Abstract

Purpose: It is thought that there is a relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and depression in preeclampsia, which is frequently encountered during pregnancy.
Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive design study. The sample comprised 168 pregnant women, including pregnant women with preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women. The data were collected with the Descriptive Information Form, the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale-II, and the Beck Depression Scale. Appropriate statistical methods were utilized in the evaluation of the study.
Results: According to the results, the healthy lifestyle behaviors scale mean scores of pregnant women with preeclampsia were higher than those of healthy pregnant women. No statistically significant difference was seen between preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women in terms of the mean Beck depression scores. A negative, weak, linear relationship was found between Beck scores and healthy lifestyle behaviors scale total scores in pregnant women with. As Beck scale scores increased, healthy lifestyle behaviors scale total scores decreased.
Conclusion: The mean scores of health responsibility, spiritual development, and stress management sub-scales of healthy lifestyle behaviors were higher in preeclamptic pregnant women than healthy pregnant women. It is recommended to determine women's pre-pregnancy health behaviors and explore their negative behaviors for maternal and infant health.

Preeklampsi Gebelerde Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları ve Depresyonun Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı preeklampsi gebelerde sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ve depresyon bulgularının değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı niteliktedir. Araştırma örneklemini preeklampsi tanısını alan gebeler ile sağlıklı gebeler olmak üzere toplam 168 gebe oluşturmaktadır. Veriler; Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği II ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ile toplandı. Çalışmanın değerlendirilmesinde uygun istatistiki yöntemler yapıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmada preeklampsi gebelerin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ölçek puan ortalamalarının sağlıklı gebelere oranla daha yüksek olduğu tespit edildi (p = .03). Preeklampsi ve sağlıklı gebeler arasında BECK depresyon puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi (p = .278). Preeklampsi gebelerde BECK puanlarıyla sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ölçek toplam puanları arasında; negatif yönlü, zayıf derecede, doğrusal bir ilişki saptandı (r = .243; p = .026). BECK puanları arttıkça sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ölçek toplam puanları azalmaktadır.
Sonuç: Preeklampsi gebelerde sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının alt boyutlarından sağlık sorumluluğu, manevi gelişim, stres yönetimi puan ortalamaları sağlıklı gebelere göre daha yüksektir. Kadınların gebelik öncesi sağlık davranışlarının belirlenmesinin, olumsuz davranışlarının sorgulanmasının, anne ve bebek sağlığı için önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
