Türkiye’de Yaşayan Suriyeli Mülteci Transtibial ve Transfemoral Amputelerde Protez Memnuniyetinin Değerlendirilmesi: Çok Merkezli Çalışma

Amaç: Bu çalışma uluslararası bir sivil toplum örgütü aracılığıyla Türkiye’de protez hizmeti verilen Suriye savaşı mağduru transtibial ve transfemoral amputelerin protez memnuniyetlerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma Mart, 2019- Eylül,2020 tarihleri arasında xxxx Derneği Protez merkezlerinden protez hizmeti alan Suriye Savaşı mağduru unilateral transtibial (n=55) ve transfemoral (n=57) amputeler üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Protezle ilişkili memnuniyet değerlendirilmesi Orthotics Prostetics Users Survey- Cihaz Memnuniyeti Modülü (OPUS-CMM) ile yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel teknikler (ortalama ve standart sapma), ikili karşılaştırmalarda Bağımsız t Test, çoklu karşılaştırmalarda Kruskal Wallis Test kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Amputelerin cinsiyet, amputasyon seviyesi, amputasyon yılı, amputasyon nedeni, protez kullanım süresi ve süspansiyon tipine göre oluşturan alt gruplardaki OPUS-CMM puanlarının benzer olduğu görülmüştür (p>0,05). Sonuç: Çalışılan bu gruplarda amputasyon seviyesi, cinsiyet, amputasyon yılı, protez kulllanım süresi ile süspansiyon tipinin protez memnuniyetini belirleyici bir etken olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Evaluation of Prosthesis Satisfaction in Syrian Refugee Transtibial and Transfemoral Amputees Living in Turkey: A Multicenter Study

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the prosthesis satisfaction of transtibial and transfemoral amputees who were victims of the Syrian war, and to determine the factors affecting prosthesis satisfaction, through an international non-governmental organization. Materials and Methods: The research was carried out on unilateral transtibial (n=55) and transfemoral (n=56) amputees who were victims of the Syrian War, and who received prosthesis service from xxxx Association Prosthetic Centers between March, 2019- September, 2020. Prosthesis-related satisfaction was evaluated with the Orthotics Prostetics Users Survey-Device Satisfaction Module (OPUS-CMM). Descriptive statistical techniques (mean and standard deviation), Independent t-Test for pairwise comparisons, Kruskal Wallis Test for multiple comparisons were used in the analysis of the data. Results: OPUS-CMM scores of amputees were found to be similar in subgroups according to gender, amputation level, amputation year, amputation reason, prosthesis usage time and suspension type (p>0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that amputation level, gender, amputation year, prosthesis usage time and suspension type were not a determining factor for prosthesis satisfaction in Syrian refugee transtibial and transfemoral amputees living in Turkey.
