Objective To investigate the status of exclusive breastfeeding and bottle feeding in remote rural areas of Sichuan province and explore the relationship between negative emotions of mothers and feeding patterns of infants.Methods Multistage cluster sampling was employed to select the infants aged 0-6 months and their mothers in remote rural areas of Sichuan province.A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the demographic characteristics of mothers and infants and the basic family information.The Chinese version of Depression Anxiety Stress scale was used to evaluate mothers' negative emotions,and the Breastfeeding Self-efficacy scale to assess the confidence level of mothers' behavior of adhering to exclusive breastfeeding.Results Totally 723 pairs of infants and their mothers were included.The exclusive breastfeeding and bottle feeding rates were 34.16% (247/723) and 57.54% (416/723),respectively.Mothers with depression tendency were less likely to adopt exclusive breastfeeding (OR=0.532,95%CI=0.291-0.974,P=0.041) and more likely to adopt bottle feeding (OR=1.877,95%CI=1.054-3.344,P=0.033).Further subgroup analysis of breastfeeding self-efficacy showed that in the group of low self-efficacy,the mothers with depression tendency were less likely to adopt exclusive breastfeeding (OR=0.461,95%CI=0.236-0.902,P=0.024) and more likely to adopt bottle feeding (OR=1.968,95%CI=1.047-3.701,P=0.036) than the mothers without depression tendency.In the group of high self-efficacy,mothers' depression,anxiety,and stress tendency had no significant correlation with infant feeding patterns (all P>0.05).Conclusions The mothers in the remote rural areas of Sichuan province are more likely to employ bottle feeding than exclusive breastfeeding.The mothers with stronger depression tendency demonstrate lower possibility of exclusive breastfeeding and higher possibility of bottle feeding.Breastfeeding self-efficacy may affect the association between maternal depression and infant feeding patterns.
目的 了解四川省偏远农村地区纯母乳喂养和奶瓶喂养现状,探讨母亲负性情绪与婴儿喂养方式的关系。方法 采用多阶段整群抽样,选取四川省偏远农村地区6月龄内婴儿及其母亲作为研究对象。自行设计问卷用于收集母婴人口学特征和家庭基本情况,采用抑郁-焦虑-压力量表简版评估母亲负性情绪,采用母乳喂养自我效能量表评估母亲坚持纯母乳喂养行为的信心程度。结果 共纳入723对婴儿及其母亲,纯母乳喂养率为34.16%(247/723)、奶瓶喂养率为57.54%(416/723)。有抑郁倾向的母亲纯母乳喂养的可能性更小(OR=0.532,95%CI=0.291~0.974,P=0.041),奶瓶喂养的风险更高(OR=1.877,95%CI=1.054~3.344,P=0.033)。进一步对不同母乳喂养自我效能进行分组分析,结果显示在低母乳自我效能的母亲中,有抑郁倾向的母亲比无抑郁倾向的母亲纯母乳喂养可能性更小(OR=0.461,95%CI=0.236~0.902,P=0.024),奶瓶喂养的可能性更大(OR=1.968,95%CI=1.047~3.701,P=0.036);在高母乳自我效能的母亲中,母亲抑郁、焦虑和压力倾向与婴儿喂养方式差异均无统计学意义(P均>0.05)。结论 四川省偏远农村地区的纯母乳喂养率有待提高。母亲抑郁倾向越强,纯母乳喂养可能性越小,奶瓶喂养可能性越大。母乳喂养自我效能对母亲抑郁与纯母乳喂养和奶瓶喂养之间的关联有影响。.
