Background: Maternal self-efficacy is a mother's ability to manage her role. This ability has a positive impact towards children’s safety and development. Knowledge to take care of newborn will increase maternal self-efficacy, especially for primiparous (a woman who is pregnant or gives birth for the first time). Health education may be one effective way, among others, to deliver this knowledge.
Objective: To examine the effect of a health education module called Paket Cerdas Ibu Menyusui/PCIM (translated as breastfeeding smart package) toward self-efficacy of primiparous in caring newborns. The second objective is to examine the corelation between social support and maternal self-efficacy.
Method: This research used a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test for comparing intervention, and a control grup. There were 60 primiparous who became participants which were selected by consecutive sampling techniques. Research instruments were PSES scale for primiparous self-efficacy and PSSP for social support measurement. Data analysis were using paired t-test, independent t-test and Spearman test with significance level or p value <0,05.
Results: PCIM health education module affected maternal self-efficacy score. Respondents received scores of 3,51 before intervention and increased into 5,49 after intervention (p=0,001). The increasement in intervention group was higher than control group (p=0,001). On the other hand, there was not any significant correlation between social supprot and self-efficacy for both groups (p>0,05).
Conclusion: PCIM health education module increases the self-efficacy of primiparous in caring for newborns. But, there is not any correlation between social support and the self-efficacy of primiparous in caring for newborns.
