Özet:

 Objective: We aimed to determine the risk perceptions of women with risky pregnancies. This study aimed to enhance and reevaluate their risk perceptions after providing education about their risks. Material and Methods: This educational intervention study aimed to engage 336 pregnant women out of a 2,664 population with high-risk pregnancies in Adıyaman, Türkiye. In total, 444 pregnant women participated in the study. Participants completed the sociodemographic questionnaires, a pregnancy risk perception assessment, and a knowledge assessment related to pregnancy risks. The questionnaires were administered twice: once before the educational intervention and again 2-4 weeks after the intervention, allowing us to measure the effectiveness of the education. Results: After the educational intervention, pregnant women demonstrated a significant increase in both their risk knowledge and risk perception scores p0.001. Furthermore, we observed a positive correlation between knowledge scores and age p0.001 as well as first gestational age p0.001, while a negative correlation was found with gestational age p0.003. Additionally, a positive correlation emerged between the risk perception score and age p0.008 and the number of obstetrician visits p0.024. Conclusion: To enhance the risk perception, it is crucial to provide them with specialised education on this subject. This is imperative because every woman with a high-risk pregnancy is not only vulnerable to maternal mortality but also places her infant at a higher risk of infant mortality.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada riskli gebelerin risk algılarını belirleme amaçlandı. Çalışma, verilecek eğitim sonrasında risk algısını tekrar değerlendirmeyi ve risk algısını geliştirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu eğitim müdahale çalışmasında, Adıyamanda riskli gebeliği olan 2.664 kadından en az 336sına ulaşmak amaçlandı. Toplamda 444 kadın çalışmaya katıldı. Katılımcılara, sosyodemografik bilgilerini içeren anket ile birlikte gebelik risk algısı ve riskleri ile ilgili anketler uygulandı. Anketler, eğitim müdahalesinden önce ve müdahaleden 2-4 hafta sonra olmak üzere iki kez uygulanarak eğitimin risk algısı üzerinde etkinliği değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Eğitim müdahalesinden sonra, katılımcıların risk bilgisi ve risk algısı puanlarında anlamlı bir artış görüldü p0.001. Ayrıca, bilgi puanları ile yaş p0.001 ve ilk gebelik yaşı p0.001 arasında pozitif bir korelasyon gözlemlendi, buna karşın gebelik haftası ile negatif bir korelasyon bulundu p0.003. Ek olarak, risk algısı puanı ile yaş p  0.008 ve obstetrik ziyaret sayısı p0.024 arasında pozitif bir korelasyon saptandı. Sonuç: Gebe kadınların risk algısını artırmak için bu konuda onlara özel eğitim sağlamak çok önemlidir. Bu, yüksek riskli gebeliği olan her kadının sadece anne ölümlerine karşı savunmasız olmakla kalmayıp, aynı zamanda bebeğini de bebek ölümleri riski altında bırakması nedeniyle gereklidir.
