Breastfeeding support and self-evaluation

Hypothesis: Does more breastfeeding support three months postpartum predict more positive self-evaluation of breastfeeding five months postpartum? Measurement and findings: Breastfeeding support was measured three months postpartum using the Breastfeeding Support Scale, which measures informational support, appraisal, practical help, and response to emotional needs for breastfeeding provided by a wide range of people, including peers, family, and professionals. Breastfeeding self-evaluation was measured using the revised Japanese Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale, Short Version, five months postpartum. Multiple linear regression modeling showed that receiving more support three months postpartum was associated with a more positive self-evaluation of breastfeeding five months postpartum (Beta = 0.264, p = 0.001). Interpretation: Breastfeeding support might contribute to better self-evaluation of breastfeeding.,假设：产后的三个月内接受更多的母乳喂养支持，是否能够预测产后五个月母乳喂养的自我评价更为积极？测量与发现：产后的三个月内，母乳喂养支持通过母乳喂养支持量表进行测量，该量表评估了包括同龄人、家庭和专业人员在内的广泛人群提供的母乳喂养信息支持、评估、实际帮助和对情感需求响应。母乳喂养自我评价使用修订后的日本母亲母乳喂养评价量表（简版）在产后五个月进行测量。多重线性回归模型分析表明，产后三个月内接受更多支持与产后五个月母乳喂养的自我评价更为积极相关（Beta = 0.264，p = 0.001）。解释：母乳喂养支持可能有助于提升母乳喂养的自我评价。
