Abstract

The child’s illness and the consequent hospitalization of a caregiver involve undesirable and unpleasant experiences for the child and their parents.The present study aims to examine the anxiety levels of mothers of children who are hospitalized for acute and chronic disorders, as well as their status of coping with stress and the factors that affect it. The research was conducted with 316 mothers whose children were hospitalized due to acute and chronic diseases between March 2019 and February 2020. “The Parent and Child Information Form,” “State and Trait Anxiety Scale,” and “Styles of Coping with Stress Scale” were used to collect data. A statistically significant difference was found between the mothers' educational background employment status, and psychological support status and the subdimensions of the “Styles of Coping with Stress Scale” (p 0.05). The mothers’ educational background number of children, employment, involvement in care, status of living in an extended family, level of knowledge regarding the child’s disease and receiving psychological support positively affect their style of coping with stress.

Özet

Çocuğun hastalanması ve buna bağlı olarak hastaneye yatması çocuk ve ebeveynleri için istenmedik ve hoş olmayan deneyimler içermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, akut ve kronik hastalık nedeni ile hastaneye yatan çocukların annelerinin anksiyete düzeyleri ve stresle başa çıkma durumları ile etkileyen faktörleri incelemektir. Araştırma Mart 2019 ve Şubat 2020 tarihleri arasında akut ve kronik hastalık nedeniyle çocuğu hastaneye yatan 316 anne ile yapılmıştır. Veriler “Ebeveyn ve Çocuk Bilgi Formu”, “Durumluk ve Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği” ve “Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamına alınan annelerin eğitim, çalışma durumu, aile tipi, çocuk sayısı ve psikolojik destek alma durumları ile annelerin stresle başa çıkma tarzları ölçeğinin alt boyutları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmıştır (p 0,05). Annelerin eğitim düzeyleri, çocuk sayısı, çalışıyor olmaları, bakıma katılmaları, geniş ailede yaşamaları, çocuğun hastalığı hakkında bilgi düzeyi ve psikolojik destek almaları annelerin stresle başa çıkma tarzlarını olumlu yönde etkilemektedir.
