The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) is a widely used tool to assess attitudes towards infant feeding. Attitudes towards breastfeeding are one of the main influencing factors of feeding choice and breastfeeding duration. Adaptation of the IIFAS to the Hungarian context provides an opportunity for cross-cultural comparisons and helps to target breastfeeding support interventions. The growing number of shortened scales in various fields of research, demonstrates the necessity to adapt to a changing context of data collection to avoid fatigue and dropout among respondents. However, international comparisons are difficult due to the lack of a consensual shortened form of the scale. The aim of our study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the IIFAS (IIFAS-H) and propose an 8-item short version that has appropriate construct validity. The original IIFAS was translated into Hungarian and then translated back to English. A cross-sectional study based on an internet survey in 2019 was conducted among 553 mothers whose most recent child’s age was between 6 and 36 months. Psychometric properties of the Hungarian IIFAS were determined and compared with international results. In order to obtain a shorter version of the Hungarian scale, we preferably kept those items that are common with other international abbreviated IIFAS versions and deleted items with a corrected item-total correlation or factor loading of less than 0.3, where factor loadings came from a principal component analysis forcing the extraction of one principal component (factor). The 17-item IIFAS-H showed good psychometric properties with a Cronbach’s alpha of0.73. Further analyses proved that the examined three shortened versions of the IIFAS consisting of 11, 9, and 8 items also showed good properties (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.79, 0.79, 0.76, respectively). The Hungarian version of the original 17-item long IIFAS proved to be a good measurement tool with good psychometric properties. Based on our analyses, we suggest the use of the 8-item short version (IIFAS-H8) of the scale.

爱荷华州婴儿喂养态度量表原始和简短匈牙利版本的心理测量特性

爱荷华州婴儿喂养态度量表 (IIFAS) 是一种广泛使用的工具,用于评估对婴儿喂养的态度。对母乳喂养的态度是喂养选择和母乳喂养持续时间的主要影响因素之一。使 IIFAS 适应匈牙利环境为跨文化比较提供了机会,并有助于有针对性地进行母乳喂养支持干预。各个研究领域中越来越多的缩短量表表明有必要适应不断变化的数据收集环境,以避免受访者感到疲劳和辍学。然而,由于缺乏一致同意的缩略形式,国际比较很困难。我们研究的目的是检查匈牙利版 IIFAS (IIFAS-H) 的心理测量特性,并提出一个具有适当结构效度的 8 项简短版本。最初的 IIFAS 被翻译成匈牙利语,然后又被翻译回英语。一项基于 2019 年互联网调查的横断面研究在 553 名最近孩子年龄在 6 至 36 个月之间的母亲中进行。匈牙利 IIFAS 的心理测量特性被确定并与国际结果进行比较。为了获得较短版本的匈牙利量表,我们最好保留那些与其他国际缩略版 IIFAS 共同的项目,并删除了修正项目-总相关或因子载荷小于 0.3 的项目,其中因子载荷来自于强制提取一个主成分(因子)的主成分分析。17 项 IIFAS-H 显示出良好的心理测量特性,其 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.73。进一步的分析证明,由 11、9 和 8 个项目组成的 IIFAS 的三个缩短版本也显示出良好的特性(Cronbach's alpha 分别为 0.79、0.79、0.76)。最初的 17 项长 IIFAS 的匈牙利版本被证明是一个很好的测量工具,具有良好的心理测量特性。根据我们的分析,我们建议使用该量表的 8 项简短版本 (IIFAS-H8)。进一步的分析证明,由 11、9 和 8 个项目组成的 IIFAS 的三个缩短版本也显示出良好的特性(Cronbach's alpha 分别为 0.79、0.79、0.76)。最初的 17 项长 IIFAS 的匈牙利版本被证明是一个很好的测量工具,具有良好的心理测量特性。根据我们的分析,我们建议使用该量表的 8 项简短版本 (IIFAS-H8)。进一步的分析证明,由 11、9 和 8 个项目组成的 IIFAS 的三个缩短版本也显示出良好的特性(Cronbach's alpha 分别为 0.79、0.79、0.76)。最初的 17 项长 IIFAS 的匈牙利版本被证明是一个很好的测量工具,具有良好的心理测量特性。根据我们的分析,我们建议使用该量表的 8 项简短版本 (IIFAS-H8)。
