Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to to determine the knowledge level, and to investivagate the attitudes of nursing/midwifery female students about social egg freezing for the preservation of fertility. Method: This research is descriptive. The research was carried out on 525 female students in nursing and midwifery department of a public university in Izmir between March and June 2018. The questionnaire prepared by the researchers was used to collect the data and the data were collected by face to face interview. Descriptive statistical methods were used to evaluate the data. Written permission was obtained from the Scientific Research and Publish Ethical Committe, and relevant faculties, to conduct to study. Results: The majority of the students (85.1%) stated that the most appropriate fertility age was between 25-29 years, and 51.8% stated that there was a significant decrease in the ability to become pregnant at age 40 and above. 65.6% of the students knew oocyte freezing, 31.2% social oocyte freezing. 31.2% stated that the ideal age range for freezing oocytes was 30-34 years of age for social reasons. Students have the highest number of social oocyte freeze; Women who are ≥35 years old (74.9%), women who postpone childbirth because of career and job opportunities (70.7%), women without appropriate spouse / partner (69.9%), and women who get the most cancer / chemotherapy treatment for medical reasons (74.5%). 23.3% of the students thought that they could consider oocyte freezing for social reasons and 13% of them could donate their eggs. Conclusion: It was determined that the knowledge level of nursing/midwifery students about the social egg freezing was low and the attitudes toward social egg freezing was negative.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, hemşirelik/ebelik kız öğrencilerinin, doğurganlığın korunmasına yönelik sosyal yumurta dondurma konusundaki bilgi ve tutumlarının belirlenmesidir. Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Araştırma Mart ve Haziran 2018 tarihleri arasında İzmir’de kamusal bir üniversitenin hemşirelik ve ebelik bölümünde eğitim gören 525 kız öğrencide yapılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan soru formu kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın yürütülebilmesi için bilimsel araştırma ve yayın etiği kurulundan, ilgili fakültelerden yazılı izin alınmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğu (%85.1) en uygun doğurganlık yaşını 25-29 yaş arası, %51.8’i 40 yaş ve üstünde gebe kalma yeteneğinde belirgin bir azalma olduğunu belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %65.6’sı yumurta dondurmayı, %31.2’si sosyal yumurta dondurmayı bilmiş, %31.2’si sosyal nedenlerle yumurta dondurmak için ideal yaş aralığının 30-34 yaş olduğunu söylemiştir. Öğrenciler sosyal yumurta dondurmanın en fazla ≥35 yaş bekar kadınlar (%74.9), kariyer ve iş fırsatları nedeniyle çocuk doğurmayı erteleyen kadınlar (%70.7), çocuk sahibi olabileceği uygun eşi/partneri olmayan kadınlar (%69.9), tıbbı nedenler için ise en fazla kanser/kemoterapi tedavisi alacak kadınlar (%74.5) için uygun olacağını belirtmişlerdir. Öğrencilerin %23.3’ünün gelecekte sosyal nedenlerden dolayı yumurta dondurmayı düşünebileceği, %13’ü yumurtalarını bağışlayabileceği belirtmiştir. Sonuç: Hemşirelik/ebelik öğrencilerinin sosyal yumurta dondurma konusundaki bilgi düzeylerinin düşük olduğu ve sosyal yumurta dondurmaya karşı tutumlarının olumsuz olduğu saptanmıştır.
