Amaç: Tanı türlerine göre kanser
hastalarının beslenme alışkanlıklarının, besin tüketim sıklığının tanı öncesi
ve sonrası inceleyerek genel olarak ne gibi değişiklikler yapıldığının, kanser
hastalarının besin takviyesi olarak en fazla hangilerini, ne amaçla kullanıldıklarının
ve besin takviyesi kullanımının kimler tarafından şekillendirildiğinin
saptanmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 55
medikal onkoloji, 66 radyasyon onkolojisi hastası olmak üzere toplam 116 hasta
katılmıştır. Bireylere genel bilgiler, beslenme alışkanlıkları, hastalık öncesi
ve sonrası besin tüketim sıklıklarını sorgulayan anket yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi
ile uygulanmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde SPSS 15.0 programı
kullanılmıştır. Anlamlılık p<0.05 düzeyinde değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastaların %28.4’ ünün besin
takviyesi kullandığı, bireylerin daha çok doktor tavsiyesi ile tedaviye destek
amaçlı besin takviyesi kullandıkları (sırası ile %75.8, %75.0) saptanmıştır.
Besin takviyesi kullanımı yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim seviyesi ve tanı türü ile
ilişkili olmayıp, besin takviyesi olarak en fazla omega 3 kullanılmaktadır.
Besin takviyesi kullanan hastaların pişirme yöntemi olarak kızartma kullanma
oranı, kullanmayan bireylere göre anlamlı düşük bulunmuştur (p<0.05).
Bireylerin diyetisyene başvurma oranı %2.6’ dır. Tüm bireylerin tanı öncesi ve
sonrası besin tüketim sıklıklarına incelendiğinde anlamlı bir farklılık
saptanmamıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç:
Besin takviyesi kullanımı genel olarak doktorlar tarafından
yönlendirilmektedir. Tanı sonrası sağlıklı seçimlere yönelimin sanıldığı kadar
olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Literatürde gösterilmiş faydalarına rağmen hastaların
beslenme danışmanlığı alma ve hastalığın tedavisinde beslenmenin etkisine olan
inançları düşük bulunmuş, onkoloji diyetisyenliği branşlaşması ile hastaların
bu konuda bilinçlendirilmesine yönelik çalışmaların arttırılmasının yararlı
olacağı düşünülmüştür.
Aim: The aim of
this study is to determine the nutritional habits of cancer patients based on
the diagnosis types, the changes in the food frequency before and after the
diagnosis, and to determine the purposes and types of nutritional supplements
used by the cancer patients and by whom the supplements were recommended. Metods: Totaly 116 patients, 55 from
medical oncology and 66 from radiation oncology were included in the study.
Questionnaire about general knowledge, nutritional habits, pre and post
diagnostic food frequencies was performed by face to face interview. SPSS for
Windows 15.0 program has been used for the statistical analysis of the study
findings, p<0.05 was accepted as the degree of significance. Results: When the findings were
evaluated; it was found that 28.4% of the patients were using supplements, they
mostly started to use with the advise of doctor (75.8%), and 75.0% of them were
using the supplements to support of their treatment. It was determined that the
use of supplement was not related with age, gender, cancer types and the most
commonly used supplement was omega 3. The patients consuming supplements were
found to use frying as a cooking method statistically lower than the non-use
patients (p<0.05). It was found that 2.6% of patients consulted with
dietitian. When pre and post diagnostic food frequencies were evaluated,
no statistical differences was found between the two (p<0.05). Conclusion: The use of dietary
supplements is generally directed by doctors. It has been observed that likelihood to make healtier choices after
the diagnosis is not as expected to be. Even though benefit is showed in the
literature, dietary consulting of the patients and their belief about the
benefit of nutrition on the treatment of disease is found to be low. Ongologic
branching out of dietitian may lead to the increase of the awareness among
patients about affect of nutrition on threapy.
