GİRİŞ VE AMAÇ
Türkiye’de Performans Programı kapsamında Aile Sağlığı Merkez’lerinde (ASM) toplumun ihtiyaçlarına daha fazla cevap verebilmek amacıyla fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon hizmeti sunması için ilk adım atılmıştır. Çalışmamızın amacı fizyoterapistlerin istihdamı durumunda ASM’lerde karşılaşacakları hastaların genel profili, fizyoterapi gereksinimleri ve fizyoterapiye yönelik fiziki koşulların değerlendirilmesidir.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM
Marmara Üniversitesi Sağlık Hizmet Politikaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi bünyesinde Haziran 2017–Ekim 2018 tarihleri arasında İstanbul ilinde 35 ilçede 437 Aile Sağlığı Merkezi’nde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmacılar tarafından literatür taraması ve uzman görüşleri alınarak oluşturulan bir soru formu kullanıldı.
BULGULAR
Çalışmaya katılan hekimlerin %69 ve hemşirelerin %8’inin egzersiz önerisinde bulunduğu saptandı. Hekimlerin ayrıca %23’ünün egzersiz önerisi için broşür verdiği belirlendi. Katılımcılardan 632 hekim (%89) takip ettiği hastasını sağlıklı yaşam için fiziksel aktiviteye yönlendirdiğini bildirdi.
