INTRODUCTION
Since 2003, the World Health Organization has recommended exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life. In the Northwest region of Cameroon approximately 90% of women initiate breastfeeding, yet only 34% of these women exclusively breastfeed for the recommended six months.
AIM
To determine influences on women's exclusive breastfeeding practices.
METHODS
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six women and six men followed by focus group discussions with three groups of women and three groups of men in the Kumbo West Health District, Northwest region, Cameroon. All participants were selected using theoretical sampling to assure triangulation.
RESULTS
Three themes emerged that influence exclusive breastfeeding practices: woman's readiness to exclusively breastfeed; cultural influences towards exclusive breastfeeding; and perceived constraints to exclusive breastfeeding.
CONCLUSION
These emergent themes were used to create a theoretical framework that is useful for developing a breastfeeding health education intervention in non-Western settings.
引言
自2003年以来，世界卫生组织建议在婴儿出生后的前6个月进行纯母乳喂养。在喀麦隆西北地区，约90%的女性开始进行母乳喂养，但其中只有34%的女性按照建议进行了6个月的纯母乳喂养。
目的
确定影响女性纯母乳喂养行为的因素。
方法
在喀麦隆西北地区昆博西卫生区，对6名女性和6名男性进行了半结构化访谈，随后与三组女性和三组男性进行了焦点小组讨论。所有参与者均采用理论抽样法选取，以确保三角验证。
结果
出现了影响纯母乳喂养行为的三个主题：女性进行纯母乳喂养的意愿；对纯母乳喂养的文化影响；以及纯母乳喂养的感知限制。
结论
这些新出现的主题被用于创建一个理论框架，该框架有助于在非西方环境中开展母乳喂养健康教育干预。
