Abstract

Infectious disease is a social health problem that occurs
with the direct or indirect transfer of a specific infectious agent or its
toxic products from a source to a susceptible person. This study was conducted
to determine the knowledge, and opinions of individuals living in the city
center of Bingol about infectious diseases. The population of this descriptive
and cross-sectional study consisted of individuals aged 18 years and over
living in the city of  Bingol. The study
was completed with 638 people. The variables of age, educational level and
profession in the study made a difference in terms of the statuses about
knowledge, attitude and opinions (p<0.05). Briefly all the parts of the
system from family physicians to patients, from family health centers to
community health centers, from primary care to laboratories, and from cities to
countries have responsibilities in the fight against infectious diseases.

18 YAŞ ÜSTÜ ERİŞKİNLERİN, BULAŞICI HASTALIKLAR KONUSUNDAKİ BİLGİ ve GÖRÜŞLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ / EVALUATING THE KNOWLEDGE AND OPINIONS OF INDIVIDUALS OVER THE AGE OF 18 CONCERNING INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Abstract

Bulaşıcı hastalık, özel bir enfeksiyöz etkenin ya da onun
toksik ürünlerinin, bir kaynaktan duyarlı kişiye doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak
geçmesiyle oluşan, toplumsal bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu araştırma, Bingöl il
merkezinde yaşayan bireylerin, bulaşıcı hastalıklar konusundaki bilgi ve
görüşlerini tespit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipte olan
çalışmanın evrenini Bingöl İlinde yaşayan 18 yaş ve üstü bireyler
oluşturmuştur. Araştırma 638 kişi ile tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmada, yaş, eğitim
düzeyi ve meslek değişkenlerinin bilgi, tutum ve görüşle ilgili olarak ele
alınan durumlar açısından fark oluşturduğu görülmüştür (p<0.05). Bulaşıcı hastalıklarla
mücadelede, aile hekimlerinden hastalara, aile sağlığı merkezlerinden toplum
sağlığı merkezlerine, birinci basamaktan laboratuvarlara, şehirlerden ülkelere,
kısaca sistemin birlikte hareket eden tüm parçalarına sorumluluk düşmektedir.
