Özet
Amaç: Osteoporoz çoğu ülkede toplumun ana sağlık problemlerinden birisi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Osteoporoz tedavisinin iyileştirilmesinde, sağlık ekibinin eğitimi esas rolü oynamaktadır. Ancak, doktorların bu konu hakkındaki bilgi düzeyi ile ilgili çok az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bizim amacımız, geleceğin doktorları olacak olan tıp öğrencilerinin, osteoporoz tedavisi ve korunma konusundaki bilgi düzeylerini ve görüşlerini ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem ve Gereçler: Farklı sınıflardan 375 tıp öğrencisi, osteoporoz ile ilgili sorgulama formlarını doldurdu. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %98.9'unun osteoporozun ne anlama geldiği hakkında bilgileri vardı. Tıp öğrencilerinin sadece %0,3”ü osteoporoz risk faktörleri ile ilgili soruların tümünü doğru olarak cevaplamışlardı. Osteoporoz tedavisine destek için ayrıca kalsiyum alınması gerektiği gerçeği, öğrencilerin %45,9”u tarafından bilinmekteydi. %10,7 gibi çok düşük bir oranda öğrenci, osteoporozun direkt kalça kırığından sorumlu olabileceğini biliyordu. Diğer taraftan, %18,9 oranında öğrenci bu hastalığın ölümle sonuçlanabileceğ ini biliyordu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, tıp öğrencileri osteoporoz tanımını bilmelerine rağmen, tüm sınıflarda komplikasyonlar ve korunma konusundaki bilgileri yetersizdi. Tıp öğrencileri tıp eğitimi sırasında, osteoporoz risk faktörleri ve koruyucu yaklaşımlar ile ilgili yeterli ve topluma uyarlanabilir bilgi almalıdırlar, bu bilgi onlara bildiklerini etkin şekilde kullanmak için plan yapma izni verir.
Objective: Osteoporosis is a major public health problem in many countries. Educating healthcare providers about osteoporosis may play a pivotal role in improving osteoporosis management. However, there are very few studies at the physicians' level of knowledge on this matter. Our aim was to determine as future physicians, Turkish medical students' knowledge and attitudes to the management and prevention of osteoporosis. Materials and Methods: A total of 375 medical students from each grade were asked to fill in a questionnaire about osteoporosis. Results: 98.9% of the students surveyed thought they were somewhat familiar with osteoporosis. Only 0.3% of the medical students who completed the questionnaire answered all the questions on the risk factors for osteoporosis correctly. The fact that supplementary medications in addition to calcium are needed for the management of osteoporosis was known by 45.9% of the medical students. With 10.7%, very few students knew that osteoporosis is directly responsible of hip fractures. On the other hand, 18.9% of the students knew that the disease could result in fatality. Conclusion: The results of the present study show that medical students know the definition of osteoporosis but their knowledge on complications and preventive measures were insufficient in all classes. During their medical education, medical students should be furnished with necessary information on risk factors for osteoporosis and preventive measures that are applicable to the community and this knowledge should allow them to plan effective ways of using information.
