abstract: 'Promoting exclusive breastfeeding among urban employed mothers is a
|
|
|
|
complex phenomenon. Understanding the multiple level factors related to
|
|
|
|
this and how they influence employed mothers'' regarding exclusive
|
|
|
|
breastfeeding could help identify strategies to support mothers
|
|
|
|
continuing exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to identify
|
|
|
|
maternal, social, and workplace level factors and the interaction
|
|
|
|
effects among those factors that influence exclusive breastfeeding for
|
|
|
|
six months among urban employed mothers. This case-control study
|
|
|
|
investigated among 57 cases (exclusive breastfeeding for six months) and
|
|
|
|
228 controls (non-exclusive breastfeeding for six months) in six
|
|
|
|
purposively-selected hospital settings in Bangkok, Thailand between
|
|
|
|
September 2015 and June 2016. Data were collected through six
|
|
|
|
self-administered questionnaires; Demographic Questionnaire, Iowa Infant
|
|
|
|
Feeding Attitude Scale, Perceived Self-efficacy in Breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
Questionnaire, Breastfeeding Knowledge Questionnaire, Perceived
|
|
|
|
Breastfeeding Support Assessment Tool, and Infant Feeding Form, and were
|
|
|
|
analyzed by descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate logistic
|
|
|
|
regression.
|
|
|
|
The results revealed that maternal factors (family income, attitudes,
|
|
|
|
intention, confidence, and knowledge) and workplace factors (maternity
|
|
|
|
leave and working times) co-predicted exclusive breastfeeding six
|
|
|
|
months. In the interaction effect model, the interaction effect between
|
|
|
|
workplace policy on maternity leave and attitudes toward breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
also exerted significant influence. The findings suggest that multiple
|
|
|
|
level interventions to promote exclusive breastfeeding in employed women
|
|
|
|
are needed. In clinical practice, nurses and midwives should implement
|
|
|
|
antepartum interventions including assessment of maternal attitudes and
|
|
|
|
intentions to breastfeed, providing breastfeeding knowledge to increase
|
|
|
|
mothers'' confidence, and advice about planning to combine breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
and employment. Of great concern was a finding that more than 75\% of
|
|
|
|
the non-EBF mothers reported not having sufficient breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
facility support in the workplace. Workplace policies should be reviewed
|
|
|
|
in terms of sufficient paid maternity leave, workplace breastfeeding
|
|
|
|
support, and an appropriate number of working hours, and this has
|
|
|
|
implications for governments and multiple workplaces across the country.
|
|
|
|
Nurses have a significant role to play in advocating for and
|
|
|
|
contributing to such policies to increase the numbers of women
|
|
|
|
successfully breastfeeding longer whilst employed.'
