METHODS: This study examined 3557 (weighted 3490) child-mother pairs from Turkey\'s Demographic Health Survey data in 2008, 2013, and 2018 with a complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis to explore the relationship between breastfeeding and maternal employment.
RESULTS: In our study, 35.5% of the mothers had never worked, 18.6% were still working, and 45.9% had worked in the past but were not currently working. When breastfeeding percentages were examined based on maternal working status, mothers who worked in 2008 had significantly lower breastfeeding percentages than those who had never worked or had worked previously but not currently. In both 2013 and 2018, after legal regulations, maternal employment didn\'t affect breastfeeding. After adjusting for confounding factors, maternal employment in the industry sector had lower breastfeeding percentages [AOR:0.06 (95% CI: 0.01-0.48)] than those working in agriculture.
CONCLUSIONS: It seems that adhering to legal regulations such as paid maternity leave and lactation leave can promote breastfeeding. It is necessary to raise awareness of mothers working in the industry about the continuation of breastfeeding and to monitor their legal rights.
方法:本研究对土耳其2008年、2013年和2018年的人口健康调查数据中的3557对(加权3490)儿童-母亲对进行了复杂样本的多元逻辑回归分析,以探讨母乳喂养与产妇就业之间的关系。
结果:在我们的研究中,35.5%的母亲从未工作过,18.6%的人还在工作,45.9%的人过去曾工作过,但目前没有工作。当根据产妇工作状况检查母乳喂养百分比时,在2008年工作的母亲的母乳喂养百分比显著低于从未工作或以前工作但目前没有工作的母亲.2013年和2018年,经过法律规定,产妇就业不影响母乳喂养。在调整混杂因素后,与从事农业工作的产妇相比,产业部门的产妇就业的母乳喂养百分比[AOR:0.06(95%CI:0.01-0.48)]较低.
结论:似乎坚持带薪产假和哺乳假等法律法规可以促进母乳喂养。有必要提高在该行业工作的母亲对继续母乳喂养的认识,并监测她们的合法权利。
