“…In line with the current study, Brown found that conscientiousness was significantly related to the belief that breastfeeding is a healthy behavior, which increased mothers’ motivation to breastfeed but is not a guarantee of continued breastfeeding [ 37 ]. In contrast with this study that conscientiousness and breastfeeding together improve physical health, Padashian et al and Keller et al demonstrated that there is no relationship between breastfeeding and conscientiousness or situational psychological actions [ 34 , 38 ].…”

Background Despite the World Health Organization’s (WHO) emphasis on exclusive breastfeeding, the documents show a declining trend worldwide. Studies assert that the mother’s personality traits appear to have an impact on this issue. This study aimed to investigate the potential influence of personality traits on exclusive breastfeeding, which might be channeled by self-efficacy as a mediator variable. Methods Data were analyzed from the cross-sectional study. The exclusive breastfeeding scale, the breastfeeding self-efficacy questionnaire, and the Five-Factor Model questionnaire (as follows: neuroticism, extraversion, openness experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) were completed by120 Iranian volunteer mothers with an infant aged 6–12 months referred to health centers in Shiraz (a major city in southern Iran) between May to December 2019. The structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used to obtain the direct and indirect effects of personality traits and self-efficacy on exclusive breastfeeding. Results The study showed the significant direct effect of some personality traits (agreeableness, extraversion, and consciousness) and self-efficacy on exclusive breastfeeding. The indirect effect of extraversion on exclusive breastfeeding through self-efficacy was also obtained from the result of SEM analysis. The model fit the data satisfactorily, according to the fit indices criteria extracted from the mediational analysis. Conclusions Self-efficacy appears to be a significant predictor of exclusive breastfeeding. Therefore, exclusive breastfeeding could be enhanced by safe education in pregnancy, reinforcing the self-efficacy of pregnant women and considering their personality traits.

“…This study showed that pregnant women with type D personality had lower breastfeeding competency than others, which could be explained by the influence of negative psychological on breastfeeding. Pregnant women with an extroverted nature have decisiveness and positive emotions, and show more potential in starting or continuing breastfeeding 40 . In contrast, pregnant women with neuroticism, anxiety, and depression shilly-shally to make breastfeeding decisions and have lower breastfeeding competency than others 41 .…”

Competency is closely related to the occurrence of the behavior. Breastfeeding competence is the mastery of different breastfeeding factors which intervene in breastfeeding behavior. Breastfeeding competence could improve the breastfeeding behavior. However, few studies have paid attention to the status and the influencing factors of breastfeeding competency. The breastfeeding competency of pregnant women in third trimester pregnancy has the greatest impact on breastfeeding behavior after childbirth. Therefore, the objective of this study were to investigate the breastfeeding competency level and independent risk factors for breastfeeding competency among pregnant women in third trimester pregnancy. A cross-sectional survey method and convenience sampling method was used in the study. The general information questionnaire including age, gestational week, educational background, and so on were used to investigate the general information of pregnant women and their husbands. A breastfeeding competency scale (BCS) was used to investigate the breastfeeding competency of pregnant women. The total score of the BCS ranges from 38 to 190, with higher scores indicating greater breastfeeding competency. Lower level, medium level and higher level are 38–89, 90–140 and 141–190 respectively. Type-D Scale-14 (DS14) was used to investigate the type D personality of pregnant women. A multivariable linear regression was used to examine the independent predictors of breastfeeding competency. A total of 550 questionnaires were collected and finally 525 effective questionnaires were collected. The age of 525 pregnant women is (30.24 ± 3.954) years old. The breastfeeding competency score of pregnant women was (134 ± 19.741). Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that higher breastfeeding competency in pregnant women were reported among pregnant women who gestational age ≥ 256 days (37 weeks) (B = 8.494, p < 0.001), the previous breastfeeding experience were exclusive breastfeeding (B = 17.384, p < 0.001) and partial breastfeeding (B = 16.878, p < 0.001), participating in pregnant women school 2–3 times (B = 10.968, p = 0.013) and ≥ 5 times (B = 13.731, p = 0.034). Pregnant women with lower breastfeeding competency were found in women who were judged to have type D personality (B = − 6.358, p < 0.001). The result can explain 25.8% of the variation in the total breastfeeding competency score. This should be considered an important issue by maternal and child health care in the medical system that the moderate level of breastfeeding capacity among pregnant women. Differentiated and targeted breastfeeding support and services for pregnant women should be carried out based on influencing factors of breastfeeding competency.

“…Service quality can be improved by increasing the available human resources and without large investments. This increase can reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity (Padashian et al, 2021). Article A9 IBCLCs provide instructional support in addition to home visits as well as telephone and text messages to breastfeeding mothers.…”

Exclusive breastfeeding (ASI) according to the World Health Organization (WHO) is breast milk that is given to babies from birth for six months, without replacing it with other food or drinks except medicine, vitamins and minerals. Exclusive breastfeeding is constrained because the mother is not confident that she is able to breastfeed properly so that all the nutritional needs of the baby are not met. The success of exclusive breastfeeding requires support from all health workers, the government, husbands, family and peers. The purpose of the review is to review the support of health workers for the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This research method is Scoping Review using the PRISMA ScR Framework. Literature Searching uses the relevant Pubmed, Science Direct and Wiley databases, with the inclusion criteria being original English articles that can be accessed in full tex in 2017 – 2021. Conducting critical appraisal using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Based on the search results of the 419 articles that have been selected, there are 10 selected literature and three themes emerged as a result of the scoping review, namely support from health workers, time and place, and forms of support for the success of exclusive breastfeeding. The research articles found came from developing countries on the Asian continent, namely China and Indonesia. Articles from developing countries on the African Continent, namely Ethiopia, Kenya, and Ghana. Articles come from the developed countries of the Australian continent, namely articles from Australia. Articles from developed countries on the European continent, namely England and Spain. From the results of the 10 articles found, there were 5 types of qualitative articles, 3 types of cross-sectional studies, 1 type of randomized controlled trial article and 1 type of quasi-experimental study article.
