本研究目的在探討瞭解越南族裔母親滿月時母乳哺餵態度、哺餵方式、及社會支持與本籍母親是否不同,本研究採用橫斷式研究設計,採量性研究,根據居住於台中縣地區孕婦B肝產檢資料, 95年12月至96年5月期間以鄉別及胎次為配對條件分別收取產後滿月之越南族裔母親及本籍母親各81位,共計收取162位個案。所得的資料輸入電腦,以SPSS10.0版套裝軟體進行描述性統計、卡方檢定、因素分析(factor analysis )、平均數差異顯著性考驗(t檢定)以及迴歸分析。結果發現越南族裔母親於基本資料包括:年齡、先生年齡、教育程度、先生教育程度、職業、社經地位、宗教信仰、生產方式、生產醫院、產前教育課程等均與本籍母親有統計顯著差異。滿月時所採用之哺餵方式:越南族裔母親以母乳哺餵者占59.3%,配方奶哺餵者占40.7%;而本籍母親滿月時所採用之哺餵方式以母乳哺餵者占82.7%,配方奶哺餵者占17.3%,二組的哺餵方式達統計顯著差異(p<.001)。越南族裔母親之平均母乳哺餵天數比本籍母親之平均母乳哺餵天數短(10天VS.13天),且達統計顯著差異。在母乳哺餵態度的得分上,越南族裔母親在母乳哺餵態度量表平均值為68.59±4.93分;本籍的母親在本量表得分平均值為82.19分±8.17分,二組的母親在母乳哺餵態度總分達統計顯著差異(p<.001)。在社會支持的得分上統計結果顯示;越南族裔母親在本量表得分平均值為79.59±28.16分;本籍的母親在得分平均值為128±51.27分,二組的母親在社會支持量總分達統計顯著差異(p<.001.)。 期望本研究結果可以作為政策制定者推動母乳哺餵之參考。
This study compares the breastfeeding attitude, feeding methods, and social support of Vietnamese mothers living in Taiwan to those of native Taiwanese mothers one month after birth. A total of 81 mothers for each group were recruited from the National Database of Hepatitis B Vaccination for Pregnant Women recorded from December 2006 to May 2007 in Taichung County. They were then matched on the base of their home-villages and parities. The information of the total 162 cases collected was analyzed by descriptive statistic, chi-square, Student’s t-test, factor analysis and Regression model using the packaged statistic software SPSS10.0. The results reveal that the differences in ages, husband ages, social-economic status, religions, delivery methods, delivery hospitals and ante-partum education between the two study groups are statistically significant. In the item of feeding methods, 59.3% of Vietnamese mothers adopted breastfeeding, and 40.7% fed their babies with milk. In the Taiwanese mother group, 82.7% breastfed, and 17.3% fed with milk. The difference is significant (p<.001). The average days of breastfeeding in Vietnamese mother group are shorter than those in Taiwanese mother group (10days vs. 13days). In the item of breastfeeding attitude, the average scores from the Vietnamese and Taiwanese study groups are 68.59±4.93 and 82.19±8.17 respectively. The difference is significant (p<.001). As for the social support, the average score of the Vietnamese mothers is 79.59±28.16; and the score of Taiwanese mothers is 128±51.27. The difference also reaches statistically significant (p<.001). We hope the results of this study can be a reference for understanding the change of breastfeeding behaviors due to different culture they are facing with, and could be useful for policy makers in promoting breastfeeding.
