Islam encourages every mother to breastfeed; however, for working mothers, maintaining breastfeeding can be challenging. This study aimed to develop and test a causal model to predict breastfeeding duration in this population. A cross-sectional, predictive study was conducted to test the proposed causal model predicting breastfeeding duration among working Muslim mothers in Semarang City, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Two hundred and forty Muslim mothers participated in the study and self-reported questionnaires were used. Respondents were recruited by using multisite random sampling. Nine questionnaires were used to collect data and a model test using a path analysis was performed to examine the hypothesized relationships. The study results were as follows: 1) initially, the hypothesized model did not fit the data, then the model was modified based on the statistical and theoretical considerations until it could explain the data well, 2) the intention to exclusively breastfeed affected breastfeeding initiation, 3) breastfeeding knowledge and attitude toward breastfeeding affected intention to exclusively breastfeed, 4) breastfeeding knowledge, family support, workplace support, attitude toward breastfeeding, sufficient milk supply, and intention to exclusively breastfeed affected breastfeeding duration, 5) breastfeeding problems affected breastfeeding duration, 6) intention to exclusively breastfeed mediated breastfeeding knowledge and attitude toward breastfeeding on breastfeeding duration and breastfeeding initiation, 7) breastfeeding initiation did not mediate breastfeeding knowledge, family support, and intention to exclusively breastfeed on breastfeeding duration. Health care providers should consider that breastfeeding knowledge, attitude toward breastfeeding, and intention to exclusively breastfeed have high predictive values of exclusive breastfeeding duration among working mothers.

Abstract BackgroundBreastfeeding is crucial to the preterm infants. Breast milk is not only food but also medicine. Few studies focused on the longitudinal association with exclusive breastfeeding duration of preterm infants separated from their mothers after discharge, especially in Shanghai. We aimed to examine the exclusive breastfeeding duration amongst first time mothers of preterm infants after discharge and their determinants.MethodsAnalyses were based on 500 preterm infants separated from their mothers in a territory maternity and infant special hospital in Shanghai from September 2018 to September 2019.The self administered questionnaire, breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, breastfeeding self-efficacy short form scale, Edinburgh postpartum depression scale and breastfeeding family support scale were used for the investigation, and the breastfeeding rate of premature infants was followed up 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge. The changing trend of breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding self-efficacy, postpartum depression and family support were measured by ANOVA in different stages.The Kaplan Meier survival curve and Cox regression model were used to analyze the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding duration of premature infants after discharge. ResultsThrough the Cox regression model, we found that the maternal planned pregnancy (RR=0.68, 95%CI=0.53~0.87), delivering breast milk during hospitalization (RR=0.80, 95%CI=1.41~2.29),NICU feeding mode (RR=1.22, 95%CI=0.13~0.38) during hospitalization and family support (RR=0.56,95%CI=1.00~2.43) were the independent factors influencing the exclusive breastfeeding duration after discharge. ConclusionsThe exclusive breastfeeding duration of premature infants was affected by many factors, so we should focus on three levels of individual, family and society, and give targeted intervention measures to increase exclusive breastfeeding rate and prolong exclusive breastfeeding duration.Trial registration: Not applicable

Breast milk is the ideal food for human infants, with benefits to mothers and babies. However, working mothers are more likely to choose not to breastfeed or to interrupt breastfeeding prematurely. This study assessed breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes among working mothers in South Jordan. Four hundred cross-sectional, self-administered Arabic surveys were distributed to working mothers at their workplaces. In addition to measuring mothers’ knowledge of and attitudes toward breastfeeding, barriers that prevented continuing breastfeeding beyond 6 months were also explored. Three hundred forty-four (80%) completed questionnaires were returned. The breastfeeding initiation rate was 72.4%, but only 20.9% were exclusively breastfeeding by 6 months. The participants showed satisfactory knowledge about breastfeeding and had positive attitudes toward breastfeeding. Most of the women who initiated breastfeeding reported ending breastfeeding prematurely. Approximately 30% of the mothers attributed premature cessation of breastfeeding to work. The results of this study could be useful for health care providers and policy makers when planning effective breastfeeding promotion programs and creating breastfeeding-friendly workplaces.

This paper is heavily drafted from a research conducted at Segara Anakan Lagoon in 2000. The lagoon is located on the south of Central Java coast and immediately to the northwest of Cilacap District, Central Java Province, and it is about 350 km southeast of Jakarta. The lagoon and its surroundings are marked by several distinctive features, including an extensive mangrove system, very rapid sedimentation, leading to progradation of the shoreline, strong tidal influence and the presence of many fish, crab and shrimp varieties. The main objective of the paper is to prepare the Segara Anakan environs so as to ensure that economically and socially valuable ecosystems are protected for the benefit of current and future generations. The method applied in the study was descriptive analysis of the collected secondary data to support the results of the study. The results of the study showed that commercial cutting and degradation of the mangroves must be controlled through related and concerned agencies, and there was a need to prepare more sustainable basis for conserving and developing the lagoon’s resources in the future. On the basis of the study results, formulated recommendation is as the following: the mangrove forest need to be protected by preparing forest management guidance and instructions that can easily be accessed and operated by Kampung Laut people. Besides, the Kampung Laut people should have defined areas to be used for various purposes such as agricultural activities, ponds and regeneration areas. The mangrove forest in the surrounding Segara Anakan lagoon must be a protected zone, and the best option is likely by applying a community-based management. This emphasized local, village level, and control of resources utilization. Key words: environment, degradation, lagoon, management, mangrove forest, Segara Anakan, Cilacap District and Central Java Province.

This study analyses collaborative governance in sustainable ecotourism development in Magelang Regency, Central Java province. Strengthening the collaboration of the three actors is needed in developing ecotourism because it comprehensively regulates natural destinations responsible for the sustainability of natural life, economic activity, and community welfare simultaneously. To explain further the fundamental phenomena that occur in sustainable development. The goal is to create a new environmental friendly concept while also improving people's welfare, the economy, and peaceful social activities. Data were collected from in-depth interviews and observations. Interviews were conducted with 8 local government staffs, 22 ecotourism managers, and 42 communities around the destination. Then an analysis was carried out with Nvivo12+ to see the collaboration of sustainable Ecotourism governance in Magelang Regency. Three variables become benchmarks in the study: planning, implementation, and utilization. Each was measured by using six indicators. The study results showed significant local communities and businesses/private involvement in managing and developing ecotourism. Meanwhile, the local government actors need to strengthen their involvement and response in ecotourism development. So far, the response has been relatively slow and waiting for the independent development of destinations that the community has carried out. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to strengthen collaboration to ensure effective management of natural resources in ecotourism, which can be achieved through the support and cooperation of local government agencies, businesses/private, and the communities.

Methods A convenience sample of childless, adult, female students (n = 1039), 18 to 22 years old, were recruited to complete a 58-item web-based survey during the 2019–2020 school year. The questionnaire items assessed breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, future breastfeeding intention, and general demographics. Results The mean breastfeeding knowledge and attitude scores were 13.16 (±2.48) and 64.19 (±7.69) respectively, both indications of relatively high breastfeeding knowledge and positive attitudes towards breastfeeding. Over 90% of the sample had intentions to breastfeed potential future children. Higher breastfeeding knowledge and more positive attitudes were found among those with higher intentions to breastfeed their babies in the future. Conclusions This sample of adult, college-age, childless females has the potential to give birth and breastfeed infants in the future. Similar populations may be responsible for changes in breastfeeding rates in the US. Nutrition education and behavioral health professionals who work with college-age individuals may want to focus pre-conception educational initiatives on increasing and maintaining breastfeeding knowledge and positive breastfeeding attitudes while encouraging breastfeeding initiation in the future.
