Özet:

 Introduction: The study was planned to investigate the opinions of midwifery students about genital cosmetic surgery and their perceived competence in providing care to women who have undergone genital cosmetic surgery. Methods: In this descriptive study, 731 volunteer students from the midwifery departments of universities located in seven geographical regions of Turkey and selected using a random sampling method were included. Data were collected using the Research Survey Form prepared by the researchers via Google Forms. Numbers and percentages were used and the chi-square test was performed in the analysis of the data. Results: The average age of the students participating in the study was 21.60. Of them, 73.9 and 68.8 stated that topics on general aesthetic surgery and genital cosmetic surgery, respectively were not included in their courses. Of the genital cosmetic surgery procedures, the one known most is hymenoplasty. The response to the question Why should genital cosmetic surgery be performed? with the highest rate was concern about aesthetic appearance 88.4. There was a significant relationship between genital cosmetics topics taught in courses, and the variables such as a year of at school and self reported competence to provide care to women who had genital cosmetics surgery. Conclusion: Giving education to midwifery students on the issue in line with international guidelines and current literature is important for the development of their professional competence and the health of women for whom they will provide care after graduation.

 Giriş: Çalışma, ebelik öğrencilerinin genital estetik cerrahi hakkındaki görüşlerini ve genital estetik cerrahi geçirmiş kadınlara bakım verme yeterliliklerini araştırmak amacıyla planlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma Türkiyenin yedi farklı coğrafi bölgesinden rastgele örneklem yöntemi ile seçilen yedi ebelik bölümünün öğrencileri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmaya çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 731 öğrenci katılmıştır. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Araştırma Anket Formu kullanılarak, Google form aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde sayı, yüzde ve ki kare testi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.60tır. Öğrencilerin 73.9u genel estetik cerrahi, 68.8i ise genital kozmetik konularının derslerinde yer almadığını belirtmiştir. Genital kozmetik cerrahi prosedürlerinden en çok bilineni hymenoplastidir. Genital kozmetik cerrahi neden yapılmalıdır? sorusuna en yüksek oranda verilen yanıt estetik görünüm kaygısı olmuştur 88.4. Genital kozmetik konularının derslerde anlatılma durumu ile okudukları sınıf ve genital kozmetik cerrahi geçirmiş kadına bakım verme yetkinliği arasında anlamlı farklılık olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Ebelik öğrencilerine bu konuda uluslararası kılavuzlar ve güncel literatür doğrultusunda eğitim verilmesi, mesleki yeterliliklerinin geliştirilmesi ve mezun olduktan sonra bakım verecekleri kadınların sağlığı açısından önemlidir.
