Need Assessment About Cervical Cancer Prevention Trainings Among Woman Health Care Workers Working in A Training and Research Hospital in Turkey

Öz:

Aim: Positive behaviors of healthcare workers are very important in terms of presenting preventive health recommendations. However, in many studies, it has been found that the behaviors of health personnel are not sufficient. The aim of this study was to determine the training needs of women healthcare workers, working in a tertiary hospital, in the field of cervical cancer prevention education and to propose a training method. Methods: This cross sectional, descriptive study was conducted between March 1 and May 31, 2017 with 500 women health care workers working in a training and research hospital. A questionnaire consisting of knowledge and behaviors about cervical cancer prevention were applied. Descriptive statistical methods were used in the evaluation of the data.Results: Among the women health care workers who partipicated in our study, regular gynecologic examination rate was 17.8%, servikal smear rate was 37.2% and HPV vaccination rate was only 4%. Cervical cancer knowledge score averaged 9,5 out of 20 full score. Despite the low vaccination rate of women healthcare workers, the majority of them (67.4%) recommend vaccination to their relatives. Conclusion: Women healthcare workers have an important role as health educators and supporters of cervical cancer prevention. Inadequate knowledge and attitudes of women healthcare workers may cause adverse effects on society. In our study, it was found that female healthcare workers had an average level of knowledge about cervical cancer prevention, but this information did not turn into behaviour. For this reason, there is a need for training to provide adequate behavior change.

Türkiye'de Bir Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde Çalışan Kadın Sağlık Çalışanlarının Servikal Kanser Önleme Konusundaki Eğitim Gereksinimleri

Öz:

Amaç: Sağlık çalışanlarının olumlu davranışları, hastalara koruyucu sağlık önerileri sunulması açısından çok önemlidir. Ancak, birçok çalışmada, sağlık personelinin davranışlarının yeterli düzeyde örnek olmadığı bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, üçüncü basamak bir hastanede çalışan kadın sağlık çalışanlarının servikal kanser önleme eğitimi konusundaki eğitim gereksinimlerini belirlemek ve bir eğitim yöntemi önermektir. Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel, tanımlayıcı çalışma 1 Mart - 31 Mayıs 2017 tarihleri arasında, bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde çalışan 500 kadın sağlık çalışanı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara servikal kanserden korunma hakkında bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını sorgulayan bir anket uygulanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza katılan kadın sağlık çalışanları arasında düzenli jinekolojik muayene oranı %17,8; servikal smear oranı %37,2; HPV aşılama oranı sadece %4 idi. Serviks kanseri bilgi skoru ortalama 20 tam puandan 9,5 idi. Kadın sağlık çalışanlarının düşük aşılama oranlarına rağmen, çoğunluğu akrabalarına (%67,4) aşı yapılmasını önermekteydi. Tartışma: Kadın sağlık çalışanları, servikal kanser önleme konusunda sağlık eğitimcisi ve destekleyicisi olarak önemli bir role sahiptir. Kadın sağlık çalışanlarının yetersiz bilgi ve davranışları toplum üzerinde olumsuz etkilere neden olabilir. Çalışmamızda, kadın sağlık çalışanlarının serviks kanserini önleme konusunda ortalama düzeyde bilgi sahibi oldukları, ancak bu bilginin davranışa dönüşmediği saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle, yeterli davranış değişikliğini sağlayacak eğitim gereksinimi bulunmaktadır.
