Tóm tắt :

Background: Low breastfeeding rates are a global concern, and few studies have examined breastfeeding in Oman. Aims: We examined the associations of mothers’ sociodemographic characteristics, breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control, previous breastfeeding experience, and early breastfeeding support with infant feeding intention at birth and breastfeeding intensity at 8 weeks postpartum. Methods: We used a descriptive, prospective cohort design. Data collection was in 2016. We administered a structured questionnaire to mothers at postpartum discharge from 2 hospitals in Oman and followed up once via a 24-hour dietary recall at 8 weeks. We used a path analysis model (n = 427) using SPSS, version 24.0, and Amos, version 22. Results: During the postpartum hospitalization, 33.3% of mothers reported that their babies received formula milk. At the 8-week follow-up, 27.3% of mothers were exclusively breastfeeding. Subjective norms (measured by social and professional support) were the strongest predictors. Infant feeding intention significantly predicted breastfeeding intensity. Returning to work/school was the only sociodemographic variable to significantly correlate with breastfeeding intensity (r = –0.17; P < 0.001); mothers who planned to return to work/school had significantly lower intensity. Knowledge significantly predicted positive and negative attitudes, subjective norms and perceived control. Early breastfeeding support negatively correlated with breastfeeding intensity (r= –0.15; P < 0.001). Conclusion: Infant feeding intention positively predicted breastfeeding intensity with subjective norms or social and professional support and had the strongest correlation with mothers’ intentions.
