Abstract

Background: In this study, it was aimed to determine the stigmatising attitudes, beliefs and behav-iours of women and men living in Şanlıurfa province towards abortion. Materials and Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of men and women between the ages of 18-65. The sample size was calculated as 292 according to the values ob-tained from the pilot study. The data of the study were collected by face-to-face interview tech-nique between July and August 2023 by using Personal Information Form and Stigmatising Atti-tudes, Beliefs and Behaviours Scale towards Abortion. In the evaluation of the data, percentage, mean, standard deviation from descriptive statistics; Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Anova and Spearman's Correlation analysis from univariate analysis; Logistic Regression analysis from multivariate analysis were used. Results: In the study, the mean score of the Scale of Stigmatising Attitudes, Beliefs and Behaviours Towards Abortion was 41.39±17.28. In univariate analyses, it was found that the scale score was significantly higher in males, married people, unemployed people, people with poor economic status, Arabic language speakers, people with primary education level and below, and there was a low level positive correlation between age and number of living children and the scale score (p<0.05). In the Logistic Regression analysis, it was determined that the scale score was significant-ly higher in males, those with poor economic status, those with an educational level of primary education and below, and those with three or more living children (p<0.05). Conclusions: In this study, it was determined that women and men living in Şanlıurfa province had moderate stigmatising attitudes, beliefs and behaviours towards abortion; and gender, education level, economic status and number of living children significantly affected attitudes, beliefs and behaviours.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Şanlıurfa ilinde yaşayan kadın ve erkeklerin kürtaja yönelik damgalayıcı tutum, inanç ve davranışlarını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metod: Kesitsel tipte olan bu araştırmanın evrenini, 18-65 yaş aralığındaki kadın ve erkekler oluşturmuştur. Örneklem büyüklüğü, pilot çalışmadan elde edilen değerlere göre 292 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu ile Kürtaja Yönelik Damgalayıcı Tutum, İnanç ve Davranışlar Ölçeği kullanılarak Temmuz-Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında, yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma; tek değişkenli analizlerden Mann Whitney U testi, Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Anova ve Spearman’s Korelasyon analizi; çok değişkenli analizlerden Lojistik Regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada, katılımcıların Kürtaja Yönelik Damgalayıcı Tutum, Inanç Ve Davranışlar Ölçeği puan ortalaması 41.39±17.28’dur. Tek değişkenli analizlerde; erkeklerde, evli olanlarda, çalışmayanlarda, ekonomik durumu kötü olanlarda, Arapça dil konuşanlarda, eğitim düzeyi ilköğretim ve altında olanlarda ölçek puanının anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu, yaş ve yaşayan çocuk sayısı ile ölçek puanı arasında düşük düzeyde pozitif yönlü bir korelasyon olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Lojistik Regresyon analizinde ise; erkeklerde, ekonomik durumu kötü olanlarda, eğitim düzeyi ilköğretim ve altında olanlarda, yaşayan çocuk sayısı üç ve üzeri olanlarda ölçek puanının anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, Şanlıurfa ilinde yaşayan kadın ve erkeklerin kürtaja yönelik orta düzeyde damgalayıcı tutum, inanç ve davranışa sahip olduğu; cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, ekonomik durum ve yaşayan çocuk sayısının tutum, inanç ve davranışları önemli düzeyde etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
