Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of knowledge and attitude level of breast feeding between breast feeding mothers and bottle feeding mothers. The subjects were mothers of 65 infants 1-6 months of age.
Data were collected by a questionnaire on knowledge of breast feeding developed by Jung et al.(1994) and on attitude of breast feeding developed by Shin and Jeon(1996).
The data was statistically analyzed according to Frequency, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficients.
The results are as follows.
1) Degree of knowledge of breast feeding was significantly different according to child number(F=3.72, P<0.05) and delivery pattern(T=2.28, P<0.05) in breast feeding mothers.
2) There was a significant difference on knowledge of breast feeding between breast feeding mothers and bottle feeding mothers t=2.34, p<0.5).
3) There was a statistical significant difference on attitude of mothers and bottle feeding mothers t=3.05, p<.01).
4) The correlation between the mother’s knowledge and attitude level of breast feeding was not found.
Based on the results of this study, we suggest that systematic and supportive breast feeding program including knowledge and attitude of breast feeding have to be provided by nurse to mothers of infants to take an important role in breast feeding.
