An Evaluation of the Factors Affecting Exclusive Breastfeeding

Öz:
Introduction: Breast milk is not only the ideal nourishmentfor babies, but is also unique in terms of its health benefits formothers and economic benefits for the society. The World HealthOrganization and United Nations Children’s Fund supportexclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of post-natal life.Methods: A total of 355 mothers who all delivered in ourhospital were included in this study. A questionnaire was createdto include questions regarding the mothers’ opinions aboutbreast milk and their reasons for continuing or discontinuingexclusive breastfeeding. We collected other data separately,including the socio-cultural and socio-economic characteristicsof the mothers, fathers and babies. Using the data collected,the mothers were grouped and compared according to theirbreastfeeding behaviour. Fathers were also grouped accordingto their paternal characteristics and their potential impact onthe mothers’ breastfeeding behaviour was investigated.Results: In this study, 49% of the mothers expressed the beliefthat breast milk is healthy and protects babies from diseases.Of the mothers who discontinued exclusive breastfeeding,44.3% did so because they thought their milk was insufficientfor their babies. In addition, 56.5% of mothers continuedexclusive breastfeeding at post-natal month 4 and 35.2% atmonth 6. A higher percentage of mothers with a high levelof education continued exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.011).There was no statistically significant difference between thedifferent age groups in terms of breastfeeding behaviour.Mothers with healthy medical histories were found to havecontinued exclusive breastfeeding for longer periods thanthe others (p=0.037). Mothers who had help at home alsocontinued exclusive breastfeeding for longer periods (p=0.031).Mothers using pacifiers were found to have a higher exclusivebreastfeeding discontinuation rate than the others (p=0.007).Conclusion: The leading reasons for discontinuing breastfeedingare incorrect and inadequate information about breastfeeding.Therefore, it is imperative that mothers are supported withappropriate and consistent education, both before and afterbirth, regarding the benefits of continued breastfeeding.

Sadece Anne Sütü ile Beslemeye Etki Eden Faktörlerin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz:
Amaç: Anne sütü, bebekler için eşsiz bir besin kaynağı olmasının yanı sıra anne sağlığı ve toplum ekonomisi için de önemlidir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü ve Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuklara Yardım Fonu ilk 6 ay sadece anne sütüyle beslenmeyi desteklemektedir. Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya hastanemizde doğum yapan 355 anne ve bebeği dahil edildi. Annelere uygulanan ankette; anne sütü hakkındaki düşünceleri, sadece anne sütüyle beslemeye devam etme ya da etmeme sebepleri soruldu. Anne, baba ve bebek için sosyo-kültürel ve sosyo-ekonomik özellikler dahil olmak üzere tüm sosyo-demografik veriler kaydedildi. Anneler emzirme davranışlarına göre gruplandırıldı ve karşılaştırıldı. Babaların sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin annelerin emzirme davranışları üzerine etkileri araştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmadaki annelerin %49’u anne sütünün sağlıklı olduğuna ve bebekleri hastalıklardan koruduğuna inanıyordu. Emzirmeyi bırakan annelerin %44,3’ü sütlerinin bebekleri için yetersiz olduğunu düşünüyordu. Annelerin %56,5’i bebeklerini doğum sonrası ilk 4 ay sadece anne sütü ile beslerken, %35,2’si ilk 6 ay sadece anne sütü ile beslediği görüldü. Emzirme davranışı açısından farklı yaş grupları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. Yüksek eğitim düzeyine sahip anneler ve sağlıklı tıbbi öyküsü olan annelerin sadece anne sütü ile beslemeyi diğerlerinden daha uzun süre sürdürdüğü bulundu (p=0,011), (p=0,037). Evde yardımcısı olan anneler daha uzun süre sadece anne sütü ile beslemeye devam ettiler (p=0,031). Emzik kullanan annelerin sadece anne sütü ile beslemeyi daha önce bıraktıkları bulundu (p=0,007). Sonuç: Emzirmeyi bırakmanın başlıca nedenleri emzirme hakkında yanlış ve yetersiz bilgilerdir. Bu nedenle annelerin, emzirmeye devam etmenin yararları konusunda hem doğumdan önce hem de sonra uygun ve tutarlı bir eğitim ile desteklenmesi zorunludur
