Abstract

Bu çalışma bebeği yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde(YYBÜ) tedavi gören annelerin anksiyete düzeyleri ve aile merkezli bakım alma durumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tasarımda yapılmıştır. Ocak-Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nin doğusunda bulunan biri üniversite diğeri devlet hastanesi olmak üzere iki ayrı hastanenin YYBÜ’ nde yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanması için Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Spielberg Durumluk ve Süreklik Kaygı Ölçeği, Yenidoğan Aile Merkezli Bakım Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Annelerin durumluk kaygı düzeyi puan ortalamaları 41.51±9.6, süreklik kaygı düzeyi puan ortalamaları 40.31±7.7 olup orta düzeyde kaygı yaşadıkları saptanmıştır. Yenidoğan aile merkezli bakım ölçeğinin toplam puan ortalaması 3.7±0.7(min 1-max 5) ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları; itibar ve saygı 4.0±0.7, bilgi paylaşımı 3.9±0.8, bakıma katılım 4.0±0.8 ve aile ile iş birliği 3.3±1.1 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Annelerin aile merkezli bakım ölçeği toplam puan ve alt boyut puan ortalaması ile durumluk ve süreklik kaygı düzeyleri arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir(p<0.05). Bebeği YYBÜ’nde tedavi gören annelerin aile merkezli bakım alma durumları artmakta ve anlamlı olarak kaygı puanları azalmaktadır.

Evaluation of Anxiety Levels and Family-Centred Care Receipt Status among Turkish Mothers with Babies Admitted to the Neonatal Unit: A Two-Centre Study

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the anxiety levels and family-centred care receipt status of mothers whose babies were treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This research was conducted in a descriptive and cross-sectional design between January and December 2022 in the NICU of two separate hospitals, one of which is a university hospital, and the other is a public hospital located in the east of Turkey. An Introductory Information Form, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Newborn Family-Centred Care Scale were used to collect data. The mothers’ state anxiety level mean score was 41.51±9.6, their trait anxiety level mean score was 40.31±7.7, and they experienced a moderate level of anxiety. The total mean score of the Newborn Family-Centred Care Scale was 3.7±0.7 (min 1-max 5). Mean scores from the subscales were 4.0±0.7 for dignity and respect, 3.9±0.8 for information sharing, 4.0±0.8 for participation in care, and 3.3±1.1 for cooperation with the family. A significant negative relationship was found between the mothers’ family-centred care scale total score and mean subscale scores and their state and trait anxiety levels (p <0.05). The mothers whose babies are treated in the NICU received more family-centred care, and their anxiety scores decreased significantly.
