Özet

Menarş bir kadının yaşamında her zaman hatırlanan önemli bir fizyolojik olaydır. Mentrüel kanama ve menarşa bakış açısı; bireysel, toplumsal ve kültürel farklılıklar gösterebilir. Bazı toplumlarda gizlenmesi gereken ve utanılan bir hastalık/rahatsızlık durumu olarak algılanırken bazı toplumlarda büyümenin işareti olan bir mucizedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk adolesan kızlarda menarşa yönelik ilk duygusal tepkileri ve geleneksel uygulamaları tanımlamaktır. Tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Verilerin toplanmasında yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Bu form; yaş, eğitim düzeyi, menarş yaşı, menarşa yönelik bilgi, ilk duygusal tepki ve geleneksel uygulamaları içermektedir.
