Examine association between socio-demographic characteristics and breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy and breastfeeding attrition prediction among rural Hispanic women. 46 rural Hispanic women, aged 18-38 years were enrolled from Regional West Medical Center, Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Intervention (n = 23) and attention control groups (n = 23) received bi-lingual breastfeeding education using touch screen computer and printed educational material. Participants were enrolled during last 6 weeks of pregnancy. Follow up assessments were at days 3 and 7, weeks 2 and 6, and months 3 and 6 postpartum. More than half of participants were single and had 10-12 years of education. Less than half of them had ever breastfed their children. No differences in knowledge, self-efficacy and intent to breastfeed scores were seen between two groups. Significant positive association was seen between self-efficacy and intent to breastfeed. Self-efficacy is an important predictor of intent to breastfeed among rural Hispanic women.
研究农村西班牙裔妇女的社会人口学特征与母乳喂养知识、自我效能感以及母乳喂养损耗预测之间的关联。从内布拉斯加州斯科茨布拉夫的西部地区医疗中心招募了46名年龄在18至38岁之间的农村西班牙裔妇女。干预组（n = 23）和注意力控制组（n = 23）使用触摸屏电脑和印刷教育材料接受双语母乳喂养教育。参与者在怀孕的最后6周入组。产后第3天和第7天、第2周和第6周、第3个月和第6个月进行随访评估。超过一半的参与者为单身，接受过10至12年教育。其中不到一半的人曾母乳喂养过孩子。两组在知识、自我效能感和母乳喂养意愿得分方面未见差异。自我效能感与母乳喂养意愿之间存在显著正相关。自我效能感是农村西班牙裔妇女母乳喂养意愿的重要预测因素。
