Öz

Amaç: Çalışma ikiz bebek bekleyen gebelere verilen emzirme eğitiminin gebelerin emzirme niyeti üzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma tek grup ön test- son test tasarımlı olup, Sakarya ilinde bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde Ağustos-Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın örneklemini hastanenin gebe polikliniklerine gelen, çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 20-34. gestasyon haftası arasında olan 38 ikiz gebe oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan ‘‘Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu”, “İkiz Bebeklerin Emzirilmesi ile İlgili Bilgi Formu” ve “İkiz Bebek Bekleyen Gebelerde Emzirme Niyet Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS programı ile yüzde, ortalama ve Bağımlı örneklme t testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Gebelerin yaş ortalaması 29,84 yıldır (SD=5,63). Gebelerin ölçekten aldıkları toplam puan ortalaması eğitim öncesi 22,84±4,46 ve eğitim sonrası 29,68±3,09 olup, aradaki farkın istatistiksel olarak ileri derecede anlamlıdır (t= -13,577, p=0,000). Bu anlamlı farklılığın etki büyüklüğü 2,930 olup, yüksektir.

Sonuç: Antenatal dönemde verilen emzirme eğitiminin ikiz bebek bekleyen gebelerin emzirme niyetlerini etkilediği belirlendi (p<0,05).

The Effect of Breastfeeding Education Provided to Pregnant Women Who Expect Twins on Their Breastfeeding Intention

Abstract

Objective: The study was conducted to determine the effect of breastfeeding education provided to pregnant women expecting twins on their breastfeeding intention.

Materials and Methods: The research was conducted as a single group pre-test-post-test design study in the antenatal education class of a training and research hospital between August and December 2017. The study sample consisted of 38 pregnant women expecting twins between 20 and 34 weeks of gestation who came to the hospital's pregnant outpatient clinics and agreed to participate in the study. In the study, data were collected using the "Descriptive Information Form,” "Information Form on Breastfeeding of Twin Babies," and "Breastfeeding Intent Scale for Twin Expecting Pregnant Women." The data were evaluated in the SPSS program, using percentages, averages, and paired Student’s t-test.

Results: The mean age of the pregnant women was 29.84 years (SD=5.63). The mean total score obtained by the pregnant women from the scale was 22.84±4.46 before the education and 29.68±3.09 after the education, and the difference between them was statistically highly significant (t= -13.577, p=0.000). The effect size of this significant difference is 2.930, which is high.

Conclusion: It was determined that breastfeeding education provided in the antenatal period affected the breastfeeding intention of pregnant women expecting twins (p<0.05).
