Abstract

Objectives:This study was conducted to evaluate the moderator role of birth satisfaction in its correlation with mother-infant bonding and psychological resilience.
Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. The population of this study consisted of puerperal women who gave birth in a public hospital in Turkey. The sample size was calculated as at least 437 puerperal women and included 491 puerperal women in total. Personal Introduction Form, the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), Mother to Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS), and Birth Satisfaction Scale–Short Form (BSS–Short) were used to collect data.
Results:Mean age of puerperal women included in this study was 28.07±5.17. The mean BSS-Short total score was 20.35±6.07, the mean MIBS total score was 1.73±2.44, and the mean BRS total score was 19.18± 4.50. In this study, it was determined that the correlation between birth satisfaction and mother-infant bonding increased as the level of psychological resilience increased. In addition to this, the simple slope analysis revealed that the effect of psychological resilience on mother-infant bonding was not significant in cases where birth satisfaction was high(B=-0.22,p=0.10) and the effect of psychological resilience on mother-infant bonding was significant in cases where birth satisfaction was moderate(B=-0.44,p=0.001) and high(B=-.71,p=0.001).
Conclusion:It was concluded that the strength of the correlation between psychological resilience and mother-infant binding increased in cases where birth satisfaction was high.

Anne-Bebek Bağlanması ve Psikolojik Sağlamlık Arasındaki İlişkide Doğum Memnuniyetinin Moderatör Etkisi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma anne-bebek bağlanması ve psikolojik sağlamlık ile ilişkisinde doğum memnuniyetinin moderatör rolünün değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Metod: Araştırma kesitsel olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye’de bir kamu hastanesinde doğum yapan lohusalar oluşturmuştur. Örneklem büyüklüğü en az 437 lohusa olarak hesaplanmış olup 491 kişi ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında “Kişisel Tanıtım Formu”, ve “Kısa Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği (KPSÖ), “Anne-Bebek Bağlanma Ölçeği (ABBÖ)”, “Doğum Memnuniyet Ölçeği Kısa Formu (DMÖ-K)” kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Lohusaların yaş ortalaması 28.07±5.17’dir. DMÖ-K toplam puan ortalaması 20.35±6.07, ABBÖ toplam puan ortalaması 1.73±2.44, KPSÖ toplam puan ortalaması 19.18± 4.50 olarak bulundu. Araştırmada psikolojik sağlamlık düzeyi arttıkça doğum memnuniyeti ve anne bebek bağlanması arasındaki ilişkinin arttığı tespit edildi. Ayrıca basit eğim analizi, doğum memnuniyetinin düşük olduğu durumlarda (B= -0.22, p=0.10) psikolojik sağlamlığın anne bebek bağlanmasına etkisinin anlamlı olmadığını, doğum memnuniyetinin orta (B=-0.44, p=0.001) ve yüksek (B= -0.71, p=0.001) olduğu durumlarda ise psikolojik sağlamlığın anne bebek bağlanmasına etkisinin anlamlı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak doğum memnuniyetinin yüksek olduğu durumlarda psikolojik sağlamlık ile anne bebek bağlanması arasındaki ilişkinin gücü artmaktadır.
