Over recent years there has been widespread recognition and education about the benefits of breastfeeding. However as many Australian women breastfeed for only a few weeks, education alone appears inadequate to improve breastfeeding duration. This study explores other influences on breastfeeding by looking at women's perceptions of their breasts in relation to their breastfeeding experiences. Six women were recruited at approximately three months postpartum. The hermeneutic phenomenology of Heidegger (1962) and Gadamer (1975) was the chosen methodology. Individual, unstructured, indepth, conversational interviews were employed and analysed using Colaizzi's (1978) framework, which was modified to manage the large amount of data. Two patterns of differing focus emerged from the interviews, mixed images of the breasts and journey through the unknown of breastfeeding and new motherhood. Each pattern was divided into six and seven related themes respectively.
近年来，人们对母乳喂养的益处已有广泛认知并开展了相关教育。然而，由于许多澳大利亚女性仅母乳喂养几周时间，仅靠教育似乎不足以延长母乳喂养时长。本研究通过考察女性对自身乳房与母乳喂养经历的看法，探究影响母乳喂养的其他因素。在产后约三个月招募了六名女性。选用了海德格尔（1962）和伽达默尔（1975）的诠释现象学方法。采用了个体、非结构化、深入的对话式访谈，并使用科莱齐（1978）的框架进行分析，该框架经过修改以处理大量数据。访谈中出现了两种不同侧重点的模式，即乳房的混合形象以及母乳喂养和初为人母的未知历程。每种模式分别分为六个和七个相关主题。
