Giriş: Tuzlama ülkemizde yenidoğan döneminde gözlenen geleneksel uygulamalardandır. Folklor kaynaklarında başta Anadolu'da olmak üzere Türkler arasında yaygın olduğu belirtilmiştir. Temel olarak bebeklerin büyüdüklerinde kokmayacağı inancına yönelik yapılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte uygulama sağlık sorunlarına yol açabilmektedir. Materyal ve Metot: Hastanemizde üç aylık dönemde çocuk kliniğimize gelen bebek, çocuk ve adolesanların ailelerinden tuzlama uygulamasıyla ilgili veriler elde edildi. Yüzyüze görüşme yoluyla elde edilen 584 dosyanın verileri incelendi. Bulgular: Vakaların %67 (n=391)'si tuzlanmış, %33 (n:193)'ü tuzlanmamıştı. Tuzlama yapılanlarda en küçük yaş 2 gün, en büyük yaş 15,71 yıl, ortalama yaş 4,41 yıl idi. Tuzlananlarda erkek oranı %49,62 (n=194), kız oranı %50,38 (n=197) olup değerler benzerdi. Tuzlanmayanlarda erkek oranı %50,26 (n=97), kız oranı ise %49,74(n=96) idi. Tuzlama yapılan vakaların %27(n=104)'sinde günü hatırlanmıyor, %11 (n=42) göbeği düşünce yapılmış. Tuzlama zamanı ilk doğduğu günden en fazla 90 güne değişiyor, ortalama ise 19,31. gün idi. Tuzlananlar grubunda sezaryen doğum oranı %62 (n=241), normal doğum oranı %38 (n=150) idi. Tuzlanmayanlar grubunda sezaryen doğum oranı %65 (n=126), normal doğum oranı %35 (n=67) olup benzer değerlerde idi. Sonuç: Bebek Tuzlama hala yaygın olarak yapılan geleneksel uygulamalardandır. Uygulamanın sağlık sorunlarına yol açması olasıdır. Sağlık çalışanları konuyla ilgili bilgilendirilmeli, sağlık kurumlarında ailelere önleme eğitimleri verilmelidir.

Today, due to misapplications in the post-partum and neonatal period, many newborns are at high risk in terms of mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. Unfortunately, in spite of the development of modern medicine and the ease of access to information, the situation remains as a problem, which should be addressed as a priority for our country, which has rich cultural and traditional features. In this compilation created by scanning the national literature, various traditional methods applied by family members in the neonatal period in our country, the reasons for their practices and these practices’ effects on newborn health were examined. As a result, it was determined that some of the traditional methods applied to the newborn contribute to the child’s health positively, some have not any effect, and some have serious or fatal consequences. It is recommended to know the results of these methods applied in various regions and cultures in our country, to organize training programs for nurses, maternal-infant health workes and family members about the importance of this issue, to develop the scales on newborns about the traditional practices and to allow for the researches which examine the health status in the coming years of the children applied traditional methods in the neonatal period.
