OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the importance of this association using the Breast Feeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES). METHODS: This prospective study was conducted in 2012 in the Jeanne-de-Flandre maternity department in the Lille University Hospital (France). During their time in the maternity department, breastfeeding mothers who participated in the study completed the BSES, a brief self-assessment of their feelings of self-efficacy relating to breastfeeding. They then received follow-up telephone interviews at 1 and 3 months postpartum. RESULTS: One hundred and forty-nine mothers were included in the study. Breastfeeding rates were 86.5% at 1 month and 60% at 3 months. The BSES score of mothers who continued to breastfeed at 1 and 3 months was significantly higher than the score of mothers who had already weaned their children, with an AUROC of 0.72 at 3 months. This confirmed the reliability of the BSES for predicting adherence to breastfeeding. The BSES score of mothers who had previously breastfed was significantly higher than for those breastfeeding for the first time. The threshold score for the BSES was determined as 116/165. CONCLUSIONS: It is important that mothers who lack confidence in their ability to breastfeed be identified early, whether on the maternity ward or even before this point. The value of BSES-based breastfeeding support intervention needs to be evaluated through randomized trials.Show less >
