Abstract

Breastfeeding empowers women and children and working mothers who revolutionize the workplace globally, specifically in carrying mutual roles as employees delivering quality service to humanity and mothers nurturing their children. This study explored the knowledge, practices, and constraints among breastfeeding working mothers in Region III, Philippines, towards implementing lactation areas. A mixed-methods approach combined a quantitative survey with a qualitative semi-structured interview component. Findings showed a high prevalence of breastfeeding among working mothers, coupled with a good level of knowledge about breastfeeding practices. However, constraints such as lack of lactation areas in offices, heavy workload, and limited support were revealed, thus foregrounding the need for institutionalized policies and guidelines to establish lactation areas in offices, promote breastfeeding, and support working mothers and their welfare, anchored on sustainable development goals (SDGs). By addressing these issues, workplaces position a more conducive environment for breastfeeding mothers, contributing to improved maternal and infant health outcomes. Further, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers, employers, and healthcare providers in initiating more effective strategies to support breastfeeding working women. Through the documented findings and by providing concrete recommendations for policy and infrastructure, this research advances the shaping of a more breastfeeding-friendly environment, promotion of maternal and infant health, supporting SDG 3-good health and well-being, and enhancement of workplace productivity towards achieving SDG 8-decent work and economic growth and SDG 5-gender equality.

Abstract

Technological advancement in 21st century brought paradigm shift in research and professional development. Teachers engaged in cross-border and virtual collaborative undertakings. This study reports how teachers engaged in virtual collaborative research writing for professional development, particularly hindrances and potential of leveraging virtual collaborative platforms in Asia-Pacific Region. Utilizing hermeneutic phenomenological approach, insights and experiences of 200 purposively selected teacher-researchers from Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam were elicited through in-depth interviews with 10 open-ended questions. Findings revealed four major themes that expound dynamics of virtual collaborative research writing towards professional development among teacher-researchers, foregrounding convenience and accessibility experienced by teacher-researchers with collaborative research. Further, given the benefits of virtual collaborative platforms, results showed that professional skills, research productivity, and efficiency are developed as teacher-researchers continue to work with different people around the world virtually. While there are multiple advantages, challenges in virtual collaboration remain evidently, including technological obstacles, unreliable internet connectivity, and absence of nonverbal cues that impeded productivity and weakened human connections. With these findings affirming transformative potential of virtual collaboration in academic and professional development, it is crucial to emphasizing its importance in overcoming traditional barriers to research, innovation, and professional development.
