Özet:

 The current study has been conducted to determine folic acid FA knowledge, prevalence of use and related factors in the preconception period.The cross-sectional study has been completed with the participation of 384 pregnant women. The data of the study has been collected with the Personal Information Form and Questions on Prevalence and Knowledge of Folic Acid Supplement Use surveys. In the study, the total FA knowledge score of pregnant women has been found below the average as 4.122.65 Min-Max0-10. It has been determined that there was a significant difference among FA knowledge total score and age p0.009, education level p0.001, employment status p0.001, whether the pregnancy was planned p0.001, receiving care during the preconception period p0.007 and time to start FA supplementation p 0.030 It has been determined that 17.2 of the pregnant women participating in the study knew the right time to start FA supplementation and 17.7 of the pregnant women started FA supplementation in the preconception period. It has been determined that informing all women of reproductive age about using FA supplements during the preconception period and directing them to use FA is an important predictor of preventing health problems such as Neural Tube Defect.

 Mevcut çalışma, prekonsepsiyonel dönemde folik asit FA bilgisi, kullanım prevalansı ve ilişkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Kesitsel tipteki çalışma 384 gebe kadının katılımıyla tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Folik Asit Takviyesi Kullanım Yaygınlığı ve Bilgisine Dair Sorular anketleri ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmada gebelerin FA bilgi toplam puanı 4.122.65 Min-Max0-10 olarak ortalamanın altında bulunmuştur. Yaş p0.009, eğitim seviyesi p0.001, çalışma durumu p0.001, gebeliğin planlı olma durumu p0.001, prekonsepsiyonel dönemde bakım alma p0.007 ve FA takviyesine başlama zamanı p0.030 ile FA bilgi toplam puanı arasında anlamlı fark olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan gebelerin 17.2sinin FA takviyesine başlama dönemini doğru bildikleri ve gebelerin 17.7sinin FA takviyesine prekonsepsiyonel dönemde başladığı tespit edilmiştir. Prekonsepsiyonel dönemde FA takviyesi kullanmak ile ilgili üreme çağında olan tüm kadınları bilgilendirmenin ve FA kullanımına yönlendirmenin Nöral Tüp Defekti gibi sağlık problemlerinin önüne geçilmesinde önemli bir yordayıcı olduğu saptanmıştır.
