This research aims to explore, in qualitative terms, attitudes held by a sample of university-educated young men and women residing in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia about breastfeeding in public places. In sum, 20 women and 27 men between the ages of 18 and 23 participated in moderated single-sex focus groups that discussed breastfeeding, following a list of prepared questions and using photographs as discussion cues. Although participants uniformly stated that they desired their future children to be breastfed, 31 of 47 expressed restrictive attitudes toward exposure of the breast (eg, "should use washrooms," "okay if discreet") and breastfeeding in restaurants. Eight expressed positive unrestricted statements about breastfeeding in public spaces. Addressing widely held attitudes toward breastfeeding in public spaces, in addition to providing information about breastfeeding's health benefits, may be helpful in campaigns promoting breastfeeding.
本研究旨在以定性的方式探讨新不伦瑞克省和新斯科舍省 20 名年龄在 18 至 23 岁之间的受过大学教育的年轻男性和女性对在公共场所母乳喂养的态度。共有 27 名男性和 20 名女性参加了由主持人主持的单性别焦点小组讨论，讨论内容是围绕母乳喂养进行的，使用了一系列准备好的问题，并使用照片作为讨论线索。尽管参与者一致表示希望他们未来的孩子能够母乳喂养，但 47 人中的 31 人对乳房暴露（例如，“应该使用洗手间”，“如果谨慎的话可以”）和在餐馆母乳喂养持限制态度。8 人对在公共场所母乳喂养持积极的无限制态度。解决公众对在公共场所母乳喂养的普遍看法，并提供有关母乳喂养对健康的益处的信息，可能有助于促进母乳喂养的活动。
