影響全國職場哺（集）乳室設置之相關因素探討

Factors Influencing the Establishment of Breastfeeding Room in Workplaces

背景及目的：旨在探討影響全國職場哺（集）乳室設置之相關因素。方法：採橫斷性調查法，以分層抽樣郵寄732家職場之結構式問卷，最後取得主管填答之有效問卷329份。結果：（一）職場主管的教育程度、員工人數、營運概況、有無設置健康中心等變項於有無設置哺（集）乳室有顯著差異；（二）主管對是否知道職場母乳哺育政策宣導、知識及對（集）乳室設置態度等變項，於有無設置哺（集）乳室有顯著差異；（三）未設置哺（集）乳室原因：使用性或需求性不高（64.2%），其次為場地不夠或挪不出空間（38.0%）、設置地點選擇不容易（29.2%）等；（四）影響哺（集）乳室設置之關鍵因素包括：員工數、有無設置健康中心及職場設置哺（集）乳室態度。結論：政府需推廣職場婦女哺餵母乳對職場的實質回饋，以及進行相關研究以營造職場哺乳親善環境；發展單一的哺乳親善職場認證，以增加台灣哺（集）乳室設置率。
