Bebeklerin Teknolojik Araçları Kullanmalarıyla İlgili Anne Görüşleri

Bu araştırmanın amacı 0-36 aylık bebeği olan annelerin bebeklerde teknolojik araç kullanımı konusundaki algı ve görüşlerinin incelenmesidir. Bebeklerin günlük yaşantılarında teknolojik araç kullanıp kullanmadığını, annelerin bu araçları hangi amaçla kullandıklarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılan bu araştırmada fenomenoloji deseninden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada 0-36 aylık bebeği olan 8 anne ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda 0-36 ay bebeklerde teknoloji kullanımına ilişkin (1)Amaçlar (2)Faydalar (3) Zararlar (4) Tepkiler ve (5) Çelişkiler olmak üzere beş ana tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Annelerin teknolojik araçları yemek yedirme, sakinleştirme gibi bebek bakım rutinlerinde kullandıklarını, bebekler ve anneler için teknolojik araçların çeşitli yararları olsa da iki yaşından önce bu araçların kullanımının bebekler için zararlı olabileceğini düşündükleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Anneler, teknolojik araçların görüntülü konuşma gibi olanaklar tanımasını yararları arasında olduğunu vurgulanmışlardır. Bebeklerin teknolojik araçlara ilgisinin olduğu ve bu araçları bırakmaları istendiğinde olumsuz tepkiler sergiledikleri anneler tarafından belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca dijital çağda bebekleri teknolojik araçlardan uzak tutmanın mümkün olmadığını bu nedenle annelerin bu araçları bebeklerine verirken çelişkili algılar taşıdıkları saptanmıştır.

Mothers Views about Babies’ Usage of Technological Tools

This study aims to examine the perceptions and views of mothers having babies between 0-36-month-olds about the use of technological tools. A phenomenological research pattern was used to determine whether babies use technological tools in their daily lives and for what purpose mothers use these tools. In the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight mothers with babies between 0-36 months. The content analysis technique was used for analyzing the data. As a result of the study, five main themes emerged: (1)Purposes (2) Benefits (3) Harms (4) Reactions and (5) Contradictions regarding the use of technology in 0-36 month-olds. The results revealed that mothers used technological tools for child care routines such as feeding, calming the baby.Furthermore, although participant mothers find useful for technological tools, they were aware of the risks involve early usage before two years. Participant mothers emphasized that providing opportunities such as live chatting are among the benefits of technological tools. They also stated that babies had an interest in using technological tools, and they displayed adverse reactions when they were asked to give up these tools. Moreover, the mothers recognized the inevitable to keep babies away from technological tools in this digital age, so the mothers carried contradictory perceptions while giving these tools to their babies.
