“…14 The results of this study indicated that there was no difference in husbands' average education, husbands' income, the number of children, and husbands' age with their knowledge, attitudes, and support because the results of the analysis showed that all p-values are <0.05. This was in line with the study of Buddhika Mahesh et al, 26 K. Abhinaya et al, 27 Laanterä et al, 28 Tran Huu Binch et al, 29 and Su-Ying Tsai. 30…”

One of the most influential factors in exclusive breastfeeding is the husband's support. Giving booklet becomes one way to increase husband's knowledge, attitude, and support toward breastfeeding. The aims of this study were to identify the effect of giving booklet on husband's knowledge, attitude, and support to exclusive breastfeeding; and to search for the correlation between husbands' characteristic, knowledge, attitude, and their support. The research design was quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test with control group that had been held in May-June 2018. Samples of this study were all husbands of trimester III pregnant women that had been selected with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The samples were 36 husbands. Data analysis used Independent t-test, and MANOVA. Measuring instrument was questionnaire. There was a difference in knowledge increased between two groups with p value=0.026. There was a difference in attitude increased between two groups with p value=0.015. There was a difference in support increased between two groups with p=0.018. There was effect of giving booklet on increasing husband's knowledge, attitude, and support to exclusive breastfeeding. There was no correlation between husband's education, income, number of children, and age with husband's knowledge, attitude, and support toward breastfeeding on pregnant woman.

“…Bich & Cuong () found 81.2% of participants initiated breastfeeding within 1 hr after birth in the intervention group and 39.6% in the control group ( p < .001). Two studies found that the intervention groups including fathers increased breastfeeding initiation between 2.4 and 7 times (Bich & Cuong, ; Sahip & Turan, ). This was not supported in another study where there was no difference between intervention and control groups with respect to initiation of breastfeeding (Su & Ouyang, ).…”

“…WHO defined early breastfeeding initiation as infants put to the breast within 1 hr after birth, and exclusive breastfeeding as providing a child only breastmilk without solid or semi-solid supplements with the exception of oral rehydration solution, drops or syrups containing vitamins, minerals, and medicines. Bich & Cuong (2017) found 81.2% of participants initiated breastfeeding within 1 hr after birth in the intervention group and 39.6% in the control group (p < .001). Two studies found that the intervention groups including fathers increased breastfeeding initiation between 2.4 and 7 times (Bich & Cuong, 2017;Sahip & Turan, 2007).…”

“…Fathers' attitudes and beliefs towards exclusive breastfeeding can be improved through educational interventions. Breastfeeding interventions targeting fathers improve knowledge and attitudes towards breastfeeding initiation and exclusivity, and therefore ultimately breastfeeding outcomes (Abbass-Dick, Stern, Nelson, Watson, & Dennis, 2014;Bich & Cuong, 2017;Maycock et al, 2013;Pisacane, Continisio, Aldinucci, D'Amora, & Continisio, 2005).…”

Adequate support for lactating mothers is crucial to improve the rates of early initiation, exclusive, and continued breastfeeding. Maternal breastfeeding intention and ongoing breastfeeding duration are strongly predicted by their partners' breastfeeding beliefs. Partner support has a significant effect on improving rates of any and exclusive breastfeeding, when compared with professional support, particularly in low-income populations. This systematic review investigates the effectiveness of breastfeeding interventions targeting fathers in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). A systematic literature search was undertaken on Medline (EBSCOhost), PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Scopus databases and via manual searching. Inclusion criteria were experimental or quasiexperimental designs targeting fathers from LMIC, which measured either breastfeeding initiation, breastfeeding exclusivity, or duration of breastfeeding as the main outcomes. No time restriction was put in place, and all articles were published in English. The quality of selected papers was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. A total of 8 articles were included from 6 interventions: 2 quasiexperimental and 4 randomized control trials. All interventions involved breastfeeding education targeting fathers; 2 were given only to fathers, and 4 delivered to both fathers and mothers. Among these interventions, 2 measured both early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding; one exclusive breastfeeding only; one exclusive breastfeeding, knowledge, and attitudes; one exclusive breastfeeding and knowledge; and one breastfeeding, continued breastfeeding, and awareness. Across all interventions, breastfeeding education showed significant improvement in breastfeeding outcomes in the intervention compared with the control groups. In summary, breastfeeding education interventions targeting fathers in LMIC are effective in improving early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, and continued breastfeeding. Thus, breastfeeding promotion should consider the education and involvement of fathers in the intervention.

“…In addition, the starting age of treatment, CD4 percentage, and opportunistic infection were found to significantly predict treatment outcome, implying the importance of clinical markers in the treatment response. Bich and Cuong (2016) completed a quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test, non-equivalent control group design study, and concluded that breastfeeding, education materials, and counseling services yielded improvements in fathers' knowledge, attitude and involvement in supporting exclusive breastfeeding.…”
