Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Unintended pregnancies and induced abortions are major public health problems. To prevent these problems, it is important to understand the factors related to unintended pregnancy in Turkey. STUDY DESIGN: A a cross-sectional survey of 1012 women aged 15-49 were conducted in Middle Anatolia Region of Turkey. Women were selected from the population who applied to regional governmet hospitals. Incidence of unintended pregnancy and induced abortion, the factors associated with unintended pregnancy and abortion-seeking behaviour. RESULTS: Thirty nine percent of all Turkish women of reproductive age reported having had an unintended pregnancy, and half of those reported ever having sought to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Women with low socioeconomic status, low education level had higher unintended pregnancy and induced abortion rates (70% vs. 8%, 60% vs. 17%; 63% vs.12%, 29.8% vs. 19% respectively). CONCLUSION: Unintended pregnancy and induced abortion rates are high in Turkey. The provision of familly planning counselling and information about these issues may reduce the incidence.

Özet

İstenmeyen gebelikler ve küretaj önemli halk sağlığı problemlerinden biridir. İstenmeyen gebeliklerle ilgili faktörleri bilmek bu problemi çözmeye yardımcı olur. Afyon ve Uşak illerinden 15-49 yaşları arasında çeşitli sebeplerle hastaneye gelen 1012 kadın araştırmaya dahil edildi. Araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden olgulara istenmeyen gebelikler, küretaj, bunların sebepleri ve kullandıkları kontrasepsi-yon yöntemleri ile ilgili soruları içeren anket formu uygulandı. Çalışmamızda olguların %39'unun reprodüktif yaşlarında istenmeyen gebelik yaşadığı bunların da yarısının küretaj ile sonlandığı saptanmıştır. Sosyoekonomik seviyesi düşük olan olgularda istenmeyen gebelik %70, küretaj %60, sosyoekonomik düzeyi yüksek olanlarda istenmeyen gebelik %8, küretaj %17 bulunmuştur. Ayrıca eğitim düzeyi düşük olgularda istenmeyen gebelik %63, küretaj %29.8, eğitim düzeyi yüksek olan olgularda ise istenmeyen gebelik %12, küretaj %19 bulunmuştur. Türkiye'de istenmeyen gebelik ve küretaj oranı yüksek bulunmuştur. Aile planlaması yöntemleri hakkında etkili eğitim ve bunların doğru kullanımının bu yüksek oranı düşüreceği kanaatindeyiz.
