Nausea and vomiting affect over 60% of pregnant women and are significantly associated with systemic illness, iron supplementation, and previous NV experience.
Aim: The research was conducted in order to determine the incidence of nausea-vomiting (NV) at the pregnancy and the related factors. Method: The study was planned to be hospital-based, descriptive and cross-sectional. The sampling of the study consisted of 307 pregnant women chosen with the improbable random sampling method. The data were collected from the Women Policlinics of Vehbi Sahap Women’s and Children’s Diseases Hospital of the Health Ministry, Aksaray Province between 01 January 2010 and 07 June 2010. The Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) scoring system, developed by the researchers drawing on the literature, were used in the collection of the data. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, chi-square test and the significance test (t) of the difference between two means were used. Findings: It was found that 60.6 % of the pregnant women had complaints associated with nausea-vomiting (NV) and 42 % had mild NV whereas 18 % had moderate / severe NV. It was discovered that there was a statistically significant correlation between NV and presence of a systemic illness, use of iron supplements, use of medicine and previous NV experience (p<0.05) during pregnancy. There was not any statistically significant correlation between NV in pregnancy and body mass index (BMI), smoking, planned pregnancy and the mode of previous delivery (p>0.05). Result: As a result, NV in pregnancy is an important health problem that affects more than half of the women. It will be a huge contribution to provide health-trainings to the pregnant women and their close friends or relatives with the consideration of the risk factors of NV in order to enable the women to deal with this problem. There is a big responsibility for the health care workers about this issue. [TAF Prev Med Bull 2011; 10(3.000): 281-286]

Systemic illness, iron supplements, medication use, and previous NV experience vs. Absence of these risk factors was evaluated on Incidence of nausea-vomiting (NV) (p=<0.05). Nausea and vomiting affected 60.6% of pregnant women and was significantly associated with systemic illness, iron supplement use, medication use, and previous nausea-vomiting experience (p<0.05).
