The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between body image, depression, and breastfeeding attitudes in women who had infants aged 0-24 months.
The study was cross-sectional and correlational in nature, conducted in Turkey between November 2023 and July 2024, with 282 women who had infants aged 0-24 months (n=282).
Of the women who participated in the study, 46.1% received breastfeeding training during the postpartum period, and 46.2% received breastfeeding training between 7 and 12 months. It was determined that women stopped breastfeeding between months, with the main reason being the perception of insufficient milk (51.2%). The total mean score of the Women's Breastfeeding Attitude Evaluation Scale was found to be 99.53±13.48, the Body Perception Scale was 132.19±28.84, and the Beck Depression Scale was 16.19±10.97. Additionally, if there was a high-level, positive linear relationship between the Breastfeeding Attitude Evaluation Scale and the Body Image Scale total scores (r=0.340, p<0.01), then there was a high-level, negative relationship between the Breastfeeding Attitude Evaluation Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory total score (r=-0.503, p<0.01), and a highly negative relationship was found between the Body Image Scale and the Beck Depression Scale (r=-0.526, p<0.01).
It has been concluded that low body image and depression in women who had infants aged 0-24 months negatively affect breastfeeding attitudes. It is recommended to investigate the factors affecting breastfeeding attitudes in postpartum women and to provide support and training that can positively affect breastfeeding attitudes.
本研究旨在确定0至24个月婴儿母亲的身体意象、抑郁与母乳喂养态度之间的关系。
本研究为横断面相关性研究，于2023年11月至2024年7月在土耳其进行，共有282名0至24个月婴儿的母亲参与（n = 282）。
参与研究的女性中，46.1%在产后接受了母乳喂养培训，46.2%在7至12个月期间接受了母乳喂养培训。确定女性在几个月内停止母乳喂养，主要原因是认为母乳不足（51.2%）。女性母乳喂养态度评估量表的总平均分是99.53±13.48，身体感知量表是132.19±28.84，贝克抑郁量表是16.19±10.97。此外，母乳喂养态度评估量表与身体意象量表总分之间存在高度正线性关系（r = 0.340，p < 0.01），母乳喂养态度评估量表与贝克抑郁量表总分之间存在高度负相关关系（r = -0.503，p < 0.01），身体意象量表与贝克抑郁量表之间存在高度负相关关系（r = -0.526，p < 0.01）。
得出结论，0至24个月婴儿母亲的低身体意象和抑郁会对母乳喂养态度产生负面影响。建议调查影响产后女性母乳喂养态度的因素，并提供能对母乳喂养态度产生积极影响的支持和培训。
