This study aimed at monitoring breastfeeding behaviors in primiparous mothers with risky and non-risky age groups prospectively.
This is a kind of comparative and prospective study that was carried out in 306 mothers who were registered at seven family health centers. The study sample comprised 68 primiparous mothers who were in the risky age group and 238 primiparous mothers who were not in the risky age group. It was interviewed with the mothers twice when their babies were one and six months old. Personal Information Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), and LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool were used for data collection.
The mothers in the risky age group had a lower breastfeeding rate when their babies were one month old and a higher formula feeding rate when their babies were six months old than the rates observed in case of the mothers in the non-risky age group. Mothers in the non-risky age group breastfed 14.8 times more in the first month and 5.4 times more in the sixth month than those in the risky age group. The mean scores of LATCH and BSES-SF in the first month and the mean scores of BSES-SF in the sixth month of mothers in the non-risky age group were higher than those of the mothers in the risky age group.
It was determined that primiparous mothers in the non-risky age group exhibited more positive behaviors in terms of breastfeeding. Close monitoring of breastfeeding behaviors of mothers in the risky age group could be recommended.
本研究旨在对处于风险年龄组和非风险年龄组的初产妇的母乳喂养行为进行前瞻性监测。
这是一项比较性前瞻性研究,在7个家庭健康中心登记的306名母亲中开展。研究样本包括68名处于风险年龄组的初产妇和238名不处于风险年龄组的初产妇。在其婴儿1个月和6个月大时对母亲进行了两次访谈。使用个人信息表、母乳喂养自我效能量表简表(BSES-SF)和LATCH母乳喂养评估工具收集数据。
与非风险年龄组的母亲相比,风险年龄组的母亲在其婴儿1个月大时母乳喂养率较低,在其婴儿6个月大时配方奶喂养率较高。非风险年龄组的母亲在第一个月的母乳喂养次数比风险年龄组的母亲多14.8倍,在第六个月多5.4倍。非风险年龄组母亲在第一个月的LATCH和BSES-SF平均得分以及在第六个月的BSES-SF平均得分高于风险年龄组的母亲。
确定非风险年龄组的初产妇在母乳喂养方面表现出更积极的行为。建议密切监测风险年龄组母亲的母乳喂养行为。
