Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the social support status and the influencing factors in pregnancies. A total of 350 pregnant women who attended the nonstress test polyclinic of a state university participated in the descriptive study. The data collection tools of the study are the personal questionnaire and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale. Data analysis was done by percentage ratios, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Kruskal Wallis Variance analysis and Mann Whitney U tests. 38.3% of the pregnants are in the 20-24 age group and the gestational week is 35.4 ± 2.7 (min-max = 29-40). Most pregnant women want to share their pregnancy first with their wives, that their spouses provide the most support during pregnancy, and that they should be with their partner during birth. The average multi-dimensional perceived social support score of pregnants is 59.60 ± 15.9. The mean scores of the family subscale of the multidimensional perceived social support scale of the pregnants were higher than the average of the total scores of the friends and the special human sub-dimensions. There was no relationship between age of pregnancies and social support scale sub-dimensions (p> 0.05). A relationship was found between the educational status of the pregnant women and the social support scale sub-dimensions (p <0,05). There was a relationship between the education level of the spouse education and the social support points perceived from friends and private people (p <0,05). There was a relationship between the incomes of pregnant women and social support points perceived by family and friends (p <0,05). It has been seen that the level of social support of pregnant women is above the middle level and the most social support provided by their families. The level of receiving social support for pregnant women is positively affected by the education and working conditions of pregnant women and their spouses.

Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan çalışmaya bir Devlet Üniversitesi’nin Non Stres Test polikliniğine gelen toplam 350 gebe katılmıştır. Kişisel soru formu ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği ile veriler toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi standart sapma, yüzdelik oranlar, aritmetik ortalama, Kruskal[sa2] Wallis Varyans analizi ve Mann Whitney U testleri ile yapılmıştır. Gebelerin %38,3’ü 20-24 yaş grubundadır ve gebelik haftası 35,4 ±2,7 (min-max=29-40)’dır. Gebelerin çoğu en fazla desteği eşlerinden aldıklarını ve doğum sırasında eşinin yanında olmasını istemiştir. Gebelerin algılanan sosyal destek puan ortalaması 59,60±15,9’dır. Gebelerin sosyal destek ölçeğinin alt boyut ortalamalarından aile puan ortalaması, arkadaş ve özel insan puan ortalamasından yüksek bulunmuştur. Gebelerin yaşı ile sosyal destek ölçeği alt boyutları arasında bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0,05). Gebelerin eğitim durumu ile sosyal destek ölçeği alt boyutları arasında bir ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Eş eğitim ve gebelerin çalışma durumu ile arkadaş ve özel insan sosyal destek puanı arasında bir ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Gebelerin gelir durumu ile aile ve arkadaş sosyal destek puanı arasında bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (p<0,05). Çalışmaya alınan gebelerin sosyal destek düzeyinin ortanın üstünde olduğu ve en fazla sosyal desteği ailelerinden sağladıkları görülmüştür. Gebelerin sosyal destek alma düzeyleri gebe ve eşlerinin eğitim ve çalışma durumlarından olumlu yönde etkilenmektedir
