Kırsal Kesimde Yaşayan Gebelerin Kaygı Düzeylerinin Belirlenmesi

Year 2023, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 25 - 33, 27.03.2023

Abstract

Araştırma Türkiye’nin Akdeniz Bölgesinde yer alan bir ilin bir ilçesindeki köylerinde yaşayan gebelerin kaygı düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla kesitsel olarak planlanmıştır. Araştırma Aralık 2020-Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında 16., 22. ve 35. haftada olan 230 gebeyle yapılmıştır. Veri toplama araçları “Gebe Tanıtım Formu” ve “Cambridge Kaygı Ölçeği (CKÖ)” nden oluşmaktadır. Veriler bilgisayar ortamında sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma varyans analizi, Kruskal Wallis H ve Mann Whitney U testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Gebeliği 16. haftada olan gebelerin eşlerinin yaş grubuyla, ev halkı hane sayısıyla, gelir durumlarıyla ve gebelik sayısıyla CKÖ’nden aldıkları puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde farkın olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Şu anki gebeliğinde riskli durumu olduğunu ifade eden 16., 22. ve 35. haftada olan tüm gebelerin CKÖ puan ortalamaları gebeliğinde riskli durum olmadığını ifade edenlere göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olarak bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak gebelik haftası arttıkça gebelerin kaygı düzeyinin arttığı ve gebelerde kaygıyı arttıran bazı değişkenlerin olduğu görülmüştür. Sağlık çalışanları, gebedeki kaygıya sebep olan durumları belirleyip ona göre duyarlı davranmalı, eğitim ve danışmanlık hizmeti vermelidir.

Determination of Anxiety Levels of Pregnant Women Living in Rural Areas

Year 2023, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 25 - 33, 27.03.2023

Abstract

The research was planned sectionally for determining the anxiety levels of pregnant women living in a village in a region located in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. The research took part between December 2020 and April 2021 with 230 women who were 16, 22, and 35 weeks pregnant. Data collection tools consist of the "Pregnant Identification Form" and "Cambridge Anxiety Scale (CAS)." The data were assessed by number, percentage, mean, standard deviation analysis of variance, Kruskal Wallis H, and Mann Whitney U tests in a computer environment. A statistically significant difference was determined between the age group of the spouses of the pregnant women, household size, income status and the number of pregnancies at 16 weeks of pregnancy, and the mean scores they got from the CAS (p<0.05). All pregnant women at 16, 22, and 35 weeks who stated that they had a risky situation in their current pregnancy had mean CAS scores that were statistically significantly higher than those who stated that there was no risky situation in their pregnancy (p<0.05). Consequently, it was observed that as the week of pregnancy increased, the anxiety level increased as well, and there were some variables that increased anxiety in pregnant women. Health professionals should determine the situations causing anxiety in pregnant women and act sensitively accordingly and provide training and consultancy services.
