Abstract To analysis the self-efficacy correlation factors and countermeasure of neonatal father support breastfeeding. Methods: From March 2021 to January 2024, neonatal 170 fathers in hospital were selected as the study subjects, and a questionnaire survey was conducted on these fathers before the discharge of the neonates. The general data of the neonatal father and mothers were collected. The comprehensive breastfeeding knowledge scale (CBKS), the Iowa infant feeding attitude scale (IIFAS) and the short father breastfeeding support self-efficacy scale form (FBSES-SF) were used to assesses the knowledge of breastfeeding, attitudes towards infant feeding and self-efficacy in breastfeeding support of the fathers. Pearson analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the infant feeding attitudes and the breastfeeding knowledge level of the neonatal fathers and their self-efficacy in support of breastfeeding. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the self-efficacy in support of breastfeeding of the neonatal fathers. Results: 170 neonatal fathers filled in the questionnaire, and the qualified rate was 95.3% (162/170). The scores of FBSES-SF, IIFAS and CBKS of 162 fathers were 49.82±7.14 points, 49.02±5.24 points and 61.14±6.58 points. Univariate analysis showed that the educational level, the couple’s parity, the type of neonates and the neonatal feeding pattern of the fathers before the neonatal discharge were related to their self-efficacy in supporting breastfeeding (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between the infant feeding attitude and the knowledge level of breastfeeding of the neonatal fathers and their self-efficacy in supporting breastfeeding (P<0.05). The low education level, the parity of one, the low infant feeding attitude and the low knowledge level of breastfeeding of the neonatal fathers, and the feeding pattern without breastfeeding before discharge were the influencing factors of the self-efficacy in supporting breastfeeding of the neonatal fathers (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The level of self-efficacy in supporting breastfeeding of the fathers needs to be improved. The targeted intervention strategies should be conducted according to the relevant factors to improve the self-efficacy in supporting breastfeeding of the neonatal fathers in clinical practice.
