Abstract : The aim of the study is to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of empowering breastfeeding women and the association with the duration of breastfeeding. The study sample was 237 women in the Oued- Eddahab Region of Morocco. The results show that 11% breastfed for less than 3 months, 8.7% breastfed for from 3 to 6 months, and more than half (57.4) breastfed for up to one year, while a minority (11%) breastfed for more than one year. The average age of the women surveyed was 28±5.7. With regard to the association between the duration of breastfeeding and the degree of empowerment of the women surveyed. The treatment of the ordinal qualitative variables was carried out under the multiple-choice response nail and by the Anova test, which calculated the degree of association, by items. The first dimension records (Item1 : p<0.003, p<0.699, p<0.011, p<0.001), as for the second dimension (Item1p<0.000, Item2<0.000, Item3<0.000). For the third dimension, only the association with the second item was significant (p<0.000).as for the last dimension, only the milk insufficiency seems to be a determining factor in maintaining breastfeeding. Regarding the comorbidity effect of gestational diabetes and Covid-19, the study identified 12 women with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, of whom 9 (3.9%) had laboratory/radiology confirmation and one had more than 3 symptoms without laboratory confirmation. Women with a SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis had high rates of gestational diabetes (RR : 1.46; 95% CI, 0.74-0.95).
