Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı çocuk sağlığının geliştirilmesi
ve desteklenmesinde oldukça önemli bir yere sahip olan sağlam çocuk takibi
konusunda aile hekimlerinin üzerine düşen sorumluluklarına dikkat çekmek,
bilgilerini güncellemeyi sağlamak, sağlam çocuk takibinin önemini ve
gerekliliğini vurgulamaktır.
Materyal ve Metot: Araştırma
gözlemsel, kesitsel bir anket çalışması olarak planlandı. Anket soruları T.C. Sağlık
Bakanlığı tarafından Türkiye için uygulanabilir, güncel bilimsel kanıtlar göz
önüne alınarak hazırlanmış ve tüm aile hekimlerine dağıtılmış “Aile Hekimliği
Uygulamasında Önerilen Periyodik Sağlık Muayeneleri ve Tarama Testleri” adlı
rehberden faydalanarak hazırlandı. Ankara’daki Aile Sağlığı Merkezleri’nde
(ASM) çalışan tüm aile hekimleri çalışmaya elektronik posta yoluyla anket linki
üzerinden 01.12.2016-01.02.2017 tarihleri arasında toplam 4 kez davet edildi.
Araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden aile hekimlerinden anketimizin bilgi
düzeylerini değerlendiren bölümünü eksiksiz dolduran 191’i çalışmaya dâhil edildi.
Çalışmada toplam bilgi düzeyleri; her soruya 1 puan verilerek soruların
puanlandırılması ile hesaplandı. Tüm sorulara doğru cevap verildiğinde toplam
19 puan alınıyordu.
Bulgular: Aile Hekimlerinin ortalama
toplam puanları nispeten düşük bir puan olan 9,73 ± 2,94 olarak hesaplandı.
Bilgi düzey puanları ile ASM’de toplam çalışılan ay arasında anlamlı derecede
pozitif yönde zayıf korelasyon olduğu izlendi. Ayrıca sağlam çocuk takibi ile
ilgili rehberin okunma sıklığı ile toplam bilgi düzey puanları arasında olumlu
yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptandı. Bununla birlikte aile hekimlerinin
sağlam çocuk takibi konusundaki günlük pratik uygulamalarını çoğunlukla
yaptıkları ortaya çıktı. Ancak zorunlu olmayan bazı takiplerdeki uygulamaların
yeteri kadar yapılmadığı görüldü.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma bize sağlıklı
nesiller yetiştirmek adına, birinci basamakta sağlam çocuk izleminin istenilen
düzeylere çıkarılabilmesi için aile hekimlerine eğitimlerin verilmesinin ve
konu hakkındaki rehberlerden yararlandırılmasının uygun olacağını gösterdi.

The Assessment of Knowledge Levels and Practices of Family Physicians Practicing in Family Health Centers in Ankara with Regard to Well Child Follow-up

Year 2018, Volume: 18 Issue: 3, 312 - 321, 28.09.2018

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of our study is to call
attention to responsibilities of family physicians regarding well child follow‐up,
which is very important to improve and support pediatric health, to refresh
family physicians’ knowledge, and to emphasize the significance and vitality of
well child follow-up.

Materials and Methods: The study was planned as an observational
and cross‐sectional survey study. The survey questions were prepared based on
the guideline titled “Periodical Health Examinations and Screening Tests
Recommended in Family Medicine Practice”, which was produced by the Turkish Ministry
of Health and distributed to all family physicians. All family physicians
practicing in Family Health Centers (FHC) located in Ankara were sent 4 e‐mails
containing the link to the survey between December 1st, 2016 and February 2nd,
2017, and invited to participate in the study. Among the family physicians who
agreed to participate in the study, 191 physicians who answered the section
measuring their knowledge levels in full were included in the study. The
overall knowledge level was calculated by scoring each correct answer as 1
point. The maximum score possible was 19 points.

Results: The average total score of family
physicians was found to be 9.73 ± 2.94 which was relatively low. A positive,
weak, and significant correlation was found between knowledge level score and
total months worked in FHC. Also, a positive and significant correlation was
found between frequency of reading the guideline on well child follow‐up and
knowledge level score. Further, it was revealed that family physicians mostly
performed their daily practices related to well child follow‐up. However, it was
seen that some non‐mandatory follow‐up practices were not sufficiently
performed.







Conclusion: This study showed that it was necessary to
provide trainings for family physicians and to encourage them to use guidelines
on the subject in order to ensure well child follow‐up is at the desired level
in primary health care to raise a healthy generation.
