Maternal parental self-efficacy is a crucial factor for facilitating the smooth transition into motherhood, particularly for primiparas. The aims of this study were to examine the predictors of maternal parental self-efficacy and its relationship with social support, postnatal depression (PND), and socio-demographic variables of primiparas during the early postnatal period. A descriptive correlational study design was adopted. The instruments, Perceived Maternal Parental Self-Efficacy, Perinatal Infant Care Social Support, and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, were used to collect data from a purposive sample of 122 primiparas on the day of discharge (1-3 days post delivery) in a tertiary public hospital in Singapore. There were significant correlations among maternal parental self-efficacy, social support, and postnatal depression. The main predictors of maternal parental self-efficacy were social support, ethnicity, maternal age, and family income. The maternal parental self-efficacy, social support, and PND should be routinely assessed to provide necessary support to needy mothers.
产妇的育儿自我效能感是促进顺利过渡到母亲角色的关键因素，尤其是对于初产妇而言。本研究的目的是探讨初产妇产后早期育儿自我效能感的预测因素及其与社会支持、产后抑郁（PND）和社会人口学变量之间的关系。采用描述性相关性研究设计。使用“感知产妇育儿自我效能感量表”“围产期婴儿护理社会支持量表”和“爱丁堡产后抑郁量表”，从新加坡一家三级公立医院的122名初产妇出院当天（分娩后1 - 3天）这一有目的抽样样本中收集数据。产妇育儿自我效能感、社会支持和产后抑郁之间存在显著相关性。产妇育儿自我效能感的主要预测因素是社会支持、种族、产妇年龄和家庭收入。应定期评估产妇育儿自我效能感、社会支持和产后抑郁情况，以便为有需要的母亲提供必要的支持。
