    Comparison of Fathers' Perceptions of Gender Roles and Their Impact on Breastfeeding Support in the Turkish Population: A Cross-Sectional Study
    (Wiley, 2025) Ozturk, Simge; Tashan, Sermin Timur
    Purpose: This study aims to determine the impact of fathers' perceptions of gender roles on breastfeeding support in the Turkish population. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational design study was conducted with fathers of infants aged 0-6 months (n = 502) who were followed up at the pediatric outpatient clinics of a state hospital in Turkey between September and October 2024. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Partner Breastfeeding Influence Scale, and the Gender Perception Scale. Analyses included percentages, means, standard deviations, one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-test, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Pearson Correlation, and path analysis. Results: Around nine out of every 10 babies were younger than 4 months old, and half of them were the first breastfed child. Path analysis showed that the father being currently employed (beta = -0.34; p < 0.001), having planned the pregnancy (beta = -16, p < 0.001), infant's age (beta = -13, p < 0.001), and the GPS total score (beta = -11, p < 0.05) had a significant effect on the breastfeeding process and explained 17% of the total variance. Conclusion: This study found that the father being currently employed, living in a city center, having a planned pregnancy, the infant's early age, and egalitarian perceptions of gender roles had a positive effect on breastfeeding. When evaluating breastfeeding, healthcare professionals should consider the effects of partner breastfeeding influence and gender perception on breastfeeding.

    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2025) Agrali, Cansu; Tore, Fatma KeskIn; Nacar, Gulcin; Ozturk, Simge
    Objective The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the perceived trauma levels of women at reproductive age after earthquakes on their menstruation cycle.Methods This descriptive and correlational study was conducted between March 17, 2023, and April 17, 2023, after the earthquakes that happened in Turkey on February 6, 2023 and affected 11 cities. The study was conducted with 355 women. Data were collected using an online questionnaire form prepared via Google Forms. Data collection was performed using a Participant Information Form and the Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale.Results According to the multiple regression analysis results, the significant predictors of perceived trauma levels after the earthquakes included the severity of dysmenorrhea (beta-coefficient = 0.164, P = .007), characteristics of vaginal discharge (beta-coefficient = 0.136, P = .027), and itching in the perineum (beta-coefficient = -0.220, P = .001). These variables explained 12.4% of the total variance in the perceived trauma levels of the participants.Conclusions The perceived trauma levels of women after the earthquakes had significant effects on the severity of dysmenorrhea, characteristics of vaginal discharge, and itching in the perineum. Health professionals should not overlook the effects of women's perceived trauma levels on their menstruation cycles after earthquakes and evaluate the issue considering these aspects.
