Avaliação Da Autoeficácia Materna Em Amamentar Com Uso De Tecnologia Educativa: Relato De Experiência

Abstract

The objective was to describe the assessment of maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy before and after the use of educational technology using the scores of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES-SF). This is an experience report. Thus, the study proposes to describe the application of an educational technology in the modality of a serialized album entitled "I Can Breastfeed My Child" among women, aiming to raise breastfeeding self-efficacy scores by the BSES-SF scale and increase the duration of breastfeeding. Before the application of the instrument most (80%) women showed high efficacy, medium efficacy was observed in 13% of women, and only 7% had low efficacy. After the application of the instrument, all (100%) women presented high efficacy. Thus, it was possible to observe that women's maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy was higher after the educational intervention, thus highlighting the importance of the health professional as a guide and provider of necessary information.
