Evaluation of Vitamin D Levels in Home Care Patients

Öz:

Objective: Vitamin D deficiency has become an epidemic for all age groups in the world. This research aims to evaluate the vitamin D deficiency in home care patients and related lifestyle reasons. Methods: This research included Home Care patients registered to İstanbul Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital between January 2015 – February 2016. After getting the patients’ vitamin D records retrospectively, we have inquired patients if they had regular exposure to sunlight, whether they had a history of fracture or osteoporosis, and other related lifestyle habits. D vitamin deficiency were grouped as normal (>30ng/ml), insufficiency (20-30ng/ml), deficiency (lower than 20ng/ml), and severe deficiency (lower than <10ng/ml). The data was evaluated with SPSS 20.0 program, using frequencies, chi-square, and T-tests. Results: A total of 232 patients were included in this study. There were 160 (69%) women and 72 (31%) men. Vitamin D insufficiency was found in 11.2% (n=26), and vitamin D deficiency in 70.3% (n=163). 70.1% (n=96) of 137 patients who answered the questions were female and 29.9% (n=41) were male. 86.1% of them (n=118) did not benefit from sunlight, 63.5% (n=87) had not received vitamin D treatment before. Vitamin D deficiency was detected in 79.3% (n=69) of those who did not receive vitamin D treatment, and a significant relationship was found between them. Conclusions: Our study found that most home care patients had low Vitamin D levels, did not have regular exposure to sunlight, and did not exercise regularly. Vitamin D replacement is vital in home-care patients as vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of osteoporosis, falls, and fractures.

Evde Bakım Hastalarında D Vitamini Düzeylerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz:

Amaç: D vitamini eksikliği tüm dünyada bütün yaş grupları için bir salgın haline gelmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı evde bakım hastalarında D vitamini eksikliğini ve buna bağlı yaşam tarzı nedenlerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma, Ocak 2015 - Şubat 2016 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesine kayıtlı Evde Bakım hastalarında yapılmıştır. Hastaların D vitamini kayıtları retrospektif olarak toplandıktan sonra, hastalara düzenli güneş ışığına maruz kalıp kalmadıkları, kırık veya osteoporoz öyküsü olup olmadığı ve diğer ilgili yaşam tarzı özellikleri sorgulandı. D vitamini eksikliği şu şekilde gruplandırıldı; normal (> 30ng / ml), yetersizlik (20-30ng / ml), eksiklik (20ng / ml'den az) ve ciddi eksiklik (<10ng / ml'den az). Veriler SPSS 20.0 versiyonunda frekans, ki-kare ve T testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya evde bakım hizmeti verilen 232 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların %69’u (n=160) kadın; %31’i (n=72) erkekti. % 11.2’sinde (n=26) D vitamini yetersizliği; %70.3’ünde (n=163) D vitamini eksikliği saptandı. Soruları yanıtlayan 137 hastanın %70.1’i (n=96) kadın, %29.9’u (n=41) erkekti. Bunların %86.1’i (n=118) güneş ışığından faydalanmıyordu, %63.5’i (n=87) daha önce D vitamin tedavisi almamıştı. D vitamini tedavisi almayanların% 79,3'ünde (n = 69) D vitamini eksikliği tespit edildi ve aralarında anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, evde bakım hastalarının çoğunun düşük D vitamini seviyelerine sahip olduğunu, düzenli olarak güneş ışığından faydalanmadıklarını, düzenli egzersiz yapmadıklarını bulduk. D vitamini eksikliği, osteoporoz, düşme ve kırık riskini arttırdığı için, evde bakım hastalarında D vitamininin replasmanı önemlidir.
