Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is considered the transition period from childhood to adulthood. Pregnancy at an early age is encountered for various reasons, along with the sexuality that begins in this period. Having a child at an early age carries a high risk for both mother and baby. Objective: This study was conducted to determine adolescent mothers' socio-demographic, pregnancy, and birth characteristics in Bartın province. Method: The study was conducted as cross-sectional and descriptive. 89 adolescent women who gave birth between August and December 2008 in Bartın province constituted the population. Data were collected through a survey created by the researchers in line with the literature. SPSS 15.0 package program was used to evaluate the data. Mean and percentage were used in statistical evaluation. Results: It was determined that 83% of the adolescent mothers, whose average age was 18, 3 ±0.73 years, were older adolescents, 15% had primary school education or lower, 98% were housewives and worked unpaid in family businesses, and 14% did not have any social security. While 54% of the mothers live in the nuclear family before marriage, 78% live in the extended family after marriage. It was observed that 52% of the adolescent mothers got married by escaping, and 87% had adolescent marriages. It was determined that most adolescent mothers did not receive any information about family planning methods before marriage and did not use pre-pregnancy family planning methods. It was observed that 65% of the adolescent mothers had health problems during their pregnancies, 21% of the babies born had health problems postpartum, 16% of the babies were prematüre, and 8.9% had low birth weight. Conclusion: Adolescent mothers should receive family planning information and counseling to prevent adolescent pregnancies, an essential maternal and child health risk group. In primary care studies, it is thought that the risks to maternal and infant health will be reduced by planning appropriate reproductive health services for adolescents.

Özet

Giriş: Adölesan dönem, çocukluktan erişkinliğe geçiş dönemi olarak kabul edilir. Bu dönemde başlayan cinsellikle beraber çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı erken yaşta gebeliklere rastlanmaktadır. Erken yaşta çocuk sahibi olmak hem anne, hem de bebek için yüksek risk taşımaktadır. Amaç: Bu araştırma Bartın İlinde yaşayan doğum yapmış adölesan annelerin sosyo-demografik, gebelik ve doğum özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı olarak yürütülmüştür. Bartın ili genelinde, 2008 yılı Ağustos –Aralık ayları arasında doğum yapan 89 adölesan kadın evreni oluşturmuştur. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından literatür doğrultusunda oluşturulan anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 15.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede ortalama ve yüzde kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 18,3 ±0.73 yıl olan adölesan annelerin %83 ünün ileri yaş adölesan, %15 inin ilkokul ve altı öğrenim düzeyine sahip olduğu, % 98 inin ev hanımı ve aile işlerinde ücretsiz olarak çalıştığı, %14 ünün herhangi bir sosyal güvencesi olmadığı saptanmıştır. Annelerin evlilik öncesi %54 ü çekirdek ailede yaşıyorken, evlilik sonrası %78 i geniş ailede yaşamaktadır. Adölesan annelerin %52 sinin kaçarak evlendiği ve %87 sinin yakınlarının da adölesan evlilik yaptığı görülmüştür. Adölesan annelerin çoğunluğunun evlenmeden önce aile planlaması yöntemleri hakkında hiç bilgi almadığı ve gebelik öncesi aile planlaması yöntemi kullanmamış olduğu saptanmıştır. Adölesan annelerin %65 inin gebeliklerinde sağlık sorunu yaşadığı, doğan bebeklerin %21 inde doğumdan sonraki dönemde sağlık problemi olduğu ve bebeklerin %16 sının prematür, %8.9 unun düşük doğum ağırlıklı olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Anne ve çocuk sağlığı açısından önemli bir risk grubunu oluşturan adölesan gebelikleri önlemek için adölesan kadınların aile planlaması bilgisi ve danışmanlığı almaları gerekmektedir. Birinci basamak çalışmalarında adölesanlara yönelik uygun üreme sağlığı hizmeti planlamasının yapılmasıyla anne ve bebek sağlığına yönelik risklerin azaltılacağı düşünülmektedir.
