abstract="The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative is a global initiative that aims to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. This study explores and describes the process of attaining Baby-Friendly designation from nurses' perspectives. A purposive sampling design was used to recruit registered nurse participants in a large, safety-net, tertiary care facility. Data were collected via semistructured interviews and were analyzed using descriptive interpretative analysis.

Initial culture shock was mediated by a successful education model, powerful experiences, and positive outcomes.<br><br>© 2016 AWHONN, the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
