Summary:碩士 === 雲林科技大學 === 健康產業管理研究所碩士班 === 97 === The goal of this research was to study the correlation between the background factors, supporting systems, providing of the information about breast feeding and the infant feeding from the hospital-delivered mothers during the hospital stay, 1 week after discharge, 1month after the discharge, and 2 months after the discharge . The research objectives were the hospital-delivered mothers in a regional teaching hospital. The investigation method was by questionnaires. We set out totally 75 copies of questionnaires, and returned 75 (100%). Except one was ineffective, the other 74 were collected for statistical analysis. Research results showed in the followings. During the hospital stay, 69 (93.2%) mothers were exclusively breast feeding. The mothers without religious belief had significantly higher percentage of breast feeding for infants than the mother with religious belief. For the mothers received antenatal examinations in the same hospital, the breast feeding rate was significantly higher in the first week, the first month, and the second month after discharge than those mothers who did not. For the mothers who had breast feeding during the hospital stay, the breast feeding rate was significantly higher in the first week, the first month, and the second month after discharge than those mothers who did not. Although not statistically significant, the mothers who determined breast feeding in the earlier time was the majority of persistent breast-feeding mothers. The vocation of the mothers also had effect on infant feeding in the first to second months after delivery. The majority of breast-feeding mothers were house-keepers. In the analysis of supporting systems for breast feeding, the majority was their spouse and other family members. In the analysis of professional providing of information, the majority was the nurses. Advanced analysis of the top five factors necessary for supporting systems showed all of them were not enough. Besides, we also found that more enough supporting for breast feeding, higher recognition for breast-feeding related information. The results of our research would provide the evidence for the hospitals to keep continuous clinical cares, for the nurses to give suggestions in breast-feeding tutorial, in order to promote the care quality for the mother and infants.
