Abstract
Background:Adolescents are categorized as a high-risk group. They are emotionally immature, self-doubting, stressed, and afraid of raising children. Investigating factors related to breastfeeding in adolescent mothers is helpful in planning and developing a guide to promote breastfeeding for up to 6 months.
Objectives: The objective was to investigate problems, difficulties, and requirements related to breastfeeding of adolescent mothers in the department of postpartum care at Phrapokklao Hospital, Chanthaburi Province.
Methods: This study was a component of research and development that used qualitative research methods. The key informants selected through purposive sampling were fifteen postpartum adolescent mothers under the age of twenty in the department of postpartum care. The data were collected using in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis.
Results: Five main themes emerged, including: 1) belief, 2) social support, 3) environment, 4) perceived benefit, and 5) perceived barrier.
Conclusions: This study was conducted as a first-phase to collect baseline data for the subsequent-phase and to serve as a model for the development of a program to encourage adolescent mothers to successfully breastfeed.
