Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Otorhinolaryngology Examination and Hearing Evaluation Training for Family Physicians

Abstract

Objective: In our study, we aimed to investigate the level of knowledge of family physicians working in primary health care organizations about ENT diseases, to examine how they manage frequently admitted ENT patients, to identify the problems they experience during examination and to examine the effect of the training given. Method: Participants were first administered a 30-question pre-test created by the researcher based on the literature. Then, a collective training lasting 2 days and 1.5 hours per day was given by an ENT specialist from the researchers and a post-test was applied. Afterwards, the topics in which the researchers made the most mistakes or remained uninterpreted were recorded and a training program including these topics was created and training was given. Results: Of the 21 family physicians over 30 years of age, 2 (14.29%) were male and 18 (85.71%) were female. When the time of graduation from medical school of the family physicians in the study was analyzed, the number of family physicians with 5-10 years of medical school graduation was 4 (19.05%), 10 (47.62%) with 10-20 years of medical school graduation, and 7 (33.33%) with more than 20 years of medical school graduation. All of the family physicians who participated in the study think that ENT education is important for primary care medicine. Conclusion: ENT diseases are common in primary care. In order for family physicians to manage their patients more comfortably, we believe that rotations in the field of ENT diseases in the postgraduate period would be appropriate.
