Abstract

Objective: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the health anxiety of patients admitted to the emergency department. Materials and Methods: 364 patients who applied to Atatürk University Health Practice and Research Hospital Emergency Service between October and December 2019 were included in the study. "Patient Information Form" and "Health Anxiety Scale" were used to collect data. Number, mean, percentage distributions, independent groups t test, Kruskal Wallis, Koleration and Cronbach Alpha reliability analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results: The total mean score of the health anxiety scale of the patients included in the study was 19.19 ± 8.64, the mean score of the hypersensitivity to somatic symptoms and the anxiety dimension was 15.09 ± 7.02, and the mean score of the negative consequences dimension of the disease was 4.09 ± 2.72. It was determined that being a woman, age, educational status, regular medication use, recent stressful events, the way of coming to the emergency room, application to the emergency service in the last 6 months, and the reason for admitting to the emergency department increased the level of health anxiety of the patients (p <0.05). Conclusion: It was found that the general health anxiety levels of the patients who applied to the emergency department were low. In line with these results; In order to determine the health anxiety of patients admitted to the emergency department, it is recommended to conduct research in emergency services in different regions and with a larger sample.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma acil servise başvuran hastaların sağlık anksiyetesini belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya Atatürk Üniversitesi Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi Acil Servisine, Ekim-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında başvuran 364 hasta alındı. Verilerin toplanmasında “Hasta Tanıtım Formu” ve “Sağlık Anksiyetesi Ölçeği” kullanıldı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde sayı, ortalama, yüzdelik dağılımlar, bağımsız gruplarda t testi, Kruskal Wallis, Kolerasyon ve Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan hastaların sağlık anksiyetesi ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları 19.19±8.64, bedensel belirtilere aşırı duyarlık ve kaygı boyutu puan ortalamaları 15.09±7.02 ve hastalığın olumsuz sonuçları boyutu puan ortalamaları 4.09±2.72 olarak bulundu. Kadın olmanın, yaşın, eğitim durumunun, düzenli ilaç kullanımının, son zamanlarda stresli bir olay yaşamanın, acil servise geliş şeklinin, son 6 ay içinde acil servise başvuru durumunun ve acil servise başvuru nedeninin hastaların sağlık anksiyetesi düzeyini artırdığı belirlendi (p<0.05). Sonuç: Acil servise başvuran hastaların genel olarak sağlık anksiyetesi düzeylerinin düşük olduğu bulundu. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda; acil servise başvuran hastaların sağlık anksiyetesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla farklı bölgelerdeki acil servislerde ve daha büyük örneklemde araştırma yapılması önerilir.
