Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, aşırı ağlayan bebeğe sahip hemşire annelerin mental iyi oluşuna algıladıkları sosyal destek ve bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerin etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte olan araştırma, Şubat-Haziran 2021 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Akdeniz Üniversitesi Hastanesi ve Antalya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde hemşire olarak görev yapan, 0-18 aylık bebeği günde en az iki saat ağlayan veya 0-18 aylık bebeğini "aşırı ağlayan bebek" olarak tanımlayan 116 hemşire anne oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verilerinin uygulanma ve değerlendirmesinde Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Warwick-Edinburgh Mental İyi Oluş Ölçeği (WEMİOÖ) ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri online anket yoluyla, kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hemşire annelerin yaş ortalaması 30,93±4,10’dır ve bebekleri ortalama 8,01±4,84 aylıktır. Hemşire annelerin WEMİOÖ toplam puanı 50,71±9,09’dur. Aşırı ağlayan bebeğe sahip hemşire annelerin algıladıkları sosyal destek ve gelir durumu algısı mental iyi oluş düzeyi üzerinde pozitif yönde, iyi düzeyde etkilidir (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Aşırı ağlayan bebeğe sahip hemşire anneler orta düzeyin üzerinde mental iyi oluşa sahiptir. Katılımcı annelerin algıladıkları sosyal destek ve gelir durumları mental iyi oluşlarını etkilemektedir. Bebeği aşırı ağlayan hemşire annelerin sosyal destek ve mental iyi oluşlarını artırıcı çalışmalar başlatılması önerilmektedir. Hemşire annelerin gelir durumlarının artırılmasının mental iyi oluşlarını olumlu etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir.

The Effect of Social Support and Sociodemographic Characteristics on The Mental Well Being of Nurse Mothers with Excessively Crying Babies

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of social support and sociodemographic characteristics on mental well-being of nurse mothers who have excessively crying babies. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study is conducted between February and June 2021. The sample for the research comprised of 116 nurse mothers working as a nurse at Akdeniz University Hospital and Antalya Training and Research Hospital, whose 0-18 month old baby cried at least two hours a day or who defined their 0-18 month old baby as "excessive crying baby". In the application and evaluation of the research data, “Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS)”, and “Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support” were used. The data of the research were collected through an online survey, with snowball sampling method.
Results: The mean age of the nurse mothers participating in the study was 30.93±4.10, and their babies were 8.01±4.84 months old. The total WEMWBS score of the nurse mothers was 50.71±9.09. It is found that nurse mothers with excessively crying babies have moderate-high social support and mental well-being. The perceived social support and income status of nurse mothers who have excessively crying babies have a positive and good effect on mental well-being (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Nurse mothers with excessively crying babies mental well-being above moderate. The perceived social support and income status of the participating mothers affect their mental well-being. It is recommended to initiate studies to increase social support and mental well-being of nurse mothers with excessively crying babies. It is thought that increasing the income status of nurse mothers will positively affect their mental well-being.
