Article Synopsis
- Breastfeeding intention is a key predictor of breastfeeding practices, and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) helps to understand this relationship by focusing on behavioral intention and its influences.
- A study involving 325 pregnant women examined both original TPB constructs and additional factors like breastfeeding self-identity and income to see how they affect breastfeeding intention.
- Results indicated that breastfeeding attitudes, perceived control, and subjective norms significantly impacted intentions, with breastfeeding self-identity and income also contributing importantly to the model's predictions.
