ABSTRACT

This cross-sectional study with an open-ended manner aimed (1) to evaluate the environmental risk perception levels of mothers having at least one child and living in Adana and (2) to determine their awareness of the risk factors in their environment. Of mothers, 30.2% did not know the concept of environmental risk factor. Most frequent perceived risks were violence (17%), air pollution (15.5%) and undefined pollution (15%). The most common mentioned problems in their environment were air pollution (9.9%), violence (7.9%) and municipal service problems (8.4%). Mothers living in the urban area reported more violence, air pollution and undefined pollution as environmental threats than those living in the countryside. The place of residence, the education level of the mother and the number of people in the house significantly were related with the risk perception. There is a need for studies in other regions to determine the environmental literacy of mothers.

摘要

这项以开放式方式进行的横断面研究旨在 (1) 评估至少有一个孩子并居住在阿达纳 (Adana) 的母亲的环境风险感知水平，以及 (2) 确定她们对环境中风险因素的认识。30.2%的母亲不知道环境危险因素的概念。最常见的感知风险是暴力（17%）、空气污染（15.5%）和不确定的污染（15%）。最常见的环境问题是空气污染（9.9%）、暴力（7.9%）和市政服务问题（8.4%）。与住在农村的母亲相比，居住在城市地区的母亲报告说，作为环境威胁的暴力、空气污染和不确定污染更多。居住地，母亲的受教育程度和家中人数与风险认知显着相关。需要在其他地区开展研究以确定母亲的环境素养。
