Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı “mesleğe özgü ayakkabı” kullanımının tinea pedis oluşumu ile ilişkisini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2009 - Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında Ankara Meslek Hastalıkları Hastanesi’ne mesleki mağduriyetlerinin tespiti amacıyla başvuran hastalardan mesai saatleri
boyunca metal uçlu ayakkabı kullanma öyküsü olan 53 hasta çalışma grubuna alınmıştır.
Mesleğe özgü ayakkabı giyme zorunluluğu olmayan 53 hasta ise kontrol grubunu oluşturmuştur. Tüm hastalar tinea pedis açısından klinik muayene ve gerekirse laboratuar
tetkikleriyle değerlendirilmişlerdir.

Bulgular: Çalışma grubunda tinea pedis oranı % 47,1 olarak belirlenmiştir. Buna karşın kontrol grubundaki hastaların % 18,9’ unda tinea pedis tanısı konulmuştur. Yapılan ki-kare
testi ile mesleğe özgü ayakkabı kullanımı ile tinea pedis görülme sıklığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.
Sonuç: Mesleğe özgü koruyucu çelik mokasen ayakkabı kullanımı mesleki tinea pedis oluşumunda
yatkınlığa yol açabilmektedir.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate relationship between the use of “professionspecific shoe” and the formation of tinea pedis

Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2011, all of the patients who were admitted to Ankara Hospital of Occupational Diseases for the purpose of the determination of
their grievances related with their occupations were evaluated. Of these patients, fifty three patients who had a history of using steel moccasins shoes during the office hours were
included into the study group. Another 53 workers with no obligation to wear shoes that are specific to the profession formed the control group. By clinical examination and laboratory methods all of the patients were evaluated for tinea pedis.

Results: The frequency of tinea pedis was 47.1% in the study group. Tinea pedis was diagnosed in 18.9% of patients in the control group. With the use of Chi-square test, a statistically
significant relationship between the frequency of occurrence of tinea pedis and the use of steel moccasins shoes was found.

Conclusion: The use of the profession-specific protective steel moccasins shoes can lead to the formation of professional tinea pedis.
