Izkušnje staršev ob kolikah pri dojenčku : poročilo o raziskavi

Dolšak, Anita (author), Vettorazzi, Renata (mentor)

Uvod: Kolike ali neutolažljivo jokanje otroka je najpogostejši vzrok, zaradi katerega straši poiščejo zdravniško pomoč v prvih mesecih življenja dojenčka. Do zdaj ne obstaja enotna opredelitev in način zdravljenja, posledično nam primanjkuje tudi informacij o kolikah. V tem obdobju obstaja tveganje za moteno interakcijo med starši in otrokom ter nastanek izčrpanosti in stresa pri starših. Pomembna naloga zdravstvenih delavcev v tem obdobju je ustrezno informirati starše o kolikah in načinih, kako jih obvladovati in jim nuditi podporo. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je ugotoviti, kakšne izkušnje imajo starši ob kolikah pri dojenčku v Sloveniji. Metode dela: Raziskava je temeljila na deskriptivni metodi kvantitativnega raziskovanja. Za zbiranje podatkov smo uporabili spletni vprašalnik. Raziskava je potekala od 22. decembra 2016 do 22. januarja 2017. Sodelovale so lahko matere, ki so imele v času raziskave otroka starega do enega leta in je imel kolike. Podatke smo obdelali s pomočjo spletne strani EnKlikAnketa ter računalniškim programom Microsoft Office Excel. Rezultati: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 252 mater, starih med 19 in 39 let. Od tega je polovica mater kot vir z zelo veliko informacijami o kolikah uporabila internet, skoraj tretjina je veliko informacij dobila od pediatra. Kar dve tretjini mater so prejele podporo s strani partnerja, medtem ko s strani zdravstvenih delavcev niso prejele nikakršne podpore. Pri lajšanju znakov in simptomov kolik so kot najučinkovitejšo metodo navedle hojo z otrokom v naročju. Večina mater ni poskusila zdraviti kolik. Razprava in sklep: Potrebnih je več raziskav, s katerimi bi pridobili podatke, kakšne izkušnje imajo starši s kolikami in kako se z njimi soočajo. S tem bi zdravstveni delavci lažje pristopali k staršem z otrokom, ki ima kolike. Rezultati raziskave kažejo na večjo potrebo informiranosti staršev in vključenost zdravstvenih delavcev pri soočanju s kolikami.

• Title: Parents' experiences with infantile colic : research report

Abstract

Introduction: Infant colic or excessive crying are the most frequent cause of doctor visits in the first few months of an infant’s life. The pathology is not well understood and there is no uniform definition and treatment approach. Therefore, in this period, the interaction between infant and parents is at risk. Parents are distressed and may become exhausted. During this period the role of healthcare providers is to properly inform the parents about infant colic presentation, management and provide them with the needed support. Purpose: The aim of this dissertation is to assess parental experience with infantile colic in Slovenia. Methods: The research method used was a descriptive quantitative study. In this study were included mothers of children with infantile colic aged up to one year. Data was collected with an online survey, between 22nd December 2016 and 22nd January 2017. The data was then analysed by using the website EnKlikAnketa and computer programme Microsoft Office Excel. Results: The study included 252 mothers between the ages of 19 to 39. Half of mothers listed internet as a source of information about infantile colic, almost a third received the information from their paediatrician. Two thirds of mothers had the support of a partner and no mother received any support from healthcare providers. The most efficient method for relieving colic according to the mothers is holding their infant in their arms while walking. Most mothers didn’t try any medical treatment for infantile colic. Discussion and conclusion: More research on parental experience with infant colic and their management is needed in order for healthcare providers to more efficiently easily approach infants with colic. The results of the study show the greater need of informing the parents on infantile colic and a greater involvement of healthcare providers in coping with colic
