Abstract

Amaç: COVID-19 pandemi seyri, virüs hakkında artan bilgi ve deneyim ve yaygın aşılama sayesinde başlangıcından bu yana çok değişti. Tüm bu değişikliklerin fizyoterapistlerin COVID-19 hastalarına yönelik tutumlarını etkileyip etkilemediği bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışma, 2021 yılında mezun olan fizyoterapistlerin yaklaşımını değerlendirmeyi ve sonuçlarını önceki çalışmamız için elde edilen 2020 yılı mezun fizyoterapistlerin sonuçları ile karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya x Üniversitesi'nden 2021 yılında mezun olan fizyoterapistler davet edildi. Katılımcılara Google Formlar aracılığıyla COVID-19'a yaklaşımlarını değerlendiren 7 maddelik bir anket gönderildi. 2021 yılında mezun olan fizyoterapistlerin her bir maddeye verdiği yanıtların (%) dağılımı, önceki çalışmamızda kaydedilen 2020 mezunlarından alınan yanıtların dağılımı ile karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Analize 2020 mezunlarından 56 ve 2021'den 65 fizyoterapist dahil edildi. Gruplar yaş ve cinsiyet açısından benzerdi (p>0,05). Herhangi bir maddeye verilen yanıtların dağılım oranları iki farklı mezuniyet yılları arasında anlamlı farklılık göstermedi (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, pandemi sürecinde iki yıl üst üste mezun olan fizyoterapistlerin COVID-19’a yaklaşımlarında anlamlı bir fark olmadığını göstermiştir. Hastalıkla ilgili bilgi, deneyim ve korunma yöntemlerindeki çarpıcı artış, fizyoterapistlerin tutumlarında bir anlam ifade etmemiştir. Virüsün belirsiz yeni varyantların, çoklu sistemik tutulumun ve uzun süreli komplikasyonların bu sonucu etkilemiş olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

THE EFFECT OF PANDEMIC COURSE ON PHYSIOTHERAPISTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS PATIENTS WITH COVID-19: COMPARISON OF 2020 AND 2021 GRADUATES

Abstract

Aim: COVID-19 pandemic course has changed a lot since its beginning thanks to the increased knowledge and experience about the virus and widespread vaccination. It is unknown whether all these changes affect physiotherapists' attitudes toward patients with COVID-19. This study aims to evaluate the approach of physiotherapists who graduated in 2021 and compare their results with the results of physiotherapists who graduated in 2020 that have been obtained for our previous study.
Methods: Physiotherapists who graduated from x University in 2021 were invited to the study. Participants were sent a 7-item questionnaire assessing their approach to COVID-19 via Google Forms. The distribution of responses (%) of physiotherapists who graduated in 2021 to each item was compared with those from 2020 graduates recorded in our previous study.
Results: In the research conducted in 2020, 56 graduate physiotherapists answered the questionnaire. 65 of the physiotherapists who graduated in 2021 answered the questionnaire. The groups were similar in terms of age and gender (p>0,05). There was no significant difference between the two graduation years in terms of the distribution of responses given to each item (p>0,05).
Conclusion: This study showed no significant difference in the approaches of physiotherapists who graduated two years in a row during the pandemic process against COVID-19. The dramatic increase in knowledge, experience, and prevention methods about the disease did not make any sense in the attitudes of physiotherapists. Uncertain new variants of the virus, multiple systemic involvement, and long-term complications are thought to have affected this outcome.
