Milk donation is allowed in Islam and considered a virtue, though according to Islam Sharia, feeding donated milk of other mothers leads to kinship between infants, complicating milk donation programs in Islamic countries. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and attitude of Iranian Muslim mothers regarding milk donation and milk banks.
In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study, 634 mothers of infants below 1 year of age were recruited using cluster random sampling from health care centers in Tabriz, Iran. Data were collected by questionnaire.
The findings revealed a low level of knowledge but relatively positive attitudes. Knowledge predictors were education level, income, type of birth, breastfeeding experience, encouragement to donate milk, and hearing about milk donation ( ≤ .02). Predictors of attitude were knowledge score and encouragement to donate milk ( ≤ .001).
Comprehensive, culturally congruent education of mothers during pregnancy and post-pregnancy related to milk banks is recommended.
在伊斯兰教中,允许捐赠母乳,且这被视为一种美德。然而,根据伊斯兰教法,喂养其他母亲捐赠的母乳会导致婴儿之间产生亲属关系,这使得伊斯兰国家的母乳捐赠项目变得复杂。本研究旨在确定伊朗穆斯林母亲对母乳捐赠和母乳库的认知及态度。
在这项横断面描述性分析研究中,采用整群随机抽样的方法,从伊朗大不里士的医疗保健中心招募了634名1岁以下婴儿的母亲。通过问卷调查收集数据。
研究结果显示,母亲们的认知水平较低,但态度相对积极。认知的预测因素包括教育程度、收入、分娩类型、母乳喂养经历、捐赠母乳的鼓励以及对母乳捐赠的了解程度(≤.02)。态度的预测因素是认知得分和捐赠母乳的鼓励(≤.001)。
建议在孕期和产后对母亲进行与母乳库相关的全面、符合文化背景的教育。
