Özet:

 Aim: The study aimed to determine the self-management levels and related factors of patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Material and Method: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 126 multiple sclerosis patients who were selected by simple random sampling method and met the sample selection criteria. Participant Introduction Form, which includes the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, and Multiple Sclerosis Self-Management Scale - Turkish Version were used to collect data. Descriptive statistical methods, independent groups t test and One Way Anova test were used to evaluate the data. Bonferroni test was applied for post-hoc analyses. Results: In the study, the average age of the patients was 41.86  5.17 years and the average duration of diagnosis was 4.47  3.11 years; It was determined that 64.3 were women, 73.8 were married and 43.7 were high school graduates. The patients Multiple Sclerosis Self-Management Scale total scores were 76.48  17.65; it was found that variables such as age, gender, educational status and presence of comorbidities created a statistically significant difference in self-management scores p0.05. Conclusion: As a result, it was determined that the participants had a moderate level of self-management. Accordingly, it is thought that it would be beneficial to conduct more studies to determine the self-management level of multiple sclerosis patients in our country, to prepare and implement self-management programs that will increase the self-management level of patients, and to inform healthcare professionals about strategies that will positively affect the self-management levels of patients.

 Amaç: Araştırmada, multipl skleroz tanısı olan hastaların öz yönetim düzeyleri ve ilişkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırmanın örneklemini, basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen ve örneklem seçim kriterlerine uyan 126 multipl skleroz hastası oluşturmuştur. Veriler, katılımcıların sosyodemografik özelliklerini içeren Katılımcı Tanıtım Formu ve Multipl Skleroz Öz Yönetim Ölçeği  Türkçe Versiyonu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler, bağımsız gruplarda t testi ve One Way Anova testi kullanılmıştır. Post-hoc analizler için Bonferroni testi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada, hastaların yaş ortalamalarının 41.86  5.17 yıl ve tanı süreleri ortalamalarının 4.47  3.11 yıl olduğu; 64.3ünün kadın, 73.8inin evli ve 43.7sinin ise lise mezunu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hastaların Multipl Skleroz Öz Yönetim Ölçeği toplam puanlarının 76.48  17.65 olduğu; yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu ve ek hastalık varlığı gibi değişkenlerin öz yönetim puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yarattığı bulunmuştur p0.05. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, katılımcıların orta derecede öz yönetim düzeyine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Buna göre; ülkemizdeki multipl skleroz hastalarında öz yönetim düzeyini belirleyecek daha fazla sayıda çalışma yapılmasının, hastaların öz yönetim düzeyini arttıracak öz yönetim programları hazırlanarak uygulamaya geçirilmesinin ve sağlık profesyonellerinin hastaların öz yönetim düzeylerini olumlu yönde etkileyecek stratejiler konusunda bilgilendirilmesinin yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
