Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine if the patients admitted to cardiology outpatient clinics, had had any recommendations or counselling about cardiac risk factors previously and if they had, whether they had complied with the recommendations. Methods: The study was conducted among adult patients admitted to Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Education and Research Hospital Cardiology Out pa- tient clinics. All patients included in the study completed a face to face questionnaire composed of socio-demographic variables, previous education or counselling about exercise, cigarette cessation, healthy diet, hypertensive, diabetic or cholesterol lowering diet, aspirin use and compliance with these recommendations. Weight and length had been measured by the researchers during outpatient examination. Results: Total 198 patients, 115 women (58.1%) and 83 men (41.9%) were included in the study. The mean age was 54.60±15.65. Although a high percentage of the patients declared that they had had recommendation and counselling about cardiac risk factors at least once; the compliance rate of patients was generally low. Men’s compliance to recommendation of smoking cessation was lower than women and patients with low to moderate health perception complied with this recommendation more than the patients with good health perception. Married patients complied to a hyperten- sion diet more than unmarried ones (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although the patients admitted to cardiology out patient clinic have had recommendations and counselling about cardiovascular risk factors before, their compliance with these recommendations seems low. Some factors such as sex, education and marriage affect the complinace with recommendations about cardiovascular risk factors. Further studies are needed focusing on the reasons for low patient compliance with the recommendations and how compliance could be increased.

Özet

Amaç: Kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvuran hastaların kardiyak risk faktörlerine karşı daha önce eğitim ve danışmanlık alıp almadıklarını ve eğitim ve da- nışmanlık aldı ise önerilere uyup uymadıklarını saptamak. Yöntemler: Bu çalışma Ağustos-Eylül 2011 aylarında Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Kardiyoloji Polikliniği’ne başvuran hastalar arasında gerçekleştirilmiş kesitsel bir anket çalışmasıdır. Anket sosyo-demografik değişkenler ve hastaların egzersiz, genel beslenme danışmanlığı, diyabet ve hipertansiyon diyeti ve kolesterolsüz diyet eğitimi, sigara bırakma danışmanlığı, aspirin gibi koruyucu hekimlikle ilgili danışmanlık alıp almadıklarını ve aldılarsa bu önerilere uyup uymadıklarını içeren sorulardan oluşmuştur. Hastaların boy ve kilo ölçümleri poliklinik ortamında ölçülmüş ve vücut kitle indeksleri hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 115 kadın (%58.1) ve 83 erkek (%41.9) olmak üzere toplam 198 kişi dahil edildi. Yaş ortalaması 54.60±15.65 idi. Genelde yüksek oranda danışmanlık aldıklarını belirtmek ile birlikte uyum oranları düşüktü. Erkeklerin sigara bırakma tavsiyesine ve aspirin kullanma önerisine uyumları kadınlara göre düşüktü. Sağlık algısı orta ve kötü olanlar sigara bırakma önerisine daha fazla uymuştu. İlkokul mezunları beklenenin üzerinde diyabet ve hipertansiyon diyetini uygulamıştı. Evli olanlar hipertansiyon diyet tavsiyesine daha fazla uymuştu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvuran hastalar risk faktörleri ile ilgili yüksek oranda öneri ve danışmanlık alıyor görünmekle beraber, bu önerilere uyum oranları oldukça düşüktür. Cinsiyet, eğitim, medeni durum gibi etmenlerin koruyucu tıp önerilerine uyumu etkilemektedir. Hasta uyumunun neden düşük olduğuna ve uyum oranlarını artırmaya yönelik çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.
