The spiritual health and breastfeeding behavior: a cross-sectional correlational study.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBreastfeeding is the optimal choice for infant health, and spiritual health may assist mothers in adapting to maternal roles, including breastfeeding. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between spiritual health and breastfeeding behavior among lactating mothers.
methodThis cross-sectional study included 400 lactating women who were selected using a multi-stage sampling method. Data collection tools included a socio-demographic and reproductive questionnaire, a spiritual health questionnaire, and a breastfeeding behavior assessment questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS V23, incorporating independent t-tests, Pearson and Spearman correlation tests, and multiple linear regression analysis.
resultsThe study included 400 women aged 29.36 ± 5.67 years. The mean scores for spiritual health and breastfeeding behavior were 91.66 ± 6.80% and 80.07 ± 9.94%, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that spiritual health (Beta = 0.287, p < 0.01), infant age (Beta = - 0.19, p < 0.01), breastfeeding initiation time (Beta = 0.12, p = 0.009), and nipple care (B = 0.09, p = 0.04) were significant predictors of breastfeeding behavior.
conclusionsThe study found a positive relationship between spiritual health and breastfeeding behavior among women. Therefore, promoting spiritual health could be considered a strategy to improve breastfeeding behavior in lactating women.
