BACKGROUND
Breastfeeding is widely recognized as the optimal and natural form of infant feeding.
However, there are many obstacles and barriers towards exclusive breastfeeding to the
recommended six months duration for mother to practice it. The aim of our study was to
identify associated factors for unsuccessful exclusive breastfeeding among healthcare
providers in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2015 to December 2015 by using a
validated Malay version structured self-administered questionnaire to 295 healthcare
providers. The selected socio-demographics and maternal characteristics were obtained.
Multiple logistic regressions were used to evaluate the associated factors for unsuccessful
exclusive breastfeeding.RESULT
The prevalence of unsuccessful exclusive breastfeeding among healthcare providers in
Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia was reported to be 58.3%. Mothers who deliver via
Lower Segment Cesarean Section (OR 2.31[95% CI: 1.07, 4.98]), had inadequate breast
milk (OR 4.06 [95% CI: 2.40, 6.89]) and mothers who preferred formula milk (OR 4.40
[95% CI: 1.45, 13.31]) were significantly associated with unsuccessful exclusive
breastfeeding.
CONCLUSION
Unsuccessful exclusive breastfeeding among healthcare providers was high. Mode of
delivery, adequacy of breast milk and mothers preference for infant feeding showed a
significant positive association with unsuccessful exclusive breastfeeding. |
