[article]  inBirth > Vol.30 n°3 (Septembre 2003) . - pp.195-202 Titre : Breastfeeding patterns of primiparous mothers in Hong Kong Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : JE Dodgson, Auteur ; Marie Tarrant, Auteur ; DY Fong, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp.195-202 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Asie Culture Ethnologie Facteur sociodémographique Index. décimale : ET.1 Etude ethnographique Résumé : BACKGROUND: An understanding of patterns of breastfeeding is necessary for the effective implementation of breastfeeding promotion and intervention programs. In Hong Kong, little current data have been gathered on women's breastfeeding rates. The objective of this study was to determine how patterns of breastfeeding, maternal demographics, and maternal employment affect continuation of breastfeeding in primiparous women in Hong Kong. METHOD: A longitudinal self-report survey was used to collect data when first-time mothers (n=218) were in the hospital, at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postpartum, or until they weaned their infant. All data (self-report survey, demographic data, and follow-up telephone surveys) were collected in Cantonese and then translated into English. Data were analyzed by determining, first, the influence of individual variables on the length of breastfeeding using a simple Cox regression analysis, and second, by grouping variables according to time sequence and entering them into a Cox regression model in 4 sequential phases. RESULTS: Factors that were significantly associated with continuation of breastfeeding were maternal age (HR=0.97; p=0.048); attendance at a prenatal breastfeeding class (HR=0.69; p=0.020); intended weeks of breastfeeding (HR=0.97; p<0.001); breastfeeding score in hospital (HR=0.99; p=0.009); and length of exclusive breastfeeding (HR=0.93; p<0.001). Similar results were obtained in the multiphase Cox regression analysis; only the breastfeeding score in hospital became marginally insignificant (p=0.053) after adjusting for demographics, prenatal, and other immediate postpartum factors. CONCLUSIONS: Short periods of exclusive breastfeeding and early supplementation were common in this sample. Unlike previous research, maternal employment was not a statistically significant factor in length of continued breastfeeding. Study findings show that multiple factors influence continued breastfeeding in Hong Kong, suggesting further areas for investigation. Changes in practice may improve continued and exclusive breastfeeding rates. Permalink : ./index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=213 [article]

Breastfeeding Practices Among Employed Thai Women in Chiang Mai / S Yimyam in Journal of Human Lactation, Vol.15 n°3 (Septembre 1999)

[article]  inJournal of Human Lactation > Vol.15 n°3 (Septembre 1999) . - pp.225-232 Titre : Breastfeeding Practices Among Employed Thai Women in Chiang Mai Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : S Yimyam, Auteur ; M Morrow, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp.225-232 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Sevrage Thailande Travail Index. décimale : ET.1 Etude ethnographique Résumé : In many developing countries, labor force participation by women in the childbearing years has increased rapidly. Social and economic changes present new challenges for women attempting to combine their roles as workers and mothers. Little is known about how these challenges affect infant feeding choices. This multidisciplinary study investigated work and infant feeding decisions among 313 employed women in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Resumption of employment generally had negative affects on breastfeeding rates and duration. At 6 months postpartum, women who worked inside the home breastfed more than those working in the formal sector at jobs with inflexible hours (home, 80%; public sector, 37%; private sector, 39%). Women who were working outside the home for a long period or had shift jobs encountered many obstacles to maintaining breastfeeding, and most gave it up within 1 month after resuming employment. There is a need for multisectoral policies that address obstacles to breastfeeding among women in the paid labor force in Thailand. Permalink : ./index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=302 [article]

Child care in India : An examination of the household size/infant indulgence hypothesis / SC Seymour in Cross-cultural research, Vol.35 n°1 (Février 2001)

[article]  inCross-cultural research > Vol.35 n°1 (Février 2001) . - pp.3-22 Titre : Child care in India : An examination of the household size/infant indulgence hypothesis Titre original : Soin des enfants en Inde : une analyse de l'hypothèse taille du ménage/indulgence envers l'enfant Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : SC Seymour, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp.3-22 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Culture Famille Inde Nourrisson et enfant de 0 à 2 ans Index. décimale : ET.1 Etude ethnographique Résumé : This article provides an intracultural examination of John Whitings household size and infant indulgence hypothesis. Inspired by Ruth H. Munroe and Robert L. Munroe's effort to replicate Whiting's holocultural study with an intracultural study among the Logoli of East Africa, the author uses similar measures of infant indulgence and household density to examine child care data from India. Explanations are offered for the largely negative results for this sample of Indian households. Finally, an important implication of the Whiting hypothesis - the multiple caretaking of infants and young children - is explored Permalink : ./index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=227 [article]

Child care practices in nonindustrialized societies / EA Nelsen in Pediatrics, Vol.105 n°6 (Juin 2000)

[article]  inPediatrics > Vol.105 n°6 (Juin 2000) Titre : Child care practices in nonindustrialized societies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : EA Nelsen, Auteur ; W Schiefenhoevel, Auteur ; F Haimerl, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Culture Ethnologie Mort subite du nourrisson Nourrisson et enfant de 0 à 2 ans Index. décimale : ET.1 Etude ethnographique Résumé : OBJECTIVE: To described child care practices associated with an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in nonindustrialized 19th and 20th century societies. METHODOLOGY: The Human Relations Area Files collection is a unique source of information on the cultures of the world. The electronic version of the Human Relations Area Files represents 200 000 pages of fully indexed cultural material on a stratified random sample of 60 nonindustrialized societies. Using various keyword combinations, texts containing information related to sleeping conditions, social interaction, temperature regulation, feeding, and smoking were identified and using structured questionnaire practices were recorded as being present, absent, or not stated. RESULTS: Relevant information was identified for 53 societies. None of 4 societies mentioning sleep position used the prone position. Swaddling and restraint were commonly practiced, often for extended periods of time. Most information was available on infant feeding and the predominant pattern was of demand breastfeeding for long periods. In many of the cultures, infants are seen as being the focus of attention, in close contact with and under the constant supervision of the mother, siblings, and other relatives. CONCLUSIONS: The study produced no clear evidence that these primarily nonindustrialized societies followed child care practices likely to protect against SIDS. Despite limitations, the information presented should be of interest to those involved in developing reduce the risks programs for SIDS prevention, because it highlights the considerable variation in child care practices and emphasizes that health education messages may not always be cross-culturally valid.

Comparison of effects of breast-feeding practices on birth-spacing in three societies: nomadic Turkana, Gainj, and Quechua / SJ Gray in Journal of biosocial science, Vol.26 n°1 (Janvier 1994)

[article]  inJournal of biosocial science > Vol.26 n°1 (Janvier 1994) . - pp.69-90 Titre : Comparison of effects of breast-feeding practices on birth-spacing in three societies: nomadic Turkana, Gainj, and Quechua Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : SJ Gray, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp.69-90 Note générale : PMID: 8200881 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Aménorrhée lactationnelle Anthropologie Culture Fertilité Kenya Océanie Pérou Index. décimale : ET.1 Etude ethnographique Résumé : Variation in the duration and pattern of breast-feeding contributes significantly to inter-population differences in fertility. In this paper, measures of suckling frequency and intensity are used to compare the effects of breast-feeding practices on the duration of lactational amenorrhoea, and on the length of the birth interval in three prospective studies undertaken during the 1980s, among Quechua Indians of Peru, Turkana nomads of Kenya, and Gainj of Papua New Guinea.
