ASSESSMENT OF FATHERS’ POSTNATAL SENSE OF SECURITY AND DEPRESSION SITUATIONS

Öz

Aim: The research was carried out to assess the fathers’ postnatal sense of security and depression situations. Method: The research was conducted as descriptive. The research was carried out with 335 fathers whose spouses gave birth between 01 July 2016 and 31 December 2017 in the Postpartum/Caesarean section of a Gynecology Hospital in the Eastern Black Sea Region. The data were collected using the personal information form, the Fathers’ Postnatal Sense of Security Scale and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Percentage of distributions, mean, t test, one-way variance analysis and Pearson Correlation Analysis were used for evaluating the data. Results: The mean of the total score obtained from the Fathers’ Postnatal Sense of Security Scale is 37.78 ± 7.25 and the mean of the total score obtained from the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale is 6.88±4.13 It is determined that there is a weak relationship in the negative direction between the postpartum depression status of the father and the postnatal sense of security (p<0.001, r=-0.298). It was determined that the difference between all descriptive characteristics of the fathers and the mean scores of the Fathers' Postnatal Sense of Security Scale and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale mean scores were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions and Suggestions: It was concluded that fathers’ postnatal safety feelings were at a good level and fathers did not have postpartum depression. It was determined that fathers’ descriptive features did not affect postnatal safety feelings and postpartum depression of fathers. As the fathers’ postnatal feelings increased, the depression symptoms decreased. It is important to evaluate both the sense of security and depression in fathers in the postpartum period.

Babaların Doğum Sonu Güvenlik Hisleri ve Depresyon Durumlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırma babaların doğum sonu güvenlik hisleri ve depresyon durumlarının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma, tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırma, Doğu Karadeniz’de bir Kadın Doğum Hastanesinin Postpartum/Sezaryen servislerinde 01 Temmuz 2016–31 Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında eşleri doğum yapan 335 baba ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Babaların Doğum Sonu Güvenlik Hisleri Ölçeği ve Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; yüzdelik dağılımlar, ortalama, t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve Pearson Korelasyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Babaların Doğum Sonu Güvenlik Hisleri Ölçeği’den aldıkları toplam puan ortalaması 37.78±7.25 ve Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon Ölçeği’den aldıkları toplam puan ortalaması ise 6.88±4.13 olarak bulunmuştur. Babaların doğum sonu güvenlik hisleri ile postpartum depresyon durumları arasında negatif yönde zayıf ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.001, r=-0.298). Babaların tüm tanıtıcı özellikleri ile Babaların Doğum Sonu Güvenlik Hisleri Ölçeği puan ortalamaları ve Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon Ölçeği puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı saptanmıştır (p>0.05). Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Babaların doğum sonu güvenlik hislerinin iyi düzeyde olduğu ve postpartum depresyon yaşamadıkları belirlenmiştir. Babaların tanıtıcı özelliklerinin doğum sonu güvenlik hislerini ve postpartum depresyon durumunu etkilemediği bulunmuştur. Babaların doğum sonu güvenlik hisleri arttıkça depresyon görülme durumları azalmaktadır. Doğum sonu dönemde babalarında hem güvenlik hissi hem de depresyon durumlarının değerlendirmesi önemlidir.
