VIEWS OF TURKISH AND SYRIAN REFUGEE WOMEN WHO ARE FROM TWO DIFFERENT CULTURES ON TUBAL LIGATION

Öz:

Objectives: Although tubal ligation (TL) is a safe and effective method of permanent contraception, womenmay reject it for medical, social, economic, cultural reasons. The study was conducted to determine knowledgeabout and attitudes toward TL among Turkish and Syrian women.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 420 women in the women'shealth unit of hospital affiliated with the Ministry of Health in southeastern Turkey. In the research, "DiagnosticForm" was used as the data collection tool.Results: The investigation of the women's perspectives of TL demonstrated that 32.10% of the Turkish womenand 46.80% of the Syrian women considered it as a sin, 22.80% of the Turkish women and 37.60% of the Syrianwomen thought they might lose their authority in the family life, 22.80% of the Turkish women and 43.90% ofthe Syrian women thought that the intervention might have a negative impact on their sexual life, 20.90% ofthe Turkish women and 36.10% of the Syrian women thought that TL should be banned, 60.40% of the Turkishwomen, 45.90% of the Syrian women believed that TL was a reliable method and 34.40% of the Turkish womenand 48.30% of the Syrian women thought that having a lot of children gained them strength and status in thesociety (p<0.05).Conclusion: Overall knowledge of women about TL was insufficient, and Syrian participants displayed morenegative attitudes towards TL than Turkish participants. Our findings underscore the fact that culturaldifferences may have important effects on attitudes toward and acceptance of TL.

İKİ FARKLI KÜLTÜRE SAHİP OLAN TÜRK VE SURİYELİ KADINLARIN TUBAL LİGASYON HAKKINDA GÖRÜŞLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Öz:

Amaç: Tubal ligasyon, çiftler için en etkili ve en güvenilir aile planlaması yöntemlerinden biri olmasına rağmen, bu yöntemin kabulü toplumdan topluma değişiklik göstermekte ve bazı medikal, sosyo-ekonomik, dini ve kültürel nedenlerden dolayı kullanımı reddedilebilmektedir. Araştırma, Türk ve Suriyeli kadınların tubal ligasyon hakkında bilgi ve tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Araştırma, Türkiye'nin güneydoğusunda bir devlet hastanesinde postpartum servisi'nde doğum yapan 420 Türk ve Suriyeli kadın ile tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak “Tanılama Formu” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Türk kadınların %32.10'u, Suriyeli kadınların %46.80'ni tüplerin bağlatılmasının günah olduğunu; Türk kadınların %22.80'ni, Suriyeli kadınların %37.60'ı, tüplerin bağlatılmasının kadına aile hayatında otorite kaybettireceğini; Türk kadınların %22.80'ni, Suriyeli kadınların %43.90'nı tüplerin bağlatılmasının cinsel hayatı olumsuz etkileyeceğini; Türk kadınların %20.90'nı, Suriyeli kadınların %36.10'u tüplerin bağlatılmasının yasaklanması gerektiğini; Türk kadınların %60.40'ı, Suriyeli kadınların %45.90'nı tüplerin bağlatılmasının güvenilir bir yöntem olduğunu ve Türk kadınların %34.40'ı, Suriyeli kadınların %48.30'u bir kadının çok çocuğunun olmasının kadına toplumda güç ve statü kazandırdığını düşündükleri saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda kadınların tubal ligasyon hakkında yetersiz bilgiye sahip olduğu, Suriyeli kadınların Türk kadınlarından tubal ligasyon hakkında daha fazla olumsuz tutuma sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bulgularımız kültürel farklılıkların tubal ligasyona yönelik tutumları ve kabulleri üzerinde önemli etkileri olabileceğini vurgulamaktadır.
