Abstract

Aim: It has been shown by a great number of studies that the correct use of adrenaline auto injectors prescribed to patients with anaphylaxis is associated with the design of the auto injector, in addition to training. The aim of this study was to compare the skills of adults in using two different auto injectors prescribed to patients with anaphylaxis. Material and Methods: Parents of patients aged between 1 and 18 years who referred to allergy outpatients were included in the study. Results: A total of 630 volunteers from nine centers were included in the study. Four hundred fifty-seven (72.5%) of the participants were females and 235 (37.3%) were undergraduates. The rate of showing all the steps of auto injector trainers correctly by the participants was found as (60.2%) (n=379) for EpiPen and 42.9% (n=270) for Penepin (p

Özet

Amaç: Çok sayıda çalışma, anafilaksisi olan hastalara reçete edilen adrenalin oto enjektörlerinin doğru kullanımının, eğitime ek olarak otoenjektörün tasarımı ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışmanınamacı, anafilaksisi olan hastalara reçete edilen iki farklı oto enjektörünkullanımı ile ilgili olarak erişkinlerin becerilerini karşılaştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Alerji Polikliniği’ne sevk edilen 1 ile 18 yaş arasındaki hastaların ebeveynleri çalışmaya alındı.Bulgular: Dokuz merkezden toplam 630 gönüllü çalışmaya alındı.Katılımcıların 457’si (%72,5) kadın ve 235’i (%37,3) üniversite öğrencisi idi. Katılımcılar tarafından oto enjektör numune uygulamabasamaklarının hepsinin doğru bir şekilde gösterilme oranı, EpiPeniçin %60,2 (n=379) ve Penepin için %42,9 (n=270) olarak saptandı(p
