Abstract

BACKGROUND: The failure of exclusive breastfeeding has a big impact on the health of a child. Family social support is a factor that plays a major role in the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding.

AIM: This study aimed to determine the relationship between social-informational support, emotional, instrumental, and family assessment support on exclusive breastfeeding behavior at Talise Health Center, Palu City.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research method was quantitative, with a cross-sectional study design. The population was 70 mothers who have babies aged 7–24 months and live in the Talise Health Center working area. The sampling technique was total sampling. Data analysis was the chi square test with a significance level of p <0.05 using SPSS.

RESULTS: Univariate analysis showed that the dominant age of the mother was 29–37 years (75.7%), bachelor degree education level (85.7%), multiparous parity status (68.6%), and exclusive breastfeeding status (68.6%). The results showed that there was a significant relationship between social-information support (p = 0.042), instrumental (p = 0.013), emotional (p = 0.038), and assessment (p = 0.020) on the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding.

CONCLUSION: Lack of social support from the family, including informational, instrumental, emotional, and assessment, would hinder exclusive breastfeeding behavior and impact on the failure of exclusive breastfeeding.
