Abstract

Aim:
This research aims to determine the influence of sexual knowledge and beliefs
of engaged couples on their marriage beliefs and attitudes. Methods:
This descriptive study was conducted between October 2018 and December 2018 in
Family Health Centers (FHCs) located in Konya city centre. The sample of the
study is composed of 402 couples who have agreed to participate in the
research. The data have been collected through the Data Collection Form (DCF),
the Form of Beliefs Related to Sexual Information (FBRSI) and the Scale of
Beliefs and Attitudes Towards Marriage - Health Belief Model (SBATM-HBM). The
questionnaires have been individually applied to the couples in separate rooms.
Results: The mean scores of the engaged couples on the FBRSI and
SBATM-HBM are 24 ± 5.1 and 73.7 ± 10.7, respectively. When the factors
affecting the sexual knowledge levels of engaged couples are examined, it is
noticed that the mean scores of FBRSI and SBATM-HBM for those who are over 26
years old, have high school degree or above, work in an income-generating
business, decide to get married with a mutual consent, have a mother with a
high school degree or above, and have knowledge of sexual and reproductive
health are higher (p <0.05). Besides, it has been found that one-third of
the couples have knowledge related to sexuality and reproductive health;
however, they have received extremely little information from the healthcare
workers. Furthermore, it has been determined that as the mean scores of FBRSI
increase, the mean scores of SBATM-HBM increase, as well, and there is a
positive relationship between them. According to the results of Stepwise
Multiple Regression Analysis, it has been discovered that those who are 25
years old or below, have no knowledge about sexual and reproductive health,
have mothers with primary school degree or below, and have low FBRSI mean
scores have a negative effect on their beliefs and attitudes towards marriage
(p <0.05). Conclusion: Factors such as age, educational background,
gaining sexual knowledge, mother’s educational background, and knowledge and
beliefs related to sexuality have a considerable effect on the beliefs and
attitudes of the engaged couples towards marriage.


Amaç: Nişanlı çiftlerin cinsellikle
ilgili sahip oldukları bilgi ve inanışlarının
evliliğe yönelik inanç ve tutumlarına etkisini belirlemek.Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı
tiptedir. Araştırma Konya il merkezinde bulunan Aile Sağlığı Merkez’lerinde
Ekim 2018- Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın
örneğini araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 402 çift oluşturmaktadır. Veriler soru
formu ve Cinsellikle İlgili Bilgi ve İnanışlar Formu (CİBİF) ve Evliliğe Yönelik İnanç ve Tutumlar Ölçeği- Sağlık
İnanç Modeli (EYİTÖ-SİM) kullanılarak
toplanmıştır. Soru formları çiftlere ayrı mekânlarda bireysel olarak uygulandı.Bulgular: Nişanlı çiftlerin CİBİF ve
EYİTÖ-SİM Ölçeği puan
ortalamaları sırasıyla 24 ± 5.1 ve 73.7 ± 10.7’dir. Evlilik hazırlığı yapan çiftlerin cinsel bilgi
düzeylerini etkileyen faktörler incelendiğinde, 26 yaşından büyük olanların,
lise ve üzerinde öğrenime sahip olanların, gelir getiren bir işte çalışanların,
tanışıp anlaşarak evlenmeye karar verenlerin, annesinin eğitim durumunun lise
ve üzerinde olanların, cinsel ve üreme sağlığı konusunda bilgi alan nişanlı
çiftlerin EYİTÖ-SİM puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi
(p<0.05). Araştırmada çiftlerin üçte birisinin cinsellik ve üreme sağlığı
konusunda bilgi aldıkları, ancak bu bilgiyi çok düşük oranda sağlık
personelinden aldıkları belirlendi. CİBİF puan ortalamaları arttıkça, EYİTÖ-SİM
puan ortalamalarının arttığı ve aralarında pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu
belirlendi. Stepwise Çoklu Regresyon Analizi sonucuna göre, çiftlerin 25 yaş ve
altında olanların, cinsel ve üreme sağlığı konusunda bilgi almamış olanların,
anne öğrenim durumunun ilköğretim ve altında olanların ve CİBİF puan ortalaması
düşük olanların evliliğe yönelik inanç ve tutumlarını negatif yönde etkilediği
bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç:
Evlilik hazırlığı yapan çiftlerin, evliliğe yönelik inanç ve tutumlarını; yaş, öğrenim durumu, cinsellikle ilgili
bilgi alma durumu, anne öğrenim durumu, cinsellikle ilgili bilgi ve inanışlar
gibi faktörler etkilemektedir.
