Üniversite Son Sınıf Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Eğitimleri Süresince Emzirme Konusunda Edindikleri Bilgi ve Deneyimler

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı lisans eğitimi yapan dört hemşirelik okulunun mezun konumdakiöğrencilerinin, emzirme konusundaki bilgi düzeylerini ve uygulamalarını belirlemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Araştırmanın evrenini dört üniversiteninhemşirelik lisans programı mezun konumunda olan 261 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Evrenin%90.8’ine ulaşılmıştır. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen soru formu aracılığıyla,yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır.Bulgular: Öğrencilerin emzirme bilgi puan ortalaması 38.8±3.5 (toplam 50 puan)’dir. Emzirmekonusu alt boyutlarından anne sütünün içeriği ve emzirme alt boyutu puan ortalaması9.8±2.1, etkili emzirme davranışı alt boyutu puan ortalaması 9.2±2.7, anne sütünün faydalarıalt boyutu puan ortalaması 4.4±0.9, laktasyon fizyolojisi alt boyutu puan ortalaması 6.0±1.1,meme bakımı alt boyutu puan ortalaması 4.2±1.3 olarak saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %97.5’ieğitimleri boyunca en az bir defa emzirme danışmanlığı, %72.2’si ise meme bakımı yapmıştır.Öğrencilerin %97’si emzirme bilgisi, %96.5’i emzirme danışmanlığı yapma konusundakendisini yeterli bulduğunu ifade etmiştir. Öğrencilerin mezun oldukları okulların eğitimmodeli ve danışmanlık sayısına göre bilgi puan ortalamaları bakımından gruplar arasındakifark istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmuştur (p<0.05).Sonuç: Çalışma bulguları, çalışmanın yürütüldüğü okulların ders programında emzirmekonusuna yönelik verilen teorik ve uygulamalı eğitimin iyi düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir.

A total of 90.8% of the eligible population was reached. Thedata were collected via face-to-face interview method through a questionnaire developed byresearchers.Results: The mean knowledge score of the students was 38.8±3.5 (total 50 points). The meanscores on the sub-dimensions were as follows: 9.8±2.1 in the content of breast milk andbreastfeeding, 9.2±2.7 in the effective breastfeeding behavior, 4.4±0.9 in the benefits of breastmilk, 6.0±1.1 in the physiology of lactation, and 4.2±1.3 in breast care. Whereas 97.5% of thestudents had provided lactation consultation at least once during their education, 72.2% ofthem had provided breast care. The students found the consultation and breast care they hadprovided sufficient by 97% and 96.5% respectively. It was found that there was a significantdifference between groups in terms of mean knowledge scores according to the educationmodel of the school and the number of consultancy (p<0.05).Conclusions: The study findings show that the schools in which the study was conducted havea curriculum that ensures a commendable theoretical and practical educational process forbreastfeeding.
