Abstract

Today, colonoscopy is widely used in many diseases,
especially in the screening and diagnosis of colorectal cancers. There are
prejudiced ideas stating that procedures and examinations such as colonoscopy
from the anorectal region which is regarded as one of the most intimate areas
of that body, humiliate patients. Because these ideas will disturb the patient
by creating a feeling of embarrassment in the patient and may adversely affect
the success of the procedure, it is important to manage and minimize this
emotion. Interventions, such as patient education and counseling for
individuals feeling embarrassed due to colonoscopy procedure, decrease the
feeling of embarrassment, increase patient comfort, facilitate adherence to the
procedure, provide the participation of more people in colorectal cancer
screening, and thus make contribution to early diagnosis of colorectal cancers.
The aim of this review is to determine the potential reasons of embarrassment
of the patients, who undergo colonoscopy, upon literature review, to inform
nurses about management of embarrassment, and increase their awareness.

Bir Kolonoskopi Gerçeği: Utanma Duygusu Ve Yönetimi

Abstract

Kolonoskopi günümüzde başta kolorektal kanserlerin
tarama ve tanısı olmak üzere pek çok hastalıkta yaygın olarak uygulanmaktadır.
Vücudun en mahrem bölgelerinden biri olarak kabul edilen anorektal bölgeden
yapılan kolonoskopi gibi işlemler ve muayenelerin hastaları küçük düşürdüğüne
dair ön yargılı fikirler vardır. Bu fikirler hastada utanma duygusu oluşturarak
hastayı rahatsız edeceğinden ve işlemin başarısını olumsuz yönde
etkileyebileceğinden bu duygunun yönetilerek en aza indirilmesi önemlidir.
Kolonoskopi işleminden utanan bireyler için hasta eğitimi ve danışmanlığı gibi
müdahaleler bireyin utanma duygusunu azaltarak hasta konforunun artmasına,
işleme uyum sağlamasına, kolorektal kanser taramalarına daha fazla kişinin
katılımı sağlanarak kolorektal kanserlerin erken dönemde tanılanmasına katkı
sağlar. Bu derleme; kolonoskopi uygulanan hastaların yaşadıkları potansiyel
utanma nedenlerini literatür incelenmesiyle belirlemek, hemşireleri utanma
duygusu yönetimi hakkında bilgilendirmek ve farkındalıklarını artırmak amacıyla
yazılmıştır.
