Adolesan Annelerin İlk Emzirme Deneyimleri: Nitel Bir Çalışma

DOI:10.17681/hsp.470571Amaç: Çalışma, adolesan annelerin ilk emzirme deneyimlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya başlamadan önce etik kurul onayı ve kurum izni alınmıştır. Nitel bir araştırma olarak yapılandırılan çalışmanın evrenini, Sakarya ilinde bir Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde Kasım 2014-Şubat 2015 tarihleri arasında polikliniğe gelen 19 yaşını doldurmamış gönüllü adolesan annelerin tamamı,  örneklemini ise çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden, kronik hastalığı ve iletişim problemi olmayan, primipar olan 13 anne oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama esnasında katılımcılara çalışmanın amacı açıklanmış, tüm verilerin güvenle korunacağı konusunda bilgi verilerek, katılımcılardan yazılı onamları alınmıştır. Çalışmada demografik verilerin toplanmasında, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Görüşmede gebelere “Lütfen, ilk emzirme deneyimlerinizi bize anlatır mısınız?” sorusu sorularak başlanmış ve adolesan annelerin verdikleri yanıtlar iki araştırmacı (DM ve DG) tarafından not edilmiştir. Görüşmeler hastanede bir odada gerçekleştirilmiş, araştırmacılar ve anne dışında hiç kimse odaya alınmamıştır. Görüşmeler yaklaşık 45 dakika sürmüştür. Görüşme esnasında araştırmacılar anneyi yönlendirmemeye özen göstermiştir. Başlangıçta belli bir anne sayısı hedeflenmemiş, annelerin görüş ve uygulamaları birbirinin tekrarlayıp, değişik görüşler çıkmadığı izlenimi edilene kadar çalışma sürdürülmüştür. Görüşmeler 4 aylık bir zaman diliminde tamamlanmıştır.  Elde edilen verilerin içerik analizi, araştırmacılar tarafından yapılarak,  ana temalar belirlenmiş ve yorumlanmıştır.  Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan annelerin yaş ortalaması 18,30±0,85 olup, annelerin % 84,6’sı (n=11) ilköğretim mezunu olduğunu, %92,3’ü (n=12) çalışmadığını ve  %69,2’si (n=9) doğumunun normal olduğunu ifade etti.   Görüşme sırasında elde edilen verilerin analizi sonrasında oluşturulan temalar; “annelik duygusunda belirsizlik ve karmaşa”, “emzirme ve anne sütünün yararları ile ilgili algıda eksiklik”, “emzirme niyeti”, “ilk emzirmede yaşananlar”, “emzirme ile ilgili sosyal ve profesyonel destek gereksinimine ilişkin görüşlerdir. Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda adolesan annelerin anneliğe yeterince hazır olmadıkları ve ilk emzirme deneyimlerinde de daha fazla desteğe gereksinim duydukları görüldü.
