Abstract

RNs play a key role in promoting breastfeeding among new mothers, yet often lack workplace support to meet their own breastfeeding goals, potentially affecting their roles as breastfeeding champions and the length of their own breastfeeding. Therefore, implementing more comprehensive workplace support, including policies, physical environments, and interpersonal support, is imperative.
