The ten-steps of Baby-Friendly Hospital can effectively raise the breastfeeding rate of puerperal and the key of its popularization lies on medical professionals who play an important role in practicing the popularization of breastfeeding education and providing health care. Through the viewpoints of medical professionals on the level of requirements on the breastfeeding measure resources, this research not only can conduct in-depth investigation on the role, function and difficulties of driving the baby-friendly policy by medical professionals, it can also be served as an important reference for enhancing the preparation for baby-friendly authentication in the future, policy development and medical care quality. This research makes use of Q method to explore the viewpoints of thirty medical professionals of a certain hospital center in north Taiwan on the level of requirements on baby-friendly hospital measure resources. Through the course of Q array, these medical professionals conduct subjective sorting on the level of requirements on the baby-friendly measure resources. Findings from this research show that the interviewees can be divided into four different viewpoint categories, (I) practical operation requirement type, (II) educational training requirement type, (III) continual support requirement type and (IV) skill guidance requirement type. From various findings in this research, one can clearly understand what are the resources in shortage when medical professionals are pushing the authentication standard forward and the differences and similarities between the above various types. If hospital can consider the types of viewpoints of medical professionals to adjust the work allocation of the authentication operation, the operation method and the integration between unit and unit, then more appropriate arrangement can be obtained on the mobilization of resources to enhance the propagation of the baby-friendly hospital measures.
