dc.description.abstractObjective: In this study, it is aimed to examine the water used by individuals, water consumption, water consumption behaviors and the factors affecting them in Akçadağ district of Malatya province. Methods: In August, a 4-part questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic and drinking water information form, water and fluid consumption frequency form and a questionnaire containing water consumption scale of behavior was applied to 303 individuals over 15 years of old who applied to family health centers in Akçadağ district. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 statistical software. Mann Whitney-U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for the analysis of the data. In all evaluation, the p-value of less than 0.05 considered significant. Results: 49.8% of the participants were male and 64.4% were married. The median daily water consumption of the individuals was 2000 mL (320 mL-1000 mL) and the median daily liquid consumption was 3300 mL (718 mL-17001 mL). There was no significant difference between age groups, marital status and education level and daily water, other fluid and total fluid consumption of participants. 48.8% of individuals stated that they save water and the most important reason for this is the high water bill. Water consumption behaviors of individuals are moderate. In our study, there was no significant difference between gender, place of residence and number of family members and total scale score and subscale scores. Total scale score and subscale scores of the married individuals and those who stated that they did any work at home to reduce the use of water were significantly higher than the single individuals. Water and fluid consumption of individuals are at good levels. Conclusion: When the most important factors in saving water are examined, the high water bills were noteworthy. In order to ensure correct water consumption, the society should be informed, the necessary sensitivity should be performed to behavioral change and measures should be taken. © 2020.
