Türkiye'de COVID-19'a yönelik toplum yaklaşımı: ilk vaka görüldükten bir ay sonra

Year 2020, Volume: 77 Issue: 4, 381 - 398, 01.12.2020

Abstract

Amaç: Yeni koronavirüs hastalığı için koruyucu önlemler hakkında toplumun bilgi tutum ve davranışlarını değerlendirmek, salgın kontrolü için uygulanan müdahalelerin etkinlik ve uygulanabilirlik düzeyini saptamakta fayda sağlayacaktır. Ayrıca, bu konudaki çalışmalar salgın sürecini yönetebilme ve yeni yapılacak müdahalelere ışık tutması açısından gereklidir. Bu nedenle çalışmamızın amacı Türkiye’de yaşayan bireylerin Yeni Koronavirüs Hastalığı hakkında bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını saptamaktır.Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma 11-21 Nisan 2020 tarihleri arasında bir çevrimiçi anketi 10 kullanılarak uygulanmıştır. Anket çevrimiçi olarak uygulandı ve dâhil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan en yüksek sayıda kişiye örneğin, 18 yaş ve üstü ulaşmak için sosyal medya platformları kullanıldı. Anket formu sosyodemografik, sağlık özgeçmiş ve bilgi, tutum ve davranış sorularını içeren üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın tanımlayıcı sonuçları verilmiştir. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik özeliklerine göre bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarının analizinde ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada toplam 8505 kişi katılmıştır. Katılımcıların %59,3’ü 5045 kadın ve %77,7’si 6808 üniversite veya üstü seviyede eğitim düzeyine sahipti. Katılımcıların %90’ından fazlası hastalığın bulaşma yolu, belirtileri, risk grupları, izolasyon ve tedavisi ile ilgili soruları doğru yanıtlamıştır. Katılımcıların %55,2’si hastalığın Türkiye’de ve %38,6’sı ise dünyada başarıyla kontrol altına alınacağını düşünmektedir. Katılımcıların %55,6’sı Yeni Koronavirüs enfeksiyonunun hava ısınınca sona ermeyeceğini ve %35,1’i hastalanmanın kaderi olduğunu düşünmektedir. Korunmaya yönelik davranışlardan en çok uygulananları el hijyeni, evde kalma, dışarıda maske takmadır. Katılımcıların %98,8’i hastalıktan korunmak için ellerini yıkıyormuş. Sonuç: Çalışmamız kapsamındaki kişilerin bilgi tutumu ve davranışları yüksek olarak değerlendirilmiş olsa da, çalışma popülasyonunda daha sonraki toplum müdahalelerinde dikkate alınması gereken bazı bilgi ve davranış boşlukları belirlenmiştir. Gelecekte olabilecek salgın kontrolü müdahalelerinde, insanların eğitim seviyesi, istihdam durumu ve dini inançları gibi sosyal belirleyicilerde dikkate alınmalıdır

Community approach towards COVID-19 in Turkey: one month after the first confirmed case

Year 2020, Volume: 77 Issue: 4, 381 - 398, 01.12.2020

Abstract

Objective: During this time when the COVID-19 is rising in Turkey, assessing the knowledge, attitude and practices of the public about the COVID-19 will be useful in finding out whether the interventions to control the outbreak are effective and viable. Furthermore, such studies are needed to properly manage the outbreak process and cast light on future interventions. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of people in Turkey about the COVID-19.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was implemented between 11 and 21 April 2020 using an online questionnaire. The survey was applied online, and social media platforms were used to reach out to the highest number of people who met the inclusion criteria i.n., people aged 18 or older . The questionnaire consists of three parts socio-demographic 40 questions, medical history, and knowledge, attitude, and practice section . Descriptive statistics and a comparison of participants’ knowledge degrees about COVID-19 is tested using the Chi square test.Results: A total number of 8505 participant were Katılımcıların %59,3’ü 5045 kadın ve %77,7’si 6808 üniversite veya üstü seviyede eğitim düzeyine sahipti. Katılımcıların %90’ından fazlası hastalığın bulaşma yolu, belirtileri, risk grupları, izolasyon ve tedavisi ile ilgili soruları doğru yanıtlamıştır. Katılımcıların %55,2’si hastalığın Türkiye’de ve %38,6’sı ise dünyada başarıyla kontrol altına alınacağını düşünmektedir. Katılımcıların %55,6’sı Yeni Koronavirüs enfeksiyonunun hava ısınınca sona ermeyeceğini ve %35,1’i hastalanmanın kaderi olduğunu düşünmektedir. Korunmaya yönelik davranışlardan en çok uygulananları el hijyeni, evde kalma, dışarıda maske takmadır. Katılımcıların %98,8’i hastalıktan korunmak için ellerini yıkıyormuş. Sonuç: Çalışmamız kapsamındaki kişilerin bilgi tutumu ve davranışları yüksek olarak değerlendirilmiş olsa da, çalışma popülasyonunda daha sonraki toplum müdahalelerinde dikkate alınması gereken bazı bilgi ve davranış boşlukları belirlenmiştir. Gelecekte olabilecek salgın kontrolü müdahalelerinde, insanların eğitim seviyesi, istihdam durumu ve dini inançları gibi sosyal belirleyicilerde dikkate alınmalıdır.accepted for the study. 59.3% 5045 of respondents were women and 77.7% 6808 had a university degree or higher. 85.6% 7277 of the participants had a good level of knowledge about COVID-19. Over 90% of participants have answered the questions about the mode of transmission of the COVID-19, symptoms, risk groups, isolation, and treatment correctly. 55.2% 4696 of respondents thought that the disease would be successfully taken under control in Turkey and 38.6% 3282 in the world eventually. 55.6% 4731 believed that the COVID-19 will not go away when the weather gets warmer. 35.1% 2983 believed that getting the disease is preordained by fate. The most frequently practiced protective behaviors included hand hygiene, staying at home and wearing mask outside. 98.8% reported that they use their hands in order to protect theirselves from COVID-19. Conclusion: Though, the knowledge attitude and practice of participants in our study was evaluated high, there were some knowledge and practice gaps in study population that should be considered in further community interventions. The future interventions for the epidemic control need to consider social determinants such as the level of education, employment status and religious beliefs of people
