Özet:

 Aim: This descriptive research was conducted to determine the illness perception and asthma management levels of asthma patients. Method: The study was performed to the 211 asthmatic individuals applied to the Chest Diseases Clinic at a training and research hospital in December 2020-April 2021. A patient information form, The Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire and an asthma management checklist prepared by the researchers. were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed via SPSS 20.0 program. An ethical approval from the related University Ethics Committee, a written permission from the related hospital administration, oral and written informed consent from the participants were gathered to conduct the research. Results: The mean age of the patients was 45.1514.56, and the average year of asthma diagnosis was 7.737.56. According to the statements of the patients, asthma control levels were found to be low. A positive correlation was found between age and disease perception scale sub-dimensions, results, emotional representations and risk factors, and negative correlations were found between personal control and treatment control sub-dimensions. There was a negative difference between the age of the patients and limitation in daily activities due to asthma, and a positive difference between the use of rescue medication. Conclusion: the total and sub-dimension mean scores of the illness perception of the patients participated in the study were found to be high, and their asthma management levels were low. It is recommended to evaluate the illness perceptions of the asthma patients during the follow-up and treatment processes and to take anamnesis considering their sociocultural characteristics in order to increase the asthma management levels of the patients.

 Amaç: Bu tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırma, astımlı bireylerin hastalık algısı ve astım yönetim düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma, Aralık 2020-Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin göğüs hastalıkları polikliniğine başvuran 211 astımlı birey ile yürütülmüştür. Verilerin toplanmasında; hasta tanıtım formu, hastalık algısı ölçeği ve araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan astım yönetimi checklisti kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 20.0 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın yapılabilmesi için ilgili Üniversitesinin Etik Kurulundan etik onay, ilgili hastanenin yönetiminden gerekli yazılı izin ve araştırmaya dahil olan hastalardan yazılı ve sözlü bilgilendirilmiş onam alınmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 45.1514.56 ve astım tanı yılı ortalaması 7.737.56 olarak bulunmuştur. Hastaların ifadelerine göre astım kontrol düzeyleri düşük bulunmuştur. Yaş ile hastalık algısı ölçeği alt boyutlarında sonuçlar, duygusal temsiller ve risk faktörleri arasında pozitif korelasyon, kişisel kontrol ve tedavi kontrolü alt boyutu arasında negatif korelasyon bulunmuştur. Hastaların yaşı ile astıma bağlı günlük aktivitede kısıtlılık yaşama arasında negatif yönde, kurtarıcı ilaç kullanımı arasında pozitif yönde fark bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Araştırmaya katılan hastaların hastalık algıları toplam ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları yüksek ve astım yönetim düzeyleri düşük bulunmuştur. Astım hastalarının astım yönetim düzeylerini artırmak için hastaların takip ve tedavi süreçlerinde hastalık algılarının değerlendirilmesi ve sosyokültürel özellikleri göz önünde bulundurularak anemnez alınması önerilmektedir.
