The period of care for infant is an important phase of parenting. In addition to proper knowledge and skills, a mother, as most significant care taker, needs to have self-efficacy in infant at a high level over time. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of maternal self-efficacy in infant care by using the Belsky’s model of the determinants of parenting as the conceptual framework. The determinants included maternal (age, education, parity, stress), social-contextual (social support), and infant (infant temperament) factors. The sample consisted of 135 mother with their full term infants aged between 4-11 months who came to receive immunization at Samutsakorn Hospital. Data were collected using interviewing and self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression were used for data analysis. The result indicated that all independent variables could explain 32% of the variance in the maternal self-efficacy in infant care. Considering each variable, social support was the most influent predictor (B =.41, p‹.001), followed by parenting stress (B= -.17, p<.05) whereas the remainders could not predict the maternal self-efficacy. The findings suggested that the social support and parenting stress have important effects on maternal self-efficacy. Therefore, nurses should promote family members’ understanding of the mothers’ needs and encourage their involvement in maternal self-efficacy enhancement. Moreover, any nursing activities for stress relief resulting from parenting should be designed and provided to mothers.
