Bebek Cinsiyetinin Annelerin Emzirme Tutumları ve Süreleri Üzerindeki Etkisinin Araştırılması: Kesitsel bir Çalışma

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de bebek cinsiyetinin annelerin emzirme tutumları ve süreleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. 2022 yılında aile sağlığı merkezlerine başvuran 1 ile 36 ay arasında çocuğu olan kadınlarla (n:386) kesitsel bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Veriler "Bilgi Formu" ve "Iowa Bebek Besleme Ölçeği (IIFAS)" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler, t-testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Annelerin IIFAS puan ortalaması 63.54±7,01 olarak bulunmuştur. Kız annelerin IIFAS puanı 63,31 (SS: 7,04), erkek annelerin IIFAS puanı 64,56 (SS: 6,87) olup aralarındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (t: -1,602, p>0,05). Ortalama emzirme süresi kızlarda 14,36 + 7,52 ay, erkeklerde 15,26 + 7,62 ay olup aralarındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (t:-1,215, p>0,05). Çalışmaya katılan annelerin her iki cinsiyetteki çocukları için sadece anne sütü ile beslenme ve toplam anne sütü ile beslenme sürelerinde bir farklılık olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca annelerin emzirmeye yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Investigation of the Effect of Infant Gender on Mothers' Breastfeeding Attitudes and Duration: A Cross-sectional Study

Öz

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of infant gender on mothers' breastfeeding attitudes and duration in Turkey. This cross-sectional study was conducted with women (n:386) each of whom had a child between 1 and 36 months old and applied to family health centers in 2022. Data were collected using the “Information Form”’ and the “Iowa Infant Feeding Scale (IIFAS)”. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test. The study was carried out according to STROBE. The mothers' IIFAS mean score was 63.54±7.01. The IIFAS score of mothers with girls was 63.31 (SD: 7.04), with boys were 64.56 (SD: 6.87), and the difference between them was not statistically significant (t: -1.602, p>0.05). The mean duration of breastfeeding for girls was 14.36 + 7.52 months, and for boys were 15.26 + 7.62 months, and the difference between them was not significant (t: -1.215, p>0.05). We concluded that there was no disparity in the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and total breastfeeding for the children of both sexes of the mothers in the study. In addition, it was determined that mothers' attitudes toward breastfeeding were positive.
