Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine whether there is a relationship between the level of defining the security measures taken by mothers to prevent home accidents during the pandemic process and the quality of the parent-child relationship. In addition, it was also examined whether it was related to the education level and employment status of the mothers. The research was created with a quantitative research design and was carried out using the correlation research method, one of the quantitative research methods. At the same time, results using descriptive research techniques are also included. In the study, the "Scale for Mother’s Identification of Safety Measures Against Home Accidents for Children of 0-6 Years Age Group" and the "Parent-Child Relationship Scale" were used as data collection tools. 80 mothers participated in the study. During the pandemic process, the security measures taken by mothers to prevent home accidents were determined to be high. Relationship levels of mothers with their children during the pandemic process were also determined to be high. There was no significant relationship between the level of defining the safety measures taken by mothers to prevent home accidents and the quality of the parent-child relationship. It was found that there is a medium, negative, and significant relationship between the education level of the mothers and the mother-child relationship. It was determined that there was no significant relationship between the working status of mothers and the level of defining the safety measures they took to prevent home accidents and the quality of the parent-child relationship. As a result of the research, it can be stated that the relationship of mothers with their children and the safety importance they take were determined at a high level, that the possible long-term negative effects may not be or may be at a lower level for the mothers and their children in the study group.

COVID-19 Pandemi Sürecinde Annelerin Çocuklarıyla İlişkisi ve Ev Kazalarına Yönelik Tedbir Düzeyleri

Abstract

Araştırmanın amacı, pandemi sürecinde annelerin ev kazalarının önlenmesine yönelik aldıkları güvenlik önlemlerini tanımlama düzeyleriyle, ebeveyn çocuk ilişkisinin niteliği arasında ilişki olup olmadığının, ayrıca ilişki varsa bu ilişki düzeyine annelerin eğitim düzeyi ve çalışma durumlarının etkisinin ne düzeyde olduğunun incelenmesidir. Araştırma, nicel araştırma deseniyle oluşturulmuş ve korelasyon araştırması yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Aynı zamanda betimsel araştırma tekniklerinin kullanıldığı sonuçlara da yer verilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak “0–6 Yaş Çocuklarda Annenin Ev Kazalarına Yönelik Güvenlik Önlemlerini Tanımlama Ölçeği” ile “Ebeveyn-Çocuk İlişkisi Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya 80 anne katılmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde annelerin ev kazalarının önlenmesine yönelik aldıkları güvenlik önlemleri düzeylerinin yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir. Pandemi sürecinde annelerin çocuklarıyla olan ilişki düzeyleri de ilişkinin niteliği de yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir. Annelerin ev kazalarının önlenmesine yönelik aldıkları güvenlik önlemlerini tanımlama düzeyleriyle ebeveyn çocuk ilişkisinin niteliği arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunamamıştır. Annelerin eğitim düzeyleriyle anne-çocuk ilişkisi arasında orta seviyede, negatif ve anlamlı ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Annelerin çalışma durumlarıyla ev kazalarının önlenmesine yönelik aldıkları güvenlik önlemlerini tanımlama düzeyleri ve ebeveyn çocuk ilişkisinin niteliği arasında anlamlı ilişki olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Yapılan araştırma sonucunda annelerin çocuklarıyla ilişkisi ve aldıkları güvenlik önemlerinin yüksek düzeyde tespit edilmiş olması, muhtemel uzun vadeli olumsuz etkilerin çalışma yapılan gruptaki anneler ve çocukları için olmayabileceği ya da daha az düzeyde olabileceği şeklinde ifade edilebilir.
