Predictors of knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy towards complementary feeding among mothers.
CF self-efficacy
β: *p<0.05, significant values.95% confidence intervals. Abbreviations: ANC, antenatal care.Regarding CF attitude, child sex (β = 1.71, p = 0.021) and the number of ANC visits (0.78, p = 0.01) were significant predictors. Having a female child is associated with a 1.71-fold increase in attitude and an increase in the number of ANC visits in one unit, which increases maternal CF attitude by 0.78. Family size (β = -0.28, p = 0.008) and household food security status (β = -1.49, p = 0.005) were significant predictors of maternal CF self-efficacy. On the other hand, as the family size increases within one unit, self-efficacy is reduced by a factor of 0.28 and living in a food-insecure household is associated with a 1.49-fold decrease in the level of self-efficacy.
