Amaç: Mersin Şehir Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Erişkin
Palyatif Biriminden faydalanan hasta profilini çıkarmak Yöntem: Hastanemiz Palyatif Bakım biriminde 15.03.2017/15.03.2018
tarihleri arasında yatan 850 hastanın dosyaları HBYS üzerinden retrospektif
olarak incelendi. Hastalara ait yaş, cinsiyet, hastanede kalış süresi, yatış
tanısı, beslenme durumu ve taburculuk durumları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 850 hastanın
450’si %53’si kadın, 400’ü %47’si erkek hasta idi. Palyatif Bakım biriminde
yatan hastaların yaş ortalaması 69.3±17.6 olup, hastanede ortalama kalış
süreleri 11.2±13.3 gün olarak belirlendi. Hastaların 242’si (%28) malignite ve
maligniteye bağlı komplikasyonlar nedeni ile hastanede yatırıldı. 217 hasta
(%25) serebrovasküler hastalıklar ve sekelleri nedeniyle yatırıldı. Bu
tanılarla yatan hastaların 162’sine (%18) beslenme bozukluğu ve yatak yarası
tanıları eşlik etmekteydi. Bu hastaların 423’ünün (%50) beslenmesi enteral ve
parenteral yolla sağlandı. Hastaların 468’i (%55) başka bir branşa sevk
edilirken, 282’si (%33) taburcu edildi, 100 (%11) hasta ex oldu. Sonuç: Dünyada Palyatif bakım birimleri
yaygın olmakla birlikte ülkemizde birçok hastanede yeni açılmaktadır. Dünyanın
her yerinde yaşlı nüfustaki ve kronik hastalıklardaki artış, palyatif bakım
ihtiyacını artırmaktadır. Bunun için hasta profilinin belirlenip ona göre
Palyatif Bakım Birimlerinin gerekli donamıma ve eğitimli personele sahip olması
