Uvod: Številne ženske iščejo informacije o nosečnosti, porodu in poporodnem obdobju, ki bi jim pomagale pri prehodu v starševstvo. Zaradi pandemije koronavirusne bolezni Covid-19, ki je močno prizadela ljudi in zdravstvo po vsem svetu, so se priprave na porod in starševstvo izvajale nekoliko drugače. V veliki večini so nosečnice pridobivale informacije prek spleta. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil raziskati uporabo digitalnih medijev kot vir informacij o nosečnosti in porodu pri nosečnicah ter kako so le-ti v času pandemije pripomogli k pridobivanju potrebnih informacij. Metode dela: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda, kjer smo pregledali slovensko in tujo strokovno literaturo. Iskanje literature je potekalo v podatkovnih bazah Science Direct, DiKUL, Cochrane Library in s spletnim iskalnikom Google Učenjak. Kot ključne besede smo uporabili: nosečnost, medije, šolo za starše, pripravo na porod in starševstvo. Nato smo uporabili kvantitativen pristop in kot merski instrument oblikovali spletni anketni vprašalnik, izdelan v spletnem orodju 1KA. Deljen je bil prek družbenih omrežij Facebook in Instagram, sodelovanje je bilo prostovoljno in anonimno, kar smo na začetku ankete tudi jasno izrazili. Vstopna kriterija sta bila: nosečnost ženske v obdobju pandemije koronavirusne bolezni Covid-19 in uporaba digitalnih medijev vsaj enkrat za iskanje informacij o nosečnosti in porodu. Rezultati: V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 355 žensk, med katerimi je bila najpogostejša starost med 25 in 35 let. Večina anketirank je uporabljala digitalne medije kot glavni vir informacij, in sicer vsak dan. Kot najpogostejša vzroka za njihovo uporabo so izrazile 24-urno razpoložljivost in boljšo dostopnost do informacij. 53 % anketirank v času nosečnosti ni obiskovalo priprav na porod in starševstvo, med tem ko jih je 26 % obiskovale priprave prek spleta, 17 % v živo in 4 % v kombinaciji - prek spleta in v živo. Anketiranke so kot najboljšo lastnost spletnih priprav na porod in starševstvo navedle možnost spremljanja predavanj od doma, kot slabost so poudarile pomanjkanje praktičnih prikazov postopkov. Razprava in zaključek: Pandemija je velik razlog za večje poseganje po digitalnih medijih za iskanje informacij o porodu in poporodnem obdobju. Digitalni mediji so pomemben vir informacij za nosečnice, vendar je njihova kredibilnost lahko vprašljiva. Zaradi tega je vloga babic pravilno usmerjanje, vodenje in svetovanje nosečnicam ter priporočanje strokovno podprtih virov informacij. Večina anketirank je poudarila, da bi splet in druge vrste digitalnih medijev uporabljale v isti meri, tudi če ne bi bilo pandemije. Uporabno bi bilo izvedeti, kako je koronavirus vplival na partnerje in s kakšnimi izzivi so se morali spoprijemati zaradi danih ukrepov.

• Title: Use of digital media as a source of pregnancy and birth information : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Many women are looking for information about pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period to help them transition into parenthood. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has severely affected people and healthcare around the world, preparations for childbirth and parenthood have been carried out somewhat differently. The vast majority of pregnant women had obtained information online. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the use of digital media as a source of information about pregnancy and childbirth in pregnant women and how they helped to obtain the necessary information during the pandemic. Methods: A descriptive method was used, where we reviewed Slovenian and foreign professional literature. The literature was searched in the Science Direct, DiKUL, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar databases. We used the following keywords: pregnancy, media, antenatal class, childbirth education. We then used a quantitative approach and designed an online questionnaire developed in the 1KA online tool as a measuring instrument. It was shared through social networks Facebook and Instagram, where the participation was voluntary and anonymous, which we also made clear at the beginning of the survey. The entry criteria were: pregnancy of a woman during the Covid-19 coronavirus disease pandemic and the usage of digital media at least once to search for information on pregnancy and birth. Results: The study included 355 women, among whom the most common age was 25 and 35 years old. Most of the respondents used digital media as their main source of information on a daily basis. They expressed 24-hour availability and better access to information as the most common causes. 53 % of the respondents did not attend for childbirth and parenthood preparations, while 26% visited them online, 17% live and 4% in combination – online and live. Respondents cited the possibility of attending lectures from home as the best feature of online preparation for childbirth and parenthood, and pointed out the lack of practical exercises as a disadvantage. Discussion and conclusion: The pandemic is a major reason for greater encroachment on digital media to seek information on childbirth and the postpartum period. Digital media is an important source of information for pregnant women, but their credibility may be questionable. For this reason, the role of midwives is to properly guide and counsel pregnant women and to recommend professionally supported sources of information. Most respondents pointed out that the web and other types of digital media would be used to the same extent, even in the absence of a pandemic. It would be useful to know how the pandemic affected the partners and what challenges they had to face as a result of the measures taken.
