Abstract

Objective: Fertility preservation stands before us as an issue of quality of life for cancer patients and their partners and families. Therefore, the object of the present study was to determine the extent of the knowledge that hematologists have about fertility preservation and to understand their attitudes and practices regarding this matter.
 Materials and Methods: A total of 25 hematologists participated in a survey. The questionnaire included questions on sociodemographic characteristics and awareness concerning the subject of fertility preservation, as well as questions designed to determine the extent of the knowledge that hematologists had on the subject and to understand their attitudes and practices in this context. Results: Of the participants in the study, all expressed their awareness of the adverse effects that the various treatments they were prescribing could have on fertility; 2 (8%) revealed that they had never heard of the concept of fertility preservation. Of the participants, 19 (76%) indicated that they did not have adequate knowledge about fertility preservation, but 22 (88%) fortunately expressed a need for acquiring more knowledge about the subject. Of the respondents, 23 (92%) said that they did not have any brochures or published resources on this subject and stated their belief that if hematologists did have such documents, they would have more opportunity to discuss the various fertility preservation options with patients. All of the participants in the survey supported the idea of the Turkish Society of Hematology publishing a guidebook on this subject and organizing a session on fertility preservation in their regular congress. Conclusion: Meeting the needs of hematologists for training and knowledge in the subject of fertility preservation and ensuring the development of appropriate attitudes and practices in this area is an important issue. The Turkish Society of Hematology may play a significant key role.

Özet

Amaç: Fertility prezervasyonu önemli bir hayat kalitesi konusu olarak kanserli hastalar, partnerleri ve aileleri için karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada hematologların fertilite prezervasyonu konusunda ne ölçüde bilgi sahibi olduklarını belirlemek, ve hematologların bu konuda tutum ve davranışlarını anlamak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ankete toplam 25 hematolog katıldı. Anket katılımcıların sosyodemografik özellikleri, fertilite prezervasyonu konusunda farkındalıkları kadar hematologların bu konuda bilgilerinin seviyesini belirlemek ve bu bağlamda tutum ve davranışlarını anlamak için sorular içerdi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların tamamı reçete ettikleri çeşitli tedavilerin fertilite üzerine olumsuz etkileri olabileceği konusunda farkındalıkları olduğunu belirtti; iki katılımcı (%8) ise fertilite prezervasyonu kavramını hiç duymadığını ifade etti. Katılımcıların 19’u (%76) fertilite prezervasyonu konusunda yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığını ifade etti ve şanslı olarak katılımcıların 22’si (%88) fertilite prezervasyonu konusunda daha fazla bilgi almak ihtiyacı olduğunu ifade etti. Katılımcıların 23’ü (%92) ellerinde bu konuda broşür veya basılı kaynak olmadığını ifade etti ve hematologların böyle dökümanları bulunması halinde çeşitli fertilite prezervasyon seçeneklerini tartışmak için daha fazla fırsatları olacağını belirttiler. Katılımcıların tamamı Türk Hematoloji Derneğinin bu konuda bir klavuz basması fikrini desteklediklerini ve düzenli kongrelerinde fertilite prezervasyonu konusunda bir oturum olmasını desteklediklerini belirtti. Sonuç: Hematologların fertilite prezervasyonu konusunda eğitim ve bilgi ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması ve bu konuda uygun tutum ve davranışlarının geliştirilmesinin sağlanması önemli bir husustur. Bu konuda Türk Hematoloji Derneği önemli ve kilit bir rol oynayabilir.
