Mothers’ Perceptions of Social Support during the Postpartum Period: A Qualitative Study on Psychological Well-Being of Mothers
Öz
It was aimed to understand mothers’ perceptions of social support and their expectations during the postpartum period in this study. For this aim, the interview technique was used. For the study, 17 participants who gave birth within the last 6 months in Turkey were interviewed with open-ended questions via phone. It was tried to elaborate on social support in the postpartum period with detailed discussions with them. Using content analysis, the results were collected under three main themes, the most expected matter for support, expectations from mothers and mothers-in-law, and expectations from their partners in the postpartum period. With the main themes, 14 sub-themes were identified. Each sub-theme was discussed elaborately in the study. The result of this study shows that mothers can perceive some behaviors as support negatively. Based on the results, it can be said the content of the support is more important than the existence of social support for mothers. Also, who gives which type of support is important for them. In short, the expectations of mothers as social support should be considered in the postpartum period for their psychological well-being.

Annelerin Doğum Sonrası Döneme İlişkin Sosyal Destek Algıları: Annelerin Psikolojik İyi Oluşları Üzerine Nitel Bir İnceleme
Öz
Bu çalışmada, annelerin doğum sonrası döneme ilişkin sosyal destek algılarının ve beklentilerinin anlaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç kapsamında, Türkiye’nin çeşitli yerlerinden, son 6 ay içinde doğum yapmış 17 anne ile açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış form kullanılarak görüşülmüştür. Annelerle gerçekleştirilen görüşmeler ile birlikte doğum sonrası döneme ilişkin sosyal destek kavramı detaylandırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Sonuçlar içerik analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları, doğum sonrası dönemde en çok destek beklenilen konu, annelerden ve kayınvalidelerden beklentiler ve eşlerden beklentiler olmak üzere üç ana tema altında toplanmıştır. Belirlenen bu üç ana tema altında toplamda 14 alt tema belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada her bir alt tema ayrıntılı olarak tartışılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, sosyal destek amacıyla sergilenen bazı davranışların yeni doğum yapmış anneler tarafından olumsuz olarak algılanabileceğini göstermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlara dayanarak doğum sonrası dönemde sosyal desteğin varlığından ziyade sosyal destek içeriğinin daha önemli olduğu ifade edilebilir. Verilen desteğin içeriğine ek olarak, desteği veren kişinin kim olduğu da bu dönemde anneler açısından önemlidir. Kısacası doğum sonrası dönemde annelerin psikolojik iyi oluşları açısından, onların sosyal destek olarak beklentileri göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
