Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the effect of pregnancy planning on well-being, quality of life and complaint level during pregnancy Methods: This research was designed as analytical-cross-sectional and comparative. A total of 150 pregnant women, including planned (75) and unplanned (75) pregnancies, completed this study. The research data was collected between 15.02.2024 and 15.12.2024 with the Pregnancy Information Form, Well-Being in Pregnancy Scale (WIP) and Scale of Complaints During Pregnancy and Their Effect on Quality of Life (SCPEQL). Results: According to the results of the study, the mean scores of WIP and SCPEQL were found to be lower in unplanned pregnancies. The statistical difference between the groups was found to be significant (p<0.05). According to the logistic regression analysis findings, it was determined that the level of perceived well-being (OR=0.879) decreased in unplanned pregnancies. It has been determined that pregnancy complaints have a predictive effect on low quality of life scores (OR = 1.019) in unplanned pregnancies. Conclusion: It was observed that the planning status of the pregnancy significantly affected the WIP and SCPEQL scores in favor of planned pregnancies. This result provides evidence that pregnancy planning increases well-being during pregnancy and increases quality of life by providing a positive effect on pregnancy-related complaints.

Özet

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı gebeliğin planlanma durumunun gebelik süreci içerisinde iyilik hali, yaşam kalitesi ve yakınma düzeyine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Bu araştırma analitik-kesitsel ve karşılaştırmalı türde tasarlanmıştır. Bu araştırma gebeliği planlı (75) ve plansız (75) olmak üzere toplam 150 gebe tamamlanmıştır. Araştırma verileri 15.02.2024-15.12.2024 tarihleri arasında Gebe Bilgi Formu, Gebelikte İyilik Ölçeği (GİÖ) ve Gebelikteki Yakınmalar ve Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi Ölçeği (GYYKEÖ) ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma sonuçlarında plansız gebeliklerde GİÖ ve GYYKEÖ skor ortalamaları daha düşük bulunmuştur. Gruplar arasındaki istatistiksel fark ise anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Lojistik regresyon analiz bulgularına göre, plansız gebeliklerde algılanan iyilik düzeyinin (OR=0.879) düştüğü saptanmıştır. Gebelik yakınmaları artan plansız gebeliklerde düşük yaşam kalite skorları (OR=1.019) üzerinde ön görücü olarak etkilediği saptanmıştır. Sonuçlar: Çalışmamızda gebeliğin planlanma durumunun, GİÖ ve GYYKEÖ skorlarını planlı gebeliklerin lehine anlamlı düzeyde etkilediği görülmüştür. Bu sonuç gebeliğin planlanma durumunun gebelikte iyilik halini arttırdığına, gebeliğe yönelik yakınmalarda olumlu etki sağlayarak yaşam kalitesi düzeyini arttırdığına dair kanıt sunmaktadır.
