description The aim of this research work is to associate maternal religiosity with the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and the age of definitive weaning of children under three years of Tumaco, Colombia. The study uses a quantitative approach, cross-sectional, non-experimental design, and descriptive-correlational type. Information was collected from 338 mothers with children under three years of age between December 2019 and March 2020. All met the inclusion criteria and signed the informed consent. The variables were measured with a 17-question questionnaire, validated (V. Aiken = 0,88, Cronbach's alpha = 0,710). After applying Spearman's Rho, a positive and significant association (p <0,05) was found between maternal religiosity and duration of exclusive breastfeeding (rho = 0,128), maternal religiosity and definitive weaning age (Rho = 0,158). In conclusion, the associations found between maternal religiosity and breastfeeding practices reflect that the religious belief system influences mothers with children under three years of age who attend a first level health facility. These results indicate that there is a need to continue with this type of studies, to extend the promotion of breastfeeding in religious spaces, strengthening the capacities of different religious groups in breastfeeding issues in order to incorporate and internalize these issues in the different congregations.

El objetivo de este trabajo es asociar la religiosidad materna con la duración de la lactancia materna exclusiva y la edad del destete definitivo de niños menores de tres años de Tumaco, Colombia. El enfoque es cuantitativo, de corte transversal, diseño no experimental, y tipo descriptivo-correlacional. Se recopilo información de 338 madres con niños menores de tres años entre diciembre 2019 y marzo de 2020. todas cumplían los criterios de inclusión y firmaron el consentimiento informado. Las variables se midieron con un cuestionario de 17 preguntas, validado (V. Aiken = 0,88, alfa de Cronbach=0,710). Luego de aplicar Rho de Spearman se encontró una asociación positiva y significativa (p<0,05) entre la religiosidad materna y duración de la lactancia materna exclusiva (rho= 0,128), religiosidad materna y la edad de destete definitivo(Rho=0,158). En conclusión, las asociaciones encontradas entre la religiosidad materna y las prácticas de lactancia materna reflejan que el sistema de creencias religiosas influye en madres con niños menores de tres años que asisten a un establecimiento de salud de primer nivel.  Estos resultados indican que hay necesidad de continuar con este tipo de estudios, para extender la promoción de la lactancia materna en los espacios religiosos, fortaleciendo las capacidades de los distintos grupos religiosos en temas de lactancia con el fin de incorporar e interiorizar estos temas en las distintas congregaciones.  Universidad Peruana Unión 2022-04-03 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf https://revistas.upeu.edu.pe/r-Muro-investigaion/article/view/1692 10.17162/rmi.v7i1.1692 Revista Muro de la Investigación; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2022): Revista Muro de la Investigación 2523-2886 2521-2079 10.17162/rmi.v7i1 spa https://revistas.upeu.edu.pe/r-Muro-investigaion/article/view/1692/1954 Derechos de autor 2022 Livia María Piñerez Santiz, Estelita Marlene Pareja Joaquín
