Investigation of the Relationship between the Satisfaction of the Mothers with Preterm Baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Experienced Problems in Transition from the Hospital to the Home: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract

Background: The period of staying at hospital and transition to home is a critical moment for parents of preterm babies which are staying in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Objectives: This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the satisfaction of mothers with preterm infants in the NICU and the problems they experienced in the transition from hospital to home. Materials and Methods: The study, which was planned as a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study, was conducted with 200 mothers with preterm infants hospitalized in the NICU of a training and research hospital in İstanbul. The data has been collected between April 2021 and April 2022 using the Introductory Information Form, Preterm Newborn Introductory Information Form, EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care (EMPATHIC-30) questionnaire, and Transition to Home: Preterm Parental Scale (TH:PES). Data is evaluated with the SPSS program using independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation analysis, percentages,, and averages. Results: The mean score for EMPATIC-30 scale is 5.41±0.34, TH: PES is 73.82±8.31There was no significant relationship between the EMPATHIC-30 scale and TH: PES (r=-.06; p .331). A statistically significant and negative correlation was found between the care-treatment sub-dimension of the EMPATHIC-30 scale and the TH: PES anxiety and isolation dimension (r=-.156; p=.028). Conclusion: A relationship was not found between the satisfaction of mothers with preterm babies hospitalized in the NICU and the problems they experienced during the transition from hospital to home.

Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesinde Preterm Bebeği Yatan Annelerin Memnuniyetleri ile Hastaneden Eve Geçişte Yaşadıkları Sorunlar Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Giriş: Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesinde (YYBÜ) preterm bebeği yatan ebeveynler için hastanedeki yatış ve eve geçiş dönemi kritik bir zamandır. Amaç: Bu çalışma yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde preterm bebeği yatan annelerin memnuniyetleri ile hastaneden eve geçişte yaşadıkları sorunlar arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve ilişki arayıcı olarak planlanan araştırma, İstanbul ilinde bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin YYBÜ’nde preterm bebeği yatan 200 anne ile yapılmıştır. Veriler Nisan 2021- Nisan 2022 tarihleri arasında “Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu”, “Preterm Yenidoğan Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu”, “Yenidoğanda Ebeveynlerin Güçlendirilmesi (EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care/ EMPATHIC-30)” anketi ve “Eve Geçiş: Preterm Ebeveyn Ölçeği (EG: PEÖ)” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler, SPSS programı kullanılarak yüzdeler, ortalamalar, bağımsız t-testi, ANOVA, pearson korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Annelerin EMPATIC-30 ölçek toplam puan ortalaması 5.41±.34, EG: PEÖ toplam puan ortalaması 73.82±8.31’dir. EMPATHIC-30 ölçeği ile EG: PEÖ arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (r=-.06; p=.331). EMPATHIC-30 ölçeği bakım-tedavi alt boyutu ile EG: PEÖ endişe ve izolasyon boyutu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır (r=-.156; p=.028). Sonuç: Yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde preterm bebeği yatan annelerin memnuniyetleri ile hastanedeneve geçişte yaşadıkları sorunlar arasında herhangi ilişki bulunmamıştır.
