Abstract

AIM: In this study, it was aimed to research by means of qualitative research methods the contact of individuals living in the region with mice and wild animals during the examination of Hantavirus epidemic to produce. METHOD: In the interviews, the contact of participants with mice and wild animals, their opinions about the climate change and their symptom history pertaining to Hantavirus infections in themselves or relatives were discussed. RESULTS: The participants stated that they didn’t see any mouse or mouse excretion, however that they encountered such cases in areas such as woodbin, roof, terrace, forest, etc. all interviews, the increase in the number of wild boars and jackals was especially stated. In all interviews, it was stated that this year was more rainy and warmer compared to previous years. CONCLUSION: The findings of the study give the impression that the participant group is under the risk of Hantavirus infection.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu araştırmada, Hantavirüs salgın incelemesi sırasında yörede yaşayan kişilerin fare ve yabani hayvanlarla temasını niteliksel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılarak araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM: Görüşmelerde katılımcıların fare ve yabani hayvanlarla teması, iklim değişikliği konusundaki görüşleri, kendisi ve yakın çevresinde Hantavirüs enfeksiyonlarına ait semptom öyküsü bulunma durumu tartışılmıştır. BULGULAR: Katılımcılar evlerinde fare ya da fare dışkısı görmediklerini, ancak evin dışındaki odunluk, çatı, teras ve ormanlık gibi alanlarda sıklıkla karşılaştıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Bütün görüşmelerde özellikle domuz ve çakal sayısındaki artış ifade edilmiştir. Görüşmelerin tamamında bu yılın önceki yıllara nazaran daha fazla yağmurlu ve daha ılık olduğu belirtilmiştir. SONUÇ: Çalışma bulguları katılımcı grubunun Hantavirüs enfeksiyonu açısından risk altında olduğunu düşündürmektedir.
