“…Employment of mothers in the postpartum period is a well‐known factor in the early cessation of breast‐feeding 19 , 20 . The effects of mother education level on the duration of breast‐feeding have been inconsistently reported 17 , 18 , 21 , 22 . In the present study, mothers with a relatively high level education or full‐time employment were more likely to have a shorter duration of exclusive breast‐feeding than mothers with a lower education level or housewives.…”

“…However, the current study adds ten constraints, influencing participation in leisure activities that relate to breastfeeding. Previous literature related to women [28,35,44] or breastfeeding [14,19,20], and previous qualitative research identify these impediments. In the questionnaire, 37 questions use a 5-point Likert-type scale.…”

“…Although several studies in the nursing area [17] investigated the factors affecting the continuity of breastfeeding, including family and social support [18], employment status [19,20], types of employment [17], sleep deprivation [21,22], and fatigue [23,24], none of these studies explored the relationship between breastfeeding and women’s leisure.…”

BackgroundParticipation in leisure activities strongly associates with health and well-being. Little research has explored the relationship between participation in leisure activities and constraints on breastfeeding mothers during leisure activities. The purposes of this study are: 1) to investigate constraints on breastfeeding mothers during leisure activities and participation in leisure activities; 2) to investigate the differences between preferences for leisure activities and actual participation by breastfeeding mothers; 3) to segment breastfeeding mothers with similar patterns, using a cluster analysis based on the delineated participation in leisure activities and leisure preferences; 4) to explore any differences between clusters of breastfeeding mothers with respect to socio-demographic characteristics, breastfeeding behaviours and leisure constraints.MethodsThis study has a cross-sectional design using an online survey conducted among mothers having breastfeeding experiences of more than four months. The questionnaire includes demographic variables, breastfeeding behaviours, preferences for leisure activities participation, and constraints on leisure activities. Collection of data occurred between March and July 2011, producing 415 valid responses for analysis.ResultsFor breastfeeding mothers, this study identifies constraints on breastfeeding related to leisure activities in addition to the three traditional factors for constraints in the model. This study demonstrates that reports of constraints related to children, family, and nursing environments are the most frequent. Breastfeeding mothers in Taiwan participate regularly in family activities or activities related to their children. Cluster analysis classified breastfeeding mothers into Action and Contemplation groups, and found that mothers within the latter group participate less in leisure activities and experienced more constraints related to breastfeeding.ConclusionsImplications provide a developmental design for public health policies for nursing-friendly environments to increase opportunities for breastfeeding mothers to engage in leisure activities and suggest various types of activities to increase participation of that population.
