Results: It was determined that pregnant women started with their pregnancy 45.9% normal and 35.9% overweight and obese Body Mass Indeks (BMI), gained average of 12.5 kg weight during their pregnancy. High level of anxiety in more than half (50.8%) and need for professional assistance in 5.6%; 69.4% of them had depression.

Miadındaki Gebelerde Kaygı ve Depresyonun Kilo Alımı İle İlişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, miadındaki gebelerde kaygı ve depresyonun kilo alımı ile ilişkisini incelemektir.
Yöntem: Araştırma, Mayıs – Ekim 2016 tarihleri arasında Batman Kadın Doğum ve Çocuk Hastalıkları Hastanesi’nde analitik-kesitsel olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya gebeliğinin 37-42. haftaları arasında olan, en az ilkokul mezunu, tek fetüse sahip, Türkçe konuşup ve anlayabilen, gelişigüzel örnekleme yöntemi ile 360 gebe alınmıştır. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Soru formu”, “Spielberger Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri” ve “Epidemiyolojik Araştırma Merkezi Depresyon Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Görüşmeler sırasında boy ve kilo ölçümü yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Gebelerin %45.8’inin normal, %35.9’unun kilolu ve obez Vücut Kitle İndeksi (VKİ) ile gebeliklerine başladıkları, gebelikleri süresince ortalama 12.5 kg kilo aldıkları belirlendi. Yarısından fazlasında (%50.8) yüksek düzeyde ve %5.6’sında profesyonel yardıma ihtiyaç düzeyinde kaygı; %69.4’ünde depresyon mevcuttu. Gebelerin kaygı ve depresyon durumlarının kilo alımı üzerinde etkili olmadığı saptandı.
Sonuç: Araştırmaya katılan gebelerin yaklaşık yarısının gebelik öncesi normal VKİ’ne sahip olduğu, çoğunun isteyerek gebeliğe başlamış olmasına karşın gebelikte kilo alımına yönelik eğitim alma ve planlama yapma oranlarının oldukça düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Gebelerde kaygı ve depresyon görülme sıklığının oldukça yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Kaygı ve depresyonun kilo alımı ile ilişkili olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
