This study used a descriptive and cross-sectional research design. A total of 632 women who gave birth in the postpartum service at a hospital were included in the study. The data were collected using a participant information form prepared by the researcher. Chi-square test and independent sample t-test were used to analyze the data. This study found that the mean pregnancy number and whether the current pregnancy was planned or not were higher for the women whose newborn babies were girls than for those whose newborn babies were boys, and that the mean birth weight of newborn girls was lower than that of newborn boys (p<0.05). No statistically significant relationship was found between the gender of newborn babies and the weight gained during pregnancy, mode of delivery, APGAR score, the time of beginning breastfeeding and giving supplementary food to the newborn babies (p>0.05). This study found that the gender of newborn affected their birth weight and is a determinant factor for the fertility rate of women. In these cases against girls, careful attention of health professionals is needed to ensure continuous and different victimization, close attention to risky couples, is recommended for the development of women's health.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetAraştırma, yenidoğanın cinsiyetinin gebelikte kazanılan kilo, doğum şekli ve yenidoğanın bazı parametreleri ile ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tiptedir. Araştırmaya bir hastanenin postpartum servisinde doğum yapan 632 kadın alındı. Veriler araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan katılımcı bilgi formu aracılığıyla toplandı. İstatistiksel analizde ki-kare testi, independent sample t testi analizi kullanıldı. Araştırmada, kız yenidoğana sahip olan kadınların ortalama gebelik sayısı ve mevcut gebeliğin planlı olma durumu erkek yenidoğana sahip olanlara göre daha yüksek (p<0.05); kız yenidoğanların ortalama doğum kilosunun ise erkeklere oranla daha düşük olduğu saptandı (p<0.05). Araştırmada yenidoğanın cinsiyeti ile gebelikte kazanılan kilo, doğum şekli, APGAR skor, emzirmeye başlama zamanı ve yenidoğana ilk 24 saat içinde ek gıda verilmesi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0.05). Araştırmada yenidoğan cinsiyetinin yenidoğanın doğum kilosunu etkilediği ve kadının doğurganlık hızında belirleyici bir faktör olduğu belirlenen çalışmada; kadın sağlığının geliştirilmesi için, kız çocuklar aleyhine olan bu durumlarda, sürekli ve farklı mağduriyetlerin yaşanmaması için sağlık profesyonellerinin dikkatli olması, riskli çiftlerin yakından ele alınması önerilmektedir.

In testing the mean of a population or comparing the means from two populations. There are several statistics available: the t-test, z-test, F-test and the chi-square test. Both the t-test and the z-test are usually used for continuous populations, and the chi-square test is used for categorical data. The F-test is used for comparing more than two means. In this paper we will discuss: 1) the conditions on using these tests; 2) the relationship among these test; and 3) illustration of the p-values of these tests by graphs. Some concluding remarks will be provided.
