BSES-SF

Introduction The gathering of health and quality-of-life issues that matter most to patients over so-called patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is a key aspect of patient-centered healthcare. In obstetrics, this approach has the potential to expand the current understanding of what quality entails by including patient perspectives. The International Consortium for Health Outcome Measures (ICHOM), founded in 2012, is a global organization which aims to standardise the collection of PROs and make the results comparable worldwide...

Introduction: It is well established that low breastfeeding self-efficacy is associated with early breastfeeding cessation. Over the past several decades, expressed human milk feeding has increased among parents of healthy infants. Researchers have hypothesized an association between maternal breastfeeding confidence and expressed human milk feeding, but it has not been empirically examined. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to assess the associations between breastfeeding self-efficacy and human milk expression practices...

INTRODUCTION: The observation of a feeding by a professional is important to strengthen breastfeeding. The Bristol Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (BBAT) was translated into Spanish and validated. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Translation and back-translation of the original scale was done. Six pediatricians and six pediatric nurses collaborated. At the newborn's first visit, a feeding was observed and the pediatrician and nurse scored the BBAT scale independently. The nurse also scored the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment (LATCH) and each mother filled out the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES-SF)...

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of breastfeeding educational intervention given in the antenatal period on LATCH and breastfeeding self-efficacy scores. METHOD: A total of 80 pregnant who met the research criteria were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 40) or control (n = 40) groups. Pregnant women received to the control group received only standard care while breastfeeding education was accepted to the intervention group along with standard care. Both groups were visited at their home, and the personal data form, the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) were applied in the postpartum 1st week...

BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding self-efficacy as a construct has been theoretically and empirically linked to exclusive breastfeeding in studies globally using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF). However, its application in the Middle East and North Africa region is limited, as it has not been validated. RESEARCH AIMS: To psychometrically validate the BSES-SF among a sample of mothers in the United Arab Emirates. METHODS: We psychometrically evaluated the Arabic version of the BSES-SF using a sample of mothers ( N = 457) residing in the United Arab Emirates...

INTRODUCTION: The most widely used tool for assessing breastfeeding self-efficacy is the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF). This study assesses the relationship between the BSES-SF score and the risk of breastfeeding (BF) cessation and determines the cut-off point in the scale score that optimizes detection of this risk in primary health care pediatric consultations. METHODS: Secondary data analysis of the LAyDI study. Cohort study carried out through a research network of primary care pediatricians (PAPenRed)...

BACKGROUND: Only 61% of Malawian women exclusively breastfeed to the recommended 6 months. Paternal support is predictive of exclusive breastfeeding, and significantly related to paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, defined as fathers' confidence in their ability to assist mothers with breastfeeding. RESEARCH AIMS: To (1) examine the psychometric properties of the Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) in Malawian fathers, including internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, construct validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and convergent validity; and (2) assess the relationship between the BSES-SF and paternal demographic and health factors...

AIM: This study aimed at monitoring breastfeeding behaviors in primiparous mothers with risky and non-risky age groups prospectively. METHOD: This is a kind of comparative and prospective study that was carried out in 306 mothers who were registered at seven family health centers. The study sample comprised 68 primiparous mothers who were in the risky age group and 238 primiparous mothers who were not in the risky age group. It was interviewed with the mothers twice when their babies were one and six months old...

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to determine the effect of breastfeeding support through social media on women's breastfeeding self-efficacy. METHODS: A randomised controlled trial was conducted in the maternity unit of Aksaray University Education and Research Hospital, Turkey. Education and counselling on breastfeeding were given via WhatsApp to women in the intervention group. Women in the control group received routine breastfeeding teaching before discharge from hospital...

INTRODUCTION: While breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSES) is an important modifiable determinant of breastfeeding, a structured assessment is not standard practice in Cyprus. We assessed the Greek version of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES-SF), including its predictive validity in terms of Breastfeeding (BF) and Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) up to the sixth month. METHODS: A methodological study with longitudinal design among 586 mother-infant dyads, as part of the "BrEaST Start in Life" project...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The relationship between prior breastfeeding experience and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding is of significant interest, but few studies have explored the mechanisms underlying this relationship. The purpose of this study is to address two hypotheses: (a) that attitude and self-efficacy mediate the relationship between previous breastfeeding experience and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding; and (b) that attitude and self-efficacy have serial mediation functions in this relationship...

OBJECTIVE: The study was aimed at investigating the association between postpartum women's breastfeeding self-efficacy levels and their depression levels, social support levels, and breastfeeding attitudes in early postpartum period. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was carried out in Kirklareli in Turkey. The population of the study consisted of 398 women aged 15-49 in the first 42 days of the postpartum period who presented to eight family health centers. The study data were collected face-to-face using the Personal Information Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Breastfeeding Attitudes of the Evaluation Scale (BAES)...

Background: Despite the cultural sanctity and elevation of breastfeeding practices, nearly one in two Indian women nationwide are unable to practice exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). Early identification of mothers at risk of reduced breastfeeding through a suitable instrument can enable targeted interventions for breastfeeding support. Objectives: We conducted this study with the objectives of translation into Hindi and to psychometrically test the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) and to ascertain the sociodemographic and other correlates of breastfeeding self-efficacy...

AIM: This study aimed to determine the impact of laser surgical tongue-tie, lip-tie, buccal tie release on breastfeeding and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in a prospective cohort study conducted from June 2019 to June 2020 in a private general dental practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Preoperative, one-week and one-month postoperative surveys were completed, consisting of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for nipple pain severity, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF), and the Revised Infant Gastroesophageal Reflux Questionnaire (I-GERQ-R)...

OBJECTIVES: To assess the Efficacy of Frenotomy with regard to Breastfeeding and Reflux Improvement (BRIEF) in infants with breastfeeding problems. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cohort of 175 consecutive breastfeeding women with breastfeeding and reflux problems related to a tongue-tie or lip-tie fulfilling the inclusion criteria was longitudinally followed for 6 months. The effect of frenotomy on these problems was studied by a standardized oral assessment and completing the validated Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form (BSES-SF), nipple pain score (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS), and Infant Gastroesophageal Reflux Questionnaire Revised (I-GERQ-R) questionnaires pre-frenotomy and at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months' post frenotomy...

BACKGROUND: One of the most important factors that affects breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusivity is breastfeeding support provided by the family. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of breastfeeding education sessions for primiparous women, with and without the attendance of maternal grandmothers, on breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding patterns. METHODS: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 64 primiparous women who referred to the Antenatal Clinic of Amiralmomenin Hospital, Tehran, Iran from June to December, 2018...

OBJECTIVE: Preterm mother-infant dyads face more challenges than healthy term infants in breastfeeding initiation and continuation due to maternal health status, preterm infant's immaturity or comorbidities, and breastfeeding policy of the neonatal units. Breastfeeding self-efficacy affects breastfeeding outcomes in preterm infants. No specific instrument in Chinese is available to assess maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy of preterm infants. This study aims to assess the psychometric characteristics of the modified Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) among Chinese mothers of preterm infants...

Background/Objective: Many studies have focused on the effects of previous breastfeeding experience (PBE) on subsequent breastfeeding, but few have explored their specific relationships. To explain the relationship between PBE and subsequent breastfeeding behavior based on a follow-up study. Materials and Methods: After delivery, 394 participants who had no PBE completed a demographic questionnaire, breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, the breastfeeding self-efficacy short-form scale (BSES-SF), and the Iowa infant feeding attitudes scale (IIFAS)...
