Abstract

Breast milk is the best food for babies because it contains complete nutrition and protects against various diseases. Even though the benefits are great, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still low, including in Kalimantan Selatan Province which has not yet reached the national target by 2023, it has only reached 58%. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Banjarmasin City is 67.6% and in the Alalak Community Health Center it is 75.2%. %. Based on preliminary studies, low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is related to mothers' low self-confidence in breastfeeding and lack of family support is often the main obstacle at the Puskesmas Alalak Selatan. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family support, breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding at the Puskesmas Alalak Selatan. Methode: This research uses correlational research with a cross-sectional approach, the population in this research is 85 respondents taken using purposive sampling technique. This research was conducted from July to December 2024. The independent variables in this research were family support and breastfeeding self-efficacy and family support while the dependent variable was exclusive breastfeeding. Data collection uses a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank test. Results: The results of this study showed that of the 85 respondents, 42.4% gave exclusive breastfeeding and 57.6%. Based on bivariate analysis, there is a significant relationship between family support and exclusive breastfeeding (P=0.000) and there is a significant corelation between breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding (P=0.000). Conclusion: The stronger corelation between family support and breastfeeding self-efficacy, the better the exclusive breastfeeding at Puskesmas Alalak Selatan
