Asrın Felaketinde Gebe Olmak: Deprem Sonrası Travma Düzeyinin Gebelik Yakınmaları ve Yaşam Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Araştırma, deprem sonrası travma düzeyinin gebelik yakınmaları ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma, Haziran 2023–Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında tanımlayıcı türde yapıldı. Araştırma, Malatya ilinde bulunan Malatya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinin kadın hastalıkları ve doğum polikliniklerine başvuran 260 gebe kadın ile yürütüldü. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Deprem Sonrası Travma Düzeyini Belirleme Ölçeği ve Gebelikteki Yakınmalar ve Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edildi. Bulgular: Araştırmada Gebelikteki Yakınmalar ve Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi Ölçeği puan ortalaması 112,11±29,23 ve Deprem Sonrası Travma Düzeyini Belirleme Ölçeği puan ortalaması 66,74±13,65 olarak belirlendi. Araştırmada deprem sırasında herhangi bir arkadaş /komşu kaybeden (β-katsayısı=-0,141; p=0,021), deprem sonrası düzenli olarak sağlık kontrollerine gitmeyen (β-katsayısı =0,144; p=0,021) ve deprem sonrası travma düzeyi yüksek olan (β-sayısı=0,128; p=0,038) gebelerin yakınmalarının daha fazla olduğu ve buna bağlı olarak yaşam kalitesinin daha düşük olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Araştırmada deprem sonrası travma düzeyinin gebelikteki yakınmaları etkilediği dolayısıyla yaşam kalitesinin de etkilendiği belirlendi. Sağlık profesyonellerinin deprem gibi felaketler sonrası gebelerde yaşanan deprem travma düzeyini ve bu travmanın gebelik yakınmalarına ve yaşam kalitesine etkisini göz ardı etmemesi önerilmektedir.

Being Pregnant during the Disaster of the Century: The Effect of the Level of Trauma after the Earthquake on Pregnancy Complaints and Quality of Life

Abstract

Aim: The research was conducted to examine the effect of the level of trauma after the earthquake on pregnancy complaints and quality of life. Material and Methods: The research was conducted in a descriptive manner between June 2023 and August 2023. The research was conducted with 260 pregnant women who applied to the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinics of Malatya Training and Research Hospital in Malatya province. Data were obtained using the Personal Information Form, Scale that determines the level of the trauma after the earthquake and the Complaints During Pregnancy and their Effect on Quality of Life Scale. Results: In the study, the average score of the Complaints During Pregnancy and their Effect on Quality of Life Scale was determined as 112.11±29.23, and the average score of Scale that determines the level of the trauma after the earthquake was determined as 66.74±13.65. In the study, those who lost any friends/neighbours during the earthquake (β-coefficient=-0.141; p=0.021), those who did not go for regular health checks after the earthquake (β-coefficient=0.144; p=0.021) and those who had a high after the earthquake trauma level (β- coefficient=0.128; p=0.038) it was determined that pregnant women had more complaints and, accordingly, their quality of life was lower. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that the level of trauma after the earthquake affected the complaints during pregnancy, thus affecting the quality of life. It is recommended that health professionals should not ignore the level of earthquake trauma experienced by pregnant women after disasters such as earthquakes and the impact of this trauma on pregnancy complaints and quality of life.
