Abstract: Objective: To search, evaluate and summarize the evidence of promoting breastfeeding in mothers separated from their babies to provide reference for clinical work. Methods: Based on the "6S" pyramid evidence model, a systematic search of relevant websites and databases was conducted to obtain relevant literature on promoting breastfeeding in mothers who were separated with their babies from January 1, 2014 to July 31, 2024. Researchers trained in systematic evidence-based nursing evaluated the methodological quality of the included literature and collected the evidence after data extraction. Results: A total of 13 articles were included, including 3 clinical decisions, 2 guidelines, 2 systematic reviews, 1 expert consensus, 1 expert opinion, 1 evidence summary, and 3 RCTs. Finally, 29 pieces of evidence were formed, containing 6 topics: training and education, lactation initiation, lactation maintenance, breast milk collection, breast milk storage and use, and follow-up education. Conclusion: The evidence summarized in this study to promote breastfeeding in mothers separated from their babies is scientific and practical, and can provide a basis for medical staff to carry out breastfeeding.
