Abstract

Emzirme anne ve bebek sağlığı açısından sayısız yarar sağlamaktadır. Birçok ulusal ve uluslararası profesyonel kuruluş tüm çocukların ilk altı ay tek başına anne sütü ile beslenmelerini, ilk altı ayı takiben ise 2 yaş ve ötesine kadar uygun tamamlayıcı besinlerle birlikte anne sütü almaları önermesine rağmen bu oranlar halen istenilen düzeylere ulaşamamıştır. Emzirmeye erken başlama oranlarının yüksek olmasına rağmen emzirmenin sürdürülmesi konusunda sorunlar vardır. Emzirme konusunda annelerin desteklenmesinde; yüz yüze danışmanlık, ev ziyareti programı, akran danışmanlığı, telefon danışmanlığı, online danışmanlık gibi müdahalelerden ile günümüzde gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte hayatımıza giren mobil uygulamalardan yararlanılabilmektedir. Bu uygulamalar, farklı sağlık koşullarında daha fazla öz-yönetim sağlamakta ve bireylerin evrensel bilgiye, eğitime ve destek ağına her zaman, her yerde düşük maliyetle erişebilmesini ve dolayısıyla evde bakım almasını mümkün kılmaktadır. Gebeler ve yeni doğum yapmış olan kadınlar çevrimiçi sağlık bilgisine en çok ihtiyaç duyan ve erişim sağlayan gruplardandır. Doğum ve emzirme konusunda bilgi gereksinimini gidermek için sıklıkla çevrimiçi uygulamaları kullanmaktadırlar. İletişimin dönüştürüldüğü bu süreçte, mobil uygulamaların emzirme alanına entegrasyonu annelerin bilgi edinmeyi kolaylaştırabilir, olumlu tutum geliştirmelerine ve yeni sosyal ilişkiler kurmalarına katkı sağlayabilir. Bu nedenle, bu geleneksel derlemenin amacı; emzirmenin desteklenmesinde mobil uygulama kullanımının etkinliğinin saptanması ve bu konuda farkındalığın arttırılmasına katkı sağlanmasıdır.

USING THE MOBILE APPLICATION TO SUPPORT BREASTFEEDING

Abstract

Breastfeeding provides numerous benefits for maternal and infant health. Although many national and international professional organizations recommend that all children be breastfed alone for the first six months, and that they should be breastfed with appropriate complementary foods up to the age of 2 and beyond after the first six months, these rates still have not reached the desired levels. Despite the high rates of early initiation of breastfeeding, there are problems with maintaining breastfeeding. Supporting mothers in breastfeeding; Interventions such as face-to-face counseling, home visit program, peer counseling, telephone counseling, online counseling and mobile applications that have entered our lives with the developing technology today can be used. These applications provide more self-management in different health conditions and make it possible for individuals to access universal information, education and support network anytime, anywhere at low cost and thus receive home care. Pregnant women and women who have just given birth are among the groups that most need and access health information online. They frequently use online applications to meet their need for information on birth and breastfeeding. In this process where communication is transformed, the integration of mobile applications in the field of breastfeeding can facilitate mothers to obtain information, contribute to their development of positive attitudes and establish new social relations. Therefore, the purpose of this review; to determine the effectiveness of mobile application use in supporting breastfeeding and to contribute to raising awareness on this issue.
