Bir Üniversitede Kadın Çalışanların Doğurganlık Tercihi İle İlişkili Faktörler
Abstract
Araştırmada, Iğdır Üniversitesi kadın çalışanların doğurganlık tercihi ile ilişkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel türde yapılan çalışmada örneklem seçimine gidilmeden tüm evrene ulaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Iğdır Üniversitesi'nde Nisan 2022 tarihinde akademik ve idari personel kadrosunda görev yapan 186 kadın personel oluşturmaktadır. Bu kadınların 142’si evlidir. Literatür taraması yapılarak araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen soru formları kullanmıştır. Soru formunda kadınların demografik özellikleri, sosyo-ekonomik özellikleri, doğurganlık özellikleri, kültürel özellikleri, son gebeliğe, doğuma ve doğum sonu ile ilgili bilgilerine ilişkin sorular yer almaktadır. Verilerin analizinde yüzde dağılımı, ortalama, standart sapma, Pearson Chi-Square ve Fisher’s Exact testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Çalışma bulgularına göre yaşanılan yer, kadının eğitim seviyesi, eşin eğitim seviyesi, akraba evliliği, ailenin ekonomik durumu ve hanedeki kişi sayısı ile kadının doğurganlık tercihi arasında anlamlı ilişki var iken; aile yapısı ve eşin düzenli gelir getiren bir işte çalışma durumu ile kadının doğurganlık tercihi arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunamamıştır (p<0,05).

Factors Associated With Fertility Preference Of Female Employees At A University
Abstract
The research aims to determine the factors associated with the fertility preference of female employees at Iğdır University. In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, an attempt was made to reach the entire universe without choosing a sample. The population of the research consists of 186 female staff working in academic and administrative staff at Iğdır University in April 2022. 142 of these women are married. A literature review was conducted and questionnaires developed by the researcher were used. The questionnaire includes questions about women's demographic characteristics, socio-economic characteristics, fertility characteristics, cultural characteristics, information about the last pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, Pearson Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact test were used to analyze the data. In the study, the significance level was accepted as p<0.05. According to the study findings, there is a statistically significant relationship between the place of residence, the woman’s educational level, the husband’s educational level, consanguineous marriage, the family’s economic status, and the number of household members with the woman’s fertility preference, whereas no significant relationship was found between family structure and the husband’s employment in a regular income-generating job (p<0.05).
