Literature reports indicate that breastfeeding is often ended earlier than planned, within the first 6 months. Assessment tools can help nursing professionals identify early breastfeeding problems to identify interventions to support families in meeting their breastfeeding goals. Here we present our analyses of the validity/reliability of the Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool (NeoEAT)-Breastfeeding adapted to the Turkish language for use in post-discharge infants in Türkiye.
A Turkish version of the NeoEAT-Breastfeeding was created and applied to 310 mothers of term and preterm infants (corrected age < 7 months) between June 2023 and April 2024. Validity and reliability were assessed using Cronbach's α coefficients, exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis, and item-total correlation, test-retest, and known-groups analysis.
The Turkish NeoEAT-Breastfeeding includes 59 items in 6 factors with 48.047% total explained variance. Exploratory factor analysis indicated that item factor loadings ranged from 0.314 to 0.788. Known-group analysis confirmed that infants with diagnosed feeding problems had higher total and subscale scores than those without (P < 0.05). The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.87. Item-total correlations were sufficient (0.302-0.753; P < 0.01). There was excellent agreement between test values and retest values obtained after a two-week interval (intraclass correlation coefficients = 0.904-1.000).
The Turkish NeoEAT-Breastfeeding was shown to be a reliable and valid parent-reported measure of feeding problems in breastfed infants younger than 7 months of corrected age after discharge.
文献报告表明，母乳喂养往往比计划提前结束，通常在出生后的前6个月内。评估工具可以帮助护理专业人员识别早期母乳喂养问题，以便确定干预措施，帮助家庭实现母乳喂养目标。在此，我们展示了对新生儿进食评估工具（NeoEAT）-母乳喂养的有效性/可靠性分析，该工具已改编为土耳其语，用于土耳其出院后的婴儿。
创建了土耳其语版的NeoEAT-母乳喂养工具，并于2023年6月至2024年4月应用于310名足月儿和早产儿（矫正年龄<7个月）的母亲。使用克朗巴赫α系数、探索性/验证性因素分析、项目-总分相关性、重测法和已知组分析来评估有效性和可靠性。
土耳其语版的NeoEAT-母乳喂养工具包括6个因素中的59个项目，总解释方差为48.047%。探索性因素分析表明，项目因素负荷范围为0.314至0.788。已知组分析证实，被诊断有喂养问题的婴儿的总分和子量表得分高于无喂养问题的婴儿（P<0.05）。克朗巴赫α系数为0.87。项目-总分相关性良好（0.302-至0.753；P<0.01）。两周间隔后获得的测试值和重测值之间具有极好的一致性（组内相关系数=0.904-1.000）。
土耳其语版的NeoEAT-母乳喂养工具被证明是一种可靠且有效的家长报告的测量工具，可用于评估矫正年龄小于7个月的出院后母乳喂养婴儿的喂养问题。
