- Abstract
Aim: To assess the association of the average values of breastfeeding self-efficacy scale - short form (BSES-SF) scores with sociodemographic and obstetric variables. Methods: A quantitative, longitudinal, panel-type study, developed in six Basic Family Health Units in the city of Pacatuba-CE, with 50 women. We used the BSES-SF and forms about prenatal and postpartum periods. A descriptive and inferential analysis, with averages comparison tests (Student T / Wilcoxon test) was performed. Results: There was statistical significance between most of the sociodemographic variables and the BSES-SF prenatal and postpartum average scores (p<0.05) and it was possible to find statistical difference in prenatal and postpartum average scores of BSES-SF (p <0.05). Conclusion: There was significant increase in the BSES-SF average scores in the postpartum period, showing greater self-efficacy of women in breastfeeding and the need for action of Family Health Strategy (FHS) professionals with the mother in order to increase the prevalence of breastfeeding.
