Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the awareness, attitudes, expectations and concerns of primary care physicians about precision medicine.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-qualitative study was conducted with family physicians providing primary health care between January 2023 and April 2023. Data were collected through face-to-face, in-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview form. The interviews were recorded and transcribed with a voice recorder.
Results: This study was conducted with 27 (12 male, 15 female) family physicians. The views of the participants on their previous knowledge on precision medicine are given in Table 2. It was determined that 74.1% of the participants did not have detailed information about precision medicine before.
Conclusions: In order to eliminate disadvantageous aspects such as social discrimination and financial burden in precision medicine practice, the studies can be examined by the managers by taking the opinions of health professionals.

Birinci Basamak Sağlık Hizmeti Sunan Hekimlerin Hassas Tıp Uygulamaları Konusundaki Düşünceleri ve Bilgi Düzeyleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, birinci basamakta hizmet sunan hekimlerin hassas tıp konusundaki farkındalığı, tutumları, beklentileri ve endişelerini saptamaktır.
Materyal ve Metot: Tanımlayıcı-nitel tasarıma sahip bu çalışma, birinci basamak sağlık hizmeti sunan aile hekimleri ile Ocak 2023-Nisan 2023 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Veriler, yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak, yüz-yüze derinlemesine görüşmelerle toplanmıştır. Görüşmeler, ses kayıt cihazıyla kaydedilmiş ve transkript edilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Bu araştırma 27 (12 erkek, 15 kadın) aile hekimi ile yürütülmüştür. Katılımcıların hassas tıp konusunda daha önceki bilgilerine dair görüşleri tablo 2’de verilmiştir. Katılımcıların %74,1’nin daha önce hassas tıp konusunda detaylı bilgilerinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: hassas tıp uygulamalında toplumsal ayrımcılık, maddi külfet gibi dezavantajlı yönlerin giderilebilmesi için sağlık profesyonellerinin görüşleri alınarak çalışmalar yöneticiler tarafından incelenebilir.
