Özet:

 This study aims to assess the knowledge levels regarding pressure ulcers among family medicine residents undergoing specialty training in Izmir. This study is a cross-sectional study. 216 family medicine residents who received specialization training at Izmir Katip Çelebi University IKÇÜ, Dokuz Eylül UniversityDEU, Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital and Tepecik Training and Research Hospital were included in our study after giving their permission to participate. The participants were administered a sociodemographic data survey prepared by the researchers after reviewing the relevant literature and the Pressure Ulcer Prevention Knowledge Assessment Survey. Data were evaluated using the SPSS 22 Statistical Package for the Social Sciences package program. The mean age of the participants was 30.125.81 years, the median number of years spent in the profession was 4 years, and the median time spent in residency months was 17 months. When evaluated statistically, the scores of the Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire on Pressure Ulcer Prevention KAPQ were found to be significantly higher in physicians who used a source for pressure ulcers 38.9, n81, received training on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pressure ulcers 37.5, n81, worked in a home health unit during their residency 53.7, n116, encountered pressure ulcers frequently 25.9, n56, and used a scale for the assessment of pressure ulcers 31.5, n68. The aim of family medicine specialization training is to train physicians who can provide primary health care services through theoretical and practical training. Pressure ulcers are one of the most common diagnoses encountered during mandatory and elective clinical rotations. Our study shows that family medicine assistants awareness and knowledge about pressure ulcer, which is a preventable health problem, are not at a sufficient level. In this context, necessary arrangements should be made in educational curricula and applied training programs.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, İzmirde uzmanlık eğitimi alan aile hekimliği asistanları arasında basınç ülseri hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerini değerlendirmektir. Bu çalışma kesitsel bir çalışmadır. İzmir Katip Çelebi Üniversitesi IKÇÜ, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi DEÜ, İzmir Bozyaka Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi ve Tepecik Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde uzmanlık eğitimi alan 216 aile hekimliği asistanı, katılım izinleri alınarak çalışmamıza dahil edildi. Katılımcılara, ilgili literatür tarandıktan sonra araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan sosyodemografik veri anketi ve Basınç Ülseri Önleme Bilgi Değerlendirme Anketi uygulandı. Veriler SPSS 22 Sosyal Bilimler için İstatistik Paketi paket programı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 30,125,81 yıl, meslekte geçirilen yıl ortancası 4 yıl, asistanlıkta geçirilen süre ortancası ay 17 ay olarak bulundu. İstatistiksel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, basınç ülseri için kaynak kullanan 38,9, n81, basınç ülserlerinin tanısı, tedavisi ve önlenmesi konusunda eğitim alan 37,5, n81, asistanlığı sırasında evde sağlık biriminde çalışan 53,7, n116, basınç ülserleriyle sık karşılaşan 25,9, n56 ve basınç ülserlerini değerlendirmek için ölçek kullanan 31,5, n68 hekimlerde Basınç Ülseri Önleme Bilgi Değerlendirme Anketi KAPQ puanları anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulundu. Aile hekimliği uzmanlık eğitiminin amacı, teorik ve pratik eğitim yoluyla birincil sağlık hizmeti sunabilen hekimler yetiştirmektir. Basınçülseri, zorunlu ve elektif klinik rotasyonlar sırasında karşılaşılan en yaygın tanılardan biridir. Çalışmamız, aile hekimliği asistanlarının önlenebilir bir sağlık sorunu olan basınç ülseri konusunda farkındalık ve bilgilerinin yeterli düzeyde olmadığını göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, eğitim müfredatlarında ve uygulamalı eğitim programlarında gerekli düzenlemeler yapılmalıdır.
