Özet

Bulaşıcı hastalık, özel bir enfeksiyöz etkenin ya da onun toksik ürünlerinin, bir kaynaktan duyarlı kişiye doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak geçmesiyle oluşan, toplumsal bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu araştırma, Bingöl il merkezinde yaşayan bireylerin, bulaşıcı hastalıklar konusundaki bilgi ve görüşlerini tespit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipte olan çalışmanın evrenini Bingöl İlinde yaşayan 18 yaş ve üstü bireyler oluşturmuştur. Araştırma 638 kişi ile tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmada, yaş, eğitim düzeyi ve meslek değişkenlerinin bilgi, tutum ve görüşle ilgili olarak ele alınan durumlar açısından fark oluşturduğu görülmüştür (p<0.05). Bulaşıcı hastalıklarla mücadelede, aile hekimlerinden hastalara, aile sağlığı merkezlerinden toplum sağlığı merkezlerine, birinci basamaktan laboratuvarlara, şehirlerden ülkelere, kısaca sistemin birlikte hareket eden tüm parçalarına sorumluluk düşmektedir.
