Sažetak
Abstract The aim was to examine the incidence of breastfeeding difficulties and the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the maternity hospital and their relationship with breastfeeding self-efficacy. The study included a cohort sample of 772 women who gave birth at Clinical Hospital “Sv. Duh”, Croatia, between November 2010 and January 2011. In-hospital breastfeeding mothers completed questionnaire that included selected demographic data, breastfeeding difficulties during the first 48 hours after birth, and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF). Data on newborn feeding were collected from the medical records. The chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used on statistical analysis. Breastfeeding difficulties were reported by 450 (58.3%) mothers. The BSES-SF scores were significantly correlated to the number of breastfeeding difficulties (rS= -0.33, p < 0.001). Mothers with low breastfeeding self-efficacy often reported breastfeeding difficulties (64.4% vs. 36.5%, p<0.001) and were significantly more likely to breastfed partially compared to mothers with high breastfeeding self-efficacy (69.5% vs. 30.5%, p<0.001). Difficulties with breastfeeding technique, sore and cracked nipples, engorgement and perceived insufficient milk supply were more often reported by mothers with low breastfeeding self-efficacy compared to mothers with high breastfeeding self-efficacy. Results indicated that the mothers with low breastfeeding self-efficacy had an increased risk of experiencing breastfeeding difficulties and cessation of exclusive breastfeeding during the maternity hospital stay. This study provides further support that breastfeeding self-efficacy significantly influences early breastfeeding outcomes.
