EVALUATION OF MOTHERS' SELF EFFICACY AND POSTPARTUM SENSE OF SECURITY

Abstract

Aim: A sense of security is a key element that can influence the journey to become a successful parent. It is very important for mothers' sense of security in the postpartum period for both their own and the baby's health. With this study, it was aimed to evaluate mothers' general self-efficacy and postpartum sense of security and to determine what factors affected them.
Methods: The sample of the descriptive study was performed in a university hospital, It constituted 148 mothers who have healthy newborns and have not to develop any complications. The data were collected by Personal Information Form, Mothers' Sense of Security Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale in the postpartum first week. Number, percentage distribution, one-way analysis of variance, two independent samples t-tests were used in the analysis of the data, p <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The average age of the mothers in the study is 29.70 ± 6.23, 33.8% of them are primary school graduates and 93.2% are housewives. The mean score of the postpartum mothers' sense of security was 50.39. A statistically significant difference was found between the mode of delivery, the state of being educated about the postpartum period, the presence of anxiety about one's own health and infant health, and feeling safe after birth. A significant correlation was found between the mean postpartum sense of security scale and the general self-efficacy score.
Conclusion: Mothers who have a cesarean delivery, lack of education about the postpartum period, concern about the baby's health, have lower sense of security in the postpartum period. Based on these results, it is very important for nurses/midwives who are always with the family in the postpartum period to discover the risks that affect the sense of security and to provide effective care.

ANNELERİN ÖZ YETERLİKLERİ VE DOĞUM SONU GÜVENLİK HİSLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Güvenlik hissi, başarılı ebeveyn olma yolculuğunu etkileyebilecek temel bir unsurdur. Annelerin doğum sonu dönemde güvenli hissetmeleri hem kendi hem de bebek sağlığı için çok önemlidir. Bu çalışma ile annelerin doğum sonu genel öz yeterlik ve güvenlik hislerinin değerlendirilmesi ve ne gibi faktörlerden etkilendiğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türde gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın örneklemini bir üniversite hastanesinde doğum yapan, sağlıklı yenidoğana sahip herhangi bir komplikasyon gelişmemiş 148 anne oluşturmuştur. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Annelerin Doğum Sonu Güvenlik Hisleri Ölçeği ve Genel Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği ile elde edilmişir. Verilerin analizinde sayı, yüzdelik dağılım, tek yönlü varyans analizi, bağımsız iki örnek t testi kullanılmış; p<0,05 dikkate alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada yer alan annelerin yaş ortalaması 29.70±6.23 olup, %33.8’i ilk okul mezunudur ve %93.2’ si ev hanımıdır. Annelerin doğum sonu güvenlik hisleri ölçeği puan ortalaması 50.39±8.59 bulunmuştur. Doğum şekli, doğum sonu dönem hakkında eğitim alma durumu, kendi sağlığı ve bebek sağlığı hakkında endişe varlığı ile doğum sonu güvenli hissetme arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Doğum sonu güvenlik hisleri ölçeği puan ortalaması ile genel öz yeterlik puan ortalaması arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon olduğu bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Sezeryan doğum, doğum sonu dönem ile ilgili eğitim eksikliği, bebek sağlığı hakkında endişesi olan annelerin doğum sonu güvenlik hisleri daha düşüktür. Bu sonuç doğrultusunda, doğum sonrası dönemde her zaman ailenin yanında olan hemşire / ebelerin güvenlik hissini etkileyen riskleri keşfetmeleri ve etkili bakım vermeleri çok önemlidir.
