The knowledge level of chest physicians about the pulmonary rehabilitation topic

Öz

Objective: The pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is multidisciplinary, evidence-based and personalized treatment approach for patients with a symptomatic chronic respiratory disease and reduced daily living activities. In this study, we aimed to determine the knowledge level of chest physicians about PR in our city. Methods: A standardized questionnaire consisting of 10 questions was conducted to a total of 40 chest diseases specialist and assistant doctors who are working at the university hospital, training and research hospital and a private hospital in Diyarbakir city and its purlieus. The questions about the definition of PR, goals, evaluation criteria, patient who candidate for rehabilitation and rehabilitation team, were asked in questionnaire. Ten points was given for each correct answer to closed-ended questions. The knowledge level were identified as low, moderate and high when points were

Göğüs hastalıkları hekimlerinin pulmoner rehabilitasyonla ilgili bilgi düzeyleri

Öz

Amaç: Pulmoner rehabilitasyon (PR) semptomatik kronik solunum hastalığı olan ve günlük yaşam aktiviteleri azalmış̧ hastalar için multidisipliner, kanıta dayalı ve kişiye özel tedavi yaklaşımıdır. Bu çalışmada ilimizde göğüs hastalıkları hekimlerinin PR konusunda bilgi düzeylerinin ölçülmesini amaçladık. Yöntemler: Diyarbakır ili ve çevresinde üniversite hastanesi, eğitim araştırma hastanesi ve devlet hastanelerinde çalışan toplam 40 göğüs hastalıkları uzmanı ve asistanın doktoruna PR’la ilgili toplam 10 sorudan oluşan standart bir anket uygulandı. Ankette PR tanımı, hedefleri, değerlendirme ölçütleri, rehabilitasyona aday hasta ve rehabilitasyon ekibi ile ilgili sorular soruldu. Şıklı sorulara verilen her bir doğru yanıta 10 puan verildi. Bilgi seviyesi, puan 50’nin altında olunca düşük, 50-70 arası orta, 80-100 arası yüksek olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 36,1±7,79 ve göğüs hastalıkları alanında çalışma süreleri 5,57±7,71 yıl idi. Üniversite hastanesi doktorlarının %78,9’u, Eğitim araştırma hastanesi doktorlarının %57,1’i, devlet hastanesi doktorlarının %50’i soruların yarısından fazlasına doğru cevap verdi. Sonuç: İlimizdeki göğüs hastalıkları hekimlerinin PR konusundaki bilgi seviyesi büyük oranda düşük ve orta düzeydedir. Pulmoner rehabilitasyonla ilgili tıp fakültelerinde eğitim müfredatı oluşturulmasının ve mezuniyet sonrası eğitimler ile sahadaki hekimlerin bilgilendirilmesinin bu konuyla ilgili farkındalığı artıracağı ve hekim ve hastaların PR’a ilgisini arttıracağı düşüncesindeyiz
