Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers Short Form	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.
