Özet
Aile Hekimliği uygulamaları, günümüzde birinci basamak sağlık hizmetlerinin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Meslek hastalıkları önlenebilir olması toplum sağlığı düzeyinde önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada Edirne il merkezinde Aile Sağlığı Merkezlerinde görev alan aile hekimlerin, meslek hastalıkları konusunda bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerini inceleyip meslek hastalıklarına tanı koyma ve hastalarını doğru yönlendirme becerilerini geliştirmenin yollarına katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmamıza toplam 53 aile hekimi katılmıştır. Araştırmamızda veri kaynağı olarak aile hekimlerinin meslek hastalıkları konusunda bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerinin incelemek için tarafımızca hazırlanan anket formu kullanılmıştır. Veriler yüzde, ortanca ve minimummaksimum değerler kullanılarak sunulmuştur. İstatistiksel yöntemler olarak Ki-Kare testleri kullanılmıştır. Tüm analizlerde istatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi <0,05 kabul edilmiştir. Katılımcılar meslek hastalıkları hakkında sadece %66 eğitim aldıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Mezuniyet sonrası meslek hastalıkları alanında eğitim alan katılımcıların %28,3’ü kendilerini yeterli hissettiği belirtmiştir. Meslek hastalıkları konusunda eğitim almış aile hekimlerinin bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerinin eğitim almamış aile hekimlerine göre, istatistiksel olarak fark saptanmamış olsa da, sayı olarak anlamlı düzeyde fark saptanmıştır. Aile hekimlerine, meslek hastalıkları konularında alınacak önlemler, erken tanı, tedavi ve ilgili hukuki bilgileri hakkında eğitimlerin verilmesi, meslek hastalıkları alanında daha yetkin olmalarını sağlayıp ülkemizi daha ileri taşıyabilir.
Today, Family Medicine practices constitute the basis of primary health care services. Prevention of occupational diseases is important at the level of public health. The aim of this study has been to examine the knowledge and awareness levels of family physicians who work in Family Health Centers in Edirne city center. The study has for purpose to contribute to the improvement of family physicians’ work in diagnosing occupational diseases and in giving their patients accurate and clear guidance. The number of the family physicians who took part in the study is 53. To measure the family physicians’ knowledge about and awareness of occupational diseases, a questionnaire thoroughly prepared by us for this purpose has been used. The presented data is in percentages, median and minimum-maximum values. Furthermore, Chi-square tests have been used as statistical methods. The accepted statistical significance level in the analysis has been <0.05. According to the data taken from the participating in the study physicians, 66% of them received training on occupational diseases; and only 28.3% of the participants, who received training in the field of occupational diseases after graduation, have declared to feel sufficiently competent. Although statistically the family physicians who received training in occupational diseases do not differ much in practice from the ones without training, the difference between the physicians with training and the ones without in numbers is significant. Offering and providing family physicians training on the measures that need to be taken in occupational diseases as well as on early diagnosis, treatment and relevant legal information, will not only contribute to the family physicians’ enhanced competence, but also will contribute to the overall national development in the respective medical field.
