Abstract

Purpose:The research was conducted to determine the relationship between postpartum acute stress, social support and depressive symptom level and depression.
Patients and Methods:This descriptive study was conducted with 280 primiparous women who childbirth in a public hospital in Istanbul. The data were collected by general information form, Acute Stress Symptom Severity Scale (National Stressful Events Survey Acute Stress Disorder Short Scale-NSESSS), Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The data were analysed by the SPSS program.
Results:The mean age of the women included in the study was 24.75 ± 4.75, 13.6% of the women worked regularly, 62.1% lived in the small family, 19.3% experienced at least one traumatic event during their life, 2.9% had a history of domestic violence and 60.4% had normal vaginal birth. The total score point mean for NSESSS was found to be statistically significant, higher in the event of domestic violence (p<0.05) and lower in the case of breastfeeding the baby only (p<0.05) It was found that the women in the study had increased the level of acute stress as the social support level decreased (p<0.05) and the depressive symptoms increased as the acute stress level increased (p<0.05)
Conclusion:It was determined that women\'s lack of social support increased the level of acute stress symptoms and depressive symptoms increased as acute stress increased. Therefore, especially women with low social support and other risky women should be closely follow-up by healthcare professionals in the postpartum period.

Postpartum Akut Stresin, Sosyal Destek ve Depresif Belirti Düzeyi ile İlişkisi

Year 2021, Volume: 12 Issue: 2, 502 - 509, 01.04.2021
https://doi.org/10.31067/acusaglik.850905

Abstract

Amaç:Araştırma postpartum akut stresin, sosyal destek ve depresif belirti düzeyi ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacı ile yapılmıştır.
Hastalar ve Yöntem:Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma, İstanbul’da bir kamu hastanesinde doğum yapan ve postpartum 1. ayda olan 280 primipar kadınla yapılmıştır. Veriler Genel Bilgi Formu, Akut Stres Belirti Şiddeti Ölçeği (ASBÖ), Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon Ölçeği (EDSDÖ) ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği (ÇBASDÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS programı ile değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular:Araştırma kapsamına alınan kadınların yaş ortalaması 24.75±4.75, kadınların %13.6’sının düzenli bir işte çalıştığı, %62.1’i çekirdek ailede yaşadığı, %19.3’ü yaşam boyunca en az 1 kez travmatik olayla karşılaştığı %2.9’u aile içi şiddet öyküsünün olduğu ve %60.4’ünün normal doğum yaptığı belirlendi. ASBÖ toplam puan ortalaması istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde, aile içi şiddet yaşama durumunda daha yüksek olduğu (p<0.05) ve bebeğini yalnızca anne sütü ile besleme durumunda ise daha düşük olduğu (p<0.05) belirlendi. Araştırmada yer alan kadınların sosyal destek düzeyi azaldıkça akut stres düzeyinin arttığı (p=0.001), akut stres düzeyi arttıkça depresif belirtilerinin de arttığı (p<0.001) saptandı.
Sonuç:Kadınların sosyal destek eksikliğinin akut stres belirti düzeyini artırdığı ve akut stres arttıkça depresif belirtilerin de arttığı belirlendi. Bu nedenle özellikle sosyal desteği düşük olan kadınların ve diğer riskli kadınları, postpartum dönemde sağlık çalışanları tarafından daha yakından takip etmelidir.
