Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada erkeklerin vazektomiye ilişkin bilgi ve görüşlerini belirlemek, erkeklerin vazektomiye ilişkin bilgi ve görüşlerini etkileyen faktörleri saptamak amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Analitik-kesitsel olarak yapılan bu araştırma bir üniversite hastanesinin üroloji polikliniğine başvuran 18 yaş ve üstü araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 422 erkekle yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında araştırmacılar tarafından literatürden yararlanılarak hazırlanmış olan bir soru formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi standart sapma, yüzdelik oranlar, aritmetik ortalama ve Ki-Kare önemlilik testi ile yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmadaki erkeklerin %87.2’si vazektomi yöntemini duymadığını ve %46.2’si yöntemi yaptırmayacağını belirtmiştir. Araştırmadaki erkeklerin %48.6’sı vazektominin cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklardan korumadığını, %52.1’i vazektominin geri dönüşü olmayan bir yöntem olduğunu, %69.4’ü kesinlikle bir daha çocuk sahibi olmak istemeyenler için uygun olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Çalışmadaki erkeklerin %4.3’ü vazektominin en iyi doğum kontrol yöntemlerinden biri olduğunu ve %60’ı vazektomi yaptırmanın dinimize göre günah olmadığını ifade etmiştir. Üniversite mezunu olan ve en uzun süre ilde yaşayan erkeklerin vazektomi yöntemini duyma durumunun daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür (p<0.05). Yaş grubu 29-39 olan erkeklerin vazektomi yaptırabilirim görüşünün daha fazla olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Erkeklerin çoğu yöntemi duymadıklarını ifade etmelerine rağmen, vazektomi ile ilgili bilgi sorularına çoğunlukla doğru cevap vermiştir. Araştırmadaki erkeklerin çoğunun vazektomi ile ilgili düşüncelerinin olumlu olduğu fakat vazektomi yaptırmak istemedikleri görülmüştür. Aile planlaması danışmanlık hizmeti veren sağlık personelinin yaygın kullanılmayan ve az bilinen yöntemlere ilişkin kapsamlı ve etkin danışmanlık hizmeti sunmaları önemlidir.

Abstract

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the knowledge and views of men regarding vasectomy and to determine the factors that affect the knowledge and views of men about vasectomy.
Methods: This analytical-cross-sectional study was conducted with 422 men aged 18 years and over who applied to the urology outpatient clinic of a university hospital. In the collection of the data, a questionnaire prepared by the researchers using the literature was used. The analysis of the data was done with standard deviation, percentage ratios, arithmetic mean and Chi-Square significance test.
Results: 87.2% of the men stated that they did not hear the vasectomy method and 46.2% stated that they would not do the method. 48.6% of the men in the study stated that vasectomy does not protect from sexually transmitted diseases, 52.1% of them stated that vasectomy is an irreversible method and 69.4% is definitely suitable for those who do not want to have children again. 44.3% of the men in the study stated that vasectomy is one of the best contraceptive methods and 60% of them stated that doing vasectomy is not a sin according to our religion. It has been observed that men who are university graduates and live in the province for the longest time have a higher rate of hearing vasectomy method (P <0.05). It was determined that men aged 29-39 can have a vasectomy (P <0.05).
Conclusion: Although most men stated that they did not hear the method, they mostly answered the questions about vasectomy correctly. Most of the men in the study were found to have positive thoughts about vasectomy, but they did not want to have vasectomy. It is important that the healthcare personnel who provide family planning counselling provide comprehensive and effective counselling services regarding uncommon and little-known methods.
