Özet:

 Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the Internet decision-making status of risky and non-risky pregnant women. Method: The research employed an analytical and case-control design. The sample of the study consisted of 214 pregnant women, including 107 in the risky group and 107 in the non-risky group, who applied to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic. In the study, the data were collected using The Introductory Information Form and The Internet Decision-Making Scale in Pregnancy IDMSP through face-to-face interviews. In the evaluation of the data, Chi-square test, Independent Samples t-Test and Mann Whitney U test were used in addition to descriptive statistics. Results: The mean age of the pregnant women participating in the study was 28.08  6.37 years. It was determined that 56.1 of the pregnant women who participated in the study met their need for information on the Internet, 46.7 checked the blog pages of the doctors while searching on the Internet to receive information about pregnancy, and 49.1 mostly used the Internet for searching about the prenatal development and health of the baby. The overall mean score of the pregnant women at risk obtained from the IDMSP was significantly higher compared to those in the non-risky group p0.002. Conclusion: The Internet decision-making status of risky pregnant women has been found to be higher compared to non-risky pregnant women. Accordingly, midwives and nurses should inform pregnant women that information on the Internet is not always safe, and it is important to consult healthcare professionals when making a decision regarding pregnancy.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, riskli olan ve olmayan gebelerin internet yoluyla karar alma durumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma analitik, vaka kontrol tiptedir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, Kadın Doğum Polikliniğine başvuran 107 riskli, 107 risksiz olmak üzere toplamda 214 gebe kadın oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veriler yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Gebelikte İnternet Yoluyla Karar Alma Ölçeği GİYKAÖ kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra Ki kare testi, Independent Samples t Testi ve Mann Whitney U testi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan gebelerin yaş ortalaması 28.08  6.37dir. Çalışmaya katılan gebelerin 56.1inin gebelikteki bilgi ihtiyacını internetten karşıladığı, 46.7sinin gebelikle ilgili bilgi almak için internet sitelerine bakarken özellikle doktor sitelerine baktığı ve 49.1inin gebelikle ilgili en fazla bebeğin gelişimi ve sağlığı konusu için interneti kullandığı belirlenmiştir. Riskli gebelerin risksiz gruptaki gebelere göre GİYKAÖ toplam puan ortalaması anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksektir p0.002. Sonuç: Riskli gebelerin internet yoluyla karar alma durumu risksiz olan gebelere göre daha yüksektir. Bu doğrultuda ebe ve hemşirelerin; gebelere internette yer alan bilgilerin her zaman güvenli olmadığı açıklanmalıdır. Gebelik sürecine ilişkin karar alırken, mutlaka sağlık personellerine danışılması önem arz etmektedir.
