Abstract:

In this study, the level of care, vaccination, and nutrition during pre-born and during childbirth and the effects of seasonal migrations on the health of children and child deaths are studied. The universe of research is formed by women who live in the Age and are seasonal immigrants. The example is that there are 200 women who live in the province of Çağlayancerit and are seasonal immigrants. In the framework of previous research, a 20 question survey was created. The survey was implemented in the 2nd week of February 2019. In the analysis of the data collected in the study, SPSS 22 used the statistical package program and the Excel program. The seasonal migration has a significant impact on the health of children and child deaths. The high rate of early age deaths of children of seasonal migrants suggests that beyond the poor environmental characteristics there is a negative situation in the transportation to healthcare. In fact, the study found that seasonal immigrant women did not benefit sufficiently from health care before and during childbirth, their children had a low vaccination rate, and nutritional deficiency was common among immigrant women’s children. The low levels of education in seasonal migrants may lead to the lack of sufficient knowledge of children’s diseases. Women should be informed about early marriages, their educational levels should be raised, and they should be engaged in working life in the context of social security. The priority of these groups at risk when health services are planned, the planning of educational work on the matters and children’s health issues in the first-level health institutions, the availability of the health services offered, the continuity of the health services, the quality of the health services, the improvement of the quality of the health services, will make it possible to reach even better points in our country with significant developments in early age child death rates.
