“…A confirmatory factor analysis was performed for the behavior scale (Average variance extracted = 0.52; 0.52; 0.53, Average Shared Variance = 0.28, Maximum Shared Variance = 0.25, the square root of Average variance extracted latent constructs is greater than the correlation between any pair of latent constructs, HTMT = 0.55) and the attitude scale (Average variance extracted = 0.50; 0.52, Average Shared Variance = 0.18, Maximum Shared Variance = 0.18, the square root of Average variance extracted latent constructs is greater than the correlation between any pair of latent constructs, HTMT = 0.63). The questionnaire is available at the link listed in the references section of this paper [ 10 ]. The author of the questionnaire is willing to provide instructions for scoring the results of the questionnaire upon request, which should be sent to her e-mail address.…”

“…The questionnaire was posted on the websites of Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek and Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences. Healthcare professionals received information about the study and link to access the questionnaire from several sources: from the association “For a healthy and happy childhood”, direct contacts from colleagues who actively participate in breastfeeding promotional activities, through the Croatian Breastfeeding Support Association with the assistance of lecturers from Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek, Bjelovar University, and through UNICEF’s “Specialist Pediatric Clinics-Friends of Breastfeeding” [ 11 ]. All healthcare workers could participate in the research, regardless of their age, place of residence, workplace, professional qualification, etc.…”

“…Mjerni instrument u ovom istraživanju je bio validirani upitnik za ispitivanje ponašanja, stavova i znanja zdravstvenih djelatnika (BBAKQ prof.) koji je već korišten u sličnim istraživanjima (19). Upitnik se sastoji od ljestvica ponašanja, stavova i znanja zdravstvenih djelatnika o dojenju, čestice ljestvica su prikazane u Tablici 2., 3. i 4.…”

“…Rezultati po pojedinim česticama upitnika prikazani su frekvencijama i postotcima. Za usporedbu rezultata s rezultatima komparativnog istraživanja (19) korišten je hi kvadrat test, a svrha usporedbe je bila utvrditi postojanost rezultata, tj. čestica upitnika na kojima zdravstveni djelatnici postižu najlošiji rezultat.…”
