摘要

引言:纯母乳喂养是一项公共卫生干预措施,也是提高婴儿存活率的最重要策略之一。一般来说,母乳喂养在世界各地都有,尽管持续时间各不相同。因此,本研究调查了拉各斯州伊科罗杜孕妇对纯母乳喂养的知识和认知水平。方法:在本研究中,使用方便抽样方法从拉各斯Ikorodu的两家私立医院中选择174名受访者。这项研究的工具是一份结构良好的问卷,从问卷中获得的数据被编码,然后输入计算机。本分析采用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)21.0版。逻辑回归和皮尔逊相关检验等推断统计学也被用于检验关联性。所使用的显著性水平为0.05。结果:研究结果显示,大多数(39.1%)受访者的年龄在25-29岁之间。大多数(69.5%)受访者已婚,大多数(42%)受访者受过高等教育。受访者的知识水平在14分的评分表上显示,受访者的平均得分为5.22±2.28,即知识流行率为37.3%。受访者的感知水平在108分的评分中显示,他们的平均得分66.23±8.12,即感知流行率为61%。结论:总之,年轻的母亲实行纯母乳喂养,而年长的母亲则对婴儿实行非纯母乳喂养。教育程度较高的母亲实行纯母乳喂养,而教育程度较低或没有教育程度的母亲则对婴儿实行非纯母乳喂养。

Pregnant Women’s Knowledge and Perception of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Selected Hospitals in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria
Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is a public health intervention and one of the most important strategies for improving infant survival rates. Generally, breastfeeding is practiced all over the world, though with variation in duration. This study therefore examined the level of knowledge and perception of exclusive breastfeeding among pregnant women in Ikorodu, Lagos State. Methodology: In this study, a convenience sampling method was used in selecting 174 respondents from the two selected private hospitals in Ikorodu, Lagos. The instrument for this study was a questionnaire which was well-structured and data obtained from the questionnaire was coded and then inputted into the computer. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 was used for this analysis. Inferential statistics such as logistic regression and Pearson’s correlation test were also used to check for association. The level of significance used was 0.05. Result: The result of the study revealed that most (39.1%) of the respondents were between the ages of 25-29 years. Majority (69.5%) of the respondents were married and most (42%) of the respondents had tertiary education. Respondents’ level of knowledge measured on a 14-point rating scale showed that the respondents scored a mean of 5.22±2.28 which translated to a level of knowledge prevalence of 37.3%. Respondents’ perception measured on a 108-point rating showed that they scored a mean of 66.23±8.12 translated to perception prevalence of 61%. Conclusion: In conclusion, younger mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding, while older mothers practiced non-exclusive breastfeeding of their babies. Mothers with a higher level of education practiced exclusive breastfeeding, while mothers with low or no educational attainment practiced non-exclusive breastfeeding of their babies.
