Abstract :
The study was aimed to assess the effectiveness
of Breast-feeding self-efficacy program on Breast feeding
self-efficacy, breast feeding practice and breast
engorgement among primi mothers. The objectives of the
study were to assess the effect of breast-feeding selfefficacy program by comparing the breast-feeding selfefficacy, breast feeding practice and breast engorgement
among primi mothers in control and experimental group,
to find the correlation between breast feeding self-efficacy
and breast-feeding practice among primi mothers, to
determine the correlation between breast feeding selfefficacy and breast engorgement among primi mothers, to
find the association between breast feeding self-efficacy,
breast feeding practice and breast engorgement with
selected demographic and clinical variables , The study
was conducted among 60 primi mothers who have
undergone delivery in Caritas Hospital Kottayam. Quasi
experimental nonequivalent posttest only study design
was used and the subjects were selected by convenient non
random sampling technique. The socio demographic and
obstetrical variables were assessed with a structured
questionnaire, modified breastfeeding self-efficacy scale
was used to assess the breastfeeding self-efficacy, Selfdeveloped observation checklist was used to assess the
breast feeding practice and 6 point self- rated
engorgement scale was used to assess the breast
engorgement. The study revealed that the mean post test
score on breastfeeding self-efficacy among experimental
group was 63.8 and in control group was 50.7(t=6.777,
p=0.000). The mean post test score on breastfeeding
practice among experimental group and control group
was 83.50 and 37.83(t=15.95, p=0.00) respectively. The
mean post test score of experimental group on breast
engorgement was 1.56 and control group was 1.96(t=-
1.241, p=.219).So it is concluded that the breastfeeding
self-efficacy intervention was effective in improving
breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding practice
after delivery. Even though the difference in breast
engorgement score of experimental and control group was
not statistically significant, the experimental group had a
decreased engorgement score which again shows a
positive change
