Abstract

Mothers whose babies have problems and are cared for separately make mothers feel less confident about breastfeeding because they think about the health of their babies. Lack of confidence in breastfeeding is a factor in the failure to breastfeed. An instrument is needed to assess the breastfeeding process as a nurse's initial step to establish nursing interventions in nursing mothers. Objective: Apply the use of the LATCH instrument as an initial assessment of breastfeeding so that it can assist nurses in arranging nursing interventions. Methods: case study with implementation based on Evidence Based Nursing Practice: LATCH SCORE was applied to three nursing mothers in two hospital. Results: four breastfeeding mothers were assessed by LATCH SCORE and then intervention was carried out in the form of education and counseling for breastfeeding mothers. Conclusion: This intervention is very effective in assessing position and attachment during breastfeeding, thus helping nurses to tailor interventions according to the needs of the mother. Suggestion: it is hoped that the maternity nurse can carry out a LATCH Score assessment to assist in the assessment and arrange interventions according to the needs of nursing mothers.

Abstract

Background: Father involvement in newborn care is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of infant health and family well-being. In Indonesia, paternal roles in neonatal care are often overlooked, and father-specific educational support remains limited. Understanding fathers’ lived experiences and learning needs is essential for developing effective, culturally appropriate interventions. Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences and educational needs of Indonesian fathers in newborn care. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using a thematic analysis approach. Sixteen fathers of infants aged 0-12 months were recruited through purposive sampling in Jakarta and the surrounding areas. Data were collected in 2024 through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s six-step framework. Trustworthiness was ensured through audit trails, member checking, and peer debriefing. Results: Three major themes emerged: (1) social media as the main source of information, (2) fathers’ practical involvement and learning needs in baby care, and (3) preference for visual and practical learning media. Fathers expressed strong motivation to be involved but faced challenges accessing reliable, father-focused educational content. Their learning preferences were shaped by practicality, time constraints, and the need for culturally relevant materials. Conclusion: Indonesian fathers are eager to participate in newborn care but lack structured educational support tailored to their needs. Pediatric nurses play a critical role in developing father-inclusive, digital, and culturally responsive interventions that enhance paternal self-efficacy and caregiving competence. Future programs should integrate father-focused digital interventions, such as video-based tutorials and podcasts, into pediatric nursing practice to effectively bridge the educational gap.
