Childbirth are significant moments in the life of woman, families, and societies. During this crucial moment, women need the help and comfort of a supporter. In addition to the medical support of the woman during the birth, it is significant to have a constant supporter (health professionals, family members, spouse, friend doula) during the childbirth. The continuous support of the woman during childbirth reduces the fear of childbirth, shortens the duration of labor, decreases the interventions in delivery, and increases the woman's birth satisfaction. For this reason, every woman needs to receive uninterrupted support during childbirth. Women need to receive continuous support throughout the entire birth process in terms of increasing the satisfaction of the woman and the quality of the care provided.

DOĞUMDA KESİNTİSİZ VE SOSYAL DESTEK

Öz

Doğum kadınların, ailelerin ve toplumların yaşamında önemli olan anlardan biridir. Bu önemli an sırasında kadınlar bir destekçinin yardımına ve rahatlatmasına ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Doğumda kadının medikal olarak desteklenmesinin yanı sıra doğumda sürekli bir destekçinin (sağlık profesyonelleri, aile üyeleri, eşi, arkadaş doula) bulunmasının önemi büyüktür. Kadının doğumda sürekli destek alması doğum korkusunun azalmasını, doğum süresinin kısalmasını, doğum eylemine olan müdahalelerin azalmasını, kadının doğum memnuniyetinin artmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu nedenle her kadının doğumda kesintisiz destek almasının önemi büyüktür. Kadının tüm doğum süreci boyunca kesintisiz destek alması kadının doğum memnuniyeti ve verilen bakımın kalitesinin artması açısından önemlidir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
