Abstract

Amaç: Anne baba arasındaki uyumlu bir evlilik ve sağlıklı ebeveynlik davranışları çocuğun gelişimine önemli bir katkı sağlar. Bu araştırma 1, 3 yaşları arasında hasta ve sağlıklı çocukların gelişim düzeyleri ile annelerinin evlilik uyumu ve öz yeterlilik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu pediatri servislerinde çocuğu yatan 125, Aile Sağlığı Merkezine sağlıklı çocuğunu muayeneye getiren 111 çocuk annesi olmak üzere toplam 236 anne oluşturmuştur. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu, Evlilik Uyum Ölçeği (EUÖ), Anne Babalık Becerilerinde Öz, yeterlik Ölçeği ve Ankara Gelişim Tarama Envanteri kullanılarak (AGTE) toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamındaki çocukların gelişim düzeylerinin anne babaların evlilik uyumu (T=3,291; P=0,001) üzerinde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu (p<0,05), sağlıklı çocuğunu ASM’ne getiren annelerin evlilik uyumu puan ortalamasının (X ̅:1,88), çocuğu hasta olan annelerin evlilik uyumu puan ortalamasından (X ̅:1,71) daha yüksek, yine sağlıklı çocuk annelerinin öz yeterlilik puan ortalamalarının, hastanede yatan çocuğu olan annelerin puan ortalamalarından daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Her iki gruptaki annelerin evlilik uyumu ile öz yeterlik puan ortalamaları arasındaki ilişki negatif yönlüdür.
Sonuç: Bu araştırma sonucunda anne, babaların evlilik uyumu arttıkça, annelerin öz, yeterliklerinin arttığı ve çocukların sosyal beceri ve öz bakım gelişimlerine katkı sağladığı belirlenmiştir.

https://izlik.org/JA59UW63FC

Abstract

Aim: A harmonious marriage between parents and healthy parenting behaviors make an important contribution to the development of the child. This research was conducted to determine the relationship between the developmental levels of healthy children aged 1, 3 years in hospital and at home, and their mothers' marital adjustment and self efficacy levels.
Methods: The study group of this descriptive study consisted of 236 mothers, 125 of whom were hospitalized in pediatric services, and 111 mothers who brought their healthy children to the Family Health Center for examination. The data were collected using a personal information form, Marriage Adjustment Scale (ESS), Parenting Skills Self-efficacy Scale and Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory (AGTE).
Results: The developmental level of the children within the scope of the study had a statistically significant effect on the marital adjustment of the parents (t=3.291; p=0.001) (p<0.05), and the average marital adjustment score of the mothers who brought their healthy child to the FHC (X ̅1 .88), the marital adjustment mean score of mothers with sick children (X ̅is:1.71), and the self-efficacy score averages of mothers with healthy children are higher than the mean scores of mothers with hospitalized children (p<0.05). The relationship between mothers' marital adjustment and self efficacy score averages is negative.
Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that as the marital adjustment of the parents increased, the self efficacy of the mothers increased and contributed to the social skills and self, care development of the children.
