Maternal Disgust Sensitivity and Breastfeeding Outcomes in a Longitudinal Study

A prospective longitudinal study of 227 women assessed the effect of disgust sensitivity on breastfeeding. Participants completed the Disgust Scale-Revised (DS-R) and Three Domains of Disgust Scale (TDDS) during the third trimester and again postpartum, and provided breastfeeding information at hospital discharge and later. The dataset, authored by Jana Benešová and last updated in April 2026, includes results from ordinal regression analysis adjusted for maternal and infant factors.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between psychological traits (disgust sensitivity) and health behaviors (breastfeeding) based on longitudinal survey data.
• Analyzing changes in disgust sensitivity across the perinatal period based on repeated DS-R and TDDS measurements.
• Investigating the impact of covariates like maternal age, parity, and delivery mode on breastfeeding outcomes.

Strengths

• Longitudinal design with data collected at two time points (third trimester and postpartum).
• Analysis adjusted for multiple covariates including maternal age, parity, and delivery mode.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample of 227 women may limit the generalizability of findings.
