To explore women's experience with continuing breastfeeding when they returned to work.
A cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were female employees at the University of Seville who gave birth in the last 10 years while working at University.
A questionnaire in Spanish was used to collect information on sociodemographic variables, employment characteristics, continued breastfeeding behavior after returning to work and the dimensions of the validated scale the Workplace Breastfeeding Support Scale (WBSS).
A total of 197 women responded, consisting of 53.8% faculty and 46.2% administrative staff. Almost all the women had breastfed their children (92.9%). The proportion of women who continued to breastfeed after they returned to work was 51.3%. The main reason given for interrupting lactation was the challenge of reconciling family and work (53.1%). Faculty members took more breaks for breastfeeding (p = 0.002) and were able to arrange their breaks more easily (p < 0.001). Since it was easier for them to find a quiet place to pump breast milk (p = 0.025), they were more likely to continue breastfeeding after returning to work than were administrative staff (59.8% vs. 41.1%, p < 0.009).
A designated lactation space and amenities should be provided in order to extend the duration of breastfeeding.
探讨女性重返工作岗位后继续母乳喂养的经历。
开展了一项横断面研究。参与者为塞维利亚大学的女性员工，她们在过去10年于该校工作期间分娩。
使用一份西班牙语问卷收集社会人口学变量、就业特征、重返工作岗位后继续母乳喂养行为以及经过验证的工作场所母乳喂养支持量表（WBSS）各维度的信息。
共有197名女性做出回应，其中53.8%为教员，46.2%为行政人员。几乎所有女性都曾母乳喂养过孩子（92.9%）。重返工作岗位后继续母乳喂养的女性比例为51.3%。中断哺乳的主要原因是难以平衡家庭和工作（53.1%）。教员因母乳喂养而休息的次数更多（p = 0.002），且能更轻松地安排休息时间（p < 0.001）。由于她们更容易找到安静的地方挤奶（p = 0.025），所以重返工作岗位后继续母乳喂养的可能性高于行政人员（59.8%对41.1%，p < 0.009）。
应提供指定的哺乳空间和设施，以延长母乳喂养的持续时间。
