Yeni Doğum Yapmış Annelerin Anne Sütü Bankacılığına İlişkin Düşünceleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma yeni doğum yapmış annelerin anne sütü bankacılığına ilişkin düşüncelerini saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezinde 25 Haziran 2019-1 Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Obstetri servisinde yatan 244 anneye anket formu uygulanmıştır. Bu formda literatür doğrultusunda hazırlanan sosyodemografik özellikler ve anne sütü bankacılığına ilişkin sorular yer almıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 23.0 istatistik programı ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada, yeni doğum yapmış annelerin yaş ortalamaları 29.9754±6.38216’dır (min 18, max 42). Annelerin %41’i ilkokul/ortaokul mezunu, %79.5’i çekirdek ailede yaşamakta, %74.6’ü çalışmamaktadır. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu (%73.4) anne sütü bankasının ülkemizde uygulanmasını istemekte, %72.5’i süt bankası olsa sütünü bağışlamayı düşünmekte, %57.4’ü süt bankasından yararlanmak istemektedir. Annelerin sosyo-demografik durumları (yaş, eğitim durumu, çalışma durumu, aile tipi ve yaşayan çocuk sayısı) ile dini açıdan sorun yaratıp yaratmama durumu arasında istatistiksel farklılık saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Annelerin çoğunluğunun süt bankasına bağış yapmak istediği ve süt bankasından süt almak istediği görülmektedir. Ancak süt bankasının olmasının bazı sorunlara (süt kardeş evliliği, evlilik sorunları, annelerde yetersizlik duygusu, bağış yapan annenin sigara ve alkol kullanması, hastalık bulaşma riski ve dini nedenler vb) neden olabileceği de belirtilmiştir. Anne sütü bankacılığının yararlarına rağmen, etik ikilemler, geleneksel inanç ve tutumlar, mitler, sütünün güvenliğine ilişkin endişeler ve bilgi eksikliği tartışılmalıdır.

Views of Postnatal Mothers Regarding Human Milk Banking

Abstract

Aim: This study was carried out to determine the views of postnatal mothers regarding human milk banking. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on between 25 June 2019 and 1 January 2020 at Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Health Practice and Research Center. A questionnaire was applied to 244 mothers who were hospitalized in the obstetrics service.The data were collected using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. In this form, questions regarding human milk banking prepared in accordance with the literature and the socio-demographic characteristics of the mothers were included. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 23.0 statistics program. Results: The mean age of postnatal mothers was 29.9. Of the mothers, 41% were primary school / secondary school graduates, 79.5% were living in nuclear families and 74.6% were unemployed. The majority of mothers (73.4%) wanted human milk banks in Turkey to be active, 72.5% considered donating their milk if there were a milk bank, 57.4% would like to benefit from the milk bank. A statistical difference was found between the socio-demographic status of the mothers (age, education, employment status, family type and number of children alive) and the condition whether or not the milk bank caused problems in terms of religion (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the majority of mothers would like to donate to the milk bank and get milk there. However, it was also stated that the presence of milk bank would lead to some problems (milk sibling marriage, feeling of inadequacy in mothers, risk of disease transmission and religious reasons, etc.). Despite the benefits of human milk banking, ethical dilemmas, traditional beliefs and attitudes, myths, concerns about the safety of milk and lack of information should be discussed
