Özet:

 Objective: Pain assessment of individuals with acute or chronic pain while creating a physiotherapy program is of great importance in demonstrating the effectiveness of the treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the pain assessment preferences of healthcare providers. Material and Method: We tried to reach different healthcare providers who are dealing with patients suffering from pain, living and working in Turkey via a Google survey. Healthcare providers aged 18-60 with at least one year of work experience in their field were included. In the questionnaire, age, gender, profession, working time in the profession, institution, acutechronic patient follow-up, pain severity assessment scale preference, and pain localization assessment preference were questioned. Results: A total of 159 healthcare providers 114 females and 45 males participated in this survey and replied to the questionnaire. 54.7 of them reported that they preferred the Visual Analogue Scale VAS, and 11.9 of them preferred the Verbal Rating Scale VRS to evaluate pain intensity. The participants preferred verbal feedback and palpation to determine pain localization. Conclusion: In this survey was conducted in Turkey, health providers preferences were found to be similar to the related literature. The results obtained from this survey also indicate that health providers working in Turkey mostly prefer VAS in pain intensity assessment.

 Amaç: Akut ya da kronik ağrısı olan bireylerde tedavi fizyoterapi programı oluştururken ağrı değerlendirmesi tedavinin etkinliğini göstermede büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık hizmeti sunucularının ağrı değerlendirme tercihlerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Google anketi ile Türkiyede yaşayan ve çalışan ağrılı hastalarla ilgilenen farklı sağlık kuruluşlarına ulaşıldı. Kendi alanlarında en az bir yıllık iş tecrübesine sahip sağlık hizmeti sunucuları 18-60 yaş arası dahil edildi. Ankette yaş, cinsiyet, meslek, meslekte çalışma süresi, kurum, akutkronik hasta takibi, ağrı şiddeti değerlendirme skalası tercihi ve ağrı lokalizasyon değerlendirme tercihi sorgulandı. Bulgular: Bu ankete toplam 159 114 kadın ve 45 erkek sağlık çalışanı katılmış ve anketi yanıtlamıştır. Ağrı şiddetini değerlendirmek için 54.7si Görsel Analog Skala GAS ve 11.9u Sözel Derecelendirme Ölçeğini SDÖ tercih ettiğini belirtmişlerdir. Katılımcılar ağrı lokalizasyonunu belirlemek için sözlü geri bildirim ve palpasyonu tercih ettiler. Sonuç: Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, sağlık hizmeti sunucularının tercihlerinin ilgili literatür ile benzer olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca Türkiyede çalışan sağlıklı hekimler en çok ağrı şiddeti değerlendirmesini tercih etmektedirler.
