Abstract:

 This study was conducted to determine the perceived spousal support of pregnant women and the effect of this support on pregnancy symptoms. The population of the descriptive and relational study consisted of pregnant women who came to the obstetrics clinics of a university hospital in Central Anatolia between 1 July and 31 December 2021. The study was completed with 156 pregnant women. The data of the study were obtained by using the Personal Information Form, the Perception of Spousal Support in Pregnancy Scale PSSPA, and the Pregnancy Symptom Inventory PSI. It was determined that the mean age of the pregnant women was 26.95.2 and 63.5 were between the ages of 21-30. It was determined that the total mean score of the perception of spousal support of pregnant women was 61.514.9 and the mean score of the pregnancy symptom scale was 45.0417.6. It was found that the relationship between the perceived spousal support sub-dimension and total score averages of the pregnants and the mean pregnancy symptoms score was not statistically significant p0.05. There is no relationship between perceived spousal support and pregnancy symptoms experienced by pregnant women. Age, education level of the pregnant woman and spouse, marriage type and duration and number of pregnancies affect the perceived spousal support of pregnant women. It can be suggested that the importance of social support, especially spousal support should be included in childbirth preparation trainings.

 Bu çalışma gebelerin algıladığı eş desteğini ve bu desteğin gebelik semptomlarına olan etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel tipteki çalışmanın evrenini 1 Temmuz- 31 Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında İç Anadoluda bir üniversite hastanesinin kadın doğum polikliniklerine gelen gebeler oluşturmuştur. Çalışma 156 gebe ile tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Gebelikte Eş Desteği Algısı Ölçeği GEDAÖ ve Gebelik Semptom Envanteri GSE kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Gebelerin yaş ortalamasının 26.95,2 ve 63.5inin 21-30 yaş aralığında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Gebelerin eş desteği algısı ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 61.514.9 ve gebelik semptom ölçeği puan ortalamasının 45.0417.6 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gebelerin algılanan eş desteği alt boyut ve toplam puan ortalamaları ile gebelik semptomları puan ortalamaları arasındaki ilişkinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı saptanmıştır p0.05. Gebelerin algıladığı eş desteği ile deneyimledikleri gebelik semptomları arasında ilişki yoktur. Yaş, gebenin ve eşin öğrenim düzeyi, evlenme şekli, süresi ve gebelik sayısı gebelerin algıladığı eş desteğini etkilemektedir. Doğuma hazırlık eğitimlerinde özellikle eş desteği olmak üzere sosyal desteğin önemi konusuna yer verilmesi önerilebilir.
