Abstract

Background: This study aimed to explore the relationship between social support, breastfeeding success, and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels in adolescent mothers, as well as the factors affecting breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Methods: Following ethical approval, The Socio-Demographic Data Form, the Breast Milk and Breastfeeding Information Form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form Scale (BFSES) and the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Assessment Scale were used to collect data and the study was completed with 163 participants.

Results: The rate of exclusive breastfeeding was found to be 41.1%. Mothers who exclusively breastfed their babies had higher scores on the MSPSS, LATCH, and BFSES scales. Additionally, breastfeeding self-efficacy levels were higher among mothers who initiated breastfeeding within 1 h after birth. The study also found positive correlations between social support, breastfeeding success, and breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Conclusions: In conclusion, social support networks, including partners, mothers, and mothers-in-law, should be incorporated into breastfeeding training programs to help adolescent mothers leverage these resources effectively.

Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

研究背景本研究旨在探讨青少年母亲的社会支持、母乳喂养成功率和母乳喂养自我效能感水平之间的关系，以及影响母乳喂养自我效能感的因素：在获得伦理批准后，本研究使用社会人口学数据表、母乳和母乳喂养信息表、感知社会支持多维量表（MSPSS）、母乳喂养自我效能简表（BFSES）和 LATCH 母乳喂养诊断和评估量表收集数据，共有 163 人参与研究：结果：纯母乳喂养率为 41.1%。纯母乳喂养的母亲在 MSPSS、LATCH 和 BFSES 量表上的得分较高。此外，在婴儿出生后 1 小时内开始母乳喂养的母亲的母乳喂养自我效能水平更高。研究还发现，社会支持、母乳喂养成功率和母乳喂养自我效能感之间存在正相关关系：总之，应将包括伴侣、母亲和婆婆在内的社会支持网络纳入母乳喂养培训计划，以帮助未成年母亲有效利用这些资源：临床试验编号：不适用。

期刊介绍： Reproductive Health focuses on all aspects of human reproduction. The journal includes sections dedicated to adolescent health, female fertility and midwifery and all content is open access. Reproductive health is defined as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system, at all stages of life. Good reproductive health implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. Men and women should be informed about and have access to safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice, and the right to appropriate health-care services that enable women to safely go through pregnancy and childbirth.
