The proxy determinant of complementary feeding of the breastfed child delivery in less than 6 months old infant in the fishing community of Buton tribe

Abstract

Objective

This research aimed to describe the proxy determinant of complementary feeding of breastfed child delivery in less than six months old baby in the fishing Community of Buton tribe.

Method

The research was observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. The Data collected includes the knowledge, culture, role of health workers, family roles, and complementary feeding of the breastfed child delivery. All data was primary data, the data of the research variables are collected using questionnaires. The number of samples was 49 respondents to the fishing Community of Buton tribe. The data was analyzed by percentages and using the exact fisher to find relationships between variables then continued with multivariate testing (predictive logistic regression).

Results

All of the research variables are related based on the exact test Fisher which shows knowledge (P = 0.002), culture (P = 0.001), attendant roles (P = 0.043) and family roles (P = 0.045). The multivariate test results (predictive logistic regression) indicate that the culture is most related to the feeding of Complementary Feeding of the breastfed child, (OR = 22.2).

Conclusion

Proxy determinant of Complementary Feeding of the breastfed child delivery is culture.
