Publication: Gebelikte Yaşanan Anksiyete Düzeyinin Fetal Sağlık Anksiyetesine Etkisi
Abstract
Amaç: Bu araştırma, gebelik ile ilişkili anksiyetenin fetal sağlık kaygısına etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Materyal ve Metod: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte yapılan çalışma, 20 Ağustos 2024-20 Nisan 2025 tarihleri arasında Samsun Bafra Devlet Hastanesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum polikliniği ve NST (Non Stress Test) polikliniğine başvuran 400 gebe ile yapılmıştır. Veriler, Gebe Bilgi Formu, Gebelikle ile İlişki Anksiyete Ölçeği (GİAÖ) ve Fetal Sağlık Kaygı Envanteri (FSKE) aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde normallik dağılımına ve gruplarının özelliğine göre t testi, Varyans analizi, Mann Whitney U testi, Kruskall Wallis testi, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve Spearman Korelasyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Gebelerin demografik özellikleri incelendiğinde gebelerin doğum tercihi, gebelikte korku duyma durumu, gebelik korkusu faktörleri ile GİAÖ arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Gebeler FSKE toplamından 12.30±6.27 puan almışlardır. Gebelerin GİAÖ ve FSKE arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde doğum kaygıları, beden imajı kaygıları, doğuma yönelik tutumlar, annelik ile ilgili endişeler, anksiyete göstergeleri, bebek ile ilgili endişeler alt boyutlarının puanları arttıkça FSKE puanı da artmaktadır. GİAÖ toplam puanı ile FSKE toplam puanı arasında anlamlı pozitif yönlü ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0.05),( R=0.325). Araştırmada GİAÖ VE FSKE ölçekleri arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Araştırmada GİAÖ puanı arttıkça FSKE puanının da arttığı görülmüştür. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda gebelerin birçok kaygı türünden etkilendiği, en yüksek gebelik kaygısının, doğum kaygısı olarak bulunduğu ve bu kaygının fetal sağlık kaygısından etkilendiği görülmektedir. Bu nedenle ebelerin gebelere vereceği doğum kaygısına yönelik destek oldukça önemlidir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Gebe, anksiyete, kaygı, endişe, fetal sağlık anksiyetesi
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of pregnancy-related anxiety on fetal health anxiety. Material and Method: The descriptive and correlational study was conducted between August 20, 2024, and April 20, 2025, with 400 pregnant women who applied to the Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic and the Non-Stress Test (NST) clinic of Samsun Bafra State Hospital. Data were collected using the Pregnant Information Form, the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ), and the Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory (FHAI). In the evaluation of the data, depending on the normality distribution and the characteristics of the groups, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation analysis, and Spearman correlation analysis were used. Findings: When the demographic characteristics of the pregnant women were examined, a significant relationship was found between their birth preferences, the presence of fear during pregnancy, the factors causing fear, and the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ) scores (p<0.05). The participants scored an average of 12.30±6.27 on the Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory (FHAI). When the relationship between the PRAQ and FHAI was analyzed, it was observed that as the scores of the sub-dimensions such as childbirth anxiety, body image concerns, attitudes toward childbirth, worries about motherhood, anxiety indicators, and concerns about the baby increased, the FHAI score also increased. A significant positive correlation was found between the total PRAQ score and the total FHAI score (p<0.05, R=0.325). The study revealed a statistically significant relationship between the PRAQ and FHAI scales. It was observed that as the PRAQ score increased, the FHAI score also increased.. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was found that pregnant women are affected by various types of anxiety, with the highest level of pregnancy-related anxiety being childbirth anxiety, which is influenced by fetal health anxiety. Therefore, the support that midwives provide to pregnant women regarding childbirth anxiety is of great importance. Keywords: Pregnant, anxiety, concern, worry, fetal health anxıety
