Abstract

Triage is defined as the rapid selection and coding process, prioritization, which is performed at the scene and in the health institution where they are transported, in order to determine the priority treatment and those who need to be transported in the case of a large number of patients and injured. It is the golden application required to provide faster and higher quality health care services in emergency services. While this application focuses on using the resources of the health institution efficiently at the right place and at the right time, it also prevents the waiting intensity in the emergency services and helps to reduce the morbidity and mortality rate. There are five and three levels of triage at the international and national level. Health professionals who practice triage are also diverse, and physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians and health officers can practice triage. This diversity is reflected in triage application success rates. This article was written to examine the triage attitudes of healthcare professionals working in emergency departments. The triage duties of health professionals working in the emergency department should be specified in detail in the regulation. Paying attention to the application of triage in undergraduate education, adding triage training to the content of First Aid and Emergency Care course, regularly informing health professionals about the innovations in triage in their inservice training after graduation will be useful in eliminating the deficiencies and applying triage more successfully.

Özet

Triyaj, çok sayıda hasta ve yaralının bulunduğudurumda, öncelikli tedavi ve nakil edilmesi gerekenlerintespiti amacıyla, olay yerinde ve ulaştırıldıkları sağlıkkuruluşunda yapılan hızlı seçme ve kodlama işlemi,önceliklendirme olarak tanımlanır. Acil servislerde daha hızlıve kaliteli sağlık bakım hizmeti verebilmek için gereken altınuygulamadır. Bu uygulama doğru yerde ve doğru zamanda,sağlık kurumunun kaynaklarını verimli şekilde kullanmayaodaklanırken aynı zamanda acil servislerdeki beklemeyoğunluğunu önler, morbidite ve mortalite oranınınazalmasına yardımcı olur. Uluslararası ve ulusal düzeydebeşli ve üçlü düzeylerde triyaj uygulaması mevcuttur. Triyajıuygulayan sağlık profesyonelleri de çeşitlilik göstermekte,hekim, hemşire, acil tıp teknisyeni ve sağlık memuru triyajuygulaması yapabilmektedir. Bu çeşitlilik triyaj uygulamabaşarı oranlarına da yansımaktadır. Bu makale acilservislerde görev yapan sağlık profesyonellerinin triyajtutumlarını incelemek amacıyla yazılmıştır. Yönetmelikte acilserviste görevli sağlık profesyonellerinin triyaj görevleriayrıntılı olarak belirtilmelidir. Lisans eğitiminde triyajuygulamasının önemsenmesi, İlkyardım ve Acil Bakım dersiiçeriğine triyaj eğitiminin eklenmesi, mezuniyet sonrasıgöreve başlayan sağlık profesyonellerinin hizmet içieğitimlerinde triyajdaki yenilikler hakkında düzenli olarakbilgilendirilmesi, eksikliklerin giderilmesinde ve daha başarılıtriyaj uygulanmasında faydalı olacaktır.
