Abstract
This predictive study aimed at in vestigating the predictive ability of attitude,subjective norm,andself-efficacy to exclusive breastfeeding during four months of age in preterm infants. The sample group was selected by purposive sampling according to the inclusion criteria of 77 dyads of mothers and preterm infants who visited the pediatrics outpatient department between February 2020 and August 2021. Data were collected by the instruments include five parts: the Demographic Characteristics of Mothers and Preterm Infant Questionnaire,the 24-hour Recall Questionnaire,the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS), the Subjective Norm Questionnaire, and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. The results showed that self-efficacy in breastfeeding was the variable predicting exclusive breastfeeding in preterm infants at four monthsof age. This factor could explain the variability of exclusive breastfeeding at four months in preterm infantsat 25%. Therefore,nurses should advise and encourage mothers of preterm infants to have self-efficacy in breastfeeding to help mothers be able to breastfeed.
