摘要： 目的 了解安徽省2岁以内婴幼儿的母乳喂养现状及影响因素,为有效提高母乳喂养率提供可靠依据。方法 采用随机整群抽样方法,抽取安徽省3个市9个社区医院儿童保健门诊,利用自行设计的调查问卷对1 019 名带着2岁以内儿童做常规体检的母亲进行调查。结果 安徽省6个月内纯母乳喂养率达到61.9%,合肥市母乳喂养率(64.5%)和混合喂养率(31.3%)最高,阜阳市的人工喂养率(12.3%)最高;选择人工喂养的主要原因是没有母乳。关于母乳喂养的好处,合肥和芜湖的母亲知晓率明显高于阜阳;多因素分析得知合肥和阜阳两市母乳喂养率与母亲职业有关,芜湖母乳喂养率与分娩方式有关(P<0.05)。结论 医疗机构应降低剖宫产率,加强医护人员对母乳喂养知识的宣传,延长哺乳假,公共场所提供母婴保健室,全社会共同参与,提高母乳喂养率。
