Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Pada Ibu Primipara dan Multipara

Introduction

Breastfeeding self efficacy pada ibu primipara dan multipara. Temukan perbedaan Breastfeeding Self Efficacy (BSE) pada ibu primipara vs. multipara. Studi menunjukkan ibu multipara memiliki BSE lebih tinggi berkat pengalaman menyusui sebelumnya.

Abstract

Breastfeeding Self Efficacy (BSE) adalah keyakinan seorang ibu tentang kemampuan dirinya untuk menyusui bayinya. Hal ini mencakup informasi seperti berapa banyak usaha yang dilakukan, apakah ibu memilih untuk menyusui atau tidak, apakah ibu memiliki kemampuan untuk meningkatkan atau tidak, dan bagaimana ibu menangani masalah emosional yang berkaitan dengan menyusui. Salah satu hal yang mempengaruhi breastfeeding self efficacy yakni pencapaian kinerja seperti pengalaman menyusui dimasa lalu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan breastfeeding self efficacy pada ibu primipara dan multipara. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif komparatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan cress sectional. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 50 ibu post partum dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen baku yakni kuesioner Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Short Form. Analisis yang digunakan ialah independent sample T test. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa nilai mean BSE pada ibu primipara adalah 48,64 sedangkan pada ibu multipara, didapatkan mean BSE adalah 61,52 dengan p value 0,00 < alpha 0,05 artinya Ho ditolak. Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada BSE ibu primipara dan multipara. Breastfeeding Self Efficacy (BSE) pada ibu multipara lebih tinggi dibandingkan ibu primipara. Pengalaman menyusui sebelumnya menjadi faktor utama yang meningkatkan keyakinan diri ibu multipara dalam menyusui. Kata kunci: Breastfeeding self efficacy; ibu postpartum; paritas

Review

This paper investigates the crucial topic of Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy (BSE) among primiparous and multiparous mothers, a subject of significant importance given its impact on successful breastfeeding initiation and continuation. The study clearly articulates its objective: to determine if there are differences in BSE based on parity. By defining BSE and highlighting past breastfeeding experience as a key influencing factor, the abstract effectively sets the stage for its exploration, providing a robust rationale for the research. The use of a standardized instrument, the Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Short Form questionnaire, is a strength that enhances the reliability of the data collected. The methodology employed a descriptive comparative, cross-sectional design, utilizing a purposive sample of 50 postpartum mothers. The data analysis, an independent sample T-test, was appropriately chosen for comparing the mean BSE scores between the two groups. The findings are presented clearly and concisely: multiparous mothers exhibited significantly higher BSE (mean 61.52) compared to primiparous mothers (mean 48.64), with a statistically significant p-value of 0.00. This clear result strongly supports the hypothesis that parity plays a significant role in a mother's confidence in her ability to breastfeed. The conclusion, that previous breastfeeding experience is a primary factor enhancing self-confidence in multiparous mothers, is well-supported by the data. This insight has practical implications for maternal-child health interventions, suggesting that primiparous mothers may benefit from targeted support and education to build their confidence. While the study provides valuable insights, potential limitations include the relatively small sample size of 50, which might affect the generalizability of the findings, and the purposive sampling method. Future research could expand on this by employing larger, more diverse samples, considering longitudinal designs to track BSE changes over time, and exploring specific interventions designed to boost BSE in first-time mothers.
