Öğe Are Primary Health Care Workers Aware of Cervical Cancer Risk?(Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2014) Can, Huseyin; Erdem, Ozgur; Oztekin, Coskun; Celik, Sercan Bulut; Onde, Mete; Celepkolu, Tahsin; Ongel, KurtulusBackground: We here examined the awareness of female health employees (doctors, nurses, midwives) working in primary health care service about cervical cancer and its risk factors. Additionally attitude and behavior for gynecologic examination and pap smear screening wwere researched. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study con cerned female health employees working at primary health care services in two southern cities of Turkey, over a four month period in 2013. Participants were recently or previously sexually active research was explained and verbal informed consent was obtained face to face. The questionnaire consisted of two parts; socio-demographic characteristics and level of knowledge about cervical cancer and its risk factors. Results: The average age of the participants (midwives 43.7%, n=143; nurses 40.4%, n=132; doctors 6.4%, n=21; emergency medical technicians and others, 9.5%, n=31; total, n=327) was 30.9 +/- 6.41 years. 64.2% (n=210) were working in Diyarbakir and 35.8% (n=117) in Batman. A large proportion reported low knowledge and inadequate screening practice Conclusions: Health employees should be better informed about the importance of screening for cancers, given their preventive roles for the general population.Öğe EVALUATION OF THE REACHING TARGET VALUES IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION AND IMPORTANCE OF TENSION FOLLOW-UP CARDS(Carbone Editore, 2014) Can, Huseyin; Celik, Sercan Bulut; Celepkolu, Tahsin; Akbayin, Zelal; Guclu, Yusuf Adnan; Ongel, Kurtulus; Cakir, LutfullahAim: To detect the efficiancy of the tension follow-up cards, which are used to follow tension, in achieving target values in the treatment of hypertensionl. Material and method: The research planned as a multicenteral, noninterventional observe and follow-up. was made in IS different Family Health Care units in different 7 cities, in Turkey, between November 2011 and April 2012. Patients diagnosed as essential hypertension and who were already taking at least one antihypertensive medicine, who were above 18 years old, were informed about the study and accepted 529 patients were involved into the study The patients involved were divided into two groups as experimental group and control group. The patients in the experimental group were given,a tension follow up card while the control group were not Both of the groups were given appoinments for control at the end of the fourth week. For statistical analysis, chi-square test, t-test and multiple variable logistic regression analysis were used. Results: Study was performed on 529 hypertensive patients; 247 (46.7%) were in the experimental, 282 (53.3%) were in the control group. In total; 332 patients (62.8%) were women and 197 patients (37.2%) were men. Mean age for the patients was 58.15 +/- 10.68 (mm 32 max:90) and mean body mass index was 30.76 +/- 5.18 (min:18.31 max 52.07) No statistical difference Was found between experimental and control groups for the begining tension values, except for the first visit first systole measurement. After one month, all measurements were repeated. For all measurements in the second visit, tension values of the experimental group were statistically lower than the control group (p<0.00 I). Conclusion: Patients who get treatment for hypertension but don't reach target blood pressure values constitudes high risk in the society. Data obtained from the study showed that; to control hypertension effectively, patients must be under control and must participate in the follow-up actively.
