Abstract:

 Objective: The number of immigrants in the world is increasing rapidly. The vast majority of female immigrants are of reproductive age. Immigrant infants are added to the population every day. The purpose of this study is to determine challenges for neonatal intensive care unit nurses who care for infants of immigrant families. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological research design based on a semi-structured in-depth interview with 11 neonatal intensive care nurses. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for content analysis and responses were categorized into themes. Results: The two major themes identified from the data were: 1 language-related barriers and 2 culture-related barriers. Conclusion: Neonatal intensive care nurses who care for infants of immigrant families have communication problems as a result of the lack of interpreters and because of challenges cultural differences. This has the potential to affect the well-being. Study results can be used by nurses to improve the quality of care of immigrant infants and their families.

 Amaç: Dünyada göçmen sayısı hızla artmaktadır. Kadın göçmenlerin büyük çoğunluğu üreme çağındadır. Göçmen bebekler her gün nüfusa eklenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, göçmen ailelerin bebeklerine bakım veren yenidoğan yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin karşılaştıkları zorlukları belirlemektir. Yöntem: Araştırma tasarımı 11 yenidoğan yoğun bakım hemşiresi ile yarı yapılandırılmış derinlemesine görüşmeye dayalı nitel fenomenolojik tiptedir. Görüşmeler kayıt altına alınmış ve içerik analizi için yazıya dökülmüş ve cevaplar temalar halinde kategorize edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmada 1 dille ilgili engeller ve 2 kültürle ilgili engeller olmak üzere iki ana tema belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Göçmen ailelerin bebeklerine bakan yenidoğan yoğun bakım hemşireleri, tercüman eksikliği ve kültürel farklılıklar nedeniyle iletişim sorunları yaşamaktadır. Bu durum, ailelerin ve yenidoğanların iyilik halini etkileme potansiyeline sahiptir. Çalışma sonuçları göçmen bebeklerin ve ailelerinin bakım kalitesini artırmak için hemşireler tarafından kullanılabilir.
