520 3 _aBERNARDO PRINCE ARVIN I., CARINGAL MAXIMO 0. and DIMALALUAN ARLENE B., Special Problem. Contributing Factors Affecting Breastfeeding Practices of Working Mothers in Indang, Cavite. Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April, 2007. Adviser: Dr. Yolanda A. Ilagan. The study was conducted to determine the contributing factors that affect the breastfeeding practices of working mothers. A total of 90 working mothers (respondents) were interviewed using a prepared questionnaire as the main data gathering tool. Frequency, mean, and ranks were used to analyze the data gathered. The attitudes of respondents toward breastfeeding were determined and were given weights as strongly disagree- 1, disagree- 2, not sure- 3, agree- 4, and strongly disagree- 5 using the Likert Scale Majority of the working mothers (36.8%) belonged to the age bracket of 27 to 31. Thirty-seven (37.5%) were college graduates. Most of the respondents (48.15%) were business women and work in Indang. Among the reasons for breastfeeding, majority of the working mothers reported that "it is the best the way to nourish their children". For those not breastfeeding the reasons cited by majority (72.84%) were due to physiological problems like inability to produce milk and pain when breastfeeding. For breastfeeding at work, the most common reason was that "it is allowed in their work place". Age was negatively correlated with work (r= -.236*), family (r= -.331 **), and physiologic factors (r= -.226*), while intrapersonal reasons (r= .246*) was positively correlated with the breastfeeding working mothers. These indicate that even if respondents get older, factors cited do not affect the feeding practices of working mothers. On the other hand, income was negatively correlated with the work factors (r= - .234*) for those practicing breastfeeding. This means that as the income of the mother increases, the influence of the work environment to the mother decreases in terms of breastfeeding her child Educational background was negatively correlated with awareness factor for breastfeeding (r=-.239*) and positively correlated for non-breastfeeding (r= .827*) working mothers. It indicates that well educated mothers and aware of breastfeeding will less likely to breastfeed her child. Nature of work was negatively correlated with the awareness factor (r--.671*) with the work environment of non-breastfeeding working mothers. This means to say that mothers in Indang, Cavite were more likely to breastfeed since most of them were businesswomen that manages their own time and work. Household size was negatively correlated with the work environment (r= -.227*) of breastfeeding working mothers. It signifies that work environment in relation to household size is influential enough to affect breastfeeding practice of the mother. The study also reveals that place of work has no significant correlation with the mother's breastfeeding practice.
