Abstract

Allergic rhinitis (AR) affects the individual's quality of life, psychological well being, cognitive functions and sleep quality. Patients often experience annoying symptoms, mood disorders, decreased work productivity and even loss of work. In pediatric patients undiagnosed or untreated/undertreated AR may be related with learning difficulties which may have an important impact on community's present and future life. AR medication, health care utilization, loss of productivity and work is also related with a cost which is also important for patients, their families and society's economic status. All these factors rendered the disease a social aspect. This article aimed to present the social problems generally related to allergic rhinitis.

Abstract

Alerjik rinit (AR) kişinin yaşam kalitesini, psikolojik iyilik halini, bilişsel işlevlerini ve uyku kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Hastalar sıklıkla rahatsız edici semptomlar, duygudurum bozuklukları, iş üretkenliğinde azalma hatta iş kaybı yaşarlar. Alerjik rinitlerine tanı konmamış, tedavi edilmemiş veya yetersiz tedavi edilmiş çocuk hastalar toplumun o anki ve ileriki yaşamını önemli oranda etkileyebilen öğrenme zorlukları ile ilişkili olabilir. Alerjik rinit ilaçları, sağlık bakım hizmetlerinin kullanılması, üretkenlik ve iş kaybı hastalar, aileleri ve toplumun ekonomik durumu için önemli bir maliyeti vardır. Tüm bu faktörler hastalığa sosyal bir veçhe kazandırmaktadır. Bu makale alerjik rinitle ilişkili sosyal sorunları genel bir bakış açısıyla sunmayı amaçlamıştır.
