Postpartum Depresyon Açısından Ri̇skli̇ Anneleri̇n Bebekleri̇ni̇n Doğum Sonrası İlk İki̇ Aylık Dönemde Boy ve Ki̇lo Ölçümleri̇ni̇n Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Özet

Amaç: Gebelik ve doğumla birlikte kadınlarda depresyon görülme sıklığı artmaktadır. Postpartum depresyonun görülme sıklığı %12,5 - 25 arasında değişmekte olup toplumdan topluma değişiklik göstermektedir. Doğum sonrası dönemde annede ortaya çıkan depresyon annenin bebeğe bağlanmasını, bebek bakımını ve ebeveynlik rolünü öğrenmesini etkileyebilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı doğum sonrası ilk iki aylık sürede emzirmenin devamının izlenmesi ve postpartum depresyon açısından riskli annelere etkin emzirme eğitimi vermenin bebeklerin boy ve kilo artışları üzerindeki etkisinin olup olmadığının saptanmasıdır.

Materyal ve Metod: Çalışmaya alınan yeni doğum yapmış annenlerin depresyon riskini saptamak amacıyla Edinburgh Postpartum Depresyon Skalası ve sosyo-demografik özellikleri belirleyen 43 sorudan oluşan anket formunu cevaplamaları istendi. Tüm annelere hem hemşire hem de hekim tarafından etkin emzirme eğitimi verildi. Doğumda, birinci ve ikinci aylık kontrollerde bebeklerin boy ve kilo ölçümleri kaydedildi. Depresyon açısından riskli olan ve olmayan anneler arasında anlamlı bir fark olup olmadığı istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi.

Tartışma ve Sonuç: Postpartum depresyon skoru yüksek olan ve olmayan tüm annelerin çocuklarını emzirdikleri ve ilk iki aylık dönemde emzirmeyi bırakmadıkları görüldü, iki grup arasında değerlendirilen parametrelerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmedi. Bu durumun, verdiğimiz etkin emzirme eğitimine, ekonomik nedeniyle annelerin bebeklerini sadece anne sütüyle besleyebilmelerine, annelerin toplumsal baskı nedeniyle bebeklerini emzirmek zorunda hissetmelerine veya emzirmenin postpartum depresyonlu anneler üzerinde iyileştirici etkisinin bulunmasına bağlı olabileceği düşünüldü.

Effect Of Breastfeeding on Depression Levels of Mothers, Weight and Height Measurements of Babies in The Postpartum First Two Months

Abstract

Objective: The incidence of depression in women increases with pregnancy and delivery. The prevalence of postpartum depression ranges between %12.5-25 and differs among communities. Postpartum depression may affect bonding and the mother's learning about baby care and parenting role. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of effective breastfeeding education on infant weight, height gain, and the continuity of breastfeeding in mothers with high post-partum depression risk in the first two months of the post-partum period.

Materials and Methods: High risk patients for postpartum depression were identified in the newly delivered mothers with the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale; patients also filled a questionnaire form of 43 questions in order to evaluate socio-demographical data. At the time the baby was born, breastfeeding education was given to all of the participants by the doctor and by the nurse. Weight and height of the babies were measured and recorded immediately postpartum, and at the visits of the first and the second month. Collected data were evaluated statistically.

Results and Conclusion: In the present study it was shown that all of the mothers with or without postpartum depression continued breastfeeding at first two months postpartum period. No significant differences in evaluated parameters were found between the two groups. This situation was considered to be due to several factors such as effective breastfeeding education and economical advantage encourages mothers to feed their babies only with breast milk, social pressure may compel mothers to breastfeed their babies. It was supposed that mothers’ continuation to breastfeeding in the depressed patients may be because it has a curative effect on postpartum depression.
