Current self-efficacy and its influencing factors analysis of breastfeeding among puerperas after delivering

Objective To investigate current self-efficacy and its influencing factors of breastfeeding among puerperas after delivering, so as to provide scientific evidence for formulating interventions. Methods The general information questionnaire, self-rating depressive scale (SDS), social support revalued scale (SSRS), breast feeding knowledge scale, breastfeeding self-efficacy scale-short form were used to survey 815 delivered puerperas in Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital from May to September 2014, and the influencing factors of breastfeeding self efficacy had been carried out single factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results The scores of SDS for 815 puerperas were from 25 to 71 with average score (44.14±8.865); the scores of SSRS were from 23 to 63 with average score (43.03±6.428); the scores of breastfeed knowledge scale were from 51 to 125 with average score (99.40±12.299); the scores of breastfeeding self-efficacy scale-short form were from 14 to 70 with average score (49.73±10.713). The correlation analysis represented that the breastfeeding self-efficacy for delivered pureperas was negatively correlated with postpartum depression (P<0.01), but it was positively correlated with SSRS and breastfeeding knowledge (P<0.01); multiple regression analysis obtained that predictive factors of breastfeeding self-efficacy included delivery method, using feeding bottle during hospitalization, sucking frequency everyday during hospitalization, planned feeding method, planned length of breastfeeding, postpartum depression, and social support level. Conclusions The level of breastfeeding self-efficacy of this group is in medium level, so medical department can focus on these influencing factors to take targeted actions to improve the breastfeeding self-efficacy, then enhance breastfeeding rate to protect the health of mothers and infants.

Breastfeeding Self Effi cacy and Effective Breastfeeding on Postpartum Mother

Introduction: Breastfeeding has been identifi ed as the optimal source of nutrition for infants. However, many mothers do not breastfeed their infants excusively. The possible modifi able factors to improve breastfeeding rates are breastfeeding self effi cacy and effective breastfeeding behavior. The aim of this study was to analyze the breastfeeding support package to improve breastfeeding self effi cacy and impact on effective breastfeeding behavior. Method: This study was a quasy experiment pre-post test non equivalent control group design. Samples were 20 respondents recruited using consecutive sampling in Navy Hospital Dr. Ramelan who met the inclusion criteria. Instruments that used in this study were breastfeeding self effi cacy short form and LATCH assessment tool. Results: The score of breastfeeding self effi cacy on experiment group was improve higher than control group. But, the hypothesis test showed that there were no difference score between experiment and control group after intervention (p = 0.104). The correlation between breastfeeding self effi cacy and effective breastfeeding behavior was not signifi cant (p = 0.976). Analisis and Discussion: The antecedent of breastfeeding self effi cacy were not only the information resources but also job and education level. Breastfeeding self effi cacy was not an antecedent of effective breastfeeding behavior. Keywords: breastfeeding self effi cacy, effective breastfeeding, intervention

Influence of accountable and kindred-like nursing on breasffeeding self-efficacy of primipara

Objeetlve To explore the impact of accountable and kindred - like nursing on breastfeeding self-efficacy of primipara. Methods 100 primiparas from August 2010 to October 2010 were collected as control group, and another 100 primiparas from January 2011 to March 2011 were collected as experimental group. Three months before and after accountable and kindred-like nursing carried out, breastfeeding Self- efficacy Scale （BSES） was respectively used to evaluate the effect on breasffeeding self-efficacy between the two groups. Results Before and after the implementation of accountable and kindred-like nursing, the scores of breasffeeding self-efficacy increased, and the difference was statistically significant [ （ 55. 18±5. 44 ） vs （48.26 ±4.89） ,（70.98 ±5.08）vs（59.81 ±5.97）, （126.38±6.42） vs（108.16±7.97） ;t =9. 46, 14. 25, 17.81 ,respectively;P 〈 0. 05 ].

An investigation of Breast Feeding Self Efficacy and its Relationship with exclusive breast feeding

Child nutrition in different aspects is important in the first years especially the first two years after birth. The most important feature of this period is that the physical and cerebral damage of malnutrition after this period is not compensable. Successful breastfeeding not only depends on psychological and social factors, but also depends on the physiological conditions that can affect the onset of lactation. In addition, other factors are involved in the duration of breastfeeding including: age and maternal education, family income, the first time to decide for breastfeeding, First time feeding, maternal skill and breastfeeding self-efficacy. The aim of this study, was to determine breastfeeding self efficacy and its relationship with exclusive breast-feeding. In this descriptive study, the data collection instrument, was a questionnaire consisted of the demographic characteristics and standard items of breastfeeding self efficacy. The number of participants in this study was 331 persons that selected continuously from the Primiparous women at Shahid Akbarabadi hospital in Tehran. The findings of this study showed promising results in all samples studied, standard deviation and mean score of breastfeeding self-efficacy in exclusive breast-feeding group was 53.64p9.8 and in non exclusive breast-feeding group was 46.11p9.23, which showed that the mothers with exclusive breast-feeding, had higher breastfeeding self-efficacy scores than those fed with the non-exclusive. Therefore according to the reported reduced rate of breast feeding in the recent years, it is necessary to provide appropriate strategies in order to increase breastfeeding self efficacy, especially in primiparous mothers in order to increase breastfeeding rates.

Epub 2011 July 11; doi: https://doi.org/10.11136/adc.2010.209213 Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco sought to compare the effect of breast pumping versus hand expression for mothers whose newborns were not latching or sucking well at 12 to 36 hours after birth. Poor latch and/or suck were determined by maternal interview. The 68 mothers were randomly assigned, using block randomization stratified by site and delivery method, to one supervised session which involved teaching followed by 15 minutes of either bilateral electric pumping or hand expression. After the intervention, mothers were administered the Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Short-Scale Form as a measure of breastfeeding confidence, a modified Holdcroft scale of pain, and the breast milk expression experience...

Identifying predictors of breastfeeding self‐efficacy in the immediate postpartum period

Researchers have found evidence that breastfeeding self-efficacy is an important variable that significantly influences initiation and duration rates. The purpose of this study was to develop a multi-factorial predictive model of breastfeeding self-efficacy in the first week postpartum. As part of a longitudinal study, a population-based sample of 522 breastfeeding mothers in a health region near Vancouver, British Columbia completed mailed questionnaires at 1-week postpartum. Bivariate correlations were used to select variables for the multiple regression analysis. The best-fit regression model revealed eight variables that explained 54% of the variance in Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Scale (BSES) scores at 1-week postpartum: maternal education, support from other women with children, type of delivery, satisfaction with labor pain relief, satisfaction with postpartum care, perceptions of breastfeeding progress, infant feeding method as planned, and maternal anxiety. The BSES may be used to identify risk factors, enabling health professionals to improve quality of care for new breastfeeding mothers.
