Aim: In the study, it was aimed to determine the factors that may be associated with nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.
Material and Methods: The research was conducted between November 2020 - February 2021. The sample consisted of 434 pregnant women. Included were primiparous and multiparous pregnant women aged 18 and older, at 6-16 weeks of gestation, able to read, write and understand the Turkish language. "Personal Information Form" and "Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea - PUQE" were used as data collection tools. The data were collected by online questionnaire created in Google Forms. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using a statistical package program. A value of p <.005 was accepted as the level of significance.
Results: 75.6% of the pregnant women had nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The results of this study showed that pregnant women who were old age, unemployed, had nausea and vomiting in their previous pregnancies, did not use any vitamin supplements during their pregnancy, and whose fetüs was a girl were at high risk for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Conclusion: Although nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are a natural physiological process, the findings obtained from this study provide more information about the potential factors associated with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Understanding potential risk factors associated with pregnancy can provide better guidance of pregnant women about nausea and vomiting and treatment options by healthcare professionals. Further studies are needed to examine lifestyle changes and psychological conditions during pregnancy, which are factors that can cause and increase nausea and vomiting.
