Abstract:

Objective To translate and revise the Father Support Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form（BSES-SF）,and to test its reliability and validity. Methods By using the Brislin translation model to interpret the scale into Chinese,the experts modified it based on Chinese culture and 34 maternal spouses were selected to pre-investigate and modify some items. Clinically,210 postnatal mothers and their spouses were selected to test the reliability and validity of the scale. Results There were 14 items in the Chinese FBSES-SF scale. One factor was extracted after the exploratory factor analysis,and the factor cumulative variance contribution rate was 55.038%. The result of confirmatory factor analysis has showed that the total scale and subscales fitted well with the structure model. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the total scale was 0.935;the half-fold reliability of the total scale was 0.930;the test-retest was 0.811. The Scale-Content Validity Index（S-CVI） was 0.976;the Item-Content Validity Index（I-CVI） ranged from 0.83 to 1.00;the correlation coefficient between each factor ranged from 0.389 to 0.643;the correlation coefficient between each factor and the total score of the scale ranged from 0.633 to 0.798. All of the analysis above showed statistical significance（P<0.01）. Conclusion The Chinese version of FBSES-SF scale is an effective tool for assessing father’s self-confidence in maternal breastfeeding. The scale score can predict the maternal feeding pattern. The low score exhibits a dangerous signal to stop breastfeeding earlier in the postpartum period. It helps clinical experts to increase maternal feeding confidence by intervening the attitudes of new fathers.
