Özet:

 Aims: Human papillomavirus HPV is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted viral infections, particularly associated with cervical cancer, other anogenital and oropharyngeal malignancies. HPV diagnosis is a significant factor that can affect the mental health of women, yet its psychological effects on physicians remain inadequately explored. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential psychological impact of managing HPV-positive patients among obstetricians and gynecologists, considering not only the medical burden but also the substantial psychosocial and occupational pressures involved. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 200 100 for gynecology specialist, 100 for resident participants who had presented between from March 10 to 18, 2025 at İstanbul Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital. The levels of anxiety and depression among specialists and residents in obstetrics and gynecology were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale HAM-A and Beck Depression Inventory BDI. Data also included age at marriage status, being children, HPV vaccine, place of work, and place of graduation. Results: The overall mean age was 33.17.4 years 25 to 65. Median years of resident and specialist were 3 1-4 and 4 1-26. The degrees of anxiety were similar with respect to marriage status, being specialist or resident, children, place of graduation, place of work, place of specialization, and HPV vaccine p0.05. The degrees of depression were similar in terms to marriage status, children, place of work, place of specialization, and HPV vaccine p0.05. However, severe, mild, and moderate depression were significantly higher among resident participants than among specialist participants p0.05. In addition, Training and research university of graduation had a significantly higher percentage of severe depression as compared with another place of graduations. Conclusion: The findings reveal that the management of HPV-positive patients has significant psychological effects on obstetrics and gynecology residents and emphasize the importance of psychosocial support during residency training.

 Amaç: İnsan papilloma virüsü HPV, özellikle rahim ağzı kanseri ile ilişkili olan, en yaygın cinsel yolla bulaşan viral enfeksiyonlardan biridir. Aynı zamanda diğer anogenital ve orofaringeal kanser türleriyle de ilişkilidir. HPV tanısı kadınların ruh sağlığını önemli ölçüde etkileyebilirken, bu durumun hekimler üzerindeki psikolojik etkileri yeterince araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, HPV pozitif hastaların takibinin kadın hastalıkları ve doğum uzmanları üzerindeki potansiyel psikolojik etkilerini, yalnızca tıbbi yük açısından değil, aynı zamanda önemli düzeydeki psikososyal ve mesleki baskılar açısından da değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmaya, 1018 Mart 2025 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Başakşehir Çam ve Sakura Şehir Hastanesine başvuran 200 katılımcı 100 kadın doğum uzmanı, 100 asistan doktor dâhil edilmiştir. Kadın hastalıkları ve doğum asistanları ile uzmanlarındaki anksiyete ve depresyon düzeyleri, Hamilton Anksiyete Derecelendirme Ölçeği HAM-A ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği BDI kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların evlenme yaşı, medeni durumu, çocuk sahibi olup olmama durumu, HPV aşı durumu, çalıştıkları kurum ve mezun oldukları üniversiteye ait veriler toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların genel ortalama yaşı 33,17,4 yıl 25-65 idi. Asistanlık süresi ortancası 3 yıl 1-4, uzmanlık süresi ortancası 4 yıl 1-26 olarak bulundu. Anksiyete düzeyleri; medeni durum, uzman ya da asistan olma, çocuk sahibi olma durumu, mezun olunan yer, çalışma yeri, uzmanlık yapılan yer ve HPV aşı durumu açısından benzerdi p0,05. Depresyon düzeyleri de medeni durum, çocuk sahibi olma, çalışma yeri, uzmanlık yapılan yer ve HPV aşı durumu açısından benzerdi p0,05. Ancak, şiddetli, hafif ve orta derecede depresyon, asistan katılımcılarda uzman katılımcılara kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulundu p0,05. Ayrıca, eğitim ve araştırma üniversitelerinden mezun olanlarda diğer mezuniyet yerlerine göre anlamlı derecede daha fazla şiddetli depresyon gözlendi. Sonuç: Bulgular, HPV pozitif hastaların takibinin kadın doğum asistanları üzerinde belirgin psikolojik etkileri olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum, asistanlık süresince psikososyal desteğin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
