Abstract

Objective: To reveal the demographic, etiologic, psychosocial factors in the hemorrhoidal disease and the effectsof delay in application.Material and Methods: We interviewed 100 patientsranging in age from 18 to 76 diagnosed with hemorrhoidal disease in the General Surgery Outpatient Clinics atthe Ministry of Health Ankara Training and Research Hospital.Results: Overall, 48% of the patients were men, 52% werewomen. Additionally, 38% of the patients were admittedto the clinic within 7 days of experiencing the first symptoms, while 62%were admitted with a delay for severalreasons. The application was delayed for 4% of the patients who did not have health insurance. The grades ofhemorrhoidal disease were decreasing as the educationlevels were increasing (p=0,033). A statistically significantrelationship was found between delay in application andeducation levels (p=0, 05). The period between the firstcomplaints and the application were longer for patientssuffering from bleeding, pain, and itching compared tothose without these symptoms. We found no significantdifference in delayed application between the patientswho were and were not ashamed to see a doctor of theopposite sex.Conclusion: An anorectal disease history in the family,the occupations, pregnancy, and obesity were found effective in the etiology of the hemorrhoidal disease. Thegrades of hemorrhoidal disease and the ratio of delay inapplication was low among the more educated patients.The lack of health insurance caused delays in application.The application of patients who complained of pain, bleeding, and itching was delayed.

Özet

Amaç: Hemoroidal hastalıkta demografik, etiyolojik, psikososyal faktörlerin irdelenmesi ve başvuru gecikmesine olan etkilerinin araştırılması.Gereç ve Yöntem: Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Genel Cerrahi polikliniğinde hemoroidal hastalık tanısı konulan 100 hasta ile görüşme yapılarak bir anket formu dolduruldu.Bulgular: Çalışma grubu yaşları 18 ile 76 arasında deği- şen 100 hastayı kapsamaktaydı. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların %48’i erkek, %52’si kadın idi. Hastalarımızın %38’i ilk semptomu hissettiğinde 7 gün içerisinde polikliniğe başvurmuş, %62’si ise çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı başvuruda gecikmişlerdi. Hastaların %4’ünün sağlık güvencesi yoktu, Bu hastaların hepsi başvuruda gecikmişti. Hastaların eğitim düzeyleri yükseldikçe hemoroidlerin evresi düşüyordu (p=0,033). Hekime başvurmada gecikme ile eğitim düzeyleri arasında negatif bir anlamlı ilişki bulundu (p=0,05). Kanama, ağrı ve kaşıntı şikâyeti olan hastaların ilk şikâyetleri ile başvuru tarihleri arasındaki süre bu semptomları olmayanlara göre daha uzundu. Karşı cinsiyetteki hekimlerden çekinen hastalar ile çekinmeyenler arasında başvuruda gecikme bakımından önemli bir farklılık yoktu.Sonuç: Ailede anorektal hastalık öyküsü, meslekler, ayrı- ca gebelik ve obezite hemoroidal hastalık etiyolojisinde etkili bulundu. Eğitim düzeyi yüksek olan hastalarda baş- vuruda gecikme oranı ve hemoroidlerin evresi daha dü- şüktü. Sağlık güvencesi bulunmaması başvuruda gecikmeye neden olmaktaydı. Ağrı, kanama ve kaşıntı şikâyeti olan hastalar başvuruda gecikmişlerdi.
