Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare breastfeeding and related factors (age, level of education, age at first pregnancy, etc.), and complementary feeding practices between Syrian refugee and native Turkish mothers. Material and methods: This descriptive-comparative study examined the nutritional characteristics of infants aged 9 to 60 months whose mothers were Turkish or Syrian refugees who attended Kızıltepe State Hospital between January 2022 and July 2022. Results: 204 mothers (126 Turkish and 78 Syrian) who had a child aged 9-60 months were included. The average age of the mothers was 27.60 ± 5.17 years for Turkish citizens and 28.91 ± 5.62 for Syrian refugees, without significant difference between the two groups (p: 0.091). Postpartum breastfeeding was 91.3% and breastfeeding duration was 12 (0-24) months in Turkish citizens; in Syrian refugees, breastfeeding was 84.6% and average breastfeeding time was 9 (0- 24) months (respectively, breast milk intake p: 0.144, uptake time p: 0.161; no statistical difference). Breastfeeding training was received by 23.8% of Turkish citizens and 5.1% of Syrian refugees; there was a significant difference between the two groups (p: 0.001). Conclusion: In refugee groups, infant and maternal nutrition practices are disrupted. Working in conjunction with local and international organizations and state agencies that give help to refugee groups, the appropriate interventions, initiatives, supports, and awareness-raising activities would strive to improve practices in mother and baby nutrition and narrow gaps.

评估土耳其和叙利亚难民母亲的母乳喂养行为和辅食喂养方法。
研究目的本研究的目的是比较叙利亚难民母亲和土耳其本地母亲的母乳喂养和相关因素(年龄、教育水平、首次怀孕年龄等)以及辅食喂养方法。材料和方法:这项描述性比较研究调查了2022年1月至2022年7月期间在Kızıltepe州立医院就诊的9至60个月婴儿的营养特征,这些婴儿的母亲分别是土耳其人或叙利亚难民。结果:204 位母亲(126 位土耳其人和 78 位叙利亚人)的孩子年龄在 9 到 60 个月之间。土耳其公民母亲的平均年龄为(27.60 ± 5.17)岁,叙利亚难民母亲的平均年龄为(28.91 ± 5.62)岁,两组之间无显著差异(P:0.091)。土耳其公民的产后母乳喂养率为 91.3%,母乳喂养时间为 12(0-24)个月;叙利亚难民的母乳喂养率为 84.6%,平均母乳喂养时间为 9(0-24)个月(分别为母乳摄入量 p:0.144,摄入时间 p:0.161;无统计学差异)。23.8%的土耳其公民和5.1%的叙利亚难民接受了母乳喂养培训;两组之间存在显著差异(P:0.001)。结论在难民群体中,婴儿和产妇的营养习惯被打乱了。与当地和国际组织以及向难民群体提供帮助的国家机构合作,采取适当的干预措施、倡议、支持和提高认识活动,将努力改善母婴营养的做法,缩小差距。
