Abstract

Objective: In this study, the incidence and prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis was aimed to help to overcome the difficulties in explaining the data for the regions and it was aimed to investigate its prevalence in different social groups in Ordu and its environs. Methods: Trichomonas Questionnaire Form and Personal Information Form of T. vaginalis were used in those who came to the urology and gynecology outpatient clinics from Ordu province and its environs. Urine sediment from the patients of urology outpatient clinic and vaginal smear specimen from the patients of gynecology outpatient clinic were collected and analyzed. All samples were examined by Direct Microscopic Investigation, culture, Giemsa and Papanikolau (PAPS) stain. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way and two-way chi-square test. Results: In this study, 713 patients (202 males and 511 females) were examined. A total of 83 patients (11.6%) were positive. There was a difference in the frequency distribution of the individuals with positive T. vaginalis with respect to age, gender, marital status, economic status, educational status, settlement, working status and home living status, knowledge status about infectious diseases, going to the bath, going to the pool, traveling, type of toilet, use of toilet paper, discharge, discharge status, drug usage, abortion, and knowledge status about sexually transmitted diseases and T. vaginalis (p <0.001). Conclusion: In this study, it was concluded that marital status, economic status, education level, settlement, working status and travel frequency may be effective in transmission of parasite. In this respect, it was inferred that the transmission of T. vaginalis can be reduced with in-service and public health trainings on the parasite transmission and the ways of prevention
