• 本研究旨在探討職業婦女母乳哺餵行為及相關因素，採研究者自編「職業婦女哺餵母乳行為及其相關因素調查問卷」作為研究工具，並利用立意抽樣方式進行問卷調查，回收有效問卷共計325份。問卷設計依據研究架構，共分三大部分，第一部分為「哺餵母乳行為認知量表」，第二部分為「哺餵母乳社會支持量表」，第三部分為「個人背景變項」。

研究發現：職業婦女在哺餵母乳行為認知「個人價值觀」向度中，大致認同「嬰兒可以經由母乳哺育得到最好的營養」；然而在社會支持「職場環境」向度中，影響職業婦女選擇母乳哺育重要因素則在於「我能感受工作職場支持母乳哺育政策」，職業婦女哺乳與否，除自身價值觀外，職場環境親善與否，亦影響職業婦女的選擇；研究亦發現：哺餵母乳行為認知與社會支持兩者之間存在正相關，並達顯著水準。

若控制個人變項後，以社會支持各構面為預測變項，整體哺餵母乳行為認知為效標變項，進行逐步迴歸分析，發現社會支持之「社會環境支持」、「醫護人員支持」、「職場環境支持」、「家庭支持」和「政府政策支持」等構面，對整體哺餵母乳行為認知均具有預測力，其中以「社會環境支持」最高。。

• The purpose of this study is to investigate career women's breastfeeding behavior and related factors. I gathered data by distributing a questionnaire titled “Career women breastfeeding behavior” to a sample of 325 women. The questionnaire is divided into three parts: 1) Breastfeeding behavior and cognition, 2) Social support for breastfeeding, and 3) Individual Socio-demographic Background Variables.

This study found that career women breastfeed based on “personal values orientation,” namely that they identify breastfeeding as “the best method to provide nutrition for the baby.” However, in the “workplace environment dimension,” career women state that “workplace policy is supportive of breastfeeding” in determining their decision to breastfeed. The study also found that there is a statistically significant and positive relationship between behavior cognition and social support with career women’s breastfeeding behavior.

Controlling for individual variables, and using various dimensions of social support as a predictor for overall breastfeeding behavior, a stepwise regression analysis found that amongst social support in “social environment,” “health care,” “workplace environment,” “family support” and “government supportive policy,” all had predictive power on breastfeeding behavior and cognition, with “social environment support” with the highest predictive power.
