Abstract

This descriptive study was conducted to examine the sensitive caregivingskills of caregivers working with infants aged 0-1 age years under protection, is a descriptive study. The study group of this research, in which the entire universe was reached, consisted of 50 caregivers who voluntarily participated in the study and were responsible for the care of 0-1 year old under protection and care at the Directorate of Istanbul Şeyh Zayed Children's Homes Site. “Personal Information Form” and “Baby Parent Play Behaviours Observation Form” were used as data collection tools. To examine differences in caregiver’ sensitive caregiving skills according to selected characteristics, non-parametric statistical analysis were employed. The Mann-Whitney U Test was used for bivariate analyzses; while the Kruskal Wallis tests was applied in analyses with more than two independent variables. According to the results of the study, it was found that the sensitivity of the caregivers working in institutional care is at a high level, although there are deficiencies in certain sensitive behaviors. In addition, while significant differences were identified between caregivers’ sensitive caregiving skills and the variables of age, educational status, and length of employment, no significant differences were found in relation to marital status or having children.

Özet

Koruma altında bulunan 0-1 yaş grubu bebeklerle çalışan bakım elemanlarının duyarlı bakım sunma becerilerinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılan bu araştırma nicel modelde tasarlanmış, tanımlayıcı bir araştırmadır. Evrenin tümüne ulaşılan bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu İstanbul Şeyh Zayed Çocuk Evleri Sitesi Müdürlüğünde koruma ve bakım altında bulunan 0-1 yaş grubu bebeklerin bakımından sorumlu olup araştırmaya gönüllü katılan 50 bakım elemanı oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Bebek Ebeveyn Oyun Davranışları Gözlem Formu kullanılmıştır. Bakım elemanlarının bazı özelliklerine göre bebeklere sunduğu duyarlı bakım becerisindeki farklılaşma düzeyleri non-parametrik testlerden iki bağımsız değişkenli analizlerde Mann-Whitney U Testi; ikiden fazla bağımsız değişkenli analizlerde ise Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre bakım elemanının yaş, eğitim durumu ve çalışma süresi değişkenleri ile duyarlı bakım sunma becerisi arasında anlamlı farklılık olduğu saptanırken medeni durum ve çocuk sahibi olma değişkenleri ile duyarlı bakım sunma becerisi arasında anlamlı farklılık olmadığı bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın sonuçları literatürde yapılmış çalışmalarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Anahtar kelimeler: Bebek, Çocuk Evleri, Duyarlı Bakım
