Item The Effect of Theory-Based Care on Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy, Anxiety and Breast Milk Release(Başkent Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi, 2024-04-12) Gurel, Reyyan; Erenel, Ayten SenturkObjective: The effect of nursing care provided according to Dennis' breastfeeding self-efficacy theory on breastfeeding self-efficacy, anxiety, and breast milk secretion was evaluated. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 60 mothers in the first week postpartum were examined. The mothers and their supporters in the Dennis Theory-Based Nursing Care group were trained. Before the training, mothers were given the personal information form and the breastfeeding diary form to be filled out for 15 days. The perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers was evaluated using the "Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale". Their anxiety was determined using the "State Anxiety Scale", and breast milk release was assessed using the "Daily Form for Baby's Adequate Nutrition". The parameters were measured on the first day and 15 days after the training. Routine hospital standard nursing care was provided to the mothers in the control group. Results: The number of formulas given by mothers in the Dennis Theory-Based Nursing Care group to their babies was significantly lower than the number of formulas given by the mothers in the control group (Z=-0.90, p<.001). While the post-evaluation breastfeeding self-efficacy scores of the mothers in the experimental group were significantly higher (Z=-6.82, p<.001), the post-evaluation anxiety scores were significantly lower than those of the mothers in the control group (Z=-6.38, p<.001). Conclusion: We found that applying Dennis' Theory-Based Nursing Care increased the breastfeeding self-efficacy level of the mothers and decreased their level of anxiety and the number of formulas that the babies received.Item Sexual Health/Reproductive Health-Related Problems of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People in Turkey and Their Health-Care Needs(2020) Taskın, Lale; Erenel, Ayten Senturk; Sozbir, Sengul Yaman; Gonenc, Ilknur Munevver; Yucel, Cigdem; Dikmen, Hacer Alan; Cetinkaya, Sahika SimsekAim: To determine sexual and reproductive health problems and needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people based on their experiences and to develop solutions. Method: A mixed method, which includes quantitative (descriptive) and qualitative (phenomenological) methods, was used (n=106). An online questionnaire was used to collect the data. Results: Of the participants, 42.5% stated that they had experienced problems receiving sexual and reproductive health-care services, and 77.8% of those who stated they had problems indicated that the attitude of the health-care professionals was discriminatory or unfavorable. In the qualitative analysis, two themes were created: "Experiences during Health-care Services" and "Recommendations for Health Services." Conclusion: It was determined that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have sexual problems, sexually transmitted diseases, and suffer from sexual harassment. However, it was found that they do not receive sufficient health-care due to health-care professionals' attitudes, homophobia, and disregard of privacy or confidentiality. In line with the results of the present research and the suggestions of the participants, it is suggested that training programs should be organized for health-care professionals providing services for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to raise awareness and ultimately promote more effective services.Item Knowledge and View of Mothers Whose Babies in Newborn Intensive Care Units About Breast Milk Banking in Turkey(2020) Gurel, Reyyan; Erenel, Ayten SenturkBACKGROUND/AIMS This study aimed to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitudes of mothers whose babies were in the newborn intensive care units about breast milk banking. MATERIALS and METHODS The participants of this descriptive research were 102 mothers who provided their oral and written consent for study participation and whose newborns were in the intensive care units during June to August 2016 (n=102). A p value <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. RESULTS We found a statistically significant relationship of the "Request to Benefit from Breast Milk Banking" with the educational background, working status, and the place where the mothers had spent most of their lives. In addition, there was a statistically significant relationship of the "Request to Donate Breast Milk to the Breast Milk Banks" with the place where the mothers had spent most of their lives, breastfeeding experience, and the institution from which they had received care before the delivery (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Although a considerable proportion of the mothers have positive thoughts about breast milk banking, they were hesitant about feeding their babies donor milk when needed.
