Abstract

Objective: This study aimed at determining the impact of mothers' postnatal sense of security on their breastfeeding self-efficacy and postpartum depression. Method: An analytical cross-sectional study was designed. The study included a total of 340 puerperal women who were admitted to the puerperal ward of a state hospital located in southern Turkey. The data for this study were collected using the puerperal women information sheet (PWIS), the Mothers’ Postnatal Sense of Security Scale (MPSSS), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF). Results: It was determined that the mean age of the participants was 27.92 ± 5.12, educational background 40.2% of them were undergraduate and higher graduates, 71.1% of them were not working. The mean scale scores of the mothers were 47.86 ± 10.36 for MPSSS, 53.69 ± 11.23 for BSES-SF, and 8.79 ± 5.67 for EPDS. The sub-scale scores for MPSSS were as follows: Empowering behaviors: 16.75 ± 5.1, General well-being: 11.18 ± 3.49, Affinity Within the Family: 11.82 ± 3.4, and Breastfeeding: 8.11 ± 2.53. Empowering behaviors scores were found to be moderately positively correlated with Affinity Within the Family, Breastfeeding, and BSES-SF scores (p<0.05). Additionally, General Well-Being scores showed a statistically significant moderate positive correlation with Affinity Within the Family, MPSSS, and EPDS scores (p<0.05).Conclusion: The results revealed that mothers’ higher postnatal sense of security positively affects their breastfeeding self-efficacy and reduces the risk of postpartum depression.

Annenin Doğum Sonu Güvenlik Hissinin Emzirme Öz Yeterliliğine ve Postpartum Depresyon Durumuna Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, annenin doğum sonu güvenlik hissinin emzirme öz yeterliliğine ve postpartum depresyon durumuna etkisini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Analitik-kesitsel türde planlanan bu araştırma Türkiye'nin güneyinde bulunan bir kamu hastanesine başvuran 340 lohusa üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Veriler, Kişisel Tanıtım Formu, Annelerin Doğum Sonu Güvenlik Hisleri Ölçeği (ADSGHÖ, Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon (EDSDÖ) ve Emzirme Öz-Yeterlilik Ölçeği (EÖYÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 27.92 ± 5.12, eğitim durumu eğitim durumu % 40.2' sinin lisans ve üstü mezunu olduğu, % 71.1'inin çalışmadığı belirlenmiştir. Annelerin ADSGHÖ ölçek puanı ortalaması 47.86 ± 10.36, EÖY ölçek puanı ortalaması 53.69 ± 11.23, EPDÖ ölçek puanı ortalaması 8.79 ± 5.67 olduğu, ADSGHÖ ölçeği alt boyutları; Güçlendirici Davranış 16.75 ± 5.1, Genel İyilik 11.18 ± 3.49, Aileye Bağlılık 11.82 ± 3.4, Emzirme 8.11 ± 2.53 olarak bulunmuştur. Güçlendirici davranış puanı ile aileye bağlılık, emzirme ve EÖY puanı arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Genel iyilik puanı ile aileye bağlılık, ADSGHÖ, ve EPDÖ puanı arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05).Sonuçlar: Annenin doğumu sonu güvenlik hissi arttıkça, emzirme öz yeterlilik duygusu pozitif yönde etkilendiği ve doğum sonu postpartum deprasyon riskini azalttığı belirlenmiştir.
