BACKGROUND
Breastfeeding plays an important role in the holistic development of a child. Current knowledge and attitude of future parents will significantly influence breastfeeding practices. Therefore, ascertaining current knowledge and attitude of both soon-to-be parents will help to formulate breastfeeding promotion strategies.
RESEARCH AIM
To ascertain the knowledge and attitude of adolescents towards breastfeeding and its correlates with socioeconomic and demographic factors.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional institutional based study in which participants were recruited from Punjab, state of India. A total of 392 adolescents from January to June 2017 were evaluated on the basis of a pretested, reliable, and valid instrument. The instrument consisted of questions on knowledge and attitude regarding breastfeeding.
RESULTS
One-hundred two (26%) participants had good knowledge and 290 (74%) had poor knowledge regarding breastfeeding. A bothersome fact is that only 25% of the participants knew about the age till which a child should be breastfed. There was a statistically significant (OR = 2.93; 95% CI: [1.45--5.93]) association between high knowledge and positive attitude.
CONCLUSION
The level of knowledge amongst adolescents showed variation ranges from 15.82% to 93.11% on various aspects of breastfeeding. Despite this glaring variation, 75% of the participants had a positive attitude towards breastfeeding. Thus, there is a need for implementing modified and improved breastfeeding promotion strategies in India.
背景
母乳喂养在儿童的全面发展中起着重要作用。准父母目前的知识和态度将对母乳喂养行为产生重大影响。因此，确定准父母双方目前的知识和态度将有助于制定母乳喂养促进策略。
研究目的
确定青少年对母乳喂养的知识和态度及其与社会经济和人口因素的相关性。
材料与方法
一项基于机构的横断面研究，研究对象从印度旁遮普邦招募。2017年1月至6月，共392名青少年根据一份经过预测试、可靠且有效的工具进行评估。该工具包括关于母乳喂养知识和态度的问题。
结果
102名（26%）参与者对母乳喂养有良好的知识，290名（74%）参与者对母乳喂养知识掌握较差。一个令人困扰的事实是，只有25%的参与者知道孩子应该母乳喂养到什么年龄。高知识水平与积极态度之间存在统计学显著关联（OR = 2.93；95% CI：[1.45 - 5.93]）。
结论
青少年在母乳喂养各个方面的知识水平在15.82%至93.11%之间存在差异。尽管存在这种明显差异，但75%的参与者对母乳喂养持积极态度。因此，印度需要实施经过改进的母乳喂养促进策略。
