Year 2024, Volume: 77 Issue: 1, 107 - 112, 28.03.2024

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, gebelere verilen cinsel eğitimin gebelikte cinselliğe yönelik tutuma ve gebelikte cinsel yanıta etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu randomize kontrollü bir müdahale çalışması, 73 gebe ile (eğitim grubu =36, kontrol grubu =37) tamamlanmıştır. Veriler Gebelikte Cinsel Yanıt Envanteri (GCYE), Gebelikte Cinselliğe Karşı Tutum Ölçeği (GCKTÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Eğitim grubundaki katılımcılara, gebeliğin 14-22. haftaları arasında iki saat süren gebelikte cinsel yaşam hakkında bireysel eğitim verilmiştir.

Bulgular: Araştırmanın başlangıcında eğitim ve kontrol gruplarının GCYE ve GCKTÖ puanları benzerdi (p>0,05). Dört hafta sonra yapılan değerlendirmede eğitim grubunun GCYE, GCKTÖ, gebelikte cinsel birleşmeye yönelik kaygı, gebelikte cinselliği onaylama puan ortalamalarının kontrol grubundan daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05).

Sonuç: Gebelikte verilen cinsel eğitim, gebelikte cinselliğe yönelik tutumları ve cinsel yanıtı olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Hemşire ve ebelerin doğum öncesi dönemde tüm gebelere cinsellik konusunda eğitim vermesi önerilmektedir.

Determination of the Effect of Sexual Training for Pregnant Women on the Attitude Toward Sexuality and Sexual Response During Pregnancy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Year 2024, Volume: 77 Issue: 1, 107 - 112, 28.03.2024

Abstract

Objectives: This study was carried out to establish the effect of sexual training for pregnant women on the attitude toward sexuality during pregnancy and pregnancy sexual response.

Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled study was completed with 73 pregnant women (intervention group =36, control group =37). The data were collected using the Pregnancy Sexual Response Inventory (PSRI) and the Attitude Scale toward Sexuality during Pregnancy (AStSdP) Participants between the 14th and 22nd weeks of their pregnancy in the intervention group were provided with individual education which lasted two hours, on sexuality during pregnancy.

Results: PSRI and AStSdP scores of both intervention and control groups resembled each other at the beginning of the study (p>0.05). The evaluation carried out four weeks later demonstrated that score averages for PSRI, AStSdP, anxiety about sexual intercourse during pregnancy, and approving sexuality during pregnancy of the intervention group were higher than the same scores for the control group (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Sexual training during pregnancy positively affects attitudes toward sexuality and sexual response during pregnancy. Education of all pregnant women in the prenatal period about sexuality provided by nurses and midwives is recommended.

Key Words: Pregnancy, sexuality, education, nurses
