Diş Teknisyenlerinin Covıd-19 Pandemi Sürecine Yönelik Görüşlerinin Değerlendirilmesi: Bir Keşfedici Araştırma

Year 2023, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 83 - 92, 31.08.2023

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 salgınının Türkiye Cumhuriyetindeki diş teknisyenleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Amaç sadece veri toplamak ve analiz etmek değil, aynı zamanda Türkiye'deki diş teknisyenlerinin pandemi sürecini nasıl ele aldığını vurgulamak ve bilgi düzeylerini ölçmektir. Bu süreç içerisinde Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin tüm bölgelerindeki diş teknisyenlerinin iş yoğunluğundaki değişim, diş teknisyeninin kendisini, hekimi ve hastayı korumak için aldığı önlemler incelenecektir.
Yöntem: Keşfedici tipteki bu çalışmada Türkiye'deki diş teknisyenlerinin COVID-19 pandemi sürecindeki davranışlarının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla internet ortamında Google formlar üzerinden çevrimiçi olarak geliştirilen; teknisyenlerin iş gücündeki değişimi, COVID-19 prosedürlerinin uygulanması, virüse karşı korunma, COVID-19 hakkında bilgi düzeyleri ve sosyodemografik bilgilerini içeren 31 sorudan oluşan bir anket oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmamıza 118 diş teknisyeni katılmıştır. Bağımsız gruplardaki değişkenlerin analizinde ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde diş teknisyenlerinin aşılanma oranları düşüktür. Protez ve ölçülere temasta kadın diş teknisyenleri erkek diş teknisyenlerine eldiven kullanmaya daha çok önem vermişleridir ve protezleri kliniklere göndermeden önce dezenfekte etmeye daha çok dikkat etmişlerdir. Genç diş teknisyenleri daha yaşlı teknisyenlerine göre dental laboratuvarlar için önerilen COVID-19 kılavuz/protokolü uygulamaya daha çok özen göstermişlerdir.
Sonuç: Bu konuda daha fazla katılımcı popülasyonun olduğu, daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Ayrıca diş teknisyenlerine tedbirlere uyma ve uygulama konusunda daha fazla eğitim verilmeli ve laboratuvar şartları ile ilgili denetlemeler sıklaştırılmalıdır.
