Aile Sağlığı Merkezine Başvuran Bireylerin Ağrı Kontrolünde Uyguladıkları Yöntemlere Yönelik Tutumlarının Belirlenmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Ağrı, toplumda değişen bir yaygınlığa sahip olan ve farmakolojik veya farmakolojik olmayan yöntemler kullanılarak kontrol edilen hoş olmayan duyusal bir deneyimdir. Bu çalışmada, aile sağlığı merkezi (ASM)’ne başvuran bireylerin ağrı kesici ilaç kullanımına yönelik tutumları ve ağrı kontrolünde uyguladıkları nonfarmakolojik yöntemleri belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metot: On farklı ASM birimine kayıtlı bireyler araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturdu (n=572). Veriler, üç bölümden oluşan soru formu vasıtasıyla toplanmıştır. Birinci kısımda katılımcıların sosyodemografik özelliklerini sorgulayan 9 soru, ikinci kısımda katılımcıların ağrı kesici ilaç kullanımına yönelik tutumlarını sorgulayan 18 soru, üçüncü kısımda ise katılımcıların ağrı kontrolünde uyguladıkları nonfarmakolojik yöntemleri sorgulayan 15 soru yer aldı. Bu araştırma, tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte bir çalışmadır. Veri analizinde nominal değişkenler frekans ve yüzde kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Nitel verilerin analizinde ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi 0,05 olarak kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Reçetesiz ağrı kesici ilaç kullanan, kendisi için etkili olduğunu düşündüğü ağrı kesici ilacı başkasına öneren ve ilacın reçetesini okuyan kişilerde birçok değişkene göre anlamlı farklılık bulundu (p<0,05). Masaj (%50), sıcak-soğuk uygulama (%52,9) ve televizyon seyretme (%26,2) en fazla uygulanan nonfarmakolojik ağrı kontrol yöntemleri olarak belirlendi.
Sonuç: Bireysel, sosyal ve ekonomik faktörler ağrı kesici ilaç kullanımı etkilemektedir. Ağrı kontrolünde masaj, sıcak-soğuk uygulama ve televizyon seyretme gibi uygulamaların kullanım oranı yüksektir.

Determining the Attitudes of Individuals Applying to Family Health Centre Towards the Methods They Applied in Pain Management
Abstract
Aim: Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that has a varying prevalence in society and is controlled by using pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of individuals, who applied to the family health center (FHC), toward the use of analgesics and the non-pharmacological methods they applied for pain management.
Material and Method: The population of the study was composed of 572 individuals from 10 FHCs in the Amasya. The data were collected by a questionnaire consisting of three parts. The first part includes 9 questions investigating the sociodemographic characteristics, the second part includes 18 questions examining the attitudes of the participants toward the use of analgesics, and the third part includes 15 questions evaluating the non-pharmacological methods used by the participants for pain management. This research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. In the data analysis, nominal variables were evaluated using frequency and percentage. Chi-square test was used to analyze qualitative data. The level of significance was accepted as 0.05.
Results: The rates of using analgesics without prescription, and recommending effective analgesics for others, and the reading the prescription of analgesics were found to be high in many variables (p<0.05). Hot-cold application (52.9%), massage (50%), and watching television (26.2%) were the most commonly applied nonpharmacological pain management methods.
Conclusion: Individual, social and economic factors affect the use of analgesics. The rate of use of applications such as hot-cold application, massage, and watching television for pain management is high.
