The purpose of this study was to examine interrelational-, organizational-, and community-level influences on how coparents collaborate about infant and toddler feeding.
Using qualitative methods, we interviewed mother-father parent dyads to explore the potential influences on infant and toddler feeding. Participants were purposively recruited from two Midwest, rural, university-system pediatric clinics. Thematic analysis was used to code the data.
Mother-father dyadic interviews were conducted using a semistructured interview schedule. Twenty-four mother-father dyads who had a child between the ages of 6 and 36 months were interviewed together.
Major themes include interpersonal factors (peer behavior reinforcement, dyad and important others infant feeding conflict, conflict resolution proactiveness), organizational factors (healthcare provider infant-feeding support, workplace flexibility), and community factors (public perception on breastfeeding and social media influence).
Community-based collaboration can be a platform for mother-father dyads, researchers, public health nurses, and other healthcare providers to proactively create interventions that include opportunity for building coparenting skills and infant-feeding knowledge that promote team management of common early childhood feeding challenges.
本研究的目的是考察关系层面、组织层面和社区层面对于共同养育子女的父母在婴幼儿喂养问题上合作方式的影响。
我们采用定性研究方法，对父母双方进行访谈，以探究对婴幼儿喂养的潜在影响。研究对象是从美国中西部两个乡村大学系统儿科诊所中有意招募的。采用主题分析法对数据进行编码。
采用半结构化访谈提纲对父母双方进行访谈。共访谈了24对育有6至36个月大孩子的父母。
主要主题包括人际因素（同伴行为强化、父母双方及重要他人在婴儿喂养问题上的冲突、冲突解决的主动性）、组织因素（医疗保健提供者对婴儿喂养的支持、工作场所灵活性）以及社区因素（公众对母乳喂养的看法和社交媒体的影响）。
基于社区的合作可以成为父母双方、研究人员、公共卫生护士及其他医疗保健提供者积极开展干预措施的平台，这些干预措施包括培养共同养育技能和婴幼儿喂养知识的机会，以促进对常见幼儿喂养挑战的团队管理。
