Özet:

 Objective: The study aims to examine the knowledge and awareness levels of midwives and nurses working in obstetrics clinics. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between May and September 2022 with 229 midwives and nurses working in obstetrics clinics in Turkey using the snowball sampling method. Data were collected online with a questionnaire. The data were analyzed with the SPSS package program, and their distribution was shown as numbers and percentages. Results: 78.2 of the participants were midwives and 21.8 were nurses. When they were asked about their knowledge level on microbiota; 47.8 of them were bad, 45 of them were moderate and 7.2 of them were at a good level. When they expressed their opinions about microbiota related with womenchildrens health; 66.4 disagree that antibiotic use of the mother during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum period doesnt affect the infant intestinal microbiota, 62.9 agree that unhealthy vaginal microbiota doesnt protect women against infections, 56.3 disagreed that intestinal microbiota of normal or newborn born by cesarean section isnt different from each other and 43.7 disagreed that intestinal microbiota is different in newborns fed with breast milk and formula. 10 of midwives and nurses attended a training on microbiota. While 50.7 of them stated diet and 42.4 of them lifestyle as effective factors in the formation of microbiota; 35.8 of them stated that they didnt know about this issue. Conclusion: Improving the knowledge and awareness of midwives and nurses working in obstetrics and gynecology clinics, training and planning in this direction will make important contributions to increasing the microbial health of women and children.

 Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı kadın doğum kliniklerinde çalışan ebe ve hemşirelerin bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma Mayıs-Eylül 2022 tarihleri arasında Türkiyede kadın doğum kliniklerinde çalışan, 229 ebe ve hemşire ile kartopu örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler anket formu ile çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS paket programı ile analiz edilmiş, dağılımları sayı ve yüzde olarak gösterilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 78.2si ebe, 21.8i hemşiredir. Katılımcılara mikrobiyota konusundaki bilgi düzeyleri sorulduğunda; 47.8i kötü, 45i orta ve 7.2si iyi düzeyde olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Ebe ve hemşirelerin mikrobiyota ile kadın ve çocuk sağlığına ilişkin ifadeler hakkındaki görüşleri incelendiğinde; gebelik, doğum ve doğum sonu dönemde annenin antibiyotik kullanımı bebek intestinal mikrobiyotasını etkilemez ifadesine 66.4ü katılmıyorum, sağlıksız vajinal mikrobiyota kadını enfeksiyonlara karşı korumaz ifadesine 62.9u katılıyorum, normal veya sezaryen ile doğan yenidoğan intestinal mikrobiyotası birbirinden farklı değildir ifadesine 56.3ü katılmıyorum ve anne sütü ve formül mama ile beslenen yenidoğanlarda bağırsak mikrobiyotası farklıdır ifadesine 43.7si kararsızım şeklinde görüş belirtmiştir. Ebe ve hemşirelerin 10u mikrobiyota ile ilgili bir eğitime katılmıştır. Ebe ve hemşirelerin 50.7si beslenme şekli ve 42.4ü yaşam tarzını mikrobiyota oluşumunda etkili faktörler olarak belirtirken; 35.8i bu konuda bilgisinin olmadığını ifade etmiştir. Sonuç: Kadın doğum kliniklerinde çalışan ebe ve hemşirelerin mikrobiyota konusunda bilgi düzeyi ve farkındalıklarının geliştirilmesi, bu doğrultuda eğitim ve planlamaların yapılması kadın ve çocuk mikrobiyal sağlığının yükseltilmesinde önemli katkılar sağlayacaktır.
