Abstract

Objectives: Our aim is to reflect routines, awareness, and consciousness level of urologists about usage of go- nadal shield (GS) in Turkey. Materials and methods: Because of this objective a questionnaire which includes 15 questions was prepared. The questionnaire was delivered to urologists in a Turkish Urology congress. Data derived from 271 urologists by face to face interview were evaluated. Results: Participant were urologists (n=271), consisted of professors (n=33), associate professors (n= 36), assis- tant professors (n= 36), specialists (n=94), and residents (n=81). According to the data obtained from the question- naires, 22% of the participants acquired their first infor- mation about GS as a medical student, 44% during their residency training, and 14% of them had no information about GS at all. Besides 64% of them did not read any medical article about this subject until that time, and 54% them practically hadn’t seen any GS during their urology practice. In 82% of the hospitals where participants were working hadn’t had any GS, and 18% of the urologists had indicated that GS was available in their hospitals, and they used them once in a while. Urologists responded fa- vorably (20%) or unfavorably (80 %) to the question of ‘Do you find yourself or your colleagues adequately sensitive, and mindful about GS use? Conclusions: Sensitivity and awareness about use of gonadal shields among Turkish urologists are not at a desired level and for this reason, it is not used widely. The urologists should be informed in urological academic platforms about gonad protecting devices.

Özet

Amaç: Amacımız Türkiye’de gonad kalkanı kullanma konusunda ürologların dikkat, farkındalık ve hassasiyet düzeylerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu amaçla 15 sorudan oluşan bir anket formu hazırlandı. Bu formlar bir ulusal üroloji kongresine katılan ürologlara dağıtıldı. Toplam 271 katılımcıdan yüz yüze görüşme sonucu elde edilen veriler incelendi. Bulgular: 271 katılımcıdan 33’ü profesör, 36’sı doçent, 36’sı yardımcı doçent, 94’ü uzman ve 81’i asistan idi. Katılımcıların %22’si bu konuda daha önce gonad kalkanı hakkında, bilgi sahibi değildi. %44’ü tıp fakültesinde, %14’ü asistanlık döneminde ilk kez bilgi sahibi olmuştu. %64 katılımcı gonad kalkanı konusunda hiçbir makale okumamıştı. %54’ü ise daha önce hiçbir gonad kalkanı modeli görmemişti. %82’si hastanelerinde böyle bir aparatın olmadığını veya kullanmadıklarını belirtti. %18’i ise gonad kalkanı kullandıklarını belirtti. Ürologların %80’i ‘’kendinizi ve meslektaşlarınızı gonad kalkanı kullanma konusunda yeterince dikkatli ve hassas buluyor musunuz? ‘’ sorusuna hayır cevabını verdi. Sonuç: Türkiye’deki ürologlar arasında gonad kalka- nı kullanma konusunda farkındalık ve hassasiyet yeterli düzeyde değildir ve bu yüzden kullanımı yaygın değildir. Ürologlar gonad koruyucu araçlar hakkında ürolojik akademik platformlar tarafından bilgilendirilmelidir.
