Genel Muayene Sırasında Saptanan Kardiyak Üfürümlerde Ailelerin Endişe Düzeyi ve Farkındalığı, Çocuk Kardiyolojisi Uzmanından Beklentileri

Year 2014, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 59 - 63, 01.08.2014

Abstract

Amaç: Çocuklarında üfürüm saptanan ailelerin endişe düzeyinin, çocuk kardiyolojisi kliniğine başvurma farkındalığının ve çocuk kardiyolojisi uzmanından beklentilerinin belirlenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Genel muayene sırasında üfürüm saptanan ve çocuk kardiyolojisi kliniğine ilk kez başvuran hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Çalışmaya alınan hastalarda patolojik/masum üfürüm ayırımı yapılmadı. Mayıs-Ağustos 2013 tarihleri arasında kliniğimize başvuran 354 aileye 7 sorudan oluşan anket verilerek soruları cevaplamaları istendi.Bulgular: Çocuklarında üfürüm olduğunu öğrendiklerinde ailelerin içinde bulundukları endişe düzeyi ortalama 10 üzerinden 8 puandı. Ailelerin çocuk kalp hastalıkları ile ilgilenen bir bölümün varlığının farkındalığı %60.7 iken, beklentileri sorulduğunda; %8.4’ü kardiyak muayenenin yeterli olacağını, %82.2’si ekokardiyografi yapılması gerektiğini düşünmekteydi. Çocuklarında üfürüm olduğunu öğrenmeleri ile çocuk kardiyolojisi kliniğine başvurma arasında geçen süre sorulduğunda; %59’unun bir gün içinde, %29.6’sının bir hafta içinde başvurduğu görüldü. Çocuklarında üfürüm olduğunu öğrendiklerinde %79.9’u bunun önemli bir kalp hastalığının bulgusu olduğunu düşündüklerini belirtirken, %51.4’ünün araştırma ve bilgi edinme yoluna gittiği, %55.4’ünde bilgi edinme yolunun internet olduğu öğrenildi.Sonuç: Çocuklarda duyulan kardiyak üfürümler sıklıkla masum vasıflı olmasına rağmen ailelerde ciddi düzeyde endişeye neden olmaktadır. Çocuğunun kalbinde üfürüm olduğu söylenen ve bilgilendirilmeyen aileler mutlaka bir üçüncü basamak sağlık kuruluşuna başvurmakta, çoğu kardiyak muayenenin yeterli olmayacağını düşünmekte ve ekokardiyografi ile değerlendirilmeyi talep etmektedir.

The Anxiety Level, Awareness and Expectations from Pediatric Cardiologist of Parents Whose Children Have Been Diagnosed with a Cardiac Murmur During the General Physical Examination

Year 2014, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 59 - 63, 01.08.2014

Abstract

Objective: To determine the anxiety levels, awareness of the need to go to a pediatric cardiology clinic and the expectations from pediatric cardiologists of parents whose children have a cardiac murmur. Material and Methods: Children with cardiac murmurs diagnosed during general physical examinations and presented at pediatric cardiology clinics for the first time were included in the study. Both pathological and innocent murmurs were included. The questionnaire forms consisting of 7 questions were answered by 354 families presenting at the pediatric cardiology clinic between May and August 2013Results: The anxiety level of the parents when they learned that their children had cardiac murmur was 8 out of 10 points. The parents’ awareness of a department dealing with pediatric heart disease was 60.7%, When their expectations were asked 8.4% of the parents said that a cardiac examination would be enough while 82.2% thought that echocardiography should be performed. It was determined that 59% of the parents presented at a pediatric cardiology clinic within a day and 29.6% within a week. According to 79.9% of the parents, the murmur was a sign of a serious heart disease; 51.4% of them investigated and obtained information about the murmur, and 55.4% of them used the internet for this purpose Conclusion: Cardiac murmurs cause a significant level of anxiety in parents even though they are mostly innocent. The parents of a child
with cardiac murmur who are not provided information by a health care provider at the primary or secondary care health centers typically visit
a pediatric cardiology clinic and ask for echocardiography examination
