  • Objective: Human milk bank is known as best alternative option for sick infants. However, only two human milk banks (HMBs) are working in Korea. In the present study, we evaluated the awareness on the HMB in female health care provider to find out the issues that would help facilitating HMB establishment in Korea. Methods: The survey questionnaire was developed by a team composed with neonatologists, obstetricians, nurses, nutritionists, and health care specialists. The survey was performed for female health care workers in Soon Chun Hyang Cheonan Hospital between March and June in 2016. Eighty-eight of 110 questionnaires were collected and the results were analyzed. Results: Most of subjects were found to have correct knowledge on the breast milk feeding. However, only 49% of subjects had awareness of the presence of HMB. Unfortunately, less than half of them could get information about HMB by official way including mass media. In addition, 76% of subjects were found not to want to use HMB. Most important reason was found as a concern on the safety of donor milk including life style of donors, infection controls, and possible nutritional loss of banked milk. Conclusion: The purpose and function of HMB was not widely educated and it seems to be one of most important reasons why women have negative concept about HMB in Korea. Thus, further study is warranted with more numbers of subjects after active public education about the HMB.

  • 서 론 : 모유은행이란 모집한 기증자들로부터 모유를 수집하고, 처리하고, 부적절한 것은 폐기하며, 저장하는 일을 하고, 모유를 필요로 하는 사람들에게 모유를 제공하는 일을 한다. 전국규모의 모유은행을 운영하기 시작하여 2년의 경험에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 방 법 : 2007년 8월부터 2009년 8월까지 2년 동안, 동서신의학병원 모유은행의 기증자 분석, 기증량, 가공량, 수혜자 분석, 수혜량 등을 조사하였다. 결 과 : 총 기증자는 신규자 131명, 지속 기증자 39명이었고, 기증 횟수는 신규자가 341회, 지속 기증자가 127회 이었으며, 1달 평균 기증 횟수는 신규자 2.6회, 지속 기증자 3.3회이었다. 기증자의 지역분포는 서울 경기 지역이 79% 이었고, 연령은 20대 37%, 30대 60%, 기증자의 직업은 주부 60%, 회사원 35%, 기증자의 기증 동기는 인터넷 66%, TV 방송 매체가 14%, 분만 후 기증 개시 시기는 3개월 이내: 57%, 4-6개월이 29%이었다. 총 수집 2,736 L, 가공양은 1,979 L이었다. 누적 수혜자는 미숙아 신생아를 포함한 영아가 160명, 성인이 21명이었고 수혜 횟수는 영아가 337회, 성인이 41회 이었다. 총 수혜량은 영아에서 1,663 L, 성인이 179 L 이었다. 수혜자의 특징은 지역적으로 서울 경기가 82%, 수혜자의 연령에서 영아인 경우 3개월 미만이 50%, 4-6개월이 30% 이었고, 성인에서는 20-39세 40%, 60세 이상이 40%, 이었다. 수혜 이유로 아동 측에서는 환경여건, 영아질환, 아토피, 모유수유 거부 등이 있었고, 산모 측의 이유로는 모성질환, 모유량 감소 등이 있었다. 성인의 경우 전부 악성 종양에 의한 음식섭취 곤란에서 모유수유를 원하는 경우이었다. 동 병원의 NICU에서 필요한 환아 자신의 엄마 모유를 공급하는데 본 모유은행이 역할을 하였다. 결 론 : 타인의 남는 모유를 위생학적으로 안전하고, 의학적으로도 검정된 방법으로 수집, 가공, 보관하여 모유수유가 필요한 미숙아, 신생아, 영아와 일부 모유를 필요로 하는 성인에서 제공하는 모유은행의 역할을 인식할 수 있었으며, 전국적으로 규모를 확대하는 국가지원의 제도적 뒷받침이 필요하다고 사료된다.

  • Objective: We evaluated the Korean mothers' level of awareness of human milk bank (HMB) in order to find out the issues in establishing HMB in Korea. These mothers had infants younger than 18 months old to find out the issues that would help establishment of HMB in Korea. Methods: The survey questionnaire was developed by a team composed by nurses, neonatologists, obstetricians, nutritionists, health care specialists and faculty members. The internet survey was performed by sending emails to mothers who are registered to M family members and have children younger than 18 months. In total, 864 questionnaire were gathered from 114,469 answers and the results were analyzed. Results: Fifty two point eight percent of the respondents had awareness of HMB. 79.4% of subjects agreed with the necessity of HMB. On the basis of multivariate logistic regression analysis, we found that the numbers of children, awareness of HMB, the concern on the HMB in Korea, and the expected problems in establishing HMB in Korea were significant factors when evaluating the necessity of HMB in Korea. The common factors associated with positive thinking of potential users, donors and recipients were the awareness of HMB, and the experience of feeding own breast milk to other's babies. Conclusion: More than half of Korean women were found to agree with the necessity of HMB in Korea, even though they had concern on infection controls and management of HMB and the purpose and function of HMB was not widely educated. The establishment of HMB in Korea would be effective with public education and considering their demands.
