The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships of fathers' attitudes regarding breast feeding, father-infant attachment, marital adjustment, and partner's feeding method, and explore the predictors of fathers' attitudes regarding breast-feeding and partner's feeding method. A descriptive correlational method of investigation was implemented. A total of 210 fathers were recruited to participate in this study from the Kaohsiung City area. The results of this study were: (1) Fathers' attitudes regarding breast feeding were positive. (2) Fathers of breast-fed infants showed significantly more positive attitudes to breast feeding and significantly better marital adjustment. (3) Father's attitudes regarding breast-feeding, father-infant attachment, were positively or related with marital adjustment. (4) The best subsets to predict fathers' attitudes regarding breast-feeding included partner's feeding method, socioeconomic status, marital adjustment, and whether they had participated in deciding the feeding method; together, these subsets accounted for 20% of the total variance. (5) The best subsets to predict partner's feeding method were parity and father's attitudes regarding breast-feeding. This study reveals the importance of evaluating fathers' attitudes regarding breast-feeding and marital adjustment in terms of enhancing family-centered nursing and breast-feeding compliance.
本研究的目的是考察父亲对母乳喂养的态度、父子依恋、婚姻调适以及伴侣的喂养方式之间的关系，并探究父亲对母乳喂养和伴侣喂养方式态度的预测因素。采用了描述性相关调查方法。从高雄市地区招募了210名父亲参与本研究。本研究的结果如下：（1）父亲对母乳喂养的态度是积极的。（2）母乳喂养婴儿的父亲对母乳喂养表现出更积极的态度，婚姻调适也明显更好。（3）父亲对母乳喂养的态度、父子依恋与婚姻调适呈正相关。（4）预测父亲对母乳喂养态度的最佳子集包括伴侣的喂养方式、社会经济地位、婚姻调适以及他们是否参与了喂养方式的决定；这些子集共同解释了总方差的20%。（5）预测伴侣喂养方式的最佳子集是胎次和父亲对母乳喂养的态度。本研究揭示了在加强以家庭为中心的护理和母乳喂养依从性方面，评估父亲对母乳喂养的态度和婚姻调适的重要性。
