COVID-19 Tanısı Alan Yenidoğanların Bakım Süreci ve Annelerinin Deneyimleri: Fenomenolojik Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 tanılı yenidoğanların bakım sürecini ve COVID-19 tanılı annelerinin deneyimlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.
Yöntem: Bu araştırma nitel tasarım olarak fenomenolojik tipte üçüncü basamak bir hastanenin III. düzey yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yapıldı. Görüşme sırasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanıldı. Görüşme ses kayıt cihazına kaydedildi. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Yenidoğanın semptomlarına göre uygun hemşirelik girişimleri uygulandı. Annelerin “Yenidoğan ve sevdikleriyle ilgili duygu ve düşünceleri”, “Sağlık sektörü ile ilgili düşünceleri” ve “Gelecek ile ilgili düşünceleri” olmak üzere üç ana tema belirlendi.
Sonuç: Annelerin travma, kayıp korkusu, üzüntü, çaresizlik, özlem, sosyal izolasyon ve damgalanma gibi olumsuz duygu ve düşünceleri ile bağlanma, sosyal destek ve değer gibi olumlu duygu ve düşüncelerinin olduğu görüldü. Annelerin sağlık sektörü hakkında değer, memnuniyet ve güven gibi olumlu düşünceleri vardı. Gelecekle ilgili ise annelerin, endişe ve sosyal izolasyon gibi olumsuz, umut gibi olumlu düşünceleri vardı.
