초록

The effects of different discharge packs on the rate of breast-feeding practice were investigated in 2, 4 and 8 postpartal weeks. The subjects were those who have made delivery at Chonnam University Hospital from Jan to Feb 1994. They were divided into three groups by the discharge pack provided at the nursery room : the one group was given with formula discharge pack, another with breast-feeding discharge pack and the other nothing. The formula discharge pack contained formula samples, a feeding bottle and a pamphlet prepared by a formula company, and breast-feeding discharge pack contained a manual pump and a pamphlet made by Korean Nurses Association. Following results were obtained : 1. Different discharge packs significantly affected the rate of breast-feeding practice at 2 week postpartum, while not at 4 and 8 week postpartum. 2. At 2 week postpartum, the rate of breast-feeding practice was significantly higher in the group given with breast-feeding discharge pak than in that given with formula discharge pack. It was also significantly higher in the group given with breast-feeding discharge pack compared with the group given nothing. The breast feeding rate, however, did not significantly differ between the formula discharge pack group and the group given nothing. 3. The most common cause for the artificial feeding was 'lacking breast milk'. The most common cause to select a specific brand of formula milk was 'the same as in the nursery room'. In conclusion, it is suggested that encouraging mothers to perform breast feeding and providing them with a breast-feeding discharge pack instead of a formula pack at the nursery room are helpful in promoting the breast-feeding.
