Abstract

Background

Fathers play a significant role in supporting sustaining exclusive breastfeeding. It is crucial to assess paternal confidence in assisting mothers during breastfeeding.

Research aim

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale- Short Form among Indonesian fathers.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 462 fathers whose wives gave birth to the baby in public hospitals in Indonesia. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were examined using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient. We evaluated the convergent, divergent, predictive, and construct validity.

Results

Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a one-factor structure model with satisfactory fit indices. The Cronbach's alpha (0.96), McDonald's Omega coefficient (0.97), and intraclass correlation coefficient (0.99) indicated an excellent reliability of the scale. The father's breastfeeding self-efficacy was positively correlated with the mother's breastfeeding self-efficacy (r= 0.251, p < .001), and negatively associated with symptoms of depression (r = -0.150, p < .01) and anxiety (r = -0.314, p < .001). We also found a positive correlation between BSES-SF and exclusive breastfeeding at two weeks postpartum (r = 0.538, p < .001). Fathers who were employed and their partner was multipara, had a vaginal birth, practiced skin-to-skin contact and rooming-in, and exclusive breastfeeding were more confident to support their partner's breastfeeding.

Conclusions

The Indonesian version of the paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale- Short Form is a reliable and valid tool for screening and assessing fathers’ confidence in assisting mothers in breastfeeding.

印尼版父亲母乳喂养自我效能感量表（简表）的心理计量学评估：确认性因素分析

研究背景父亲在支持纯母乳喂养方面发挥着重要作用。本研究评估了印度尼西亚父亲的父亲母乳喂养自我效能感量表-简表的心理测量学特性。使用克朗巴赫α和类内相关系数检验了内部一致性和重测可靠性。我们还评估了收敛效度、发散效度、预测效度和建构效度。结果证实性因子分析显示了一个单因子结构模型，拟合指数令人满意。Cronbach'sα（0.96）、McDonald's Omega系数（0.97）和类内相关系数（0.99）表明量表具有良好的信度。父亲的母乳喂养自我效能感与母亲的母乳喂养自我效能感呈正相关（r= 0.251，p <.001），与抑郁症状（r=-0.150，p <.01）和焦虑症状（r=-0.314，p <.001）呈负相关。我们还发现，BSES-SF 与产后两周的纯母乳喂养呈正相关（r = 0.538，p < .001）。结论印尼版父亲母乳喂养自我效能量表简表是一个可靠有效的工具，可用于筛选和评估父亲协助母亲母乳喂养的信心。
