Abstract

The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in infants in Indonesia is still low, at 59.6% compared to the national target of 80%. The low rate of exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by various factors, one of which is husband support. The support provided by husbands, such as expressing love and providing assistance and appreciation to mothers, and the low employment status of mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding, particularly for working mothers, significantly affect breastfeeding practices. This study aims to investigate the correlation between husband support, employment status, and exclusive breastfeeding in the Tanjung Buntung Community Health Center area. The research method employed is descriptive analytics with a Cross-Sectional approach. The study population consists of mothers with infants aged 0-6 months, with purposive sampling used to select 60 respondents. The bivariate test results reveal a significant correlation between husband support and exclusive breastfeeding (p-value=0.001) and a significant correlation between employment status and exclusive breastfeeding (p-value=0.001). In conclusion, this research indicates a relationship between husband support, the mother's employment status, and exclusive breastfeeding in infants. Recommendations for healthcare professionals include providing continuous education to husbands to support mothers in the breastfeeding process and encouraging breastfeeding mothers to maintain exclusive breastfeeding practices.
