    Bu çalışma gebelikte beslenmeyi değerlendirmek amacıyla kesitsel olarak planlanmıştır. Bu çalışmaya 15-49 yaş grubunda Malatya il merkezinde yaşayan 202 gebe kadın alınmıştır. Veriler Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 10.0 programında yüzdelik, ortalama, student t test ve tek yönlü varyans analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada beden kitle indeksinin sonuçlarına göre, gebelerin yüzde 17.3'ü hafif şışman, yüzde 9.9'u şışman ve yüzde 4.5'i zayıf bulunmuştur. Gebelerin gebelik ve doğum sayısı ile beden kitle indeksi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Çalışmada gebelerin yüzde 81.2'sinin gebelikte beslenme sorunu yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca gebelerin yüzde 53.5'i vitamin ve mineral almamaktadır. Ek olarak, gebelerin yüzde 14.9'u kil, toprak ya da sıva alçı yeme eğilimleri olduğunu belirtmişlerdir.

    (WILEY, 2008) Ege, Emel; Timur, Sermin; Zincir, Handan; Geckil, Emine; Sunar-Reeder, Bulbin
    Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between symptoms of postpartum depression and social support in new mothers in a semi-rural province (Malatya) of Eastern Turkey. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The study was conducted with a 12-item Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) questionnaire, a 10-item Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire, and a 16-item demographic/obstetric questionnaire designed by the authors. 364 women who were between 6 to 48 weeks postpartum were included in the study. Results: Symptoms of postpartum depression were negatively correlated with social support (-0.39, P = 0.000). The frequency of the prevalence of symptoms of postpartum depression was 33.2%. The study showed that EPDS mean score was related to several factors, including age, woman's education, woman's occupation, socioeconomic status of family, spouse's education, number of years married, parity, planned pregnancy, method of delivery, knowledge of infant care, sharing of problems with a close person, past psychiatric history and family support during the postnatal period in an Eastern province of Turkey. Conclusion: Symptoms of postpartum depression were negatively correlated among Turkish women living in the Malatya province of Eastern Turkey and were associated with the level of social support. The prevalence of postpartum depression was higher than in the published reports regarding most regions of Turkey, with the exception of Northeastern Turkey.

    (BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2007) Ege, Emel; Timur, Sermin; Zincir, Handan; Egri, Mucahit; Reeder, Bulbin Sunar
    Aim: Vaginal douching is a common hygiene practice for many women all over the world, but it is associated with several health risks. Little is known about the beliefs and attitudes that promote and maintain douching practices. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the status of vaginal douching practices of women in the Malatya province of eastern Turkey. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A sample of 465 Muslim women was interviewed to ascertain the status of vaginal douching practices. All participants were between 15 and 49 years of age and all were married. Data were collected by using a questionnaire in the process of conducting face-to-face interviews in June 2004. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and logistic regression modeling. Results: The present study revealed that the frequency of douching was 61.5% among women. The participants were frequently douching for feminine hygiene (47.6%). Vaginal douching practices were associated with several factors including education level (odds ratio [OR] = 1.991, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.154-3.434), family income (OR = 0.996, 95% CI = 0.994-0.998), marital age (OR = 0.402, 95% CI = 0.223-0.715), frequency of sexual intercourse (OR = 2.335, 95% CI = 1.532-3.554), and presence of genital syndromes/infections (OR = 1.813, 95% CI = 1.215-2.739). Conclusion: This study provides preliminary information about women's douching practices and attitudes in the Malatya region of Turkey. It may also provide information to health-care practitioners in their efforts to educate women on the adverse effects of vaginal douching.
