Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding is recommended as the best form of infant feeding. In Indonesia, despite a high percentages of women (96%) who breastfeed their children, only 42% of infants aged under 6 months are exclusively breastfed. It is important to understand the factors that influence exclusive breastfeeding so that intervention can be directed precisely.Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study of mother who had 7 to 12 months old infants in Puskesmas Curug, Indonesia (2012). Data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. Chisquare was used to find risk factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding.Results: Of 60 mothers, 51.2% did exclusive breastfeeding. Factors known to influence exclusive breastfeeding were early breastfeeding initiation (p=0.002), health counselling (p<0.001) and knowledge (p=0.004). Mother’s education and occupation were not associated with exclusive breastfeeding.Conclusion: Opportunities exist for increasing health counselling in primary healthcare in Indonesia to motivate mothers to do exclusive breastfeeding.

印度尼西亚初级保健机构纯母乳喂养的相关因素

背景：母乳喂养被推荐为婴儿喂养的最佳形式。在印度尼西亚，尽管母乳喂养孩子的妇女比例很高（96%），但只有42%的6个月以下婴儿完全母乳喂养。重要的是要了解影响纯母乳喂养的因素，以便能够准确地指导干预。方法：我们对印度尼西亚库鲁格省（Puskesmas Curug，2012）有7至12个月大婴儿的母亲进行了一项横断面研究。数据是通过使用结构化问卷的面对面访谈收集的。Chisquare用于寻找与纯母乳喂养相关的风险因素。结果：在60位母亲中，51.2%的母亲采用纯母乳喂养。已知影响纯母乳喂养的因素包括早期母乳喂养（p=0.002）、健康咨询（p<0.001）和知识（p=0.004）。母亲的教育和职业与纯母乳喂养无关。结论：印度尼西亚有机会在初级保健中增加健康咨询，以激励母亲进行纯母乳喂养。
