Women use their cumulative breastfeeding experiences, in combination with other factors, to make their infant feeding decisions. This pilot study assessed the reliability and predictive validity of the revised Beginning Breastfeeding Survey-Cumulative (BBS-C).
25 women were recruited prenatally from a university hospital. The BBS-C was completed before hospital discharge. Infant feeding outcomes were measured at 1 and 3 months postpartum.
Participants were 17-40 years old, mostly married, Whites, and well-educated. Coefficient alpha was .92-.94. The BBS-C predicted an infant not receiving breast milk, not feeding from the breast, and receiving infant formula feedings.
In this sample, the BBS-C had strong reliability and predictive validity. Further testing should assess reliability and predictive validity in a wider range of populations and settings.
女性会结合自身累积的母乳喂养经历及其他因素来做出婴儿喂养决策。这项试点研究评估了修订后的《初产妇母乳喂养调查-累积版》(BBS-C)的信度和预测效度。
从一家大学医院产前招募了25名女性。BBS-C在出院前完成。产后1个月和3个月时测量婴儿喂养结果。
参与者年龄在17至40岁之间,大多已婚,为白人,且受教育程度较高。α系数为0.92至0.94。BBS-C预测婴儿未接受母乳、未进行亲喂以及接受配方奶喂养。
在该样本中,BBS-C具有较高的信度和预测效度。进一步的测试应评估在更广泛人群和环境中的信度和预测效度。
