A 15-minute questionnaire on breast-feeding was administered to the obstetric and pediatric residents and nurses in metropolitan academic training programs in Korea to assess their attitudes to and knowledge about breast-feeding and their confidence in managing breast-feeding problems. The questionnaires were self-administered and confidential and the participants was 279. Overall, the study participants indicated a supportive attitude toward breast-feeding. Nurses had a highest supportive attitude than obstetric and pediatric residents. Their self-confidence in this area was inappropriately high with 48% of total, 49% of obstetric, 42% of pediatric and 58% of nurses describing themselves as "confident" or "very confident" to manage common breast-feeding problems to compare their knowledge level answering only 46% of the questions correctly. However, nurses who did have continuing education about breast-feeding had significantly high in knowledge level. These health care professionals have extremely limited knowledge of breast-feeding management compared to their reported confidence. To be truly supportive of breast-feeding, health care professionals should receive didactic and clinical training to breast-feeding management.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the performance level of breastfeeding health behaviors and general characteristics of breastfeeding mothers related to breastfeeding health behaviors. Method: 123 breastfeeding mothers whose infants are between 5-7 months of age participated in this study. Data was collected during a Breastfeeding Infant Contest held in September 2007 in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. Health behaviors related to breastfeeding were measured in Likert scale 5 including 20 questions developed by Park et al., and the collected data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, T-test and ANOVA using SPSS program. Result: The performance level on breastfeeding health behaviors scored $3.73{\pm}.35$ on average (5.0 in full score). The score showed that there were significant statistical differences only in the knowledge of breastfeeding between groups. The score of 'enough' knowledge group was higher than that of 'a little short' knowledge group (t=2.071, p=0.045). Conclusion: The performance level on breastfeeding health behaviors was related to the knowledge of breastfeeding in breastfeeding mothers. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance education on breastfeeding health behaviors for mothers of newborns in the hospital and to have a reevaluation process on their performance at the time of revisiting.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between breastfeeding empowerment and self-confidence in the maternal role of breastfeeding mothers. Method: Breastfeeding empowerment was measured on a scale of 5 developed by Kim & Park(2004), while self-confidence was measured on a scale of 4 by Lederman et al.(1981). Data was collected during a Breastfeeding Infant Contest held in September 2006 and 2007 in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. The subjects were 278 breastfeeding mothers. The collected data was processed with the SPSS win 12.0 version. Result: Breastfeeding empowerment scored 4.21 on average (5.0 full score). The score showed a statistical difference only in breast milk quantity and breastfeeding knowledge. On the otherhand self-confidence in the maternal role showed a statistical difference only in breastfeeding frequency and know ledge. Self-confidence in the maternal role showed a statistically significant relationship with breastfeeding skill(${\gamma}=0.50$), with breastfeeding will(${\gamma}=0.45$), with adherence to exclusive breastfeeding(${\gamma}=0.35$) and with group empowerment(${\gamma}=0.39$). Conclusion: The positive relationship between breastfeeding empowerment and self-confidence in the maternal role implies that breastfeeding empowerment may be utilized to promote self-confidence in the mother's role.

본 연구는 농촌지역의 모유수유 실태를 파악하고 이에 영향을 미치는 관련 요인을 살펴보고자 하였다. 2012년 3월 20일부터 4월 19일까지 울산광역시 울주군의 보건소 및 보건지소와 어린이집을 다니는 60개월 미만의 영유아를 둔 어머니 139명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS Win 18.0 프로그램을 이용하였고 영역별 분석은 평균과 표준편차, 다중회귀분석으로 통계적 진술하였다. 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 모유수유에 영향을 미치는 관련 요인으로는 어머니의 직장유무, 산전 모유수유 교육 여부, 생후 1개월에 완전모유수유 유무가 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 지속적인 완전모유수유율을 높이기 위해서는 분만 전 병의원이나 보건소 등을 통한 교육의 실시, 직장 여성에게는 출산휴가나 육아휴직 사용 등으로 인한 불이익이 없는 지역사회 환경이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
