Abstract

Amaç: Çalışma gebelik döneminde cinselliğe karşı tutum ile anksiyete arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve korelasyonel tipteki bu çalışma, Kasım 2022-Mart 2023 tarihleri arasında çevrimiçi olarak 268 gebe ile yürütüldü. Bulgular: Gebelerin gebelikte cinselliğe karşı tutumlarının orta düzeyde olumlu olduğu ve orta düzeyde anksiyeteye sahip oldukları bulunmuştur. Gebelikte cinselliğe yönelik inançların olumlu olması ve gebelikte cinselliği onaylama ile gebelerin anksiyete düzeyi arasında negatif, gebelikte cinsel birleşmeye yönelik kaygı ile anksiyete düzeyi arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, gebelikte cinselliğe karşı tutum ile gebeliğe ilişkin anksiyete arasında ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Birinci basamak sağlık kuruluşlarında görev alan ebeler başta olmak üzere tüm sağlık profesyonelleri gebelik izlemlerinde cinsellik konusuna yer verilmelidir.

Abstract

Objective: The study was carried out to determine the relationship between attitude towards sexuality and anxiety during pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted online with 268 pregnant women between November 2022 and March 2023. Results: It was found that the attitudes of pregnant women towards sexuality during pregnancy were moderately positive and they had moderate anxiety. It was determined that there is a negative relationship between positive beliefs about sexuality during pregnancy and approval of sexuality during pregnancy and the anxiety level of pregnant women, and a positive relationship between anxiety about sexual intercourse during pregnancy and anxiety level(p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings of the study show that there is a relationship between the attitude towards sexuality during pregnancy and anxiety about pregnancy. All health professionals, especially midwives working in primary health care institutions, should include the issue of sexuality in pregnancy follow-up.
