Bir Pandemi Hastanesinde Yatan COVID-19 Tanılı Hastaların Hastalık Algısının Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, COVID-19 tanısı nedeniyle yatarak tedavi gören hastaların hastalık algısı ve etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikte olan bu çalışmanın örneklemini bir pandemi hastanesinde 01 Mart-31 Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında yatarak tedavi gören 150 hasta oluşturmuştur. Veriler “Hasta Tanıtıcı Soru Formu” ve “COVID-19 Hastalık Algısı Ölçeği (COVID-19 HAÖ)” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, bağımsız örneklem t testi ve ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 54.14±15.89, %52.0’sinin kadın, %44.7’sinin ilkokul mezunu, %36.7’sının emekli, %66.7’sinin evli, %50.0’sinin en az bir kronik hastalığı olduğu bulunmuştur. COVID-19 HAÖ puan ortalaması 3.84±0.80; tehlikelilik alt boyut puan ortalaması 3.92±0.93; bulaştırıcılık alt boyut puan ortalaması 3.78±0.99 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Cinsiyet, eğitim durumu ve tedaviye uyum ile COVID-19 HAÖ puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamalı fark bulunmuştur. Sonuç: COVID-19 tanısı alan hastaların hastalık algısının yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Bulgular eşliğinde hastalık algısının belirlenmesinin hastalık ve tedaviye uyumu kolaylaştıracağı söylenebilir.

Material and Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 150 patients hospitalized in a pandemic hospital between 01 March and 31 May 2021. Data were collected using the “Patient Descriptive Questionnaire” and the “COVID-19 Disease Perception Scale (COVID-19 DPS)”. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA test were used in the statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 54.14±15.89, 52.0% were female, 44.7% were primary school graduates, 36.7% were retired, 66.7% were married, and 50.0% had at least one chronic disease. COVID-19 DPS mean score was 3.84±0.80; the mean score of the dangerousness sub-dimension was 3.92±0.93; the infectiousness sub-dimension mean score was calculated as 3.78±0.99. A statistically significant difference was found between gender, educational status, adherence to treatment, and the mean score of COVID-19 DPS. Conclusion: It was found that patients diagnosed with COVID-19 have a high perception of illness. It can be said that determining the perception of illness in the light of the findings will facilitate adherence to the disease and treatment.
