Abstract
Objetivou-se verificar a autoeficácia da puérpera em amamentar, antes e após a intervenção educativa. Optou-se por um estudo quantitativo, desenvolvido com 100 puérperas de uma maternidade pública de Fortaleza-CE. Antes e após aplicação do álbum seriado "Eu posso amamentar o meu filho", foram realizadas entrevistas utilizando dois formulários abordando dados de identificação da puérpera e a Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form. Constatou-se um aumento dos escores da escala após a utilização da intervenção educativa, sobretudo em puérperas com características específicas, já que se observou associação estatisticamente significante entre as seguintes variáveis: idade entre 20-29 anos; estado civil casado/união consensual; número de cinco a sete moradores na casa; puérperas que exerciam atividades remuneradas fora do lar e rendas familiares de dois a oito salários mínimos. Conclui-se que a tecnologia educativa implementada às puérperas foi eficaz no aumento da autoeficácia materna em amamentar, podendo resultar, consequentemente, no alcance de boas taxas de aleitamento materno.
Highlights
It can be observed that there was an increase in the average of the scores on the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale – Short Form (BSES-SF) after the educational intervention, with a statistically significant association between the score on the BSES-SF and the following sociodemographic variables: age between 20-29 years (p=0.010); married/consensual union marital status (p=0.006); presence of five to seven residents in the household (p=0.004); working outside the home (p=0.001), family income of two minimum wages (p=0.013) and family income of three to eight (p=0.022) minimum wages
It is important to highlight that multiparous mothers are twice as likely to practice exclusive breastfeeding compared to first-time mothers,[27] the present study found that the educational intervention showed a statistically significant relationship among both first-time mothers and among multiparous mothers
A large number of the variables studied in this research presented a statistically significant association, considering that after the educational intervention there was an increase in the self-efficacy scores on the BSES-SF
Summary
While recognizing the importance of developing health education interventions regarding breastfeeding during pregnancy in order to avoid an excess of information in the postpartum period, the majority of professional support and guidance must occur in the postpartum period. The mother and family are faced with huge changes in their routine, coupled with anxiety.[9] roomingin can be considered a useful adjunct for breastfeeding promotion,[10] enabling the rendering of all basic care to both mother and child in the postpartum period, in addition to promoting the educational characteristics aimed at the practice of breastfeeding.[11]
