EXAMINING PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF THE STUDENT MIDWIVES' ATTITUDES AND BELIEFS ABOUT SEXUALITY DURING PREGNANCY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF SEXUAL COUNSELING
Öz: Pregnant women and their partners are especially vulnerable to the long-term decrease in sexual activity due to pregnancy-related symptoms and/or negative beliefs and attitudes affecting sexuality. In this regard sexual consultation and attitudes of consultant about sexuality are an important point for especially midwives. This study aims to examine predictive factors of the student midwives' attitudes and beliefs about sexuality during pregnancy within the framework of sexual counseling role. The study was designed as a cross-sectional and descriptive web based survey. The study was conducted with 365 undergraduate midwifery students enrolled in a public university. Student midwives had medium-level negative attitudes and beliefs about sexuality during pregnancy. The presence of the attitudes and beliefs about sexuality during pregnancy was found to be associated with sexual counseling comfort (p<0.01). Regression models showed that having adequate knowledge about sexual counseling, experience of presenting this knowledge, cultural doctrines, sexual information topics and time of initiating counseling were effective predictors of the decrease in negative attitudes and beliefs in sexuality during pregnancy (R=0.196-0.361, p<0.01). Findings showed that individual attitudes and beliefs during pregnancy can affect counseling skills and content.
Anahtar Kelime: Öğrenci Ebelerin Gebelikte Cinsellik Konusundaki Tutum ve İnançlarını Yordayıcı Faktörlerin Cinsel Danışmanlık Çerçevesinde İncelenmesi
Öz: Gebe kadınlar ve eşleri, gebelikle ilgili semptomlar ve/veya cinselliği etkileyen olumsuz inanç ve tutumlar nedeniyle, özellikle cinsel aktivitede uzun vadeli azalmaya karşı savunmasızdırlar. Bu bakımdan cinsel danışmanlık ve danışmanın cinselikle ilgili tutumları özellikle ebeler için önemli bir noktadır. Bu araştırmada ebelerin gebelikte cinselliğe ilişkin tutum ve inançlarının yordayıcı faktörlerinin cinsel danışmanlık rolü çerçevesinde incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, Türkiye'de bir devlet üniversitesine kayıtlı 365 lisans ebelik öğrencisi ile yapılmıştır. Öğrenci ebeler, gebelikte cinsellikle ilgili orta düzeyde olumsuz tutum ve inançlara sahiptir. Gebelikte cinsellikle ilgili tutum ve inançların varlığı, cinsel danışmanlık konforu ile ilişkili bulunmuştur (p<0,01). Regresyon modelleri, cinsel danışmanlık hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmanın, bu bilgiyi sunma deneyiminin, kültürel doktrinlerin, cinsel danışmanlık konularının ve danışmanlığa başlama zamanının, gebelikte cinselliğe yönelik olumsuz tutum ve inançlardaki azalmanın etkili yordayıcıları olduğunu göstermiştir (R=0,196-0,361, p<0,01). Bulgular, bireysel cinsel tutum ve inançların danışmanlık becerilerini ve içeriğini etkileyebileceğini göstermiştir.
