Öz

Giriş: Giysi insanların birbirini etkilemesinde önemli bir işleve sahiptir. Hekimlerin beyaz önlük giymelerinin hastalarını nasıl etkilediği ülkemizde pek araştırılmamış bir konudur. Bu araştırmamızda, Aydın İli'ndeki hasta ve yakınlarının hekimlerin beyaz önlük giymesi konusundaki tutum ve davranışlarını ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Aydın İli'nde merkez ve çevre yerleşim birimlerindeki hastanelerle eczanelere gelen 443 kişiye tabakalanmış rastlantısal yöntemle ulaşıldı. Kendilerinden araştırmamızla ilgili tarafımızdan hazırlanmış bir sormaca belgesini doldurup imzalamaları istendi. İsim yazma zorunlu tutulmadı. Bulgular: Ulaşılan herkes araştırmaya katıldı. Bu 443 kişi 15-87 yaş arası, yaş ortalaması 37,27±13,17 olan, 250 bayan (%56,4) ve 193 erkekten (%43,6) oluşmuştur. Katılımcıların %67,1'i hekimlerinin beyaz önlük giymesinin ilişkilerini etkilemediğini söylerken %49,2'si hekimin beyaz önlük giymesinin bir şey farkettirmeyeceğini bildirdi. Buna rağmen “Doktorunuz beyaz önlük giymeli mi?” sorusuna, katılımcıların %65,4'ü giymeli diye yanıt verirken %25.0 farketmez ve %9,6'sının giymemeli diye yanıt verdiği görüldü. Bu konularda cinsler arasında bir düşünce farkı saptanmazken eğitim-öğretim düzeyi arttıkça beyaz önlükten etkilenirliğin arttığı gözlendi. Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız ve tıbbi yazıncadaki diğer bulgular uyarınca klinisyenlerin beyaz önlük giymelerinin etkileri konusunda daha ileri araştırmaların yapılması gerektiği kanısındayız. .
