Abstract

Objective: There isn’t consensus on the definition and measurement of health. The measurement health, however, is crucial for investigating and improving the current situation. It’s possible to see studies conducted on patients suffering from different diseases. Circulatory system diseases are among them. When the studies are investigated, it’s seen the number of the studies is rare. Thus, it’s aimed to reveal the health status of patients suffering circulatory system disease and living in Turkey. It’s aspired to determine the factors which affect the health status. Materials and Methods: The Turkey Health Study published by the Turkish Statistical Institute in 2019 was used. The data were analyzed with the SPSS 23. Descriptive statistics, difference tests and regression analysis were employed. Results: The health status was affected by individual and demographic characteristics, the presence of a different comorbid disease, and the level of use of health services (p<0.05). The health status of women, those who are above middle age, those who don’t have education, those who don’t work in any job, and those having a lower income level, are lower in circulatory system patients. Conclusion: It’s thought the information obtained within this study will provide evidence-based information for stakeholders and policy-makers. Keywords: Health Status, Circulatory System Diseases, Cross Sectional Study.

Dolaşım Sistemi Hastalarında Algılanan Sağlık Statüsü ve Belirleyicileri

Abstract

Amaç: Sağlığın tanımı ve ölçümü noktasında halen bir uygulama birliği bulunmamasına rağmen birey ve toplum sağlığının ölçümü, mevcut durumun tespiti ve iyileştirilebilmesi için son derece önemlidir. Literatürde farklı türden hastalığı olan bireyler üzerinde bu tür araştırmaların yapıldığını görmek mümkündür. Söz konusu hastalıkların başında ise dolaşım sistemi hastalıkları gelmektedir. Ancak Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde söz konusu çalışmaların sayıca az olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de dolaşım sistemi hastalığı olan bireylerin algılanan sağlık statülerinin ortaya konulması ve söz konusu durumu etkileyen faktörlerin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu amaçla Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu tarafından 2019 yılında yayımlanan Türkiye Sağlık Araştırması veri seti kullanılmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 23 programı ile analiz edilmiş ve çalışmanın amacına ulaşabilmek için tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden, fark testlerinden ve regresyon analizinden faydalanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma sonucunda; dolaşım sistemi hastalarının sağlık statülerinin hastaların bireysel ve demografik özelliklerinden, eşlik eden farklı bir hastalığa sahip olma durumu ve sağlık hizmetine erişim düzeylerinden etkilendiği tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Kadın, orta yaş ve üzerinde yer alan, eğitim almamış, herhangi bir işte çalışmayan ve düşük bir gelir düzeyine sahip olan dolaşım sistemi hastalarının algılanan sağlık statüleri daha düşüktür. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak; bu çalışma kapsamında elde edilen bilgilerin sağlık sektörü paydaşları ile politika yapıcıları için kanıta dayalı bilgiler sunacağı düşünülmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sağlık Statüsü, Dolaşım Sistemi Hastalıkları, Kesitsel Araştırma.
