Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the knowledge level of first-time mothers regarding digestive health issues in infancy and to examine the utilization of healthcare facilities for such problems.

Methods: Data from 119 first-time mothers of infants under 6 months of age were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted using the SPSS software.

Results: The average correct response rate for first-time mothers' knowledge of digestive health problems in infancy was 61.9%. The highest correct response rate was observed for infantile colic, while diarrhea had the lowest. Less than 50% of mothers received education on infant digestive health problems across all categories. Among digestive health problems in infancy, diarrhea exhibited the highest rate of healthcare utilization, whereas infantile colic had the lowest. First-time mothers' knowledge of digestive health problems in infancy varied based on maternal age (t=-3.66, p<.001), education level (t=-2.26, p=.026), and planned pregnancy (t=3.24, p=.002). Moreover, mothers who received education on infant digestive health problems demonstrated better overall knowledge of digestive health problems.

Conclusion: The rate of education regarding digestive health problems during infancy among first-time mothers was < 50%. Furthermore, mothers educated on infant digestive health issues exhibited improved knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to provide appropriate pre-education to primiparous common gastrointestinal health issues in infants.

南韩初为人母者对婴儿期消化系统健康问题的了解及其因消化系统健康问题而使用医疗设施的情况:一项描述性研究。
目的:本研究旨在评估初为人母者对婴儿消化系统健康问题的了解程度,并考察她们在遇到此类问题时对医疗设施的使用情况:分析了 119 名 6 个月以下婴儿的初为人母者的数据。使用 SPSS 软件进行描述性统计、t 检验和单因素方差分析(ANOVA):结果:初为人母者对婴儿期消化系统健康问题知识的平均正确回答率为 61.9%。婴儿肠绞痛的正确回答率最高,而腹泻的正确回答率最低。在所有类别中,接受过婴儿消化健康问题教育的母亲不到 50%。在婴儿消化系统健康问题中,腹泻的医疗利用率最高,而婴儿肠绞痛的医疗利用率最低。初为人母者对婴儿期消化道健康问题的了解程度因母亲年龄而异(t=-3.66,p 结论:初为人母者对婴儿期消化道健康问题的了解程度因母亲年龄而异:初为人母者对婴儿期消化系统健康问题的教育率小于 50%。此外,接受过婴儿消化道健康问题教育的母亲的知识水平有所提高。因此,有必要对初产妇进行适当的婴儿常见消化道健康问题的岗前教育。
