Abstract
ÖZET
Amaç: Bu araştırma kanser hastalarının hastalıklarını nasıl algıladıklarını ve bu algıyı etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan bu araştırma Atatürk Üniversitesi Sağlık Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesi Medikal Onkoloji Kliniği’nde yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verileri Ocak–Eylül 2010 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya belirtilen tarihler arasında klinikte yatarak tedavi gören 18 yaş ve üzerinde, Türkçe okuyabilen ve anlayabilen, araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılan, araştırmaya katılmayı engelleyebilecek fiziksel ve zihinsel bir engeli bulunmayan 192 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri soru formu ve Hastalık Algısı Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların hastalığın başlangıcından beri en fazla yorgunluk yaşadığı ve en çok bu belirtiyi hastalıkları ile ilişkilendirdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Hastaların hastalık hakkındaki görüşleri ile ilgili alt boyutlar incelendiğinde; kişisel kontrol algısı ve sonuçlar algısı puan ortalamalarının diğer alt boyutlara göre yüksek olduğu ve süre (döngüsel) algısı ve hastalığı anlayabilme puan ortalamalarının ise en düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Hastaların en fazla hastalık nedeni olarak risk faktörlerini algıladıkları belirlenmiştir. Sonuç; hastaların hastalığın süresi, seyri ve tedavisi üzerindeki iç kontrol algılarının yüksek ve hastalığı anlama ve kavramalarının düşük olduğu belirlemiştir.
