Çalışmanın amacı, primipar kadınların doğumsonu dönemde perineal travmaya ilişkin görüş ve uygulamalarını belirlemektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Nitel bir araştırmadır. Bir kamu hastanesinin kadın doğum polikliniğine doğum sonu dönemde başvuran15 kadın çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Veriler anket formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile elde edilip, içerik analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Doğum sonu dönemde kadınların perineal travmaya bağlı sıklıkla ağrı, akıntı, kızarıklık, ödem gibi bazı fiziksel sorunların yanısıra özbakımında eksiklik, cinsel sorunlar ve sorumluluklarını yerine getirememe kaygısı yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Perineal şikayetlerin çözümüne yönelik kadınların “povidon iyod, antibakteriyel pomad, parasetamol, sıcak uygulama, soğuk uygulama, kolonya, zeytinyağı” gibi ürünleri kullandıkları ancak “cinsel ve psikososyal sorunlara” ilişkin herhangi bir girişimde bulunmadıkları belirlenmiştir.Sonuç: Kadınların perineal travmaya ilişkin uygulamalarının yetersiz ve bazılarının yanlış olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sağlık personeli tarafından doğum sonu dönemde perineal bakıma ilişkin eğitimlerin taburculuk öncesinde verilmesi ve sürecin izlenmesi önerilmektedir.
