Preeklampsili Gebelerde Gebelikle İlişkili Anksiyetenin Prenatal Bağlanmaya Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, preeklampsili gebelerde gebelik anksiyesitesi ile prenatal bağlanma arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikte tasarlanan bu araştırma Türkiye’nin doğusunda bulunan bir Üniversite Hastanesi Kadın Doğum polikliniklerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırma toplam 121 preeklampsili gebe ile yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu, Gebelik Anksiyete Ölçeği ve Prenatal Bağlanma Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada eğitim durumu, gebelik anksiyetesi, preeklampsi düzeyi, gebelik sayısının prenatal bağlanma için önemli yordayıcılar olduğu tespit edilmiştir (R=0.323, R2=0.105, F=11.313, p<0.001) Sonuç: Araştırmamızın sonucunda preeklampsili gebelerde gebelikle ilişkili anksiyetenin prenatal bağlanmanın önemli bir yordayıcısı olduğu bulunmuştur. Ebe ve hemşirelerin özellikle, preeklampsili gebelerde prenatal bağlanmayı olumsuz etkilyebilecek eğitim seviyesi ve gebelik sayısı gibi faktörleri bilmesi, sorunun erken dönemde tanılanmasına olanak sağlayarak, hem kadının, hem bebeğin sağlığının olumsuz yönde etkilenmesini önleyecektir.
