Amaç: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencilerinin oosit kriyoprezervasyonuna yönelik tutumlarını değerlendirmektir.
Yöntem-Gereçler: Çalışmanın örneklemini İstanbul'daki iki üniversitenin ebelik ve hemşirelik bölümlerinde okuyan 342 kız öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü öğrencilere literatür doğrultusunda hazırlanan anket formu online uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 20.96±1.8’dir. Öğrenciler yaklaşık 25 yaşında çocuk sahibi olmak istediklerini belirtmişlerdir. %59.1’i kriyoprezervasyon hakkında bilgilerinin olduğunu, %19.9’u kariyeri için çocuk sahibi olmayı ertelemek için kullanabileceğini %57.6’sı ise kriyoprezervasyon ile kadınların annelik zamanını seçmede özgür olacaklarını belirtmiştir. Oosit kriyoprezervasyonunu daha çok tıbbi nedenlerle kabul edebilecekleri görülmektedir. Üreme hücrelerini etkileyen kanser tedavisi alacaklarsa (%63.7), yumurtalıkların etkilenmesine neden olacak cerrahi girişime maruz kalınmışsa (%59.9) ve erken yaşta menopoza girme riskleri varsa (%50.3) düşüneceklerini ifade etmişlerdir.
Sonuç: Öğrencilerin oosit kriyoprezervasyonu hakkındaki tutumları olumlu olmakla birlikte, daha çok tıbbi açıdan gerekli olması durumunda oosit kriyoprezervasyonunu kabul edebilecekleri bulunmuştur.

OOCYTE CRYOPRESERVATION: KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDES among TURKISH MIDWIFERY and NURSING STUDENTS

Öz

Aim: The objective of this descriptive study was to evaluate the attitudes towards oocyte cryopreservation among Turkish nursing and midwifery students.
Method: The sample consisted of 342 female students in midwifery and nursing departments of two universities in Istanbul. A questionnaire about their socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge and views about oocyte cryopreservation was applied online to the volunteer students.
Results: The average age of the participants was 20.96±1.8. The students wanted to have a baby at the age of 25 in average, 59.1% had knowledge about cryopreservation, 19.9% stated that they can use cryopreservation to postpone having children for their career and 57.6% agreed that women would be free to choose the motherhood timing thanks to cryopreservation. Students would think about it if they were going to have cancer treatment affecting the reproductive cells (63.7%), they underwent surgical intervention that would affect the ovaries (59.9%) and they were under the risk of going through early menopause (50.3%).
Conclusion: Although the attitudes of students about oocyte cryopreservation were positive, it was found that they could accept oocyte cryopreservation mostly in case of a medical necessity.
