ANNELERİN COVID-19 KORKU DÜZEYLERİ İLE BEBEK BAKIM DAVRANIŞLARI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Amaç: Oldukça karmaşık olan ve birçok değişkenden etkilenen ebeveynlik rolünü günümüzde etkileyen durumlardan biri de yaşadığımız pandemi sürecidir. Yapılan çalışmalar, pandemi döneminde gebelik ve doğum sonrası kadınların yalnızlık duyguları, belirsizliğe bağlı stres ve sosyal destek eksikliği ve bilginin doğruluğu ile ilgili endişelerin eşlik ettiği yüksek oranlarda depresif belirti ve anksiyete yaşadığını göstermektedir. Bu araştırmada annelerin COVID-19 korku düzeyleri ile bebek bakım davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek amaçlandı. Yöntem: Kesitsel türde yürütülen araştırma Haziran-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında Google forms üzerinden online veri toplama yöntemi ile gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın örneklemi evreni bilinmeyen örnek büyüklüğü hesaplama formülü kullanılarak Open Epi programı hesaplama aracı ile hesaplandı (%90 Güven düzeyinde, %85 görülme sıklığı ve %5 yanılgı ile n=138). Çalışmaya 0-6 ay arası çocuğa sahip olan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 152 anne dahil edildi. Veri toplama araçları olarak tanıtıcı özellikler soru formu, COVID-19 korkusu ölçeği, doğum sonu bağlanma ölçeği ve postpartum dönemde annelerin bebek bakımı ile ilgili obsesif ve kompulsif davranışları ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Annelerin yaş ortalaması 30.24±4.47’dir. Annelerin COVID-19 korku ölçeği puan ortalamaları 20.50±6.69, postpartum dönemde annelerin bebek bakımı ile ilgili obsesif ve kompulsif davranışları ölçek puan ortalamaları 30.40±7.99, doğum sonrası bağlanma ölçeği ölçek puan ortalamaları 9.90±8.15 olarak saptandı. Annelerin COVID-19 geçirme durumu, pandemi sürecinde emzirmenin etkilenme durumu ile COVID-19 korkusu ölçek puan ortalaması arasında, gebeliğinde sağlık problemi yaşama durumu ile doğum sonu bağlanma ölçeği puan ortalaması arasında ve eğitim durumu ve çalışma durumu ile obsesif-kompulsif davranışları ölçek puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark olduğu tespit edildi (p

Objective: One of the situations that affect the role of parenting, which is quite complex and affected by many variables, is the pandemic process we live in. Studies show that during the pandemic period, pregnant and postpartum women experience high rates of depressive symptoms and anxiety accompanied by feelings of loneliness, stress due to uncertainty and lack of social support, and concerns about the accuracy of information. With this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between the COVID-19 fear levels of mothers and their infant care behaviors. Method: The cross-sectional study was carried out between June and December 2021 by online data collection method via Google forms. The sample population of the study was calculated with the Open Epi program calculation tool using the unknown sample size calculation formula. (90% Confidence level, 85% incidence and 5% error, n=138). A total of 152 mothers who had children aged 0-6 months and agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. As data collection tools, the introductory characteristics questionnaire, the fear of COVID-19 scale, the postpartum attachment scale and the obsessive and compulsive behaviors of mothers about baby care in the postpartum period were used. Results: The mean age of the mothers was 30.24±4.47. COVID-19 fear scale mean scores of mothers were 20.50±6.69, mothers' obsessive and compulsive behaviors related to baby care in the postpartum period, 30.40±7.99, postpartum attachment scale mean score was determined as 9.90±8.15. It was determined that there was a significant difference between some socio-demographic characteristics of the mothers and the scale mean scores. There were statistically significant differences between the mothers' having COVID-19, the state of being affected by breastfeeding during the pandemic and the mean score of the fear of COVID-19 scale, the state of having health problems during pregnancy and the postpartum attachment scale mean score, and the education and employment status and the mean score of obsessive-compulsive behaviors (p
