Abstract

Objective: The aim of this current study was to determine mothers’ infant sleep position practices and their awareness of a safe sleeping environment. Material and Methods: This descriptive survey was conducted with 418 mothers who had infants aged 0-6 months and who agreed to participate in pediatric outpatient polyclinics of two hospitals. Data were collected between January-December 2020 via-structured questionnaires by face-to-face interview. Results: Of the 418 mothers; 28% placed their babies in the supine sleeping position, 59.6% used a pillow when they put their babies in bed and 76.8% used a soft mattress. 42.3% of mothers covered their babies’ faces during sleep; primary school graduate mothers were more intended on covering their babies’ faces than high school and university graduates (p<0.001). 4.1% of mothers smoked during pregnancy, 9.8% during the lactation period and 15.3% were exposed to household smoke. All of the mothers shared a room with their babies without sharing a bed. There was also a positive correlation between the number of prenatal visits of mothers and their preference to put their babies to sleep in the supine position (p=0.010). Conclusion: Most of the mothers placed their babies in a side sleeping position. Mothers’ avoiding sharing beds and smoking cigarettes and prone positioning their children at a very low frequency were pleasing measures. Mothers who had more prenatal visits were found to place their babies more in the supine sleep position. Increasing the awareness of healthcare providers and other secondary caregivers about a safe sleeping environment and baby sleep position during pre and postnatal visits would make right practices become widespread.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, annelerin bebek uyku pozisyonu uygulamalarını ve güvenli uyku ortamı farkındalıklarını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma, iki hastanenin çocuk polikliniklerine çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 0-6 aylık bebeği olan 418 anne ile yapıldı. Veriler, Ocak-Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında yapılandırılmış anket yoluyla yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular: 418 annenin %28’i bebeklerini sırtüstü pozisyonda yatırırken, %59.6’sı yastık ve %76.8’i yumuşak yatak kullanmış, %42.3’ü uykuda iken bebeklerinin yüzünü örtmüşlerdir. İlkokul mezunu anneler, lise ve üniversite mezunlarına göre daha fazla bebeklerinin yüzünü örtmeye eğilimli idiler (p<0.001). Annelerin %4.1’i gebelikte, %9.8’i emzirme döneminde sigara içmişler ve %15.3’ü ev içi sigara dumanına maruz kalmıştı. Annelerin tamamı yatak paylaşımı olmaksızın bebekleriyle aynı odayı paylaşıyordu. Annelerin doğum öncesi ziyaret sayısı ile bebeklerini sırt üstü yatırma tercihleri arasında pozitif yönde ilişki bulundu (p=0.010). Sonuç: Annelerin çoğu bebeklerini yan yatış pozisyonuna yerleştirmişlerdir. Annelerin yatak paylaşımından, sigara içmekten kaçınmaları ve çocuklarını çok düşük sıklıkta yüzüstü pozisyonda uyutmaları sevindirici önlemlerdi. Doğum öncesi ziyaretleri daha fazla olan annelerin bebeklerini daha çok sırt üstü yatış pozisyonuna yerleştirdiği saptandı. Doğum öncesi ve sonrası ziyaretlerde sağlık hizmeti sunucuları ve diğer ikincil bakıcıların güvenli uyku ortamı ve bebek uyku pozisyonu konusunda bilinçlendirilmesi doğru uygulamaların yaygınlaşmasını sağlayacaktır.
