Aim: The research was conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional study in order to identify the traditional neonatal care practices applied by women in the 15-49 year age range. Methods: The research sample comprised 263 married mothers aged 15-49 years living in the seven health center regions in Sivas city center and agreeing to participate in the study between 7 March 2008 and 30 April 2008. In data collection, a questionnaire form devised by the researchers on the basis of expert opinion was used. The data collected were assessed by computer by means of percentage analysis and c 2 -tests. Results: The traditional neonatal care practices for treatment of jaundice, rash, thrush, earache, swelling in the baby's chest (milk accumulation), falling of the umbilical cord, umbilical infection, eye crust, nail cut, and temperature were examined. The most frequently conducted traditional practices were identified as rubbing swollen nipples, "making the forties" (bathing the mother and neonate in a special ritual on the 40th day postpartum), salting, using holluk (sand-filled nappy), and swaddling the baby. It was found that the mothers with low levels of education applied traditional practices like swaddling, salting, holluk, and making the forties more frequently (P < 0.05). Conclusion: According to the study findings, mothers practiced traditional applications at least once during neonatal care. It was observed that the lower the mother's educational level, the more frequent the traditional practices were applied. For this reason, neonatal healthcare services should be delivered by midwives/nurses or other healthcare workers.
Both FR and CTM can be used in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea and menstruation-related symptoms as these methods are free from the potentially adverse effects of analgesics, noninvasive, and easy to perform.
This study aimed to investigate the critical thinking tendencies and learning styles of midwifery and nursing students. Materials and Method: The sampling of the study consisted of a total of 364 students from Health College including 230 nursing and 134 midwifery students. A personal information form, the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory, and the Kolb Learning Style Inventory were used to collect the research data. Results: There was a significant difference in terms of gender in some of the sub-dimensions of the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory, however that the difference was not significant with regard to department and class. The analyses revealed that 43.7% of the students had diverging, 22.3% had assimilating, 19.0% had accommodating, and 15.1% had converging learning styles. A statistically significant difference was found between critical thinking dispositions based on learning styles. Converging learning style received the highest mean score, whereas diverging got the lowest among the critical thinking dispositions according to the learning styles that the students had. While analyticity, open-mindedness and being inquisitive had the highest mean scores in both subdimensions, systematicity received the lowest mean score. Conclusion: The students employed diverging subdimension most according to the learning styles they had, and that they had analytic thinking style regarding critical thinking dispositions. However, when the sub-dimensions of the two inventories were compared, there were differences between their learning styles and critical thinking dispositions.
Doğum tipi değişkeninin anne-bebek etkileşimi ve annenin bebeğini algılaması üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesi The investigation of the effects of the birth type variable on the mother-infant interaction and mother's perception of her the infant Amaç: Bu araştırma, normal vajinal doğum ile sezaryen doğumun anne bebek etkileşimi ve annenin yenidoğan bebeğini algılaması üzerine etkisinin belirlemek amacı ile kesitsel olarak yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini Anadolu'da bir devlet hastanesinde doğum yapan 4457 anne ve yenidoğan, örneklemini ise 01 Ekim-31 Aralık 2007 tarihleri arasında doğum yapan 230 anne ve yenidoğan oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri, anne-yenidoğan tanıtıcı özelliklerine ilişkin soru formu, Anne-Bebek Etkileşimi Değerlendirme Ölçeği, Yenidoğanı Algılama Ölçeği kullanılarak dört aşamada, gözlem ve yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler bilgisayarda (SPSS paket program) yüzdelik,ortalama,standart sapma, t testi, ki-kare testi, varyans analizi, ileri Bonferroni testi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Sezaryen doğum yapan annelerin ilk temas ve ikinci gün temas anne-bebek etkileşim puanı ortalamalarının 5-7 olduğu (%72-53.9); vajinal yolla doğum yapan annelere oranla daha fazla ebe/hemşireye ihtiyaç duyduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Annelerin bebeklerini negatif ve pozitif algılamaları ile doğum şekilleri arasındaki fark istatistiksek olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Pozitif algılayan annelerin bebeklerini ilk görme zamanlarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda özellikle sezaryen doğum yapan annelerin ilk temas ve ikinci gün temas anne-yenidoğan etkileşiminde önemli bir fark ile daha fazla desteğe ihtiyaç duydukları, doğumdan hemen sonra bebeğini görmenin pozitif algıyı artırdığı saptanmıştır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Anne-bebek etkileşim; ebelik; normal doğum; yeni doğanı algılama; sezaryen doğum. Introduction: Designed cross-sectionally, this study was conducted to determine the effects of normal vaginal birth and cesarean birth on mother-infant interaction and mother's perception of her infant. Methods: The universe of the study consisted of 4457 mothers who gave birth in a state hospital in Anatolia and their newborns. On the other hand, the sampling involved 230 mothers who gave birth between 1 October and 31 December 2007 and their newborns. The data of the study were collected at four stages through observations and face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire about informative characteristics of mother and newborn, Mother-Infant Interaction Scale, and Neonatal Perception Inventory. The data of the study were evaluated on a computer (SPSS software package) using percent, mean, standard deviation, t-test, Chi-square test, variance analysis, and advanced Bonferroni test. Results: The mean values of the first and second day contact scores of mother-infant interaction for mothers giving cesarean birth were determined to be 5-7 (%72-53.9), therefore they were found to need ...
