Üçüncü Basamak Bir Sağlık Kuruluşunda Çalışan Hekimlerde İnme Farkındalığı

Öz

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı 3. basamak sağlık kuruluşunda çalışan hekimlerin inme farkındalığı ve iskemik inme tedavi yaklaşımları hakkındaki bilgi birikimlerinin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 35,4 olan 59 hekim dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmada Adıyaman Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi eğitim araştırma hastanesinde aktif olarak görev yapan, bigilendirilmiş gönüllü onam formunu imzalayan uzman ve asistan hekimlere toplam 12 sorudan oluşan ve cevaplanması 5 dakikadan daha kısa süren anket formu ulaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hekimlerin %66,1’i (n=39) uzman, %33,9’u (n=20) asistan hekim olarak görev yapmaktaydı. Katılımcıların %57,6’sı (n=34) daha önce inme ile alakalı bir bilgilendirme toplantısına katılmamıştı. Tüm sorulara verilen ortalama doğru cevap oranı %37,8 olarak ölçüldü. İnmeli hastanın ilk müdahalesi, inme prevalansı ve trombolitik tedavi ajanı ile ilgili sorulara asistan hekimlerin uzman hekimlere oranla daha yüksek oranda cevap vermiştir. İnme ile ilgili bilgilendirme toplantısına katılan hekimlerin, inmenin önlenebilirliği ve trombolitik tedavi ajanı ile ilişkili sorulara daha yüksek oranda doğru cevap vermiştir. Sonuç: İskemik inmede hastaların mortalite ve morbiditesini etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biri kuşkusuz ki zamandır. Gerek toplumun gerekse sağlık çalışanlarının bu konuda bilinçlenmesi hayati öneme sahiptir. Tüm hekimlerin etkin eğitimler ve bilgilendirme toplantılarıyla inme ve inme tedavisi konusunda farkındalıklarının arttrılmasına ihtiyaç olduğu kanaatindeyiz.

Stroke Awareness of Physicians Working in a Tertiary Healthcare Institution

Öz

Aim: To investigate the knowledge and awareness of physicians working in tertiary healthcare institutions concerning stroke and treatment approaches for ischemic stroke. Material and Method: Fifty-nine physicians with a mean age of 35.4 years were included in the study. A survey consisting of 12 questions taking less than 5 minutes to complete was delivered to the specialist and research assistant physicians who were actively employed in Adıyaman University Faculty of Medicine Training and Research Hospital and signed the voluntary informed consent form. Results: Of the physicians participating in the study, 66.1% (n=39) were working as specialists and 33.9% (n=20) as research assistant physicians. More than half the physicians (57.6%, n=34) had not previously attended an informative meeting on stroke. The average rate of correct answers given to all survey questions was 37.8%. The research assistant physicians correctly answered the questions concerning the first intervention in a stroke patient, prevalence of stroke, and thrombolytic treatment agent at a higher rate than the specialist physicians. The physicians who had previously attended an informative meeting on stroke provided more correct answers to the questions on stroke preventability and thrombolytic treatment agent. Conclusion: Undoubtedly, since time is one of the most important factors affecting mortality and morbidity in case of an ischemic stroke, it is vital that both society and healthcare professionals become aware of this health condition. We believe that the awareness of all physicians concerning stroke and its treatment should be increased through effective training and informative meetings
