Abstract

Background: Pasteurized donor human milk provides a safe and desirable alternative when a parent's own milk is insufficient or unavailable. Currently, the demand for donor human milk exceeds the available supply. Little is known about the beliefs breastfeeding individuals have about milk bank donation.

Research aims: The aims of this exploratory study were to (a) provide a preliminary estimate of how well intention can be predicted, and to suggest which of the global constructs of the Reasoned Action Approach has the most influence on intention; and (b) identify the salient, top-of-the-mind beliefs underlying the intention to donate some of the milk an individual is currently producing to a milk bank.

Methods: An exploratory, cross-sectional study design, based on the Reasoned Action Approach, was used to measure the theory's global constructs and elicit beliefs underlying the intention to donate milk of lactating individuals (N = 118) living in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kentucky. Thematic and frequency analyses and multiple regression were performed.

Results: Quantitative analyses found that injunctive norm and the autonomy component of perceived behavioral control were independently associated with intention. Qualitative analyses identified the advantages (e.g., help and save babies, won't waste milk), referents who support (e.g., husband, family), and facilitators (e.g., having a convenient, close location, having more knowledge and information) of donating milk.

Conclusions: This research provides insight into how milk banks might recruit and retain donors. Additional quantitative research with a larger sample is necessary to confirm the preliminary findings of this study.

向母乳库捐赠母乳的信念:基于理论的显著信念激发。
背景:当父母的母乳不足或无法获得母乳时,巴氏杀菌的人类母乳捐赠者提供了一个安全、理想的替代选择。目前,捐献母乳供不应求。母乳喂养者对母乳库捐赠的看法鲜为人知:这项探索性研究的目的是:(a) 初步估计捐赠意向的可预测程度,并提出 "理性行动法 "的全球结构中哪一个对捐赠意向的影响最大;(b) 确定将个人目前生产的部分母乳捐赠给母乳库的意向所基于的突出的、最重要的信念:方法: 采用基于 "合理行动法 "的探索性横断面研究设计,测量该理论的总体结构,并了解居住在印第安纳州、伊利诺伊州、密苏里州和肯塔基州的哺乳期妇女(118 人)捐献牛奶意愿的基本信念。研究进行了主题分析、频率分析和多元回归分析:定量分析发现,强制规范和感知行为控制的自主成分与意向有独立关联。定性分析确定了捐奶的优势(如帮助和拯救婴儿、不会浪费牛奶)、支持者(如丈夫、家人)和促进者(如地点方便、距离近、拥有更多知识和信息):这项研究为牛奶银行如何招募和留住捐奶者提供了启示。为了证实本研究的初步结果,有必要对更多的样本进行进一步的定量研究。
