Breastfeeding rates among working mothers are lower than among mothers who are not employed. An ecological framework suggests that health behaviors, such as breastfeeding, are influenced by intrapersonal and environmental factors. There is no existing instrument to measure women's perception of the workplace environment in providing breastfeeding support. The objective of this study was to pilot an instrument measuring perceptions of the work climate for breastfeeding support among working women.
Data were collected from self-administered mailed questionnaires filled out by 104 pregnant women or women who had recently given birth and were employed and breastfeeding.
Dimensionally analyses supported the two-dimensional model suggested by the literature. Internal consistency reliability coefficients were high (near 0.90), and the correlation between the subscales was moderately strong (0.68).
Only a single item exhibited misfit to the scaling model, and that item was revised after review.
职业母亲的母乳喂养率低于未就业母亲。一个生态框架表明,诸如母乳喂养等健康行为受个人和环境因素影响。目前没有用于衡量女性对工作场所提供母乳喂养支持环境的认知的工具。本研究的目的是试用一种测量职业女性对母乳喂养支持工作氛围认知的工具。
数据收集自104名孕妇或刚分娩且正在工作和进行母乳喂养的女性自行填写的邮寄问卷。
维度分析支持了文献中提出的二维模型。内部一致性信度系数较高(接近0.90),分量表之间的相关性中等强度(0.68)。
只有一个项目与量表模型不匹配,该项目在审查后进行了修订。
