| description | Promotion and monitoring of breastfeeding require reliable and valid instruments that allow studying the engagement of itself. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-17) for the assessment of engagement in breastfeeding practices among 324 postpartum Argentinian women. The UWES-17, BreastfeedingSelf-Efficacy Scale, Postpartum Depression Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire were applied. Moreover, reliability, validity, dimensionality, sensitivity, and specificity were analyzed. The UWES-17 demonstrated adequate levels of internal consistency, and its three-dimensional structure was confirmed. Bifactorial analysis supported its usage, and the model verified its external validity. The results validate the UWES-17 as a valid and reliable tool for assessing breastfeeding engagement, thus making it suitable for implementation in clinical and scientific contexts to support interdisciplinary approaches to breastfeeding. |

La promoción y el seguimiento de la lactancia materna necesita contar con instrumentos fiables y válidos que permitan estudiar el grado de compromiso con el amamantamiento. El objetivo fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Compromiso de Utrecht (UWES-17) para evaluar el compromiso en la práctica del amamantamiento en 324 mujeres puérperas argentinas. Se utilizaron los instrumentos UWES-17, Escala de Autoeficacia para la Lactancia Materna, Escala de Depresión Postparto y cuestionario sociodemográfico. Se analizaron la fiabilidad, validez, dimensionalidad, sensibilidad y especificidad. El UWES-17 mostró niveles adecuados de consistencia interna y se confirmó su estructura tridimensional. El análisis bifactorial confirmó su utilidad y el modelo comprueba su validez externa. Los hallazgos confirman que el UWES-17 es un instrumento válido y fiable para la medición del compromiso en el amamantamiento, ya que puede ser utilizado en el ámbito clínico y científico para el abordaje interprofesional de la lactancia humana.
