摘要

本研究目的在探討産後期父親對哺喂母乳的態度、配偶哺喂方式、父子依附及婚姻調適間的相關性；並探討父親對哺喂母乳的態度及配偶哺喂方式的預測因子。本研究採立意取樣，收集高雄地區新生兒出生4-6週的父親爲研究對象，共收取210位個案。研究方法採用結構式問卷調查法，研究結果發現：(1)父親對哺喂母乳的態度趨於正向；(2)喂母乳組的父親對哺喂母乳的態度以及婚姻調適程度皆較喂嬰兒本文奶組爲佳；(3)父親對喂母乳的態度、父子依附關系均無婚姻調適程度呈顯著正相關；(4)配偶哺喂方式、社經地位、婚姻調適程度、有無參與哺喂方式的決定，可顯著預測父親對哺喂母乳的態度，總變異量解釋力爲20%；(5)胎次及父親對哺喂母乳的態度可顯著預測配偶是否哺喂母乳。因此本研究結果可提供護理人員在推選哺喂母乳的過程中，重視父親對號脈喂母乳的態度及影響力，並主動評估其婚姻調適適度，以達到“以家庭爲中心”的護理目標並進而提昇母乳哺喂率。
