Abstract

Sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının geliştirilmesi
bireyin genel sağlık ve iyilik durumunu iyileştirmeyi amaçlar. Talasemi
hastalarında sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını belirleyen çalışmaya
rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle çalışma literatüre önemli katkı sağlamakta ve
talasemi hastalarının yararına, hemşireler için önemli veriler sunmaktadır.
Literatürde bu konudaki bilgi açığını gidermeye yönelik planlanan bu çalışmanın
amacı, talasemi hastalarında sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını
belirlemektir.

Bu tanımlayıcı
çalışma, Türkiye’nin Antalya İli’nde iki farklı hastanede takip ve tedavi edilen (9 yaş ve üzeri) 151 talasemi
hastası ile gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın
verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu
ve
Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları
Ölçeği-II kullanılarak elde
edildi.

Ölçeğin genel cronbach alpha güvenirlik katsayısı
0.93. Katılımcıların ölçek toplam puan ortalaması 2.48±0.03'dir. Eğitim,
çalışma durumu, kardeş sayısı, oturduğu yerleşim yeri ile puan ortalamaları
arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardı (p<0.05).

Sonuç olarak; talasemi hastalığına sahip bireylerin
sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları puan ortalamaları orta düzeyde bulunmuştur. Bu doğrultuda talasemi hastaları ile
çalışan hemşireler, hastalarına sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışı kazandırma
konusunda bilgilendirmede önemli bir konuma sahiptirler. Araştırmadan elde
edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda hemşireler tarafından, talasemi hastalığına sahip
bireylerin yaşam tarzı değişimine yönelik eğitim ve danışmanlık programlarının
hazırlanması, eğitimin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi
davranışlarını etkileyen faktörler konusundaki bilgilerin uygulamalara
yansıtılması önerilmektedir.
