ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to determine the relationship of breastfeeding self-efficacy with relationship satisfaction and family function in mothers during the first year postpartum. The study was carried out between 01 November 2021 and 01 January 2022 in the paediatric outpatient clinic of the Medical Faculty Hospital of a province in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey. Responses from a total of 331 mothers who were within the first year postpartum were analyzed. The mothers' mean breastfeeding self-efficacy score was 55.3 (SD 9.1), and their effective breastfeeding status was found to be moderate. The following parameters were risk factors negatively affecting mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy at a rate of 27% (F = 11.603, p < 0.001): low spouse/partner relationship satisfaction, unhealthy communication, unhealthy attention, unhealthy behaviour control, and feeding the baby only formula. Breastfeeding self-efficacy of the mothers who have high relationship satisfaction, have healthy family functions, and only breastfeed their babies is positively affected.

摘要

本研究旨在确定产后第一年母亲的母乳喂养自我效能与关系满意度和家庭功能之间的关系。该研究于 2021 年 11 月 1 日至 2022 年 1 月 1 日在土耳其安纳托利亚中部地区某省医学院附属医院的儿科门诊进行。分析了总共 331 名产后第一年内的母亲的回答。母亲的平均母乳喂养自我效能得分为 55.3 (SD 9.1)，发现她们的有效母乳喂养状态为中等。以下参数是对母亲母乳喂养自我效能产生负面影响的风险因素，影响率为 27% ( F = 11.603, p< 0.001）：低配偶/伴侣关系满意度、不健康的沟通、不健康的关注、不健康的行为控制以及只喂养婴儿配方奶粉。关系满意度高、家庭功能健康、仅母乳喂养的妈妈的母乳喂养自我效能感受到正向影响。
