Abstract

Dünyada infertilite tedavisinde çok sayıda geleneksel yöntem kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Iğdır Melekli kasabasında yaşayan kadınların infertiliteye çözüm bulmak için kadınların geleneksel yöntemlerle ilgili bilgi ve deneyimlerini araştırmaktır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın minimum örneklem büyüklüğü, popülasyonu bilinen olgularda olayın görülme sıklığı formülüne göre belirlenmiştir. Araştırma Türkiye’nin en doğusundaki yer alan Iğdır’ın Melekli kasabasında yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak 214 kadınla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, ev ziyaretleri sırasında kadınların sosyo-demografik özellikleri ve yöntemlere ilişkin bilgi ve deneyimlerini belirlemek için açık ve kapalı uçlu sorulardan oluşan form ile toplanmıştır. Görüşmeler 30-45 dakika arasında sürmüştür. Yanıt veren kadınların %85’i çocuk sahibi olabilmek için geleneksel yöntemleri bildiklerini ve %9,3’ü ise gebe kalmak için geleneksel yöntemleri denediğini belirtmiştir. Kadınların gebe kalmak için sıklıkla bildikleri geleneksel yöntemler; buhar üzerine oturma, doğrudan vajen içine yapılan uygulamalar, ped aracılığıyla yapılan vajinal uygulamalar, karın bölgesine ısı uygulama, karışım içme, pelvik bölgeyi sarma şeklindedir. Çocuk sahibi olmak için geleneksel uygulamaların kullanımını önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir (P<0.05). Çalışmaya katılan kadınların neredeyse tamamı çocuk sahibi olabilmek için geleneksel yöntemleri bildiğini ve çok az kısmı ise çocuk sahibi olmak için bildikleri geleneksel yöntemleri uyguladığını belirtmiştir.
