Özet:

 In this infodemiological study, the data obtained from the national Turkey searches conducted with the term multiple sclerosis between August 2018 and August 2023 using the Google Trends platform were analyzed. The data were classified according to related inquiries, time and location. In the searches, it was determined that multiple sclerosis and the terms multiple and sclerosis were tried to be understood separately, and then the disease, its symptoms and treatment were questioned. In addition, it has been determined that users who search for these terms also search for other neurological diseases such as parkinson, alzheimer, and epilepsy. It has been observed that the search trend by years is irregular, the search volume increased in 2020, which coincides with the pandemic period, and the peak in search volume was in the autumn season. It has been determined that the most popular city for the related search term is Isparta. This study reflects representative indicators of public awareness of multiple sclerosis. As a result, it has been revealed that it is not known what multiple sclerosis is and many aspects of it, from its definition to its treatment, are wondered. In addition to the importance of presenting reliable information, it has been seen that there is a need to inform large masses about multiple sclerosis.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, çevrimiçi ortamda multipl skleroz hakkında yapılan aramaları değerlendirmektir. İnfodemiyolojik bu çalışmada Google Trendler platformu kullanılarak Ağustos 2018- Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında multipl skleroz terimi ile yapılan ulusal Türkiye aramalara ilişkin elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Veriler ilgili sorgulamalara, zamana ve konuma göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Aramalarda multipl sklerozun ve multipl ile skleroz terimlerinin ayrı ayrı ne olduğunun anlaşılmaya çalışıldığı, akabinde hastalığın, belirtilerinin ve tedavisinin sorgulandığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bu terimleri araştıran kullanıcıların parkinson, alzheimer, epilepsi gibi diğer nörolojik hastalıkları da aradıkları tespit edilmiştir. Yıllara göre arama eğiliminin düzensiz olduğu, pandemi dönemine denk gelen 2020 yılında arama hacminin arttığı, arama hacmindeki zirvenin ise sonbahar mevsiminde olduğu görülmüştür. İlgili arama teriminin en popüler olduğu ilin Isparta olduğu belirlenmiştir.Bu çalışma multipl skleroza ilişkin toplumsal farkındalığın temsili göstergelerini yansıtmaktadır. Sonuçta multipl sklerozun ne olduğunun bilinmediği ve tanımından tedavisine kadar pek çok yönünün merak edildiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Güvenilir bilginin sunulmasının öneminin yanı sıra multipl skleroz hakkında geniş kitlelerin bilgilendirmesine ihtiyaç olduğu görülmüştür.
