Use Of Primary Healthcare Services And Associated Factors Among Psychiatric Outpatients In A University Hospital
Öz
Objective: It is the analyzeto use of primary health care (PHC) services and associated factors among psychiatric out patients in Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) Hospital.
Material and method: This is a
cross-sectional study. The dependent variable is PHC services utilization and
the independent variables are gender, age, occupation, marital status, social
insurance status, educational status, place of residence and income level. A
questionnaire form was applied by face to face interviewing the patients who
applied to the DEU Hospital psychiatry outpatient in the period of 1-31 January 2016. Chi-square
test and Fisher's exact test were used.
Results: Of the participants,
13.7% applied to the family health centres because of psychiatric problems. Of
the patients who used the PHC services due to psychiatric problems (n=25), 40%
was referred directly to the hospital, 32.0% was referred after being
prescribed medication, 28.0% was prescribed medication. When the use of PHC
services by the participants according to their socioeconomic characteristics was
analyzed, the use of PHC services found to be significantly higher in unmarried
participants compared to those who are married (p=0.043). There was no
significant relationship between age,
gender, occupation, social security, educational status, place of
residence, income level and PHC
utilization.
Conclusion: The admission rate to
the Family Health Centers due to psychiatric problems is very low. The reasons
for this are as follows: perception that psychiatric problems can be treated
only by psychiatrists, lack of trust in general practitioner and allocation of
limited time. The community should be informed that PHC services also include
mental health services.
