ÖZET
Amaç: Araştırma, Dr. Sami Ulus Kadın Doğum, Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kadın Doğum Polikliniği’ne antenatal kontroller için başvuran adölesan gebelerde beden imajı algısının belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır.

Veri toplama aracı olarak; adölesan gebelerin sosyodemografik ve obstetrik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmış olan Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve adölesan gebelerde beden imajı algısını belirlemek için Vücut Algısı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler yüzdelik, ortalama ve standart sapma, Student’s t testi, Kruskal-Wallis, Oneway ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U ve Tukey test istatistiği kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Adölesan gebelerin %44.2’sinin 16-18 yaş grubunda olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan adölesan gebelerin %31.5’i I. trimesterde, %31.5’i II. trimesterdedir. Araştırma kapsamına alınan adölesan gebelerin Vücut Algısı Ölçeği puan ortalamasının 146.3±23.9 olduğu bulunmuştur.
Sonuçlar: Adölesan gebelerin sosyal güvence durumu, aylık geliri algılama durumu ve eşinin yaşının, vücut algısı puanlarını etkilediği bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Gebeliği planlı olan adölesan gebelerin vücut algısı, planlı olmayanlara göre daha olumlu bulunmuş ve aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05).
