Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the important indicators in achieving nutritional problems in children. Unfortunately, only 1 in 2 babies are exclusively breastfed in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to examine the factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding in the country. Design and Methods: Data were obtained from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), by using a cross-sectional design involving a total of 2,217 mothers. The independent variables include weaning food, knowledge, labor difficulties, postpartum visits, number of children, marital status, sex of children, and low birth weight (LBW), while the dependent variable include exclusive breastfeeding. Subsequently, chi-square test and logistic regression were used to examine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the related factors. Results: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia was 36.5%. Bivariate analysis showed that the variables associated with exclusive breastfeeding were weaning feeding, knowledge, low birth weight, and difficulty in labor with p-values of 0.005, 0.000, 0.040, and 0.005, respectively. The most dominant variable for exclusive breastfeeding behavior is knowledge with a value of OR = 1.85. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between knowledge of mothers, weaning food, and low birth weight with exclusive breastfeeding behavior. Meanwhile, the main determinant among the variables is mother's knowledge. Therefore, health workers and community service cadres need to provide counseling about health, assistance, and motivation to mothers, thereby they will be able to properly provide exclusive breastfeeding.
母亲的知识是印度尼西亚纯母乳喂养成功的主要因素
简介:纯母乳喂养是解决儿童营养问题的重要指标之一。不幸的是,在印度尼西亚,只有1 / 2的婴儿是纯母乳喂养的。因此,本研究旨在调查该国纯母乳喂养的相关因素。设计与方法:数据来自印度尼西亚家庭生活调查(IFLS),采用横断面设计,共涉及2217名母亲。自变量包括断奶食物、知识、分娩困难、产后就诊、孩子数量、婚姻状况、孩子性别、低出生体重(LBW),而因变量包括纯母乳喂养。随后,采用卡方检验和logistic回归检验纯母乳喂养与相关因素的关系。结果:印度尼西亚纯母乳喂养率为36.5%。双因素分析显示,与纯母乳喂养相关的变量为断奶喂养、知识、低出生体重和分娩困难,p值分别为0.005、0.000、0.040和0.005。影响纯母乳喂养行为的最主要变量是知识,OR值为1.85。结论:纯母乳喂养行为与母亲知识、断奶食物和低出生体重之间存在显著关系。同时,各变量中最主要的决定因素是母亲的知识。因此,卫生工作者和社区服务干部需要向母亲提供有关健康、援助和激励的咨询,从而使她们能够适当地提供纯母乳喂养。
