Doğum Sonu Dönemdeki Kadınların Emzirme Tutumları ve Etkileyen Faktörler

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı doğum sonrası dönemdeki kadınların emzirmeye ilişkin tutumlarını incelemek ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma analitik ve kesitsel olarak İzmir’de bir üniversite hastanesinin kadın hastalıkları ve doğum kliniğinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini doğum sonu dönemde olan 218 gönüllü kadın oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verileri; “Birey Tanıtım Formu” ve “Emzirme Tutumu Değerlendirme Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizde; sayı, yüzdelik dağılımları, ortalama, standart sapma, bağımsız gruplarda t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada kadınların yaş ortalaması 27,45±5,98 olup Emzirme Tutumunu Değerlendirme Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 100,38±18,88’dir (Min-max=44-146). Araştırmada, aile tipi, bebeğin cinsiyeti, emzirme ve anne sütü ile ilgili bilgi alma durumu, ilk emzirme zamanı, emzirme sıklığı, planlanan emzirme süresi ve emzik ya da biberon kullanma durumu ile Emzirme Tutumunu Değerlendirme Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farkın olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda kadınların emzirme tutumlarının orta düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Kadınların emzirme tutumlarının bazı sosyo-demografik ve emzirme ile ilgili faktörlerden etkilendiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Kadınlara prekonsepsiyonel dönemden itibaren hemşireler tarafından emzirme tutumlarını etkileyen faktörlere ilişkin eğitim ve danışmanlık verilmesi emzirme tutumlarını olumlu yönde geliştirecektir.

The number and percentage distributions, means, standard deviation, t-test in independent groups, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean age of the women was 27.45±5.98 and the mean score of women Breastfeeding Attitude Evaluation Tool was 100.38±18.88 (Min-max=44-146). It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean of the total score of women Breastfeeding Attitude Evaluation Tool and family type,the gender of the baby, information about breastfeeding and breast milk, the time of first breastfeeding, the frequency of breastfeeding, the duration of planned breastfeeding and the use of a nipple or bottle (p< 0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was found that the breastfeeding attitudes of women were moderate. It was concluded that the breastfeeding attitudes of women were affected by some socio-demographic and breastfeeding characteristics. Training by nurses on the factors affecting breastfeeding attitudes from the preconception period to women will improve their breastfeeding attitudes positively.
