Abstract
In order of assess the results of introduction of the programs aimed at maintenance and support of the breast-feeding it is necessary to use uniform indicators, which guarantee consistency, reliability and comparability of the data. Aim : to perform complex medical and social assessment of the prevalence and duration of the breast-feeding by the example of the Chechen Republic (CR) and the Republic of Ingushetia (RI). Patients and methods : mothers of children aged 12–36 months old were interviewed (n =2200). Statistical analysis was performed with the means of the software «SPSS.17». Results : the mean duration of the breast-feeding in the CR was 9,5 ± 0,22 months among urban population and 10,8 ± 0,29 months among rural population (p 0,05). Up till the age of 6 months 17,6% of urban infants and 36,8% of rural infants of the CR (p 0,05) received exclusive breast-feeding. It was established, that duration of the breast-feeding was influenced by the mothers' attitude to the issue or the dominant mothers’ ideology, as well as by the duration of the only breast-feeding itself. Besides, prolongation of the breast-feeding period is contributed by introduction of the modern medico-organizational measures aimed at support and maintenance of the breast-feeding. Conclusions : complex medical and social research allowed to assess prevalence and duration of the breast-feeding in the CR and the RI, in accordance to modern recommendations of the WHO experts. The main social and medico-organizational factors and predictors of the breast-feeding long duration and the exclusive breast-feeding were revealed.

Цель исследования: провести комплексную медико-социальную оценку распространенности и длительности грудного вскармливания на примере Чеченской Республики (ЧР) и Республики Ингушетия (РИ). Выявлены социальные и медико-организационные факторы, предикторы длительности грудного и исключительно грудного вскармливания. Aim: to perform complex medical and social assessment of the prevalence and duration of the breast-feeding by the example of the Chechen Republic (CR) and the Republic of Ingushetia (RI). Up till the age of 6 months 17,6% of urban infants and 36,8% of rural infants of the CR (p < 0,001) and 19,1% of urban and 19,7% of rural infants in the RI (p > 0,05) received exclusive breastfeeding It was established, that duration of the breast-feeding was influenced by the mothers' attitude to the issue or the dominant mothers’ ideology, as well as by the duration of the only breast-feeding itself.
