  • Title: Role of Baby-Friendly Hospital Care in Maternal Role Competence.
    Author: Barabach L, Ludington-Hoe SM, Dowling D, Lotas M.
    Journal: Nurs Womens Health; 2017; 21(2):96-107. PubMed ID: 28389004.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this pilot study was to determine women's perceptions of their levels of maternal role competence at discharge from a Baby-Friendly hospital. A convenience sample of 30 women completed two self-report questionnaires: a demographic questionnaire and the Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy scale. Women report that they perceived high levels of maternal role competence with a mean total score of 69.80 (standard deviation = 6.86) out of 80. As women experience breastfeeding in Baby-Friendly hospitals, maternal role competence may develop with appropriate support.
