The objective of this study is to determine the factors influencing breastfeeding duration in Greece. A total of 145 women were interviewed, on the third day post-partum. Women were followed up by telephone interviews at three and six months post-partum. Chi-square test and binomial sequential logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results from this study show that baby-friendly hospital, antenatal courses, mother's perception of her capability to successfully breastfeed her infant, mother's intention to breastfeed for a duration of six months or more, mother's and father's education level, introduction of complementary foods or fluids, caesarean delivery, smoking and ethnicity were significantly associated with the duration of breastfeeding. In conclusion, additional antenatal and postnatal framework is necessary. Mothers' prediction of the duration of breastfeeding is an additional tool for identification of women with a high probability for early weaning.
本研究的目的是确定影响希腊母乳喂养持续时间的因素。在产后第三天，共对145名妇女进行了访谈。在产后三个月和六个月通过电话访谈对这些妇女进行随访。采用卡方检验和二项式序贯逻辑回归分析进行统计分析。本研究结果表明，爱婴医院、产前课程、母亲对自己成功母乳喂养婴儿能力的认知、母亲母乳喂养六个月或更长时间的意愿、母亲和父亲的教育水平、添加辅食或液体、剖宫产、吸烟和种族与母乳喂养持续时间显著相关。总之，需要额外的产前和产后框架。母亲对母乳喂养持续时间的预测是识别有早期断奶高可能性妇女的另一种工具。
