Abstract
Diploma darba nosaukums: “Kultūras un reliģijas ietekme uz pēcdzemdību Laktācijas Perioda Kontracepcijas Tendencēm”
Pētijuma mērķis: Šī pētījuma mērķis ir uzzināt, kāda ietekme ir reliģijai un kultūrai uz kontracepciju un vai laktācijas amenoreja kā kontracepcija iespaido neplānotās grūtniecības.
Pētījuma formāts: Pētījums tika veikts veicot aptauju Portugāles un Latvijas iedzīvotājām vecuma grupā no 18 līdz 65 gadiem, lai iegūtu infromāciju par kontracpecijas izmantošanu un to, kā reliģija un kultūra ietekmē šo sieviešu kontracepcijas izvēli, kā arī reliģijas un kultūras ietekmi saistībā ar neplānoto grūtniecību. Vecuma grupa tika paplašināta līdz 65 gadu vecumam, lai izpētītu kultūras atšķirības starp paaudzēm.
Pētījuma rezultāti: Aptaujā piedalījās 235 sievietes vecumā no 18 līdz 65 gadiem, no kurām 132 (56.2%) nacionālā piederība bija Portugāles un 103 (43.8%) Latvijas. Lielākajai daļai bija augstākā izglītība (68.9% portugāļu un 79.6% latviešu). No šīs grupas 99% no portugāļu populācijas ir katoļi, bet latviešu ir 37.8% luterāņi, 26.21% ir katoļi un 1.9% ir pareizticīgie.
Visi dalībnieces zināja, kas ir kontracepcija (100%) un lielākais vairums ir izmantojušas kontracepciju iepriekš (99% portugāļu un 83% latviešu). Aptuveni 20-25% sievietēm ir bijusi neplānota grūtniecība. Latvijā mazāk sieviešu ir izmantojušas kontracepciju barojot ar krūti.
Secinājumi: Neplānoto grūtniecību skaits strap reliģiozām sievietēm Portugālē (77.8%) ir ievērojami augstāks kā Latvijā (45.8%), šī atšķirība var būt potenciāi saistīta ar kultruālajām atšķirībām. Rezultātā hipotēze “Kultūras un Reliģijas Ietekme uz Pēcdzemdību Laktācijas Perioda Kontracepcijas Tendencēm.” ir pierādīta.
Title of the student research work: The Role of Culture and Religious Background in Postpartum Contraception Aim of the research: This research aims to find how much women are influenced by culture and religion when it comes to contraception and if postpartum contraception plays a role in unplanned pregnancies. Research design: A study was implemented in the form of a questionnaire in Portugal and Latvia among women in the age group between 18-65 to find out the knowledge on contraception and how religion and culture influence women's choices on contraception and its effects on unplanned pregnancies. The age group was extended up to 65 years old to explore cultural differences between generations that were more influenced by the events of their decade. Research results and analysis: A total of 235 women between 18-65 years old of which 132 (56.2%) were Portuguese and 103 (43.8%) were Latvian participated in this study. The majority of these women have a higher level of education (68.9% Portuguese and 79.6% Latvian). Of the target population, 99% of the Portuguese population is Catholic while the Latvian population is mainly Lutheran 37.8%, 26.21% is Catholic and 1.9% follows Orthodox religion. All participants know what contraception is (100%) and a great part has used a method of contraception before (99% Portuguese and 83% Latvian). Furthermore, approximately 20-25% of women have had an unplanned pregnancy. Additionally, in Latvia fewer women used contraception while breastfeeding. Conclusion: The number of unplanned pregnancies in Portugal is higher among religious women (77.8%) than in Latvia (45.8%), which can have discrepancies due to cultural differences. Thus, the hypothesis “The greater the impact of culture and religion the greater the number of unexpected pregnancies.” is shown to influence women’s decisions regarding contraception and breastfeeding, but also has an impact on unplanned pregnancies.
