Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the factors influencing beliefs in sexual myths during pregnancy. The study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic of a public hospital between 01.03.2023 and 30.04.2023. The study sample consisted of 301 women who met the inclusion criteria between 01.03.2023 and 30.04.2023. Two forms were used for data collection in this study: the "Personal Information Form" and the ‘’Sexual Myths Scale’’. The participants had a mean age of 27.99±4.69 years, a mean length of education of 12.39±3.18 years, a mean gestational week of 29.70±5.02, a mean body mass index of 27.412±4.42, and a mean weight gain of 8.48±5.27 kg during pregnancy. The mean total score of the Sexual Myths Scale for participants was 72.29±17.197. The study found that pregnant women who married by family decision, did not have regular employment, and reported financial difficulties had higher beliefs in sexual myths. It was determined that beliefs in sexual myths are higher among pregnant women who married by family decision, live in extended families, are unemployed, and experience financial difficulties. These pregnant women should be closely monitored and provided with quality midwifery care.

Özet

Bu çalışma gebelikte cinsel mit inançlarını etkileyen faktörleri incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma bir kamu hastanesinin Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Polikliniğinde 01.03.2023-30.04.2023 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın örneklemini 01.03.2023 ile 30.04.2023 tarihleri arasında dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 301 kadın oluşturmuştur. Bu araştırmada veri toplamak için “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Cinsel Mitler Ölçeği” olmak üzere iki form kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 27,99±4,69 yıl, ortalama eğitim süresi 12,39±3,18 yıl, ortalama gebelik haftası 29,70±5,02, ortalama vücut kitle indeksi 27,412±4,42 ve ortalama kilo alımı 8,48± idi. Hamilelik sırasında 5,27 kg. Katılımcıların Cinsel Mitler Ölçeği toplam puanı ortalaması 72,29±17,197 idi. Araştırma, aile kararıyla evlenen, düzenli bir işi olmayan ve maddi sıkıntı yaşayan hamile kadınların cinsel mitlere olan inançlarının daha yüksek olduğunu ortaya çıkardı. Aile kararıyla evlenen, geniş ailede yaşayan, işsiz olan ve maddi sıkıntı yaşayan hamile kadınlarda cinsel mitlere olan inancın daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Bu gebelerin yakından takip edilmesi ve nitelikli ebelik bakımı sağlanması gerekmektedir.
