Abstract:

 Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge level of the parents of children to be circumcised about circumcision and to determine the relationship between the results and socio-demographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: This is an analytical survey study with a control group. A questionnaire was applied to the parents of children who applied to the pediatric surgery outpatient clinic and pediatric surgery outpatient clinic in a hospital and were hospitalized in the pediatric surgery service due to circumcision. Data were obtained using a data collection form with 29 questions. For statistical significance, cases where the p value was 0.05 were considered. Results: A total of 685 people, including 481 women 75.7 and 154 men 24.3, participated in this study. 44.1 n280 of the participants were housewives, 97.5 were married n619, 39.8 n253 were associate degree or higher graduates, 57.6 were n366 earns between minimum wage and poverty line. The study group gave more correct answers to the control group p0.020 to the question Is it necessary to tell the child what will happen on the day of circumcision and after the circumcision procedure?. The rate of knowing the most appropriate age range for circumcision for fathers and those with more than 1 boy was higher than the other groups p0.004 , p0.031, respectively. Those who answered yes to the question Do you think circumcision is necessary? were found to be more likely to have their children circumcised before the age of 3 than those who said no p0.006. It was determined that the probability of having their children circumcised before the age of 3 was higher in those who answered the question If circumcision is necessary, what is the reason? p0.001. The probability of circumcision increases between the ages of 3 and 6 for those whose reason is religious obligation or environmental influence p0.004 , p0.001, respectively. Conclusions: The knowledge level of the parents participating in our study about circumcision was low. It has been observed that a substantial portion of them had their children circumcised in the not recommended age range.

 Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı sünnet olacak çocukların ebeveynlerinin sünnet hakkındaki bilgi düzeyini değerlendirmek ve çıkan sonuçların sosyo-demografik özellikler ile ilişkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu, kontrol gruplu analitik bir anket çalışmasıdır. Bir hastanede çocuk hastalıkları polikliniği ile çocuk cerrahisi polikliniğine başvuran ve çocuk cerrahisi servisinde sünnet nedeniyle yatışı olan çocukların ebeveynlerine anket uygulanmıştır. Verilere 29 soruluk bir veri toplama formu kullanılarak edinilmiştir. istatistiksel anlamlılık için p değerinin 0,05 olduğu durumlar dikkate alınmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya 481i kadın 75,7, 154ü erkek 24,3 olmak üzere toplam 685 kişi katılmıştır. Katılımcıların 44,1i n280 ev hanımı, 97,5i evli n619, 39,8i n253 ön lisans ve üzeri mezunu, 57,6sı n366 asgari ücret ve yoksulluk sınırı arasında kazanmaktadır. Sünnet işlemi öncesi çocuğa sünnet günü ve sonrası neler yaşayacağının anlatılmasına gerek var mı sorusuna çalışma grubu kontrol grubuna daha yüksek oranda doğru yanıt vermiştir p0,020. Babaların ve 1den fazla erkek çocuğu olanların sünnet için en uygun yaş aralığını bilme oranı diğer gruplara kıyasla daha yüksektir sırasıyla p0,004 , p0,031. Sizce sünnet gerekli mi sorusuna evet diyenlerin çocuklarını 3 yaşından önce sünnet ettirme olasılıkları hayır diyenlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur p0,006. Sünnet gerekli ise sebebi nedir sorusuna tıbbi fayda cevabını verenlerin çocuklarını 3 yaşından önce sünnet ettirme olasılığının hayır diyenlere göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır p0,001. Sebebi dini zorunluluk veya çevre etkisi olanların ise 3-6 yaş arasında sünnet ettirme ihtimali artmaktadır sırasıyla p0,004 , p0,001. Sonuç: Çalışmamıza katılan ebeveynlerin sünnet hakkındaki bilgi seviyesi düşük çıkmıştır. Azımsanmayacak bir kısmının önerilmeyen yaş aralığında çocuklarını sünnet ettirdiği görülmüştür.
