Fifty maternal-newborn nurses and 136 breastfeeding mothers participated in a prospective study designed to identify characteristics of nurses and external factors that influence nurses' ability to provide effective informational, technical, and emotional support to breastfeeding mothers and their infants. Ajzen and Fishbein's theory of reasoned action guided the study. Using questionnaire data, multiple regression analyses revealed that the nurses' supportive behavior was best predicted by their breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes. The nurses' intentions to provide support did not influence their actual behavior. Breastfeeding knowledge deficits also were identified. Because breastfeeding knowledge is predictive of nurses' supportive behavior, that knowledge must be accurate and complete to promote breastfeeding success and be considered helpful by the mother.
50名母婴护士和136名母乳喂养的母亲参与了一项前瞻性研究，该研究旨在确定护士的特征以及影响护士为母乳喂养的母亲及其婴儿提供有效信息、技术和情感支持能力的外部因素。阿杰恩和菲什拜因的理性行动理论指导了这项研究。通过问卷调查数据，多元回归分析表明，护士的母乳喂养知识和态度最能预测其支持行为。护士提供支持的意图并未影响其实际行为。研究还发现了护士在母乳喂养知识方面的不足。由于母乳喂养知识可预测护士的支持行为，因此该知识必须准确完整，才能促进母乳喂养的成功，并被母亲认为是有帮助的。
