Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers Short Form: The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers was created by Dennis et al. to measure fathers' self-efficacy in supporting their spouses in breastfeeding, and its Cronbach's alpha value is 0.92.

Primary outcomes

Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers Short Form

Time frame: up to 12 months

Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale- Short Form (Paternal BSES-SF): Paternal BSES-SF was developed by Dennis et al. (2018) to measure paternal self-efficacy in supporting their wives in breastfeeding and Cronbach's alpha value was 0.92. A Turkish validity-reliability study was conducted by Küçükoğlu (2022) and Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.93. The scale was applied to all fathers with newborn and breastfed infants and consisted of a single dimension with 14 items evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale (1=never 2=sometimes 3=sometimes 4=often 5=always). There are no reverse scored items in the scale. The minimum score to be obtained from the scale is 14 and the maximum score is 70. The cut-off point of the scale has not been determined,higher scores indicate higher confidence.
