Drnovšek, Sara (author), Stanek Zidarič, Tita (mentor)

Uvod: Dojenje je brez dvoma najboljša izbira hranjenja za dojenčka. Krepi čustvene vezi med materjo in otrokom, njegovo uspešnost pa pogojuje občutek ugodja na strani matere in otroka. Odkrivanje radosti dojenja ni vedno najbolj enostavno in predstavlja velik izziv. Včasih je potrebno veliko pomoči in čustvene podpore za vzpostavitev procesa dojenja, ki še vedno lahko kadarkoli pripelje do stanja, ki je neugodno za mater, otroka ali oba skupaj. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je pregledati obstoječo literaturo, ki se navezuje na dojenje in zaplete, ki se pojavljajo med dojenjem, ter odgovoriti na dve temeljni raziskovalni vprašanji: ali je težava pri dojenju povod za opustitev dojenja ter kakšna sta doživljanje in počutje ob težavi pri dojenju. Namen je tudi predstaviti primer posameznice, ki se je v poporodnem obdobju srečala s težavami pri dojenju, obravnavo njenega zdravstvenega stanja in njeno doživljanje nastale situacije. Metode dela: V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela je uporabljena deskriptivna ali opisna metoda dela s sistematičnim pregledom, oceno in analizo povzete domače in tuje strokovne literature, ki proučuje zaplete, ki se navezujejo na dojenje v poporodnem obdobju. Opredeljene so značilnosti posameznega zapleta in kako postopati v primeru, da težava nastopi. V empiričnem delu diplomskega dela je uporabljena kvalitativna metodologija z namenom celovite predstavitve konkretnega primera posameznice – ženske, ki so jo spremljale težave v času dojenja. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo poglobljenega intervjuja in analizirani na podlagi induktivne in deskriptivne analize podatkov. Rezultati: Rezultat študije primera je poročilo, ki prikazuje posameznico v njenem življenjskem okolju z vidika njenih težav in stisk ter potreb po pomoči tretje osebe. Razprava in sklep: Vsak znak, ki kaže na pojav težave pri doječi materi, je treba obravnavati resno in se nanj primerno odzvati. Ženske je treba poučiti o procesu dojenja, tako s pozitivnimi kot negativnimi dejavniki, ki spremljajo dojenje. Pojav zapleta v času dojenja je zelo pogost in se ga lahko hitro odpravi, privede pa lahko tudi do opustitve dojenja, ki pa je nesmiselna in stanje le še poslabša. Pomembno je dejstvo, da je pogosto dojenje najboljše zdravilo za neugodno stanje doječe matere.

• Title: Mastitis and the experience of a woman who has complications during breastfeeding : case study

Abstract

Introduction: Breastfeeding is undoubtedly the best feeding choice for infants. It strengthens the emotional ties between mother and infant and its success is conditioned by pleasurable feelings on the part of mother and infant. Unveiling the joys of breastfeeding is not always straightforward and may present a major challenge. Sometimes it takes a lot of guidance and emotional support to establish the breastfeeding process, which can, nevertheless, at any time lead to an unfavourable state of mother, infant or both. Objectives: To review available literature on breastfeeding and possible complications that may arise during the process. To answer two fundamental research questions: (1) Does a problem related to breastfeeding give rise to breastfeeding abandonment? and (2) What are women’s experiences and feelings during troublesome breastfeeding?. To present an individual case of a mother who had difficulties breastfeeding in the postpartum period, the treatment of her state of health and her experiencing of the situation. Methods: In the theoretical part of the thesis, a descriptive method of research was adopted based on a systematic review, assessment and analysis of selected domestic and foreign scientific literature on postpartum breastfeeding complications. Characteristics of individual complications and action measures for treatment were defined. In the empirical part of the thesis, qualitative methodology was used in order to make a comprehensive presentation of an individual case – a woman facing problems with breastfeeding. The data were collected through an in-depth interview and analysed on the basis of inductive and descriptive data analysis. Results: The result of the case study is a report that depicts an individual woman in her living environment in terms of her difficulties and distress and the needs of third-party assistance. Discussion and conclusion: Any sign that indicates an emergence of a problem with breastfeeding needs to be considered seriously and appropriate action should be taken. Women need to be educated about the breastfeeding process and about positive as well as negative factors that influence breastfeeding. During the breastfeeding period, complications occur very frequently and can rapidly be resolved or on the other hand may lead to breastfeeding abandonment, which is unreasonable and makes the situation worse. It is an important fact that frequent breastfeeding is the best medicine for an unfavourable state of a nursing mother.
