The Effect of Applying Problem-solving Skills on Stress Coping Styles and Emotional Self-efficacy in Mothers of Preterm Neonates: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Dysfunctional stress-coping styles may accelerate negative emotional self-efficacy in the mothers of preterm neonates. This study was conducted to determine the effect of applying problem-solving skills on stress-coping styles and emotional self-efficacy in mothers of preterm neonates. This randomized clinical trial was conducted from January 2020 to February 2021 in 4 neonatal intensive care units (NICU) of Mashhad, Iran. 60 mothers were selected using convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to control and intervention groups. The intervention group was divided into groups of 3-5 people to attend 6 sessions of at least 60 minutes held 3 times a week for two weeks and received training on problem-solving skills. The control group received routine care. Data were collected using demographic characteristic forms, problem-solving inventory, ways of Coping Questionnaire, and the emotional self-efficacy scale. The tools were initially filled out by both groups and re-completed at the end of the second week after the intervention and four weeks later. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 and the significance level of less than 0.05. Independent and paired t-test, Mann-Whitney, Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, repeated measures, and Bonferroni post hoc test were used. Analysis of variance with repeated measures showed that in the intervention group, there was an increase in the scores of problem-focused style (before: 37.9±6.3; immediately: 46.2±5.3; one month later: 47.5±5.6) (P<0.001), a decrease in scores of emotion-focused style (before: 44.0±6.9; immediately: 38.6±6.2; one month later: 38.0±4.4) (P<0.001), and an increase in mothers' emotional self-efficacy (before: 113.0±14.9; immediately: 130.3±10.6; one month later: 134.5±8.3) (P<0.001). Conclusion: Problem-solving skills are recommended to be used in NICU to empower mothers. Problem-solving skills are recommended to be used in NICU to empower mothers to adopt appropriate strategies for dealing with the situational stress of having a preterm neonate and to increase emotional self-efficacy.Trial Registration Number: IRCT20191211045696N1.

Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy in Mothers: The Body Image and Emotional Intelligence Perspective

BackgroundBreastfeeding is a dynamic and complex process. Due to its complex nature, many reasons affect one another. Recent studies have focused on breastfeeding rates and factors that affect the early termination of breastfeeding. However, studies evaluating the relationship of body image and emotional intelligence concepts with breastfeeding self-efficacy have remained limited to date, resulting in a significant gap in the literature. AimThe present study was carried out to determine the relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy, body image, and emotional intelligence of postpartum mothers. MethodsThe descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 400 mothers. The data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Body Image Scale (BIS), Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS), and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES). The data were evaluated with the SPSS program, using percentages, mean values, independent t-test,One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation and regression. ResultsThe mothers’ mean age was 29.99±5.46 years. The mean total scores that mothers obtained from the scales were found to be 123.47±23.45 for the BIS, 144.46±13.11 for the SEIS, 51.81±9.46 for the BSES-SF. In the correlation analysis results, there was no correlation between the BSES-SF and SEIS. A statistically significant positive correlation was determined between the BIS and BSES-SF. Considering the regression analysis, it is seen that 7.4% of the change in mothers’ breastfeeding self-efficacy is explained by body image (R^2 = 0.074) ConclusionThe study found that positive body image increases breastfeeding self-efficacy. There is a need for additional longitudinal research examining the body image and emotional intelligence perspective of breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Hubungan Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy (BSEF) dengan Pemberian ASI Eksklusif

Background: In Central Java province, the percentage of infants aged 0-23 months who are breastfed in Sukaharjo district in 2021, which is an average of 10.40%, is still in the low category of exclusive breastfeeding (BPS, 2021). Exclusive breastfeeding during this period, then continued with complementary foods until the age of 2 years (WHO, 2018). The low exclusive breastfeeding is caused by several factors, one of which is the mother's self-efficacy. Mothers with high levels of breastfeeding self-efficacy have a greater tendency to start and continue breastfeeding their babies. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: This study is a quantitative study with the type of Correlational Analysis. The design used in this study is cross sectional. In this study, the sample used was as many as 35 respondents, the analysis test used in this study was the Chi Square Test to determine the relationship between BSEF and exclusive breastfeeding. Results: The results of the chi square test obtained a significant relationship of 0.000 where Asymp. Sig 0.05 so it can be concluded that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected, which means that there is a relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: this study concluded that there is a significant relationship between Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding.

Effect of post-discharge online kangaroo care training on breastfeeding self-efficacy in mothers with preterm infants: A randomised controlled study.

Preterm newborns face many health problems due to their incomplete intrauterine development and the immaturity of their systems. One of these problems concerns nutrition. This study aimed to determine the effect of online kangaroo care (KC) training provided post-discharge on breastfeeding self-efficacy in mothers with preterm infants. This research was conducted as an experimental study with a randomised control group. Two groups were formed: kangaroo care and control. The sample of the study consisted of 68 mothers of preterm infants. The mothers in the KC group were given online KC training after discharge from the hospital. The mothers were asked to perform KC regularly, at least once a day, for 20 min, 7 days a week. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was administered to the mothers before and after training. The results of the study revealed that the difference between the pre-test and post-test breastfeeding self-efficacy scores was statistically significantly higher among the mothers who received online KC training compared with the controls (p < 0.001). According to the results of our research carried out in this context, the mothers who received online KC training had increased breastfeeding self-efficacy compared to those in the control group.

Effectiveness of male partner-targeted breastfeeding education and support interventions on mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy in central Ethiopia: a cluster-randomized controlled trial

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of male partners’ targeted antenatal and postnatal breastfeeding education and support interventions on maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy in central Ethiopia. A two-arm parallel group cluster randomized controlled trial was carried out among couples in a community setting in the Hadiya Zone, central Ethiopia. A total of 408 couples from 16 clusters were randomly assigned to either the intervention (n = 204) or control group (n = 204). The analysis was conducted using an intention-to-treat approach. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis was done to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions. Maternal BFSE was significantly higher among mothers whose male partner received breastfeeding education and support interventions than those who did not receive the interventions (130 (65.0%) v 90 (45.9%), P < 0.001). The net effect of the intervention on improving maternal BFSE was 20.9% [95% CI: 16.9%–24.9%]. In the GEE model, maternal BFSE was 48% [RR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.23, 1.79] higher in the intervention group than the control group. Involving male partners in breastfeeding promotion activities can enhance the mother's self-efficacy and confidence in breastfeeding.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier (NCT number), NCT05173454.

Educational Packages on Breastfeeding Increase Behavior and Self-Efficacy of Mothers

As a specific breastfeeding practice, the proportion of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia remains below the intended indicator. Education about breastfeeding techniques aims to increase success in providing exclusive breastfeeding by increasing mothers' knowledge and skills in breastfeeding their babies. The goal of this study is to find out how the Jambi City Health Center's breastfeeding education program affects moms' confidence and nursing behavior. Mothers who had just given birth or were nursing their babies participated in this study. Using a control group and a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test measures, the study used a quantitative methodology. Using accidental sampling, 25 respondents from the treatment and control groups made up the sample. The variables measured are maternal behavior and self-efficacy. The measuring instruments used were the breastfeeding action instrument and the BSES-FS. The treatment group's behavioral results produced a p-value of 0.001 (&lt;0.05) according to statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test, while the control group's p-value was 0.629 (&gt;0.05). In a similar vein, the treatment group's p-value for self-efficacy outcomes was 0.001 (&lt;0.05), but the control group's was 0.122 (&gt;0.05). These findings imply that nursing moms' behavior and self-efficacy are significantly impacted by teaching packages on breastfeeding procedures delivered by video and booklet medium. In particular, compared to the control group that did not get the intervention, the treatment group, who did receive the intervention, exhibited improved behavior and greater levels of self-efficacy.

HUBUNGAN FAMILY SUPPORT DAN BREASTFEEDING SELF EFFICACY PADA IBU MENYUSUI PMB YULI BAHRIAH

Breast milk (ASI) is considered the best and most important food for babies up to 6 months of age without the addition of other foods. The success of breastfeeding is very dependent on the support provided, both from the family and from the mother's self-efficacy in breastfeeding. The mother's condition can also influence breastfeeding success, such as confidence in her breastfeeding ability (breastfeeding self-efficacy). This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and breastfeeding self-efficacy (breastfeeding self-efficacy) with the success of providing exclusive breastfeeding to breastfeeding mothers at PMB Yuli Bahriah. The method used is quantitative by designcross-sectional, and the sample consisted of 20 breastfeeding mothers in the PMB Yuli Bahriah Kertapati work area in 2024. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire with specific questions regardingfamily support and the success of exclusive breastfeeding.Breastfeeding self-efficacy measured using a scaleBreastfeeding Self-Efficacy (BSE) and analyzed by testchi-square. The research results show that there is a significant relationship betweenfamily support, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Family support plays an important role in the success of exclusive breastfeeding, because it helps babies and families understand the importance of breastfeeding. Mothers also need to increase their self-confidence and motivation to breastfeed as well as knowledge about correct breastfeeding techniques through health service counseling.

From Breastfeeding to Support in Mothers' Feeding Choices: A Key Role in the Prevention of Postpartum Depression?

The postpartum period represents a critical phase of profound transition for women. This timeframe encompasses the physical recuperation associated with childbirth, the intricate psychosocial adjustments inherent in assuming the role of motherhood and also important alterations in steroid and peptide hormones. Hence, as women navigate the reconfiguration of relationships and strive to address the diverse needs of their infants and family members, they concurrently grapple with dramatic transformations which are characteristic of the postpartum phase. In fact, relevant prevalence ranges are reported for maternity blues, a mild condition characterized by self-limited and transient depressive symptoms, but also a well-established risk factor for more serious postpartum mood disorders, such as depression (PPD), with an incidence of 10-15%. Unlike in the US, at the European level, there are no concrete recommendations for the routine integration of the assessment of the mother's emotional state by healthcare professionals, with a considerable risk of underdiagnosing or undertreating these conditions. In this regard, there is a growing body of scientific evidence on the important role of breastfeeding in reducing the risk of PPD and also of the importance of mothers' compliance with this practice. Indeed, sucking the baby regulates the circadian rhythm of the HPA axis and, together with the action of prolactin, the stress response is decreased. In addition, other positive consequences of breastfeeding, which are inversely correlated with the onset of PPD, include the regulation of sleep and waking patterns for mother and baby, the improvement of the mother's self-efficacy and her emotional involvement. It should also be considered that the request for support for breastfeeding can often conceal a request for support for motherhood itself and for the mother's emotional well-being. It therefore emerges that the personnel involved in primary pediatric care to provide adequate support in the transition to motherhood must support mothers in their breastfeeding choices, whether breastfeeding or formula feeding, so that each choice is made conscientiously and serenely. Therefore, neonatal feeding assumes a decisive role, since if, on the one hand, it regulates specific neurohormonal pathways that are protective for maternal emotional well-being (breastfeeding), on the other hand, support in mothers' breastfeeding choices, even in the case of formula feeding, means validating their being mothers in the absence of judgement and counteracting any feelings of inadequacy, conditions that are inversely correlated to DPP.

SELF-EFFICACY IN MOTHERS WITH EMESIS GRAVIDARUM

The prevalence of emesis gravidarum cases in the world is estimated to reach 85% while in Indonesia it reaches 50-90% (Prawirohardjo, 2010). The high incidence of emesis gravidarum cases results in discomfort and decreased quality of life. This study aims to determine the self-efficacy of pregnant women in overcoming symptoms of nausea and vomiting before and after being given prenatal education interventions. Research design: quasi experiment with one group pre-posttest design. The sample size in this study amounted to 30 respondents (pregnant women) in the first trimester with emesis gravidarum in the Pulmbon Health Center working area in 2021. The research instrument was a questionnaire to measure the level of self-efficacy. Data analysis using the T test. Research results: the majority of self-efficacy levels before prenatal education were in the low category (86.7%), and after the intervention, the high level dominated (56.7%). Based on the results of statistical tests, it is known that prenatal education intervention has a significant effect on increasing the self-efficacy of pregnant women in overcoming the symptoms of emesis gravidarum (α=0.001 &lt;0.005). Conclusion: Self-efficacy of mothers with emesis gravidarum has increased after being given prenatal education. More sample size needed in future research.

Association between postpartum depression and breastfeeding self-efficacy in mothers: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundDepression is one of the most common mental disorders in the postpartum period. Depression can decrease self-efficacy in breastfeeding by reducing the mother’s self-confidence. Considering the conflicting results regarding the relationship between postpartum depression and breastfeeding self-efficacy, this systematic review was conducted to investigate the relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and postpartum depression.MethodIn this systematic review, published articles in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched using English keywords “Self-efficacy, breastfeeding, breastfeeding Self-efficacy, depression, postpartum depression” without publication date limit. Data analysis was done with employing STATA14 software. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 index which was 0%. Therefore, the fixed effects method was used to combine the data and perform meta-analysis.ResultThe results of the meta-analysis showed that based on the fixed effect method, depression was associated with decreased breastfeeding self-efficacy on the first day (SMD = 0.62, 95%CI: -0.830, -0.41, p = 0.0001) and on the third day (SMD = 0.84, 95% CI: -0.55,1.14, p = 0.0001). The Begg and Manzumdar test revealed no publication bias, with p = 0.317.ConclusionPostpartum depression may be associated with a decrease in the mother’s breastfeeding self-efficacy and placing mother in a condition to pay low attention to her maternal role. Therefore, healthcare providers should provide adequate support according to the needs of mothers and develop diagnostic and treatment protocols to improve the level of maternal health.

The effect of educational and supportive package by peers on the self-efficacy mothers of premature neonates: A quasi-experimental study

The present study aims to determine the effect of educational and supportive packages by peers on the self-efficacy of mothers of premature neonates. In a quasi-experimental study, a total of 70 mothers with premature infants were randomly divided into two groups: control and intervention. The participants were selected through random sampling, and upon meeting the inclusion criteria and providing informed consent, they were invited to participate in the study. The recruitment of participants took place from July to December 2019. The initial part of the demographic form was completed by the mothers in both the intervention and control groups upon their entry into the study. The second instrument used for measuring self-efficacy was the perceived maternal parenting self-efficacy (PMP-SE) scale. Before the intervention was implemented, there was no statistically significant difference in the total self-efficacy scores between the two groups (P&gt;0.05). Following the intervention, no significant change was noted in the intervention group when compared to the control group (P&gt;0.05). However, a month after the intervention, a significant shift was detected in the dimension of care beliefs in the intervention group when compared to the control group (P=0.023). The findings of the current investigation indicate that the deployment of an educational-support package, administered by peer mothers, in the special care unit for newborns, resulted in an enhancement in the perceived situational beliefs of maternal self-efficacy among mothers of premature infants.

The Effect of Theory-Based Care on Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy, Anxiety and Breast Milk Release

Objective: The effect of nursing care provided according to Dennis’ breastfeeding self-efficacy theory on breastfeeding self-efficacy, anxiety, and breast milk secretion was evaluated.&#x0D; Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 60 mothers in the first week postpartum were examined. The mothers and their supporters in the Dennis Theory-Based Nursing Care group were trained. Before the training, mothers were given the personal information form and the breastfeeding diary form to be filled out for 15 days. The perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers was evaluated using the “Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale”. Their anxiety was determined using the “State Anxiety Scale”, and breast milk release was assessed using the “Daily Form for Baby’s Adequate Nutrition”. The parameters were measured on the first day and 15 days after the training. Routine hospital standard nursing care was provided to the mothers in the control group. &#x0D; Results: The number of formulas given by mothers in the Dennis Theory-Based Nursing Care group to their babies was significantly lower than the number of formulas given by the mothers in the control group (Z=–0.90, p

The influence of parenting classes on maternal self-efficacy in caring for the baby

Preparing for childbirth is crucial because it was a demanding and exhausting experience for unprepared mothers. Confidence in caring for the baby was one of the important indicators of success as a parent. This study aimed to examine the influence of parenting classes on maternal self-efficacy in caring for the baby. The study used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group design method. The research was conducted at several Midwife Clinical Practices in Bogor City. The sample consisted of 42 pregnant women, with 21 in the intervention group and 21 in the control group. Sampling used non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique. The Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy (PMP-SE) questionnaire with a likert scale was used to measure the mother's self-efficacy variable in caring for the baby before and after attending the parenting class. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the mean self-efficacy of mothers in caring for their babies before the intervention was 42.57 (8.577), and after attending the parenting class, it increased to 47.71 (8.344). There was a significant influence of parenting class on mothering self-efficacy in caring for the baby (p=0.015). It is recommended that this model of parenting classes be applied in healthcare settings to educate pregnant women on readiness to become parents, thereby increasing mothers' confidence and ability to take care of their babies after childbirth.

Promoción de la autoeficacia en madres con hijos/as que egresan de unidades de cuidado intensivo neonatal

IntroductionThe mothers of newborns who are discharged from a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience stress and anxiety due to the specialized care their child requires at home, affecting their perception of maternal self-efficacy. Objectiveto evaluate the effect of the nursing intervention called Hospital Discharge Plan (HDP) on the promotion of self-efficacy in mothers of newborns discharged from the NICU. MethodQuantitative study, quasi-experimental design with pre-test/post-test in a single group, using the Parental Evaluation Scale applied to a convenience sample of 72 mothers of high-risk newborns from a NICU located in the city of Villavicencio (Colombia). The first measurement was taken between days 3 and 4 before discharge and at 15 days’ post-discharge. Data processing was carried out using the statistical program SPSS, version 21. The intervention was based on the four concepts of self-efficacy by Barbara Resnick. ResultsThe perception of maternal self-efficacy before the intervention showed a median of 8.9 points (RI 7.6-9.5); after the intervention it showed a median of 9.6 points (RI of 10-8.7); a statistically significant p-value < 0.001 was obtained before and after the intervention with the Wilcoxon rank test. ConclusionsEducation and follow-up promoted the development of knowledge and skills in mothers for the care of high-risk newborns. This contributed to the experience of mastery and vicarious experience from the teaching-learning process and contact with the experience of other mothers, which contributes to the effective development of motherhood.
