Abstract

Amaç: Prenatal bağlanma; doğum öncesi dönemden başlayan doğumun gerçekleştiği ana kadar olan anne ile bebek arasındaki duygusal bağdır. Bu çalışma ile sığınmacı olmanın prenatal bağlanma üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeyi amaçladık.

Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel olarak planlanan çalışmaya üçüncü trimesterdeki 76 Suriye’li göçmen ve 76 Türk olmak üzere toplam 152 gebe dahil edildi. Verilerin toplanmasında 21 sorudan oluşan Prenatal Bağlanma Envanteri (PAE) kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Suriye’ li göçmen gebelerin toplam PAE skoru, Türk gebelerden istatiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşüktü (60.17 ± 8.9 vs. 63.53 ± 8.3; p=0.019). Eğitim süresi uzun olan gebelerin PAE puanları istatiksel anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (r=0.279 ve p=0.001). Parite ile PAE puanları arasında negatif yönde korelasyon saptandı (r=-0.208 ve p =0.014). PAE skorları ile sırasıyla yaş, gravida ve gebelik haftası arasında ilişki bulunmadı (r=0.021 ve p=0.87; r=-0.123 ve p=0.14; r=0.155 ve p=0.06).

Sonuç: Göçmen olmanın prenatal bağlanma üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisi vardır. Çalışmamız Türkiye’de ve diğer ülkelerde mülteci nüfusuyla ilgili prenatal bağlanmayı arttıracak sağlık politikalarının planlanması ve geliştirilmesine rehberlik edebilir.

Is being a refugee affect prenatal bonding scores of Syrian women in Turkey?

Abstract

Objective: The development of the bond between mother and infant already starts during prenatal life, which is called prenatal bonding is the emotional tie or the bond that generally develops between the pregnant woman and her unborn child. We aimed at investigating the effect of being a refugee on prenatal bonding.

Method: A total of 152 pregnant women in the third trimester, 76 Syrian refugees and 76 Turkish, were included in the study, which was planned as a descriptive cross-sectional study. Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI), consisting of 21 items, was applied to collect data before delivery.

Results: The total PAI score of Syrian pregnant was significantly lower than Turkish pregnant (60.17±8.9 vs. 63.53±8.3, p=0.019). For those whose education time period was longer, PAI scores were higher (r=0.279 and p <0.001). There was an inverse association between parity and PAI scores (r=-0.208 and p=0.014). There was not any correlation between PAI scores between age, gravida, gestational weeks, respectively (r=0.021 and p=0.87; r=-0.123 and p=0.14; r=0.155 and p=0.06).

Conclusion: Being a refugee has a negative impact on prenatal attachment. The findings of our study could guide the planning and development of health policies in Turkey and other countries that would help to address the situation regarding refugee populations.
