“…A considerable amount of reliability and validity evidence supports its use as a global measure of breastfeeding self-efficacy. The reliability and validity of this instrument was satisfactory in USA [8], Canada [9–11], Brazil [12, 13], UK [14], Spain [15], Italy [16], Sweden [17], Poland [18], Croatia [19], Portugal [20], Turkey [21], China [22], Japan [23], Malaysia [9], and Hong Kong [24].…”

Objective The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) is a widely used instrument that measures breastfeeding self-efficacy. This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Persian version of BSES-SF in Iranian mothers. Results The English version of BSES-SF was translated into Persian using the standard forward–backward translation procedure. No changes (i.e., neither delete nor rephrase the items) were made to the BSES-SF items. The mean BSES-SF total score was 50.80 ± 8.91. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for internal consistency for the BSES-SF was 0.910. The confirmatory factor analysis results provided evidence for unidimensionality of the scale (χ2/df = 4.42; CFI = 0.96; NFI = 0.95; IFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.095 and SRMR = 0.054). The divergent validity of the BSES-SF was proved via a significant negative correlation with scores of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (r = − 0.273, P < 0.001). In sum, the Persian version of the BSES-SF is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring breastfeeding self-efficacy in Iranian mothers. Trial registration number This was a cross-sectional study (not clinical trial).

“…The studies suggested that a co-parenting intervention involving fathers warrants additional investigation to assess significant improvements in breastfeeding duration, paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, and maternal perceptions of paternal involvement and assistance with breastfeeding. Lastly, paternal involvement and paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy could increase the feeling of confidence to a breastfeeding mother (Abbass-Dick et al, 2015;Dennis, Brennenstuhl, & Abbass-Dick, 2018). This suggests conducting future studies to measure breastfeeding self-efficacy among fathers, especially in the prenatal period.…”

Introduction: All women should be offered support to breastfeed their babies to increase the duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding. This study aims to assess the level of marital satisfaction and its influence to prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy in first time mothers during late pregnancy.Methods: A descriptive correlational was conducted among 128 simple randomized prim gravid women who agreed to participate and had prenatal care check-up in the health center at the time of data gathering. The instruments used were 15-item Marital Adjustment Test (MAT) to measure marital adjustment and 14-item Breastfeeding Self efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) as a measure of breastfeeding self-efficacy. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was utilized to test the relationships between the sample’s marital adjustment scores to correlate with BFSE of the respondents. Fisher’s t test was utilized to determine the significance of correlations. A p-value of equal to or less than .05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The study revealed that the sampled mothers have a high level of marital adjustment score (112.05± 21.83). Prenatal mothers responded in the study were highly confident and have high self-efficacy in breastfeeding first child currently bearing (4.55±.51). Lastly, it was found that there is no significant correlation between marital adjustment and prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy (β=-.052, p-value=.280).Conclusion: It was found that there is a high level of marital adjustment and breastfeeding self-efficacy among sampled mothers. However, there is no significant correlation between marital adjustment and prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy. The study suggests incorporating co-parenting intervention involving father’s involvement and assistance with breastfeeding when creating interventions in breastfeeding.

“…Este último instrumento validado é composto por 14 itens concebidos para avaliar a confiança das mães na amamentação no período pós-parto imediato (primeiras 24 horas) e que necessitam de suporte adicional. Cada pergunta é respondida segundo uma escala de Likert e pode variar entre 14 a 70 pontos (9) .…”

“…No referente a confiança, a nomenclatura autoeficácia tem sido bem aceita quando se relaciona a comportamentos de saúde, sendo definida como a confiança de um indivíduo em sua capacidade de realizar uma tarefa ou comportamento específico. Quando pertinente ao cenário de amamentação, a autoeficácia em amamentar é uma variável importante na duração da amamentação, e pode ser mensurada por meio Escala de Autoeficácia na Amamentação (Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale -Short Form-BSES-SF) (9) .…”

Objetivo: analisar os fatores associados ao aleitamento materno segundo os tipos de mamilo. Método: estudo transversal quantitativo realizado com 60 puérperas internadas em alojamento conjunto. Para coleta foi utilizado um questionário semi-estruturado, além da aplicação da Escala de Ansiedade Traço-Estado e da Escala de Autoeficácia na Amamentação. Resultados: a proporção de mamilos protusos e não protusos foi de 51,6% (n= 31) e 48,3% (n=29), consecutivamente. A ansiedade avaliada foi maior nas mulheres com mamilos não protusos. Enquanto a autoeficácia na amamentação foi maior nas mulheres com mamilos protusos (p 0,027). Os fatores que se associaram a amamentação segundo os tipos de mamilos foram: dificuldade na pega (p 0,019), auxílio durante a amamentação (p 0,003) e satisfação ao amamentar (p 0,043). Conclusão: a prevalência anatômica da protusão mamilar demonstra um fator facilitador durante a amamentação o que pode resultar no sucesso da prática exclusiva por um período mais duradouro.
