Abstract

Aim: The study was carried out descriptive-analytically to examine the knowledge and awareness of metabolic syndrome of chronic patients. Material and Methods: In this study, a cross-sectional survey model was used. The data was collected through snowball sampling between November 14, 2023, and January 12, 2024, using the ‘Patient Introduction Form’ and ‘Metabolic Syndrome Knowledge and Awareness Scale’ (MSKAS). Mean, standard deviation, min-max values, number and percentage were used for descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics, Independent samples t test, One-Way ANOVA test were used to analyse the data. Results: Of the patients, 31.7% were between 50-79 years of age, 66.0% were female, 38.3% had a university degree or higher, 53.1% were married and 66.0% lived in the city centre. It was determined that 26.1% of the participants had hypertension, 21.5% had diabetes, and 17.5% had respiratory disease. It was also found that 35.6% of the participants had a disease duration of 1-5 years, 61.1% regularly used medication, and 58.4% did not follow their diets. The mean MSKAS score of the patients was 49.38±10.67 (min=14 and max=70). A significant difference was found between age, educational status, employment status, disease duration, regular medication use and dietary adherence and mean total score of the MSKAS (p<0.05). Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome knowledge and awareness of individuals with chronic diseases were found to be above average. Since lifestyle changes are an effective strategy to reduce the incidence of MetS, increasing the level of knowledge and awareness of chronic patients may help to improve their lifestyles.

Özet

Amaç: Araştırma kronik hastaların metabolik sendrom bilgi ve farkındalıklarının incelenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma kesitsel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın verileri 14 Kasım 2023- 12 Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında ‘Hasta Tanıtım Formu’ ve ‘Metabolik Sendrom Bilgi ve Farkındalık Ölçeği’ (MSBFÖ) kullanılarak kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle toplandı. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler için ortalama, standart sapma, min-maks değerler, sayı ve yüzde kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Independent samples t test, One-Way ANOVA testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların %31,7’si 50-79 yaş arası, %66,0’sı kadın, %38,3’ü üniversite ve üzeri mezunu, %53,1’i evli ve %66,0’sı şehir merkezinde yaşamaktadır. Katılımcıların %26,1’inin hipertansiyon, %21,5’inin diyabetes mellitus, %17,5’inin solunum hastalığının olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca katılımcıların %35,6’sının hastalık süresinin 1-5 yıl arasında olduğu, %61,1’inin düzenli olarak ilaç kullandığı ve %58,4’ünün diyetine uymadığı bulundu. Hastaların MSBFÖ puan ortalaması 49,38±10,67 (min=14 ve max=70) olduğu saptandı. Hastaların yaş, eğitim durumu, çalışma durumu, hastalık süresi, düzenli ilaç kullanma ve diyetine uyma durumu ile MSBFÖ toplam puan ortalaması arasında anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak kronik hastalığa sahip bireylerin metabolik sendrom bilgi ve farkındalıklarının orta düzeyin üzerinde olduğu tespit edildi. Yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri MetS insidansını azaltmak için etkili bir strateji olduğundan, kronik hastalarda bilgi düzeylerinin ve farkındalıklarının artırılması, yaşam tarzlarının iyileştirilmesine yardımcı olabilir.
