Objectives: This study aims to examine the relationship between individuals' beliefs about cardiovascular diseases and their physical activity levels. Materials and Methods: The population of this descriptive study consisted of 77,082 individuals aged 30-50 years enrolled in family health centers in the central district of Kutahya. There was no sample selection, and 411 individuals who applied to family health centers on the dates of the study, volunteered to participate in the study, and met the inclusion criteria constituted the sample of the study. The data were collected using the Socio-Demographic Characteristics Form, the Health Beliefs Related to Cardiovascular Diseases Scale, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. Test of the difference between two means (t test) and Pearson correlation analysis was used in the analysis of data. Results: The mean score of participants' Health Beliefs Related to Cardiovascular Diseases was 63.88±6.01. When the Physical Activity scores of the individuals participating in the study were examined, it was determined that 88.1% were inactive in cases of vigorous activity, 88.2% were inactive in cases of moderate activity, and 55.2% were minimally active in walking situations. A significant difference was found between the smoking status of the participants and the Health Beliefs Related to Cardiovascular Diseases scale, sensitivity sub-dimension, and vigorous physical activity score (p<0.05). A significant difference was found between the participants' medication use status and the Health Beliefs Related to Cardiovascular Diseases scale, sensitivity sub-dimension, benefit sub-dimension, and obstacle sub-dimension (p<0.05). A very weak positive correlation (r=0.121 p=0.01) was found between individuals' beliefs about cardiovascular diseases and their physical activity levels. Conclusion: The study participants' physical activity scores were found to be at an inactive level, while their Health Beliefs Related to Cardiovascular Diseases scores were determined to be intermediate. There was a correlation between individuals' beliefs about cardiovascular diseases and their physical activity levels.

Bireylerin Kardiyovasküler Hastalıklara İlişkin İnançlarının Fiziksel Aktivite Düzeyleri ile İlişkisi: Kütahya Birinci Basamak Örneği

Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırma, bireylerin kardiyovasküler hastalıklara ilişkin inançlarının fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmanın evreni, Kütahya merkez ilçesindeki aile sağlığı merkezlerine kayıtlı 30-50 yaş 77.082 bireyden oluşmaktadır. Örneklem seçimine gidilmeyerek araştırmanın yürütüldüğü tarihlerde aile sağlığı merkezlerine başvuran, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü ve dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 411 kişi araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Veriler Sosyo-Demografik Özellikler Formu, Kardiyovasküler Hastalıklara İlişkin Sağlık İnançları Ölçeği ve Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde iki ortalama arasındaki farkın önemlilik testi (t testi) ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların Kalp ve Damar Hastalıkları ile İlişkili Sağlık İnançları puan ortalaması 63,88±6,01’dir. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin fiziksel aktivite skorları incelendiğinde; şiddetli aktivite yapma durumlarında %88,1’inin inaktif olduğu, orta şiddetli aktivite yapma durumlarında %88,2’sinin inaktif olduğu ve yürüme durumlarında %55,2’sinin minimal aktif olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların sigara kullanma durumları ile Kalp ve Damar Hastalıkları ile İlişkili Sağlık İnançları ölçeği, duyarlılık alt boyutu ve şiddetli fiziksel aktivite skoru arasında anlamlı fark saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Katılımcıların ilaç kullanma durumları ile Kalp ve Damar Hastalıkları ile İlişkili Sağlık İnançları ölçeği, duyarlılık alt boyutu, yarar alt boyutu ve engel alt boyutu arasında anlamlı fark saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Bireylerin kardiyovasküler hastalıklara ilişkin inançları ile fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri arasında pozitif yönde çok zayıf düzeyde (r=0,121 p=0,01) ilişki vardır. Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin kalp ve damar hastalıkları ile ilişkili sağlık inançları puanlarının orta düzeyde olduğu ve fiziksel aktivite skorlarının inaktif seviyede olduğu saptanmıştır. Bireylerin kardiyovasküler hastalıklara ilişkin inançları ile fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri arasında ilişki bulunmuştur.
