BACKGROUND
Breastfeeding provides unsurpassed natural nutrition to the newborn and infant. It has a nearly perfect mix of food elements and vitamins that infants need to grow up. Nonetheless, the tendency for breastfeeding remains below the expected levels.
OBJECTIVES
To explore the attitudes and barriers to breastfeeding among mothers in Princess Nourah Abdulrahman University (PNU), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted, from January to April 2019; 399 PNU students, employees, and faculty mothers aged 18 years and above with experience of childbirth and breastfeeding were included in the study using a predesigned validated questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of four scales: sociodemographic, attitude toward breastfeeding, barriers to breastfeeding, and induced lactation knowledge.
RESULTS
The participants' mean age was 34.1 ± 10.4 years; most (87.8%) were Saudi; 92.8% were married; 62% had a bachelor's degree; and 43% had "enough income." While 40% of the mothers reported >6 months "exclusive breastfeeding" for the first baby, only 34.8% did so for the last baby, and 54.5% did so for most of all babies altogether. The mothers' parity ranged between 1 birth and 4 births in 23.5% and 17.5% of the participants, respectively. An overall score of breastfeeding attitude averaged 59.6 ± 7.3. The tendency for scoring a negative attitude to breastfeeding was significantly reported ( < 0.5) among 127 (31.8%) 31- to 40-year-old mothers; 153 (38.3%) bachelor's degree holders; and 157 (39.3%) employees ( (4) 14.6, = 0.006; (4) 10.4, = 0.034; and (4) 20.4, < 0.001, respectively). "Mother's illness" was the most commonly (63%) reported barrier to "not to breastfeed," followed by "work" (45.5%) and "father not supporting breastfeeding" (14.8%).
CONCLUSIONS
An overall negative attitude toward breastfeeding among PNU mothers was noted. Barriers included mother's sickness and work. Efforts to minimize such negative attitudes and barriers among susceptible mothers are warranted.
背景
母乳喂养为新生儿和婴儿提供了无与伦比的天然营养。它的食物元素和维生素组合近乎完美，是婴儿成长所需的。尽管如此，母乳喂养的趋势仍然低于预期水平。
目的
探讨沙特阿拉伯利雅得努拉公主诺拉·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼大学（PNU）母亲对母乳喂养的态度和障碍。
方法
采用横断面研究，于 2019 年 1 月至 4 月进行；纳入了 399 名年龄在 18 岁及以上、有分娩和母乳喂养经验的 PNU 学生、员工和教师母亲，使用预先设计的经过验证的问卷进行研究。问卷包括四个量表：社会人口统计学、母乳喂养态度、母乳喂养障碍和诱导泌乳知识。
结果
参与者的平均年龄为 34.1±10.4 岁；大多数（87.8%）是沙特人；92.8%已婚；62%拥有学士学位；43%有“足够的收入”。虽然 40%的母亲报告说第一个孩子有>6 个月的“纯母乳喂养”，但最后一个孩子只有 34.8%，而所有孩子中 54.5%的孩子有“纯母乳喂养”。母亲的生育胎次在 23.5%和 17.5%的参与者中分别在 1 次至 4 次之间。母乳喂养态度的综合评分平均为 59.6±7.3。有 127 名（31.8%）31-40 岁的母亲、153 名（38.3%）拥有学士学位的母亲和 157 名（39.3%）员工报告说对母乳喂养的态度倾向于负面（<0.5）（ (4) 14.6, = 0.006； (4) 10.4, = 0.034；和 (4) 20.4, < 0.001）。“母亲生病”是最常见的（63%）“不母乳喂养”的障碍，其次是“工作”（45.5%）和“父亲不支持母乳喂养”（14.8%）。
结论
PNU 母亲对母乳喂养的总体态度呈负面。障碍包括母亲生病和工作。有必要努力减少易感母亲的这种负面态度和障碍。
