Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting breastfeeding in adult women based on socio-demographic and health-related characteristics using the results of KNHANES VII-3. The data was analyzed by applying weights, using the complex sample analysis method of the SPSS Win 22.0 program. Breastfeeding was influenced significantly by age, education level, and the current smoking status. Women in the age group of 30-39 years had a breastfeeding rate that was 3.06 times higher than 19-29 year old women. Also, the breastfeeding rates for women with an education level under elementary school were 4.70 times higher than those with a college degree or higher education level and non-smokers and ex-smokers had levels 2.51 times higher than smokers. Therefore, for mothers under the age of 30, education on breastfeeding should be further strengthened. For mothers over 40 years old, lactation support to increase the milk supply should be provided as well as assistance toward care for other children in the family. Also, better-educated mothers will need to learn effective breastfeeding methods in limited environments such as work-life, and a social atmosphere needs to be established that is considerate to lactating women. Furthermore, education related to pregnancy and lactation should be provided for use in smoking cessation programs for female smokers.

본 연구는 제7기 3차년도(2018) 국민건강영양조사 통계 자료 중 건강 설문 조사 결과를 토대로 인구사회학적 특성 및 건강관련 특성이 성인 여성의 모유수유에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하고자 시행되었다. 자료는 가중치를 적용하여 SPSS Win 22.0 프로그램의 복합표본 분석방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 성인 여성의 모유수유에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위하여 복합표본 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 한 결과, 연령, 교육 수준, 흡연이 모유수유에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 30-39세 연령군인 경우 19-29세 연령군인 경우보다 3.06배, 초등학교 이하의 학력인 경우가 대학 이상의 학력인 경우보다 4.70배, 비흡연자가 흡연자에 비해 2.51배 모유수유율이 높았다. 따라서 30세 미만의 연령의 경우 모유 수유에 대한 교육을 더욱 강화하고 40세 이상의 연령의 경우 모유생산량을 높이고 돌봄 제공서비스를 제공해야 한다. 또한 학력이 높은 경우에는 직장생활 등의 제한된 환경에서의 효율적인 모유수유 방법을 익히고 수유부를 배려하는 사회적 분위기 조성이 필요할 것이다. 뿐만 아니라 여성 흡연자의 금연프로그램에는 임신 및 수유와 관련된 교육이 포함되어야 할 것이다.
