EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POSITIVE HEALTH BEHAVIORS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between positive health behaviors and quality of life in pregnant women. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 148 pregnant women who came to the maternity outpatient clinic of Harakani State Hospital in Kars City for the control and met the inclusion criteria. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Health Practices in Pregnancy Questionnaire (HPQ-II) and the WHOQOL-BREF (TR) Quality of Life Questionnaire. HPQ-II median score was 118(69-133). Among domains of the WHOQOL-BREF (TR) scale, median scores of the participants were 68.75 (25-100) in the General Health domain, 53.57 (25-92.86) in the Physical Health domain, 62.50 (33.3-87.5) in the Psychological Health domain, 75.0 (41.67-100) in the Social Relations domain, and 58.33 (33.33-77.78) in the Environmental domain. It was determined that as the HPQ-II total score increased, the General Health, Psychological Health, Social Relations and Environment scores also increased. While education and income level affected the quality of life and HPQ-II total score, planned pregnancy affected the quality of life.
