Article Abstract
Numerous factors concerning early breastfeeding abandonment have been described, including health literacy (HL). This study's objective was to analyze factors related to early breastfeeding abandonment (<6 months). This prospective multicentric study examined the duration of breastfeeding at 6 months postpartum and was conducted in four different regions of Spain from January 2021 to January 2023. A total of 275 women participated in this study, which focused on maternal HL and obstetric practices. A decrease in the breastfeeding rate was observed from hospital discharge ( = 224, 81.5%) to the sixth month postpartum ( = 117, 42.5%). A Cox regression analysis revealed that inadequate HL levels, lack of mobilization during labour, and induced labour were significantly associated with early breastfeeding cessation ( = 0.022, = 0.019, and = 0.010, respectively). The results highlight that women with adequate HL had a 32% lower risk of early breastfeeding abandonment. In comparison, mobilization during labour and induction of labour were linked to a 32.4% reduction and a 53.8% increase in this risk, respectively. These findings emphasize the importance of considering obstetric and HL factors when addressing the breastfeeding duration, indicating opportunities for educational and perinatal care interventions.

Health literacy (HL) is a fundamental factor in raising health awareness and self-management, especially in contexts with increasingly complicated health systems. Its accurate and culturally appropriate measurement is necessary to support effective medical interventions. Accordingly, we translated the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) into Vietnamese and analysed its psychometric properties on the basis of data derived from respondents who completed the translated instrument.

Background: The Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration (PCOC), established in 2005 and funded by the Australian Government, is a national quality improvement initiative that integrates patient outcome measures into routine clinical practice. While PCOC supports services to improve patient care, implementation across diverse clinical settings presents challenges, with variation observed between similarly resourced services. Engaging services in continuous quality improvement proves difficult as the program grows.
