Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Family-Centered Maternity Care (FCMC)-based education on breastfeeding self-efficacy and family support among postpartum mothers. A quantitative study with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was conducted. The study involved 52 respondents who were divided into intervention and control groups. Family support was measured using an adapted version of the Nasution Family Support Questionnaire, while breastfeeding self-efficacy was assessed using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form (BSES-SF). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. The findings demonstrated that FCMC-based education significantly improved breastfeeding self-efficacy and family support among postpartum mothers. Statistical analysis showed a significant effect of the intervention on breastfeeding self-efficacy (p = 0.004) and family support (p = 0.000). The results indicate that educational interventions involving family participation can strengthen maternal confidence in breastfeeding and enhance family involvement in postpartum care. Therefore, the implementation of Family-Centered Maternity Care-based education is recommended as an effective strategy to improve maternal and family readiness in supporting successful breastfeeding practices during the postpartum period.
