“…Bu algı ne kadar güçlü olursa, birey amaca ulaşmak için o kadar çok çaba sarf edecektir. 58,59 Emzirme öz yeterliliği, emzirme süresini ve sadece anne sütü vermeyi tahmin etmektedir. Mossman ve arkadaşları (2008) 60 adölesan annelerin emzirme güven ve tutumlarının emzirmeyi başlatma ve süresi üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yaptıkları çalışmada (n=100), prenatal dönemdeki emzirme tutum puanı yüksek olan annelerin emzirme oranlarının daha yüksek ve emzirmeye devam etme sürelerinin daha uzun olduğu belirlenmiştir.…”

ÖZETDünya Sağlık Örgütü, adölesan dönemini 10-19 yaşları arasındaki dönem olarak tanımlamakta ve dünyada her altı kişiden birinin adölesan olduğunu bildirmektedir. Bu dönemde gerçekleşen fiziksel ve psikolojik değişiklikler, madde bağımlılığı, korunmasız cinsel ilişki ve istenmeyen gebelikler gibi bazı riskli davranışlara neden olabilmektedir. Hem gelişmiş, hem de gelişmekte olan ülkelerde adölesan gebelikler önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Adölesan gebeliğin risk faktörleri, çok yönlü ve karmaşıktır. Abortus, erken doğum tehditi, gebelikte hipertansiyon, anemi, düşük doğum ağırlığı, konjenital anomali riski, artmış neonatal mortalite ve emzirme problemleri bunlar arasında sayılabilir. Birçok açıdan riskli bir dönemde olan adölesan anneler arasında emzirmeye başlama, emzirmeye devam etme oranlarının az olması da, anne ve bebeğin sağlığını olumsuz etkileyen ve göz ardı edilen önemli sorunlardandır. Düşük sosyoekonomik durum, partner yokluğu, sosyal destek yetersizliği, olumsuz anne ve eş desteği, ağrı, kültürel etkiler, bilgi eksikliği, olumsuz deneyimler, emzirme niyeti, emzirmeye ilişkin tutum ve öz-yeterlilik emzirmeyi etkileyen faktörler olarak belirtilmektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Adölesan, annelik, emzirme ABSTRACTWorld Health Organization defined the adolescent period between the ages of 10-19 and declared that one out of every six people are adolescent. Physical and psychological changes in this period might cause risky behaviors such as drug abuse, sexual intercourse with no protection and unwanted pregnancy. Adolescent pregnancies are an important health problem in both developed and developing countries. Risk factors of adolescent pregnancy are complicated and miscellaneous. Abortus, threat of premature birth, hypertension in pregnancy, anemia, low weight of the newborn, congenital anomaly risk, increased neonatal mortality and breast feeding problems are some of them. For adolescent mothers, who are in a risky period for many aspects, low rates of starting and continuing breast feeding is another important and neglected problem affecting mother's and newborn's health negatively. Low socio-economic condition, absence of partner, inadequate social support, negative support of parents and couple, pain, cultural factors, lack of knowledge, negative experiences, breast feeding intention, manner regarding breast feeding and self-sufficiency were reported as factors affecting the breast feeding.

“…(10)(11)(12) The concept of maternal confidence in breastfeeding ability, theoretically conceptualized as Breastfeeding Self-efficacy (BSE), was developed based on the Cognitive Social Theory proposed by Bandura, and relates to the woman's perception of her ability to breastfeed her child; this means that mothers need to believe that they have the knowledge and skills to successfully breastfeed their children for this practice to be successful. (13) Despite these findings, maternal confidence was still little explored among adolescent mothers. The prior knowledge of adolescent mothers' confidence in the practice of breastfeeding may contribute to the reduction of rates of early weaning and infant morbidity and mortality.…”

Objective: To verify the association between breastfeeding self-efficacy of adolescent mothers and length of exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: Longitudinal and prospective study. The Brazilian version of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was used to evaluate breastfeeding self-efficacy, and a questionnaire was administered through telephone contact at 30, 60 and 180 days postpartum to evaluate child feeding. Results: Of the participants, 56.90% presented a high level of breastfeeding self-efficacy. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was of 62% at 30 days, 52.59% at 60 days and 16% at 180 days postpartum. There was no significant association between confidence and length of exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: Confidence was not a predictive factor in the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among adolescent mothers. However, there is an evident need for new strategies so that adolescents who have complications in these periods are embraced and helped. ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a associação entre a autoeficácia na amamentação de mães adolescentes e a duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal e prospectivo. Para avaliação da autoeficácia na amamentação foi utilizada a versão brasileira da Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale na maternidade, e para avaliação da alimentação da criança foi aplicado um questionário, por meio de contato telefônico, com 30, 60 e 180 dias pós-parto. Resultados: 56,90% das participantes apresentaram alto nível de autoeficácia para amamentar. A prevalência AME foi de 62% em 30 dias, 52,59% em 60 dias e 16% em 180 dias pós-parto. Não houve associação significativa entre a confiança com a duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo. Conclusão: A confiança não foi um fator preditivo da prevalência do aleitamento materno exclusivo. entre as mães adolescentes. No entanto, evidencia-se a necessidade de novas estratégias para que as adolescentes que passam por intercorrências nestes períodos sejam acolhidas e auxiliadas.

“…Furthermore, Dennis (22,23) claims that women with high breastfeeding self-efficacy will be able to control their anxiety and emotional disturbances to stay calm and respond appropriately when they need extra support. Research supports that an individual's behaviour or task performance can be influenced by their self-efficacy (20,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36). In a randomised controlled trial of 889 Australian women, Forster, McLachlan, and Lumley (37) found a significant relationship between high breastfeeding self-efficacy scores and duration of breastfeeding at four months (λ 2 = 14.89, p <.001).…”

. (2015). Supporting women to achieve breastfeeding to six months postpartum -The theoretical foundations of a successful program. Women and Birth, 28 (4), 265-271. Supporting women to achieve breastfeeding to six months postpartumThe theoretical foundations of a successful program AbstractBackground Although the benefits of breastfeeding to six months are well-established, only about half of Australian women succeed. The factors associated with successful breastfeeding are rarely translated into effective interventions. A new educational and support program, called the Milky Way program has been demonstrated to be effective in supporting women to achieve prolonged breastfeeding. In the Milky Way program, breastfeeding is considered an embodied performance which requires an engaged combination of body, mind and spirit. This paper aims to explain how the two theories that informed the program were used to better enable women's long term breastfeeding success. Method The theory of self-efficacy is first described as a way to develop women's cognitive processes to organise and execute the course of actions to breastfeed for a longer period of time. Birth territory theory is then presented. This theory discusses women as embodied selves; an essential concept for breastfeeding success. Birth territory theory also describes the effects of the holistic environment on the woman and explores the effects of power that is used in the environment. This power can be used integratively to strengthen the woman's breastfeeding confidence and success or, disintergratively which reduces her confidence and undermines her success. Conclusion Strategies based on self-efficacy theory are helpful, but are not sufficient to promote breastfeeding to six months. Health educators also need to foster the woman's connection to, and trust in, her body and her baby's body to breastfeed spontaneously. Being aware of environmental impacts on how the woman and baby breastfeed; and using one's own power integratively is crucial to women being able to achieve prolonged breastfeeding.
