The Relationship between The Life Quality Based on Pregnancy Complaints and Maternity Role and Acceptance of Pregnancy

Abstract

Introduction: This research was conducted for the purpose of establishing the relationship between the life quality based on the pregnancy complaints and the maternity role and acceptance of the pregnancy. Methods: The sampling of the research featuring cross-sectional type was consisted of 284 pregnant women who applied to the pregnant training class of a state hospital between November 2017 and February 2018. Data were collected by “Personal Information Form”, “Acceptance of Maternity Role” and “Acceptance of Pregnancy” sub-dimensions of the Prenatal Self-evaluation Scale and “Scale for Pregnancy Complaints and Their Impact on the Life Quality (SPCILQ)”. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Relationship Analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: The age average of pregnant women is 28.27±5.14, it was found that 33.8% of the pregnant women are high-school graduates, 79.8% are housewife, 86.6% have a moderate economic status, 84.2% have elementary family. The average pregnancy week of the pregnant is 31.98±8.16, the average pregnancy number is 1.60±0.48. It was determined that 78.2% of the pregnant women have a desired/planned pregnancy, 45.4% get information from physician, 41.5% get information from midwife in the prenatal controls in regard to the complaints experienced in the pregnancy. The point average which the pregnant women took from the sub-dimension of the Acceptance of Maternity Role is 37.72±4.07; the point average they took from the sub-dimension of the Acceptance of Pregnancy is 40.14±4.34; the point average they took from Scale on Complaints in Pregnancy and Its Impact on the Life Quality is 72.29±28.10. A statistically positive-way weak relationship was detected between the point average of Scale for Pregnancy Complaints and Their Impact on the Life Quality (SPCILQ) and point averages of maternity role (r=0.209, p=0.000). No statistical significance was detected between point average of SPCILQ and point averages of the acceptance of the pregnancy (p>0.05). Conclusions: As the impact of the pregnancy-based complaints on the life quality increases, a decrease is seen in the adaptation to the maternity role.
