“…In this study the Cronbach's alpha of the BFSES is (0.89), this implies that the scale items reliably measured the intended factor which was the BFSE. From the studies that have been done in western countries like Iran, Australia, China and Turkey, the recent publications show strong Cronbach's alpha scores ranging from (0.83–0.93) (Oliver‐Roig et al, ; Otsuka et al, ; Zhu et al, ). The overall mean score of the participants on the scale was 48.65.…”

“…In the studies that were carried out among postnatal mothers in Spain, china and Sweden reported that women who had a previous successful breastfeeding experience were more likely to have a high BFSE than new mothers (Gerhardsson et al, ; Oliver‐Roig et al, ; Zhu et al, ). In this study, the previous breastfeeding experience of women was not found to be a predictor of BFSE at both bivariate and multivariate analysis levels.…”

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the factors associated with breastfeeding self‐efficacy among postnatal women in Kampala, Uganda. Methods This was a descriptive cross‐sectional study that was conducted among women attending a postnatal clinic at a teaching hospital in Kampala. Three hundred and eighty‐four postnatal women were randomly selected to respond to an interviewer‐administered questionnaire. We used the Breastfeeding Self‐Efficacy scale (BFSES) to assesses breastfeeding self‐efficacy (BFSE). Descriptive statistics and percentages were used to summarize the findings. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to determine predictors of BFSE. Results Participants had a mean BFSE score of 48.65. The 14 item BFSES consistently measured breastfeeding confidence with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.89. About six in 10 women (60.2%) had high BFSE, the rest (39.8%) had low BFSE. Having a partner (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 13, 95% CI 3.46–15) and receiving breastfeeding support from health workers (aOR: 4.45, 95% CI: 1.95–6.12) were significantly associated with BFSE. Conclusion A notable number of mothers had a low BFSE. Health workers should support breastfeeding mothers to achieve the desired exclusive breastfeeding levels. Relevance to clinical practice The findings of the study provide a direction for midwives in maternity care in educating and supporting women about breastfeeding for the improvement of exclusive breastfeeding rates thus realization of benefits of exclusive breastfeeding.

“…In addition, when the infant reached 40 weeks of postmenstrual age, the mothers were asked to complete an questionnaire created by the researcher team containing questions about demographic characteristics, such as age, civil status, education, the infant's gestational age, birthweight, delivery mode, number of other children, length of hospital stay, breastfeeding or formula or both and pacifier use. The questions were selected based on other similar studies . The mothers were asked to fill in a box in response to whether they gave formula or expressed breastmilk to the infants at the hospital.…”

“…BFSE was measured with the Spanish version of the Breastfeeding Self‐Efficacy Scale‐Short Form (BSES‐SF) (Oliver‐Roig et al., ) at baseline and at the first, third, and sixth months postpartum or until the cessation of breastfeeding. GSE was also measured at the same time points with the Spanish version of the General Self‐Efficacy Scale (GSES) (Sanjuán Suárez, Pérez García, & Bermúdez Moreno, ).…”

Aims To evaluate the effectiveness of a brief motivational intervention to increase the breastfeeding duration in the first 6 months postpartum in mothers who began breastfeeding in the first hour after birth and to explore the role of general and breastfeeding self‐efficacy in this relationship. Design A multi‐centre randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods Data were collected from February 2018 ‐ March 2019. Women were randomly assigned to an intervention group that received a brief motivational intervention (N = 44) or a control group that was offered standard education on breastfeeding (N = 44). Survival analysis techniques were carried out with a follow‐up of 6 months. In addition, the roles of breastfeeding and general self‐efficacy in the association between BMI and breastfeeding duration were explored through mediation/moderation analysis. Results Among 88 randomized patients (mean age, 32.82 years), 81 (92.04%) completed the trial. The survival analyses of exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding (exclusive and non‐exclusive) showed reductions in the risk of abandonment in the intervention group of 63% (aHR: 0.37 [0.22–0.60] p < .001) and 61% (aHR: 0.39 [0.20–0.78] p = .008), respectively. We found that self‐efficacy acted as a moderator of the effect of brief motivational intervention on breastfeeding self‐efficacy. A discrete indirect effect of brief motivational intervention through increased breastfeeding self‐efficacy was found on breastfeeding duration, with an index of moderated mediation of 0.08 (95% CI: 0.02–0.19). Greater positive variations in the breastfeeding self‐efficacy scores during follow‐up predicted exclusive and non‐exclusive breastfeeding duration. Conclusion A brief motivational intervention conducted in the immediate postpartum period increases breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding duration in the first 6 months. Although breastfeeding self‐efficacy seems to moderate the effect of brief motivational intervention on the increase in breastfeeding duration, other factors may influence its effectiveness. Further studies could focus on exploring how brief motivational intervention works and whether it also works for pregnant mothers who have not yet decided whether to breastfeed. Impact Brief motivational intervention could be introduced as part of routine care of women who begin breastfeeding to improve the low rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months postpartum.
