Abstract:

Purpose: This study is aimed at evaluating women who have been born in terms of Obstructive Defection Syndrome and constipation and determining the effect of the form of birth on Obstructive Defection Syndrome. The research universe was composed of 239 women who have made a little birth, applying to the gynecological clinic of an educational research hospital. The data of the study was collected with the survey form, which contains the socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics of the participants prepared on the basis of literature, "Obstructive Expression Score" and "Bristol Gaita Scale". Results: 60% of the participants were vaginal, and 40.0% were caesarean. 46.4 percent of participants were diagnosed with constipation and 4.6 percent obstructive defection syndrome. There was no statistically meaningful relationship between obstructive defection syndrome and age, form of birth and menopause. The Bristol gaita score has found a statistically meaningful relationship between the form of birth. It has also been established that there is a meaningful relationship between women’s obstructive defection syndrome scores and Bristol gaita scores. The result is that obstructive defecation syndrome has been determined to have a low rate of living and a high rate of constipation. Due to the high rate of constipation living in pregnant women, it is recommended to support constipation preventive approaches (pregnancy mobilization, fiber food consumption), to be advised by the health team and to conduct randomized controlled studies on the subject.
