Comparative Cross-Sectional Study on Sexual Function of Couples During Pregnancy: Assisted Reproductive Techniques Versus Spontaneous Conceptions
(Womens Health & Action Research Centre, 2024) Dulger, Ozlem; Dinmez, Sinem; Torun, Sebahat D.; Osmanoglu, Usame O.; Ebelik Bölümü
This study aims to compare the sexual functions of couples undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART) with those conceiving spontaneously during pregnancy. A total of 102 couples participated in this cross-sectional study, with 68 couples in the spontaneous conception group and 34 couples in the ART group. Data collection was conducted face-to-face in the antenatal clinic using separate "Descriptive Information Form" for women and men, "Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)" for women, and "Libido Scoring System (LSS)" for men. Descriptive statistical methods, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests, t-test, and Pearson correlation test were used for data analysis. It was observed that the mean FSFI total scores of women who conceived spontaneously and through ART during pregnancy were at a good level (>= 30), while the mean LSS scores of their partners were at a moderate level (5-7). No statistically significant distinction existed among the groups. Further research is advisable by adjusting the sample selection criteria, such as gravida, duration of ART treatment, and gestational age.
The Correlation Between Vitamin D Levels and Thyroid Functions in Early Pregnancy
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2025) Dinmez, Sinem; Özlem, Dülger; Oğul, Zeynep
Vitamin D deficiency (serum vitamin D <10 ng/ml) and thyroid dysfunctions are prevalent issues globally, particularly during pregnancy. Evidence suggests a potential link between thyroid function and vitamin D levels. This study aims to investigate the correlation between serum vitamin D levels and thyroid functions in wome n during the first trimester of pregnancy. The study was conducted retrospectively at a University Education and Research Hospital’s pregnancy clinic, covering data from August 2023 to March 2024. The sample group consisted of first -trimester pregnant women who attended routine pregnancy check-ups and had complete vitamin D levels and thyroid function tests (n=185). The sociodemographic data form and blood serum level assessment forms were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The average age of the pregnant women participating in our study was 27.6±4.9 years, and the Body Mass Index (BMI) was 25.4±4.8 (overweight). The mean number of pregnancies was 1.13±0.3, and the gestational week was 8.19±1.8. Of the participants, 35 had subclinical hypothyroidism, 37 had thyroiditis, and 113 had normal thyroid functions. The study identified 36 women with normal/adequate vitamin D levels (≥20 ng/ml), 113 with vitamin D insufficiency (10–20 ng/ml), and 36 with vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/ml). The correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between the thyroid function tests and vitamin D levels of the pregnant women. It was determined that vitamin D levels do not affect thyroid gland function in the first trimester.
Covid-19 Tanısı Almış Gebelerin Tanı, Tedavi, İzlem Süreçleri ve Gebelerin Hastalığa Yaklaşımları
(2022) Dinmez, Sinem; Eroglu, Kafiye
Amaç: Bu araştırma Covid-19 tanısı almış gebelerin tanı, tedavi, izlem süreçleri ve gebelerin hastalığa yaklaşımlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Retrospektif tanımlayıcı tipte olan çalışma, İstanbul’un bir ilçesinde Covid-19 nedeniyle izlenen 68 gebe üzerinde yapılmıştır. Veriler ‘‘Covid-19 ile Enfekte Olmuş Gebeleri Değerlendirme Formu’’ ile toplanarak, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemlerle analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Gebelerin çoğunlukla ikinci ve üçüncü trimesterde enfekte oldukları, tomografi ve sürüntü testi ile tanı aldıkları, en sık halsizlik, öksürük semptomları yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Gebeler 15 günden daha uzun süre evlerinde izole olup, yarıya yakını tıbbi tedavi almamıştır. En sık korku ve çaresizlik hissettiklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Gebelerin yarısı gebelik izlemlerine daha az gittiklerini, sezaryen doğumu tercih ettiklerini belirtirken yarıya yakını gebelikle ilgili işlemlerini aksattıklarını belirtmiştir. Gebelerin çoğunluğu bebeklerini emzirmeyi planladıklarını ifade etmiştir. Sonuç: Covid-19’la enfekte olan gebelerin bu süreçte gebeliğin rutin izlem ve uygulamalarından yararlanamadıkları, ruhsal desteğe ihtiyaç duydukları ve normal doğum fikrinden uzaklaştıkları saptanmıştır. Gebelik izlemleri ve danışmanlık için hemşirelerin online izlem gibi alternatif uygulamaları başlatmaları önerilir.
