Background: Currently, the exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) rate among Chinese women is low and early breast milk substitutes and weaning are common. To safeguard positive maternal and infant health outcomes in China, the Chinese government has identified a goal of 50% EBR of infants during their first six months of life. Globally, health care professionals have exerted a remarkable impact on increasing breastfeeding initiation and duration rates. It is imperative to examine the current status of Chinese health care professionals' breastfeeding knowledge and breastfeeding attitudes for achieving the goal. Additionally, an individual's intention is an important predictor of practice and behavior, it is significant to identify the impact of the Chinese health care professionals' breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes on their intention to promote breastfeeding. To date, no research has been identified in China that addresses the relationships between knowledge about breastfeeding, attitudes towards breastfeeding, and intentions of breastfeeding promotion among Chinese health care professionals.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the current status of breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding attitude, and breastfeeding promotion intention, and to investigate the relationships between these three variables among Chinese healthcare professionals. The study also explored a mediation effect of breastfeeding attitudes on the relationship between breastfeeding knowledge and breastfeeding promotion intention. Methods: The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design. Methods of network sampling and consecutive sampling were used to collect data. Using a web-based survey tool Wenjuan Star, a survey including three self-reported questionnaires to measure breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding attitude, and breastfeeding promotion intention was created and distributed among Chinese health care professionals. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed to describe and analyze data. Simple regression, multiple regression, and path analysis were used to explore the relationships between breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding attitudes, and breastfeeding promotion intention, to discover the existence of mediation effect of breastfeeding attitudes between breastfeeding knowledge and breastfeeding promotion intention. Results: A total of 778 surveys were received and 654 valid surveys were retained. The valid response rate was 84.1% after trimming data. The mean score of the breastfeeding knowledge survey was 17.24 (SD=3.253, range 6-25), of breastfeeding attitudes 63.67 (SD=6.491, range 47-81), and of breastfeeding promotion intention 35.96 (SD=2.703, range 28-40). A wide range of sociodemographic variables had a significant effect on breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and promotion intention, including the highest diploma (Master degree or above) (p< 0.001), married status (p< 0.001), presence of children (p< 0.001), duration of breastfeeding (longer than one year) (p< 0.001), working in departments of obstetric, gynecology, and pediatrics (p< 0.001), occupation as nurses (p< 0.001), working in baby-friendly hospitals (p< 0.001), and the experience of breastfeeding education (p< 0.001). Furthermore, breastfeeding knowledge (b=.251, se=.030, t=8.418, p<.001) and breastfeeding attitudes (b=.160, se=.015, t=10.715, p=.000) had a significant effect on breastfeeding promotion intention. Approximately 34.7 % of the variance in breastfeeding promotion intention was explained by the predictors of breastfeeding knowledge and breastfeeding attitudes (R2=.347). Meanwhile, according to the model of the study, breastfeeding attitude has a partial mediation effect, or indirect effect between breastfeeding knowledge and breastfeeding promotion intention (B = .151, SE= .017, BCa CI [.1183- .1857].). Conclusion: Chinese health care professionals' breastfeeding knowledge has a better performance compared to previous domestic studies carried out by Chinese researchers. Breastfeeding attitudes among participants are at the neutral or less positive level in comparison to other worldwide studies. However, participants' intentions to promote breastfeeding are high and satisfactory. Increasing breastfeeding knowledge among health care professionals is productive and efficient in support breastfeeding. Health care professionals' intention to promote breastfeeding can be enhanced directly by breastfeeding knowledge. Moreover, their attitudes towards breastfeeding can also be increased by breastfeeding knowledge, which in turn affects breastfeeding attitudes and motivates their promotion intentions to promote breastfeeding.
