Prenatal Breastfeeding Training in Turkish Women: How are the effects?

Abstract

Objective: Mothers should be trained and supported to enable them to breastfeed effectively, as the mother’s milk is the most important nutrient in an infant’s feeding.  This study intends to show the effect of breastfeeding training during pregnancy on mothers’ breastfeeding experiences and emphasize its importance. Materials and Methods: This study was performed between December 2013 and February 2014. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 190 mothers. In this study, we compared two groups, who were educated or not educated on breastfeeding and breast milk. The data was collected through a face to face interview. Results: The study group consisted of 190 mothers; 100 in the control group and 90 in the training group. There was a significant difference in the frequency (88,8 %) and duration of breastfeeding (62,2 %) among the mothers in the training group. There was a significantly high tendency among mothers in the control group to feed their babies water, supplementary food / baby formula and use pacifiers during the first 6 months. Using feeding bottles has been shown to cause mothers to feed their babies only with breast milk for less than 6 months. Conclusion: It has been concluded that breastfeeding training given to mothers before delivery increases breastfeeding frequency and duration while lowering the use of feeding bottles and making the practice of feeding babies water in the first 6 months less common. Mothers should be trained on breast milk and breastfeeding starting from the period before delivery.


Amaç: Bebek beslenmesinde en önemli besin olan anne sütünün etkili ve bilinçli olarak bebeklere verilmesi için annelerin bilgilendirilmesi ve desteklenmesi şarttır. Bu çalışma, gebelik döneminde verilen anne sütü ve emzirme eğitiminin emzirme üzerine olan etkisini göstermek ve eğitimin önemini vurgulamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma Aralık 2013 ile Şubat 2014 arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. 190 anne ile kesitsel bir çalışma yapılmıştır. İki ayrı grubu, emziren ve anne sütü üzerine eğitimli ve eğitilmemiş annelerle karşılaştırmayı amaçlayan bu çalışmada veriler yüz yüze yapılan görüşme sonucu toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kontrol grubu 100, eğitim grubuna 90 olmak üzere toplam 190 anne çalışmaya alınmıştır. Eğitim grubu annelerde anne sütü ile beslenme sıklığı (%88,8) ve süresinde (%62,2) anlamlı olarak fark bulunmuştur. Kontrol grubu annelerde ilk altı ayda su, emzik, tamamlayıcı gıda/mamaya başlanma davranışı anlamlı derecede yüksektir. Biberon kullanımının altı aydan az sadece anne sütü ile beslenmeye neden olduğu gösterilmiştir. Sonuç: Doğum öncesi dönemde annelere verilen eğitimle emzirme sıklığı ve süresinin arttığı, biberon kullanma davranışı ve ilk altı ayda su vermenin azaldığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Anneler, doğum öncesi dönemden başlayarak anne sütü ve emzirme ile ilgili eğitimler verilerek bilgilendirilmelidir.
