Konya İli İçerisindeki Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Merkezlerine Başvuran Hastaların Dağılımının Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri ile Analizi

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 59 - 63, 31.10.2020

Abstract

Amaç: Coğrafi bilgi sistemleri (CBS), çevre ile bireylerin ilişkilerini inceler ve belirli bir hastalıktan etkilenen hastaların mekânsal dağılımının anlaşılması için ayrıntılı bilgi elde edilmesini sağlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı ağız ve diş sağlığı hizmeti sağlayan kamu kuruluşlarına gelen hastaların dağılımını ve hastalara uygulanan tedavileri, CBS kullanarak analiz etmek ve görselleştirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 2012-2016 yılları arasında Konya İli sınırları içerisinde ağız ve diş sağlığı hizmeti veren kamu kuruluşlarına başvuran tüm hastalara uygulanan tedaviler ile bu hastanelerdeki hekim sayıları gibi verileri içeren bilgiler Konya İli Kamu Hastaneleri Kurumu’ndan elde edildi. Elde edilen tedavi bilgileri ortodonti bölümü hariç tüm bölümler için sınıflandırıldı. Verilerin yıllar içerisindeki değişimi oransal olarak karşılaştırıldı ve CBS kullanılarak görselleştirildi.
Bulgular: Farklı bölümler halinde değerlendirilen tedaviler incelendiğinde yıllar içerisinde periodontoloji hariç tüm bölümlerdeki tedavi sayılarında artış izlenmektedir. Tedavilere ait verilerin coğrafik dağılımı incelendiğinde, nüfusun fazla olduğu merkez bölgelerde uygulanan tedavilerin yoğunluğunun da arttığı gözlenmektedir.
Sonuçlar: Tedavi yoğunluklarının; hastaların dağılımı, sağlık kuruluşuna olan yakınlık ve erişilebilirlik gibi faktörlerden önemli ölçüde etkilendiği düşünülmektedir. Yıllar içinde restoratif ve koruyucu tedavilerin toplam tedaviler içindeki oranının artmış olması, dişlerin çekimi yerine tedavi edilmesi eğiliminin arttığını gösteren bir parametre olarak yorumlanabilir. Bunun yanında periodontal tedavi oranının azalma nedenlerinin tespit edilebilmesi için daha ayrıntılı verilere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. CBS bu konuda ihtiyaçların tespit edilmesinde kullanılabilecek faydalı bir araçtır.

Geographic Information System Analysis on the Distribution of Patients visiting Public Dental Services in Konya City

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 59 - 63, 31.10.2020

Abstract

Purpose: Geographic information systems (GIS) analyze the relationship between environment and individuals, and provide detailed information to understand spatial distribution of patients affected by specific diseases. The purpose of this study is to analyze and visualize distribution of patients applying to public institutions providing oral and dental health care as well as dental treatments through GIS.
Materials and Methods: Information on the treatment of all patients who applied to public oral and dental health care institutions in Konya between 2012 and 2016 and the number of dentists in these hospitals were obtained from the Provincial Office of Public Hospitals Administration of Turkey. The treatment data was classified for all departments except for the orthodontics. Changes in the data in years were proportionally compared and visualized through GIS.
Results: When the treatments are analyzed, an increase in the number of treatments is observed in years for all departments but periodontology. As for the geographical distribution of treatment data, more treatments were applied in the central areas with a high population density.
Conclusions: It is considered that the volume of treatment is substantially affected by factors such as the distribution of patients and proximity and accessibility to the institution. The larger share of restorative and preventive treatments within the total over the years can be interpreted as a parameter reflecting the tendency to prefer treatment rather than extraction. However, further detailed data is needed to identify the reasons for the decrease in periodontal treatment rates. GIS is a useful tool that can be used to identify needs in this regard.
