In recent years, traditional medical practices have become widespread worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions of knowing and applying the traditional methods used for pregnancy and lowering for women who apply to a university hospital pregnancy clinic. The data of the study in the cutting-edge type were collected from 329 women applying to the pregnancy clinic between 15.08.2018-15.09.2018 and the survey form. The survey examined the socio-demographic and pregnancy characteristics of the participants, the knowledge and application of the traditional methods used for pregnancy and reduction. In the analysis of the data, Mann-Whitney U and Ki-Care test were used. The average age of the participants was 28.9±5.9, the marriage age was 22.9±4.8 and the first pregnancy age was 23.9±5.1. 235 of the participants (73.2 percent) were unemployed and the monthly income of the 199 family (63.0 percent) was below 2000 lbs. The most well-known of the traditional methods used to stay pregnant were the muska printing, leak-flating and flour leaking, the most well-known used to make low, the most well-known were the heavy items lifting, jumping from height to jumping, and slide jumping. 65 of the women (19.8%) are pregnant, and 96 (29%) are pregnant. 2) He knew any of the traditional methods used to make low. 5 of the women (1.5%) used a traditional method to make 14 (4.3%) low to get pregnant. Unmarried people knew more of the traditional methods to get pregnant. The unmarried, the ones themselves and their spouses who have received high school and higher education, the ones who are unemployed, the ones who have spouses officials, the ones who have a monthly income above £5,000 were more likely to know the method to make the low. Also, as the age, the age of marriage and the age of first pregnancy increased, the number of pregnancies increased and the number of desired low-making increased the frequency of women to know the method to do low. The frequency of using a traditional method to do low was greater in the village-born and desirable low-made people. A woman around them, who used a traditional method to get pregnant and make low, knew and applied the traditional methods. Among the women in the study were those who knew and practiced the traditional methods used to get pregnant or low. The inclusion of those who are harmful to health among the methods is an important problem in terms of public health. Health workers should pay special attention to women who are not married, unemployed, who have a high level of education and income in reproductive health education. It should be noted that older women with a high number of pregnancies and worthy decline in family planning counseling use of traditional methods has health disadvantages. Women are affected by their surroundings. It is therefore important that healthcare staff provide training on modern methods.
