This quasi-experimental research was to study the effectiveness of enhancing self-efficacy programs on perceived self-efficacy, knowledge, and satisfaction in breastfeeding practice among first-time postpartum mothers. The participants were sixty first-time postpartum mothers from the obstetric unit at Lamphun Hospital in Lamphun province, selected by purposive sampling. The participants were equally divided into two groups, the first group were assigned to the control group and received usual nursing care, whereas the second group were assigned to the experimental group which participated in the enhancing self-efficacy program and also received usual nursing care. Data collection instruments used were the demographic characteristics questionnaire, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, the breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, and the satisfaction with breastfeeding questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and paired t-test.
The results revealed that 1) the mean scores of breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding knowledge, and satisfaction with breastfeeding of the experimental group after participation in the enhancing self-efficacy program, were significantly higher than before participating in the enhancing self-efficacy program (p < .001, p < .001, and p < .001 respectively), 2) the experimental group had a significantly higher mean score than the control group in breastfeeding self-efficacy (p < .05), but there were no significant differences in breastfeeding knowledge and satisfaction with breastfeeding.
The results from this study showed the effectiveness of enhancing the self-efficacy program. Therefore, it should be used to enhance self-efficacy of first-time postpartum mothers and to promote successful exclusive breastfeeding. Furthermore, the results can be used as a guideline for further research and study.
