“…On an important note, identification of such mothers allows healthcare professionals to provide appropriate intervention to modify their attitudes and enhance their confidence to breastfeed (Zhu et al, 2014). findings show that education level of mothers is not related with BFSE (Gerhardsson et al, 2014). The difference in the results could be due to the difference in the sample population considered, whereby the mothers selected to participate in the study were having the same education level.…”

“…This could be because mothers with higher levels of education normally prefer using formula and bottle feeding due to the fact that some are working and do not have enough time to breastfeed while others have money and can afford to buy their babies formula. However in a similar study that was carried out among postnatal mothers in Spain by Oliver‐Roig and others, findings show that education level of mothers is not related with BFSE (Gerhardsson et al, ). The difference in the results could be due to the difference in the sample population considered, whereby the mothers selected to participate in the study were having the same education level.…”

“…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.

Results:We identifi ed 19 assessment tools, of which 12 were validated and fi ve were cross-culturally adapted. In terms of adaptation, the tools were used to assess the risk of early weaning (BAPT) and the perception/behaviour of mothers during nursing (BSES-SF and IIFAS). Conclusions:The identifi cation of the available instruments and their indications for breastfeeding assessments can help health workers choose the ideal instrument, and qualify maternal and child care. Keywords: Breast feeding. Evolution. Postpartum period. RESUMOObjetivos: Identifi car instrumentos de avaliação da amamentação e sua aplicação na prática clínica, validação e adaptação transcultural. Método: Revisão integrativa, realizada em seis bases de dados e em uma biblioteca eletrônica, entre agosto/2014-dezembro/2015, sem limitação temporal. Resultados: Foram identifi cados 19 instrumentos de avaliação do AM. Destes, 12 foram validados e cinco foram adaptados transculturalmente. Quanto à aplicação, destacam-se seu uso para a avaliação do risco de desmame (BAPT) e a percepção/comportamento da mulher em amamentar (BSES-SF e IIFAS). Conclusão: A identifi cação dos instrumentos disponíveis e de suas indicações para a avaliação do AM pode auxiliar profi ssionais na escolha pelo instrumento a ser utilizado, qualifi cando a assistência materno-infantil.
