Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine crying and sleep problems in infants, perinatal and maternal factors influencing infant crying and sleep behavior, and to evaluate the emotional and behavioral reactions of the mothers towards excessive crying and nocturnal-waking problems. Method: A questionnaire including 30 questions related maternal, infantile and perinatal features was used in this descriptive study. Totally 107 infants aged between 0-12 months were followed in the neonatal outpatient clinic comprised the study sample. Mothers not having communication problem and postpartum depression and volunteered to participate to the study were interviewed face to face. Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation and Mann Whitney U test were used for data analysis. Logistic regression analyses were utilized to determine risk factors for excessive crying and nocturnal-waking in infants. Results: There was a positively significant correlation between total crying hours during a day and the frequency of nocturnal-waking at the 1st month (p0.005). Birth by cesarean was identified as a risk factor for excessive crying (OR=2.661) and prolonged stay in incubator (OR=1.031) was revealed as a risk factor for nocturnal-waking (p=0.021). The findings concluded that a high median of infant crying was associated with maternal negative feelings including sadness, helplessness, anger and guilt. The behavioral reactions of the mothers toward infant crying favorably dispersed including breastfeeding (69.2%), taking in arms (30.8%), checking diaper (20.6%), burping (14.0), and walking around at home (8.4%). Conclusion: In the presence of delivery by cesarean and prolonged stay in incubator, excessive crying and the frequency of nocturnal-waking in infants were found to increase more. Mothers should be supported whose babies born by cesarean and stay prolonged time in incubator in terms of excessive crying and nocturnal-waking problems.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bebeklerde ağlama ve uyku sorunlarını ve bu sorunlara etki eden perinatal ve anneye ilişkin faktörleri belirlemek ve annelerin aşırı ağlama ve gece uyanma sorunlarına karşı gösterdikleri duygusal ve davranışsal tepkileri değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı araştırmada anneye, bebeğe ve perinatal özelliklere ilişkin 30 sorudan oluşan bir anket formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma örneklemini, bir eğitim araştırma hastanesi yenidoğan takip polikliniğine gelen ve 0-12 ay arasında olan toplam 107 bebek oluşturmuştur. İletişim problemi ve doğum sonu depresyonu olmayan ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan bebeklerin anneleri ile yüz-yüze görüşülmüştür. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Spearman korelasyon ve Mann Whitney U testleri kullanılmıştır. Aşırı ağlama ve gece uyanma sıklığını etkileyen risk faktörlerini belirlemek için logistik regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Bebeklerin gündüz ağlama süresi ile gece uyanma sıklıkları arasında ilk bir aylık dönemde pozitif yönde anlamlı bir korelasyon olduğu (p0.005). Sezeryan doğum şeklinin inatçı ağlama (OR=2.661), küvözde kalma süresinin uzamasının ise gece uyanma sıklığı (OR=1.031) için bir risk faktörü olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0.021). Araştırma bulguları, ağlama süresi ortancasının yüksek olmasının üzüntü, mutsuzluk, kızgınlık ve suçluluk gibi anneye ilişkin olumsuz duygularla ilişkili olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Annelerin bebeğin ağlamasına ilişkin davranışsal tepkileri emzirme (%69.2), kollarına alma (%30.8), alt-bezi kontrolü (%20.6), gazını çıkarma (%14.0) ve ev içinde yürüme (%8.4) şeklinde dağılım göstermiştir. Sonuç: Sezeryan yolu ile doğumun inatçı ağlamayı, küvözde kalma süresinin uzamasının ise bebeklerde gece uyanma sıklığını daha fazla arttırdığı bulunmuştur. Özellikle sezeryan yoluyla doğan ve bebeği uzun süre küvözde takip edilen annelerin inatçı ağlama ve gece sık uyanma sorunlarına yönelik desteklenmeleri önerilmiştir.
