探讨母乳喂养持续时间、母亲性格以及母亲对母乳喂养的态度和经历之间的关联。了解对母乳喂养开始和持续时间的影响对于提高母乳喂养率和支持新妈妈至关重要。众所周知，自我效能、知识和自信等母亲特征有助于女性进行母乳喂养，但人们对母亲特质人格对母乳喂养的影响知之甚少。探索性横断面调查。共有 602 名婴儿年龄为 6-12 个月的母亲完成了一份自我报告问卷，调查母亲特质个性、母乳喂养持续时间以及母乳喂养的态度和经历。数据收集于 2009 年 3 月至 6 月期间。外向性、情绪稳定性和责任心水平较高的母亲明显更有可能开始并持续更长时间的母乳喂养。与这些人格特征显着相关的态度和经历，例如感知到的困难和缺乏支持，可以解释这些模式。例如，与内向和焦虑相关的特征可能会阻止女性在这个关键时刻寻求支持或挑战他人的消极态度。因此，了解母亲性格的影响可能是产前支持的一个有用工具，可以识别可能需要额外、定向支持的女性，同时促进讨论母乳喂养的潜在障碍。
To explore associations among breastfeeding duration, maternal personality and maternal attitudes and experiences of breastfeeding. Understanding influences on breastfeeding initiation and duration is critical to increasing breastfeeding rates and supporting new mothers. Maternal characteristics such as self‐efficacy, knowledge and confidence are known to enable women to breastfeed, but little is known about the influence of maternal trait personality on breastfeeding. An exploratory cross‐sectional survey. A total of 602 mothers with an infant aged 6–12 months old completed a self‐report questionnaire examining maternal trait personality, breastfeeding duration and attitudes and experiences of breastfeeding. Data were collected between March–June 2009. Mothers who reported high levels of extraversion, emotional stability and conscientiousness were significantly more likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding for a longer duration. Attitudes and experiences significantly associated with these personality traits such as perceived difficulties and lack of support may explain these patterns. For example, characteristics associated with introversion and anxiety may prevent women from seeking support or challenging negative attitudes of others at this critical time. Understanding the influence of maternal personality may thus be a useful tool in antenatal support to recognize women who may need extra, directed support while facilitating discussion of potential barriers to breastfeeding.
