Abstract

Preterm newborns spend the first days of their lives struggling with life-threatening diseases in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit rather than with their mothers. The separation of mother and preterms decreased mother’s selfconfidence. This study was designed to determine the effect of planned education provided to mothers of preterm newborns in neonatal intensive care unit on selfconfidence of mother. This quasi-experimental pre/post-test study included 104 mothers of premature newborns (50 control, 54 intervention). The intervention group was given a planned education program, whereas the control group received routine education instead. Data were collected via a questionnaire, and descriptive statistics, t-test, and paired t-test were used to analyze selfconfidence levels before and after education. The mean scores of mothers in the intervention and control groups on the Pharis Selfconfidence Scale before to training did not change statistically significantly (t=1,174; p=,243). Mothers in the intervention group scored higher on average on the Pharis Selfconfidence Scale than mothers in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-8,74;p=,000). The conclusion drawn is that planned education was more effective in raising the mothers' selfconfidence when it came to caring for preterm newborns. Keywords: Mother, Planned Education, Preterm Newborn, Neonatal İntensive Care Unit, Selfconfidence.

Özet

Preterm yenidoğanlar, yaşamlarının ilk günlerini anneleriyle değil, Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi’nde yaşamı tehdit eden hastalıklarla mücadele ederek geçirmektedir. Anne ve preterm yenidoğanların ayrılığı, annelerin özgüvenini azaltmaktadır. Bu çalışma, yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde preterm yenidoğanların annelerine verilen planlı eğitimin annelerin özgüveni üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yarı deneysel, ön test-son test kontrol deseninde gerçekleştirilen çalışmaya pretermbebek annelerinden 104 kişi (50 kontrol, 54 müdahale) dahil edilmiştir. Kontrol grubuna rutin eğitim verilirken, müdahale grubuna planlı eğitim programı uygulanmıştır. Veriler anket formu aracılığıyla toplanmış; tanımlayıcı istatistikler, t-testi ve eşleştirilmiş t-testi kullanılarak eğitim öncesi ve sonrası özgüven düzeyleri analiz edilmiştir. Müdahale ve kontrol grubundaki annelerin eğitim öncesi Pharis Özgüven Ölçeği puan ortalamaları karşılaştırıldığında, aradaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı görülmüştür (t=1,174; p=,243). Ancak eğitim sonrasında, müdahale grubundaki annelerin ölçek puan ortalamalarının kontrol grubuna kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu ve bu farkın istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir (t=-8,74; p=,000). Bu sonuçlar, planlı eğitimin annelerin preterm bebek bakımına ilişkin özgüven düzeylerini artırmada daha etkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Anne, Planlı Eğitim, PretermYenidoğan, Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi, Özgüven.
