Çocuk yoğun bakımdaki refakatçi annelerin kaygı, depresyon ve yaşam kalitesinin incelenmesi

Abstract

This study was planned to investigate the factors affecting anxiety, depression and quality of life of companion mothers of children who lived in Bezmialem Vakıf University Medical Faculty Children's Health and Diseases Department of Child Intensive Care and Child Care. Twenty mothers were evaluated in each group; A total of 40 people were included in the survey. Attendanting mothers were enrolled in Beck Depression Inventory (BDE), Nottingham Health Profile (NSP), Spielberger Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). For the statistical analysis, the SPSS program version 21 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) analysis program was used. Data from children's intensive care attending mothers and attending mothers; Mean, number and percentage distributions were evaluated by Student-t and Kruskal Wallis tests. Statistical significance level was accepted as p <0.05. Three children (neurological, surgical, respiratory failure) were divided into three subgroups according to the reasons of admission. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test technique was applied to compare the anxiety, depression and quality of life levels of the mothers in these subgroups with each other. There was no statistically significant difference in the anxiety, depression and quality of life levels of the mothers between the disease groups (p> 0.05) when the anxiety, depression and quality of life measures of the children of different disease groups were compared with the one way ANOVA in the independent groups. There was a statistically significant difference in the level of anxiety, depression and quality of life of the attendanting mothers in the intensive care unit compared to those of the attendanting mothers (p <0.001). We think that the attendanting mothers in the intensive care unit are more vulnerable to the situation of their children, more complex environment, more invasive procedures.
