Abstract BackgroundBreastfeeding plays a major role in the health of mothers and babies and has the potential to positively shape an individual’s life both in the short and long-term. In the United Kingdom (UK), despite around 81% of women initiating breastfeeding, only 1% of women breastfeed exclusively to 6 months as recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Women who are socially disadvantaged and younger, are less likely to breastfeed at 6-8 weeks postpartum. One strategy that aims to improve these statistics is the Baby Buddy app which has been designed, developed and implemented by the UK charity Best Beginnings to be a universal intervention to help reduce health inequalities, including breastfeeding. The aim was this study was to retrospectively examine the development of Baby Buddy as a Digital Behaviour Change Intervention (DBCI) that may increase breastfeeding self-efficacy, knowledge and confidence to positively impact breastfeeding rates and duration.MethodsThe study used a three-stage process evaluation, triangulation methods and formalised tools. A retrospective evaluation was done after the app was developed and embedded. The app development process and content were reviewed by applying the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW), Capability, Opportunity and Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) system and Behaviour Change Techniques Taxonomy (BCTTv1). A clear understanding of behaviours that need to change in pregnancy to improve breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy and confidence was sought. ResultsRetrospective application of the BCW, COM-B and BCTTv1 confirmed that the Baby Buddy app is a well-designed DBCI, appealing particularly to younger women and women for whom English is not their first language. The Best Beginnings charity used several frameworks and guidelines and the use of these instruments contributed to the good design and development of Baby Buddy. Content analysis verified that the resources developed could affect attitudes and assist women to make decisions, and perceptions of self-efficacy in relation to breastfeeding. ConclusionsBaby Buddy has the potential to improve breastfeeding knowledge, confidence and self-efficacy. Future research should assess which components of the app are most effective on breastfeeding and whether it has an impact on clinical health outcomes for mothers and babies.

Abstract Background: Breastfeeding knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and social support are affective of a mother’s confidence in breastfeeding which are influencing factors of breastfeeding ways. Knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and social support play important and positive role in promoting breastfeeding behavior in macrosomia.Methods: Collect breastfeeding knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and social support scale of 332 mothers of macrosomia, state the current breastfeeding condition macrosomia in China, investigate the influencing factors of breastfeeding way. Using t test for continuous variables and chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables.Results: The study collected Breastfeeding knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and social support scale of 332 mothers of macrosomia (148 from breastfeeding group and 184 from non-breastfeeding group). Compared with mothers in control groups, mothers in breastfeeding groups had significantly higher knowledge score, and most of the high-scoring items on the knowledge scale pertained to maternal breastfeeding benefits. Although the attitude had no significant difference between the two groups, most majority of participants (71.4% and 73.2%, respectively) perceived breastfeeding could increase the intimacy of mother and infant (95.41% and 94.75%, respectively). Breastfeeding ways were great influence by self-efficacy. Over half of participants (55.41% and 53.26%, respectively) stated that they “have more than 3 friends who can get support and help,” although up to 95% in both groups supported from family members.Conclusion: This study state that knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy and social support are influencing factor that to improve breastfeeding rates of macrosomia, which promote the breastfeeding outcomes.

Breastfeeding rates in the United States continue to be variable and are not meeting benchmarks established by Healthy People 2020. The literature indicates that although breastfeeding knowledge of providers is paramount in the success of breastfeeding mothers, most receive minimal education regarding breastfeeding management. Recognizing a lack of opportunities for nursing students to practice breastfeeding management during clinical rotations, a breastfeeding simulation program was implemented for students prior to beginning Maternal Child Health clinicals. Students reported increased confidence in caring for breastfeeding dyads and enhanced comfort when providing care to a breastfeeding mother (breastfeeding self-efficacy). This hands-on educational approach can be utilized for any provider working with breastfeeding dyads.

Background While breastfeeding is considered the optimal method of infant feeding, Canadian breastfeeding rates remain below the World Health Organization recommendations. Breastfeeding self-efficacy is known to positively influence breastfeeding outcomes. While previous research has identified predictors of breastfeeding self-efficacy in the immediate postpartum, this study identified predictors of breastfeeding self-efficacy in the prenatal period. Research aim: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of breastfeeding self-efficacy in the prenatal period among both primiparous and multiparous women. Methods A sample of 401 Canadian pregnant women in their third trimester completed an online survey. Stepwise multiple linear regression identified predictors of breastfeeding self-efficacy. Results The following variables explained 41.2% of the variance in breastfeeding self-efficacy among the entire sample: feeling prepared for labor and birth, number of children, breastfeeding knowledge, anxiety, length of plan to exclusively breastfeed, income, plan to exclusively breastfeed, and type of health-care provider. Among primiparous women, the following variables explained 31.6% of the variance in breastfeeding self-efficacy: feeling prepared for labor and birth, income, anxiety, length of plan to exclusively breastfeed, education, and marital status. Among the multiparous women, the following variables explained 33.6% of the variance in breastfeeding self-efficacy: anxiety, length of prior exclusive breastfeeding experience, breastfeeding knowledge, and plan to exclusively breastfeed. Conclusion Through the identification of predictors of breastfeeding self-efficacy in the prenatal period, health-care providers can strategically target women at risk of low breastfeeding self-efficacy and intervene early to promote breastfeeding.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a structural model to explain breastfeeding behavior of primipara based on information-motivation-behavioral skills. Variables were breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding motivation, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and parenting stress. Methods: Participants were first-time mothers who were breastfeeding infants from birth to 6 months. Data were collected from 5 pediatric hospitals and 1 public health center in Jeollanam-do from December 24, 2018 to February 28, 2019. A total of 285 questionnaires were included in the analysis. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 20.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs. Results: Fitness statistics for the hypothetical model were appropriate (χ2=48.30 [degrees of freedom= 14, p<0.001], goodness of fit index=0.96, normed fit index=0.89, comparative fit index=0.92, standardized root mean square residual=0.06). Breastfeeding self-efficacy had the most direct and total impact on breastfeeding behaviors (β=0.38, p=0.01). Breastfeeding self-efficacy was directly and totally influenced by breastfeeding knowledge (β=-0.18, p=0.01), breastfeeding motivation (β=0.26, p=0.01). Parenting stress showed a direct effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy (β=-0.14, p=0.02) and breastfeeding behavior (β=0.20, p=0.01), confirming its modulating effect on both variables. Conclusion: Since breastfeeding self-efficacy was the most important variable for the breastfeeding behavior in first-time mothers, nursing interventions should be developed to promote breastfeeding selfefficacy including accurate breastfeeding information and enhanced breastfeeding motivation. Strategies that could relieve or adjust parenting stress should be considered since parenting stress had a causal relationship with breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding behavior.

Breastfeeding knowledge, intention, and self-efficacy affect breastfeeding rates during the postpartum period. Insufficient knowledge, lack of intention, and poor breastfeeding self-efficacy reduce the likelihood of breastfeeding postpartum. The purposes of this study were to (1) assess women’s intention to breastfeed and knowledge and self-efficacy regarding breastfeeding following childbirth, and to (2) identify the factors associated with postpartum breastfeeding during women’s hospital stays. This longitudinal study with a pretest and posttest design study recruited pregnant women from the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient departments and inpatient wards at a medical center in northern Taiwan. Demographic and obstetric characteristics were recorded, and participants were assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale, the Breastfeeding Knowledge Questionnaire, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale—Short Form, and breastfeeding status postpartum. Of the 120 participants, 25% reported breastfeeding during the postpartum hospital stay. Postpartum breastfeeding was associated with lower levels of education and higher prenatal levels of breastfeeding intention. Establishing a breastfeeding-friendly environment in the family and workplace may effectively increase continued breastfeeding.
