Adaptación de la Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale en población mexicanaResumen INTRODUCCIÓN: la leche materna es el alimento ideal del neonato. Sin embargo, la frecuencia de la lactancia materna en México ha declinado en la última década hasta 14.4%. Una manera de enfrentar este problema es identificar las actitudes maternas hacia la lactancia, ya que es un factor modificable. La Escala de Actitudes hacia la Alimentación Infantil de Iowa (IIFAS) es utilizada para lograr este objetivo, aunque no se ha validado en México.OBJETIVO: adaptar la escala de actitudes hacia la alimentación infantil en México. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS:estudio transversal con traducción inversa y adaptación cultural, así como consenso entre expertos para la redacción y equivalencia conceptual de los ítems de la escala IIFAS al español, para determinar su validez y fiabilidad.RESULTADOS: la escala adaptada se aplicó a 385 mujeres grávidas, el 16.3% mostró actitud positiva hacia la lactancia materna. Se determinó la fiabilidad del Instrumento (α de Cronbach 0.65), así como la validez de constructo con Análisis Factorial Exploratorio.CONCLUSIONES: la escala de actitudes hacia la alimentación infantil IIFAS versión español (México) puede considerarse válida y confiable para su uso en nuestro medio.PALABRAS CLAVE: lactancia materna, actitud, validez y confiabilidad. Abstract INTRODUCTION:Breast milk is the ideal food for the infant. However, in Mexico the frequency of breastfeeding has declined in the last decade, to 14.4%. One way to address this problem is to identify maternal attitudes towards breastfeeding, since it is a modifiable factor. The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) is used to achieve this goal, but has not been validated in Mexico. Acta Pediátrica de México 1502016 mayo;37(3) OBJECTIVE: To adapt scale of attitudes towards infant feeding in Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHOD:A transversal study with reverse translation and cultural adaptation and consensus among experts for redaction and conceptual equivalence of items of the scale IIFAS to Spanish, to determine their validity and reliability. RESULTS:The adapted scale was applied to 385 pregnant women, with only 16.3% showed positive attitude to breastfeeding. Instrument reliability (Cronbach α 0.65) and construct validity with exploratory factor analysis was determined.CONCLUSIONS: the scale of attitudes towards infant feeding IIFAS Spanish Mexican version can be considered valid and reliable for use in our environment.
