Identification of Factors Affecting Mother-Infant Bonding in Advanced Maternal Age
Journal Title: Lupine Online Journal of Nursing & Health care - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The definition of advanced maternal age is used for mothers at 35 years of age or older [1-3]. For the last few years, advanced maternal age has been the rising trend particularly in high-income countries [4]. Socioeconomic level, educational requirement, second marriage, lack of knowledge of contraception methods, and intention to stay in the workforce may increase the childbearing age above 35 [5,6]. A significant change has occurred in the age- specific fertility pattern in Turkey. While the overall fertility rate was 4.33 in 1978, it fell to 2.26 in 2013. Additionally, the age- specific fertility rate in pregnant women at 35 years of age or older was 143 per mile, whereas it decreased to 64 per mile in 2013. While the age-specific fertility rate was the highest in the age group 20-24 until TNSA-2003, it started to be distributed more evenly in the age-group 20-34 in TNSA-2003 and afterwards. According to TNSA-2013 data, the live-birth rates in pregnant women below and above 35 years of age are 3.87% and 8.36%, respectively [7]. As to the overall incidence in the world, 14% of the pregnancies occur at 35 years of age or older [8].
