Construction of a Prediction Model for Failure of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Mothers Due to Mother-Child Separation
Objective To construct a nomograph model for predicting the risk of failure of exclusive breastfeeding in mothers due to mother-child separation.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 312 pairs of clinical data of hospitalized infants with their mothers admitted to a tertiary A hospital in Gan-zhou from February 2020 to June 2022.These pair of infants and their mothers were divided into modeling group(n=208)and verification group(n=104).The modeling group was divided into success group(n=86)and failure group(n=122)according to the situation of exclusive breastfeeding.The risk factors of ex-clusive breastfeeding failure were explored,and the risk prediction nomograph model was drawn and its ef-fectiveness was verified.Results The failure rate of exclusive breast-feeding was 58.01%.The separation time between mother and infant,lack of understanding of core knowledge of breastfeeding,inverted nip-ples,perinatal complications,decreased appetite,breast stimulation following medical advice,and mastitis were all influencing factors for the failure of pure breastfeeding(all P<0.05).Conclusions The construc-ted model has a good predictive effect and can effectively predict the risk factors of pure breastfeeding fail-ure due to mother-child separation,and is worth promoting and applying.
