Title Znanje primalja o disforičnom refleksu otpuštanja mlijeka (D-MER) Title (english) Knowledge of midwives about dysphoric milk ejection reflex (D-MER) Author Barbara Kuzmić Mentor Aleksandra Stevanović (mentor)Mentor Magdalena Kurbanović (komentor) Committee member Helena Štrucelj (predsjednik povjerenstva) Committee member Natalija Vuletić (član povjerenstva) Committee member Magdalena Kurbanović (član povjerenstva) Granter University of Rijeka Defense date and country 2024-09-25, Croatia Scientific / art field, BIOMEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE Abstract Uvod: Disforični refleks otpuštanja mlijeka (D-MER) je stanje praćeno naglom pojavom disforičnih osjećaja neposredno prije otpuštanja mlijeka iz dojke. Mnogi zdravstveni djelatnici će ovaj fenomen zamijeniti sa postporođajnom depresijom i stoga je važna edukacija zdravstvenih djelatnika i žena o ovom fenomenu.
Cilj istraživanja: Glavni cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi znanje primalja o D-MER-u. Ostali ciljevi su utvrditi razinu znanja ovisno o stupnju obrazovanja, godinama radnog staža i pohađanju edukacije za dojenje unazad dvije godine, te utvrditi najčešći izvor informiranja o D-MER-u.
Ispitanici i metode: U online istraživanju sudjelovalo je 77 primalja od čega njih 28 (36,36%) sa srednjom stručnom spremom, a 49 (63,64%) s višom stručnom spremom. Upitnik je sadržavao 17 pitanja od čega se tri odnosilo na opisivanje uzorka, ostalih 10 za ispitivanje znanja o D-MER-u. Maksimalan broj bodova na testu znanja je iznosio 10 bodova.
Rezultati: Prosječno znanje primalja o D-MER-u iznosi M = 6,66 (SD = 1,501). Primalje s višom stručnom spremom imaju statistički značajno više znanja u odnosu na primalje sa srednjom stručnom spremom (U = 497,500 , p = 0,047). Razina znanja o D-MER-u statistički je značajno pozitivno povezana s godinama radnog staža (ρ = 0,34, p = 0,002). Statistički značajna razlika nije pronađena u znanju primalja koje su pohađale edukaciju o dojenju unazad dvije godine i koje je nisu pohađale (U = 587,500, p = 0,256). Najčešći izvor informiranja o D-MER-u je formalno obrazovanje.
Zaključak: Rezultati su pokazali kako primalje općenito nemaju dovoljno znanja o D-MER-u. Magistre primaljstva i one s više radnog staža imaju i više znanja nego primalje sa srednjom stručnom spremom i one s manje radnog staža. Ovo je prvo ovakvo istraživanje u Republici Hrvatskoj te rezultati ovog istraživanja mogu pridonijeti boljoj edukaciji i žena i primalja o D-MER-u kao poteškoći koja se javlja pri dojenju.
Abstract (english) Introduction: Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) is a condition characterized by a sudden onset of dysphoric feelings immediately before milk ejection from the breast. Many healthcare professionals may confuse this phenomenon with postpartum depression, highlighting the importance of educating both healthcare providers and women about this condition.
Objective: The main aim of this research was to assess midwives' knowledge about D-MER. Other objectives included determining the level of knowledge based on educational qualifications, years of work experience, and attendance at breastfeeding education in the past two years, as well as identifying the most common source of information about D-MER.
Participants and Methods: The online survey included 77 midwives, of whom 28 (36.36%) had secondary education, and 49 (63.64%) had higher education. The questionnaire contained 17 questions, three of which were related to describing the sample, and the remaining 10 assessed knowledge about D-MER. The maximum score on the knowledge test was 10 points.
Results: The average knowledge level about D-MER among midwives was M = 6.66 (SD = 1.501). Midwives with higher education had statistically significantly greater knowledge compared to those with secondary education (U = 497.500, p = 0.047). Knowledge about D-MER was statistically significantly positively correlated with years of work experience (ρ = 0.34, p = 0.002). No statistically significant difference was found in the knowledge of midwives who attended breastfeeding education in the past two years compared to those who did not (U = 587.500, p = 0.256). The most common source of information about D-MER was formal education.
Conclusion: The results indicated that midwives generally have insufficient knowledge about D-MER. Midwives with higher education and more years of experience have more knowledge than those with secondary education and less experience. This is the first study of its kind in the Republic of Croatia, and its findings may contribute to improved education for both women and midwives about D-MER as a breastfeeding issue.
