This study was conducted to determine nurses' and postpartum women's knowledge of and attitudes toward the traditional Chinese custom of 1-month confinement following delivery, to discover factors influencing the attitudes, and to analyze the correlation between them. After a descriptive and inferential analysis of 173 questionnaires (121 recent mothers and 52 nurses), a significant difference was found in the women's and nurses' scores for knowledge of the postpartum confinement custom, with postpartum women scoring higher than the nursing staff on average. Both groups held positive attitudes toward the traditional custom. Attitudes and level of knowledge were positively correlated. Results of this study can serve as a reference for in-service nursing education, which should include information about traditional postpartum customs.
本研究旨在确定护士和产后妇女对产后坐月子这一中国传统习俗的了解程度和态度，找出影响这些态度的因素，并分析两者之间的相关性。在对173份问卷（121位新妈妈和52位护士）进行描述性和推断性分析后，发现女性和护士在产后坐月子习俗知识得分上存在显著差异，产后女性的平均得分高于护理人员。两组对这一传统习俗都持积极态度。态度和知识水平呈正相关。本研究结果可为在职护理教育提供参考，在职护理教育应纳入有关传统产后习俗的信息。
