设计与样本：采用半结构式访谈方法，对19对3~4个月大的祖母和新妈妈进行了定性的归纳分析。结果：对新妈妈满意的支持分为5个概念，包括“照顾孙子”、“支持家庭生活”等支持活动。新妈妈们将满意的原因归结为六个原因，如“减少了对照顾婴儿的焦虑”和“包括照顾婴儿在内的生活方式的稳定”。奶奶们在为新妈妈提供满意的婴儿护理支持方面的意图被归类为7个概念，包括“在看到母亲的情况时同情母亲的艰辛”和“平衡提供支持的愿望和维持自己的生活方式”。结论：奶奶们希望通过支持和赋权来帮助新妈妈。数据还显示，奶奶们可能受益于现代婴儿护理做法的研究信息，以及从社区内获得的可靠和最新的婴儿护理信息。支持祖母的角色最终将使婴儿和新母亲受益，并有助于祖母的个人成就感。
Objectives: This study was designed to describe grandmothers' intentions regarding providing satisfactory infant care support for new mothers.Design and Sample: Qualitative inductive analysis was performed using semistructured interviews conducted with 19 pairs of grandmothers and new mothers with one child aged 3-4 months old.Results: Support that satisfied the new mothers was categorized into five concepts, which included support activities such as "minding the grandchild" and "supporting family life". Six reasons were attributed by the new mothers for their satisfaction such as "reduced anxiety toward infant care" and "lifestyle stability including infant care". The grandmothers' intentions in providing satisfactory infant care support for new mothers were categorized into seven concepts that included "sympathizing with the hardships of motherhood upon seeing the mother's situation" and "balancing the desire to provide support and maintain their own lifestyle".Conclusions: Grandmothers wanted to help new mothers by supporting and empowering them. Data also showed that grandmothers could potentially benefit from research-based information on modern infant care practices as well as reliable and up-to-date infant care information obtained from within the community. Supporting grandmothers in their role will ultimately benefit infants and new mothers and contribute to grandmothers' personal fulfillment.
