Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the level of information about COPD and attitudes towards smoking addiction of physicians working in primary health care. Materials and methods: Informational meetings were held on family physicians in the province center about COPD and smoking, questionnaires were applied associated with COPD. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 64 physicians. Majority of physicians faced with smokers of 0-5 in one day. The most common factor in the development of COPD, the necessary diagnostic test for COPD and spirometric measurements mostly used for diagnosis of COPD were answered correctly. At the physicians working unit, 34.4% had only blood counter, 28.1% had just electrocardiogram (ECG), 18.8% had ECG and blood counter, while 18.8% had no tools. None of the family health centers had spirometer. Definition of COPD, the treatment of stable COPD were the most incorrectly answered questions. The question of common comorbidities in COPD was answered as cardiovascular diseases, anxiety, depression, and cancer. Comment: All of the physicians had information about the etiology and diagnostic method of COPD, in contrast the questions about definition and treatment of COPD showed that there was a lack of information. More frequent post graduate seminars on COPD is thought to be able to provide increasing early diagnosis of the disease.

Özet

Amaç: Aile hekimlerinin KOAH hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri ve sigara ba ğ ımlılar ına kar ş ı tutumlarını de ğ erlendirmek amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: İ l merkezimizdeki aile hekimlerine sigara ve KOAH konusunda bilgilendirme toplant ılar ı düzenlendi ve KOAH tanıs ı ile iliş kili bir anket uygulanıp de ğ erlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Anket 64 hekim tarafından tamamlandı. Hekimlerin büyük ço ğ unlu ğ u günde 0-5 aras ında sigara içicisi ile kar ş ıla ş maktaydı. KOAH geliş iminde en s ık etken, KOAH tanıs ı için gerekli tanısal test ve KOAH tanıs ı için kullanılan spirometrik ölçüm sorular ı büyük ço ğ unlukla do ğ ru olarak yanıtlandı. Hekimlerin çalış t ığ ı birimde %34.4’ünde sadece hemogram, %28.1’inde sadece elektrokardiyogram (EKG), %18.8’inde EKG ve hemogram bulunurken %18.8’inde hiçbir alet bulunmuyordu. Spirometri cihaz ı hiçbir aile sa ğ lığ ı merkezinde yoktu. KOAH tanım ı, stabil KOAH tedavisinde hangi ilaçların kullanılmas ı ve kullanılmamas ını içeren sorular en çok yanlış cevaplanan sorular aras ında idi. KOAH olgular ına s ık e ş lik eden hastalıklar sorusuna en s ık kardiyovasküler, anksiyete, depresyon ve kanser yan ıtlar ı verildi. Yorum: Hekimlerin hepsi KOAH’ ın etyolojisi ve tanı yöntemi konusunda bilgi sahibiyken; KOAH tanım ı, kullanılan ilaçlar gibi sorularda bilgi eksikliğ i olduğ u ortaya konmuş tur. KOAH ile ilgili mezuniyet sonras ı e ğ itim toplant ılar ının daha s ık yapılmas ının, hastalığ ın erken tanıs ını koyma oranında art ış sa ğ layaca ğ ı düş ünülmektedir.
