Abstract：Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of breastfeeding self-efficacy among hospitalized primiparas in Shannan city of Tibet autonomous region.Methods The general questionnaire,breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire,and Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale-Short Form(BSES-SF)were used to examine the breastfeeding situation of primiparous women delivered at Shannan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from October 2022 to July 2023.Generalized linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of breastfeeding self-efficacy.Results A total of 120 hospitalized primiparous women were included.The average score of the breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire was 10.00±3.56,the average score of self-efficacy was 43.43±8.50.Among primiparas hospitalized,22.5％exclusively breastfed,52.5％practiced mixed feeding,and 25.0％used formula feeding.The primipara with higher education levels,natural childbirth,exclusive breastfeeding,and better breastfeeding knowledge had higher self-efficacy of breastfeeding(P＜0.05).Conclusion The overall self-efficacy level of breastfeeding in Shannan city of Tibet autonomous region is low,and the rate of exclusive breastfeeding during hospitalization is low.Targeted measures considering cultural level,delivery method,feeding situation,and breastfeeding knowledge level,combined with the health and economic situation in high-altitude areas should be carried out to effectively improve the self-efficacy and success rate of breastfeeding for primiparous women.
