Koronavirüs Hastalığı 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemisi Sırasında Diş Hekimine Başvuran Hastalarda Bilgi ve Endişe Düzeyinin Değerlendirilmesi: Anket Çalışması
Abstract
Amaç: Korona Virus Hastalığı 2019 (COVID-19), Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından, tüm dünyadaki insanları etkileyen küresel bir halk sağlığı acil durumu olarak ilan edildi. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 salgını sırasında diş hekimine başvuran hastaların COVID-19 hakkında bilgi ve endişelerini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Temmuz-Ekim 2020 tarihleri arasında Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği fakültesine başvuran 400 hastaya, COVID-19 salgını ile ilgili anket yapıldı. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel anlamlılık farkını analiz etmek için ki-karetesti kullanıldı. P<0.05 değeri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya %54’ü (216) kadın, %46’sı (184) erkek olmak üzere toplam 400 hasta katıldı. COVID-19'un bulaşıcı bir hastalık olduğunu düşünenlerin oranı %47, olmadığını düşünenlerin oranı ise %53 olarak elde edildi ve verilen yanıtlar ile eğitim durumu arasında istatistiksel bir fark bulundu (p<0.05). COVID-19'un bulaşıcı olduğunu düşünenlerin %78.8’i lisans mezunudur. COVID-19'un yüzeylere temas ile bulaşacağını düşünenlerin oranı %99 olarak elde edildi ve bu soruya verilen yanıtlar ile katılımcıların cinsiyetleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görüldü (p<0.05). COVID-19’dan korunmada diş hekiminin ve yardımcı personelin koruyucu gözlük ve tıbbi maske giymesinin yeterli olup olduğunu düşünenlerin oranı %88’dir ve verilen yanıtlar açısından yaş ve eğitim kategorilerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar elde edildi (p<0.05).
Sonuç: COVID-19'un dental uygulamalar sırasında hekim ve hastalara bulaşma riski yüksektir. Diş hekimleri ve hastaları için COVID-19’dan korunmada, hastalık hakkında farkındalığı artırmak, hastalığa sahip olabilecek kişilerle temastan kaçınmak, dental işlemler sırasında uygun kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanmak ve kişisel hijyen davranışlarına dikkat çekmek oldukça önemlidir.

Assessment of Knowledge and Concern of Dental Patients During Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic: Survey Study
Abstract
Aim: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared by World Health Organization (WHO) as a global public health emergency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and concerns of dental patients during COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials and Methods: A questionnaire about COVID-19 pandemic was conducted on 400 patients who applied to Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, Faculty of Dentistry between July-October 2020. Chi-square test was used to analyze the statistical significance of data. P <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: A total of 400 patients, 54% (216) female and 46% (184) male, participated in the study. The rate of those who think that COVID-19 is an infectious disease is 47%, while those who think it is not is 53%, and a statistical difference was seen in responce between educational status (p<0.05). 78.8% of those who think that COVID-19 is contagious is undergraduate. The rate of those who thought that COVID-19 would be transmitted by contact with surfaces was 99%, and a statistically significant difference was observed in responce between the gender of the participants (p<0.05). The rate of those who think that wearing protective glasses and medical masks is suffecient for dentists and dental assistans to protect from COVID-19 is 88%, and statistically significant differences were obtained in responces within age and education (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The risk of transmission of COVID-19 to dentists and patients during dental procedures is high. For dentists and their patients, it is important to increase awareness about the disease, to avoid contact with people who may have disease, use appropriate personal protective equipment during dental procedures and draw attention to personal hygiene in preventing COVID-19.
