Infants' feeding is one of the critical periods in women's health that can influence their life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between infants' feeding patterns and mothers' physical and psychological dimensions of quality of life.
In this cross-sectional study, 189 mothers were selected by convenience sampling (n = 63 in each group of infant feeding pattern) from Isfahan in 2013. Demographic and World Health Organization's WHOQOL-BREF Quality of Life questionnaires were completed. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods through SPSS.
There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics and the mean total score of quality of life between groups (breastfeeding = 85.7, formula = 83.9, and combination feeding of breast milk and formula = 82.1). Mean scores of physical dimension of quality of life were significantly different between groups (breastfeeding = 24.7, formula = 23.7, and combination feeding of breast milk and formula = 22.7). Mean scores of psychological dimension were not significantly different between groups (breastfeeding = 21.3, formula = 20.6, and combination feeding of breast milk and formula = 20.4).
The results of this study showed that mothers in breastfeeding group have higher score in quality of life and physical and psychological dimensions, compared to the other two groups. We can increase mothers' health and quality of life and the rate of breastfeeding with wide planning and supportive intervention by the families and society.
婴儿喂养是女性健康中可影响其生活的关键时期之一。本研究的目的是调查婴儿喂养方式与母亲生活质量的身体和心理维度之间的关系。
在这项横断面研究中，2013年通过便利抽样从伊斯法罕选取了189名母亲（每种婴儿喂养方式组各63名）。完成了人口统计学和世界卫生组织的WHOQOL - BREF生活质量问卷。通过SPSS使用描述性和推断性统计方法对数据进行分析。
各组间人口统计学特征和生活质量平均总分无显著差异（母乳喂养组 = 85.7，配方奶喂养组 = 83.9，母乳和配方奶混合喂养组 = 82.1）。各组间生活质量身体维度的平均得分有显著差异（母乳喂养组 = 24.7，配方奶喂养组 = 23.7，母乳和配方奶混合喂养组 = 22.7）。各组间心理维度的平均得分无显著差异（母乳喂养组 = 21.3，配方奶喂养组 = 20.6，母乳和配方奶混合喂养组 = 20.4）。
本研究结果表明，与其他两组相比，母乳喂养组母亲在生活质量以及身体和心理维度方面得分更高。通过家庭和社会的广泛规划和支持性干预，我们可以提高母亲的健康和生活质量以及母乳喂养率。
