Abstract:

 This study was conducted to determine the relationship between pregnancy intention and childhood adversity, pregnancy happiness and breastfeeding behaviour. The descriptive study was conducted in two phases in a hospital in eastern Turkey between November 2022 and October 2023. In the first phase, 316 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were reached. Mothers who could not be reached in the 6th postnatal month and those with health problems that might affect breastfeeding were excluded from the study and the study was completed with 216 participants. The data of the study were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Pregnancy Intention Determination Form, Pregnancy Happiness Determination Form, the Adverse Childhood Experience Turkish Form ACE-TR and Postpartum Breastfeeding Behaviour Determination Form. It was determined that there was a positive correlation between pregnancy intention and pregnancy happiness r.597; p0.000, and a negative and significant correlation between the categorical scores of the Childhood Negative Experiences Scale r-.372; p0.000, family type r-.071; p0.000, and parity r-.373; p0.000. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the participants who did not wantunplanned pregnancy had less pregnancy happiness and were more exposed to negative childhood experiences, while there was no relationship between pregnancy intention and the time of first breastfeeding. As a result, it was found that participants who did not wantunplanned their pregnancy had less pregnancy happiness and were more exposed to negative childhood experiences, and it may be recommended that these parameters should be considered as part of standard prenatal care.

 Bu araştırma gebelik niyeti ile çocukluk çağı sıkıntıları, gebelik mutluluğu ve emzirme davranışı arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırma Kasım 2022-Ekim 2023 tarihleri arasında Türkiyenin doğusundaki bir hastanede, iki aşamada yürütüldü. İlk aşamada araştırmaya alınma kriterlerini sağlayan 316 gebeye ulaşıldı. Doğum sonu 6. ayda ulaşılamayan anneler ve emzirmeyi etkileyebilecek sağlık sorunu olanlar çalışmadan dışlanarak 216 katılımcı ile çalışma tamamlandı. Araştırmanın verileri Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Gebelik Niyetini Belirleme Formu, Gebelik Mutluluğu Belirleme Formu, Çocukluk Çağı Olumsuz Yaşantılar Ölçeği Türkçe Formu ÇÇOYÖ, Doğum Sonu Emzirme Davranışını Belirleme Formu kullanılarak toplandı. Gebelik niyeti ile gebelik mutluluğu arasında pozitif yönde r.597; p0.000, ÇÇOYÖ kategorik puanları r-.372; p0.000, aile tipi r-.071; p0.000, parite r-.373; p0.000, arasında negatif yönde, anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç olarak gebeliğini istemeyenplanlanmamış katılımcıların gebelik mutluluğunun daha az olduğu, çocukluk çağı olumsuz yaşantılara daha fazla maruz kaldığı saptanırken, bu parametrelerin standart doğum öncesi bakımın bir parçası olarak ele alınması önerilebilir.
