An interview with structured questionnaire was used for collecting data from mothers in the primary health care centers coming for their infant's vaccination appointments Results: A total 360 mothers participated in the study. Exclusive breastfeeding was initiated by 86.9% in obese and diabetic mothers and 90.2% in non-obese and non-diabetic mothers. The rate of all breastfeeding at six months postpartum was 75% in obese and diabetic mothers compared to 86.3% in non-obese and non-diabetic mothers. Prevalence rate of exclusive breastfeeding at six months postpartum showed a statistical difference in obese and diabetic mothers compared to healthy non-obese and non-diabetic mothers (31.0% versus 58.8%). The most common reason of exclusive breastfeeding cessation was insufficient breast milk Conclusion: The prevalence rate of exclusive breastfeeding decreased over the first six months of an infant's life. Obesity and diabetes had negative effects on breastfeeding outcomes. Non-Obese and non-diabetic mothers had higher prevalence rates of exclusive breastfeeding practices than obese and diabetic mothers did. Obesity and diabetes mellitus were associated with lower duration of exclusive breastfeeding.10 0Item Restricted Assessment of Ambient Noise Exposure Among Female Nurses in Surgical Cardiac Intensive Care Unit in A Government Hospital in Saudi Arabia(Saudi Digital Library) Alduais,Safa AbdullatifBackground: Hospital noise levels worldwide are exceeding international guidelines with a negative effect on patients and staff. World Health Organization (WHO) regard noise as a leading stressor and recommends hospital noise levels during day and night. In many careers noise can affect the concentration, communication, leading to fatigue, along with permanent noise-induced hearing loss. Hospital’s intensive care units (ICUs) have an individual acoustic environment; alarms, occupant sounds, and machines, that contribute to the overall noise. Objective: The main objective is to measure noise levels in Saud Albabtain Cardiac Center (SBCC), cardiac surgical ICU (CSICU) at different locations to find out the prevalence of noise induced hearing loss among female nurses. Methods: The CSICU ambient noise was measured using a sound level meter and personal noise dosimeter during morning and night shift ,12 hours (12-h) duty, for 30-day period. An audiometry test and a questionnaire were used to test nursing response against noise levels. Results: The mean of 12-h average noise level at the station during night shift was 60.3±7.1 dB(A) and inside the rooms was 62.48±8.02 dB(A). The rooms during morning shift recorded 64.1±8.4 dB(A) and the station 68.8±8.2 dB(A) with significant differences between both shifts (p < 0.0001). The monitors recorded the highest source levels of 82.7±5.3 dB(A). The lowest significant source was the suction machine with an average of 67.1±12.5 dB(A). All sources exceeded WHO standards with a high significant risk to the nurses. Additionally, a significant strength of the correlation between decibel(dB) loss and Nurses experience were observed. Conclusion: the noise levels in the CSICU is higher than the WHO standards. CSICU nurses are exposed to noise levels that can affect there hearing capacity. further research needed for effective medical device alarm management.5 0
