dc.description.abstractIt is known that primary care level doctors make mistakes and use spirometry less for the diagnosis of COPD. In this study, it was aimed to learn the approach of doctors about COPD and precautions that must be taken were discussed. A questionnaire including 13 questions were applied to 230 doctors from 1.2. and 3. care levels in Diyarbakir and Mardin in November 2003. 119 (%51.7) practitioners, 68 (% 29.6) interns and 43 (%18.7) specialists (9 chest diseases, 23 internal diseases and 11 other) were included. Of the doctors; 157 (%68.3) expressed dyspnea, 54 (%23.5) cough, 15 (% 6.5) sputum as a symptom of priority. Comparing the period of being a doctor with knowledge of symptom, the level of knowledge was found to decrease as the period increased and this difference was significantly important (p=0.007). The level of awareness that spirometry (SFT) is the definite diagnosis method decreased as the period of being a doctor increased (p=0.0001). This subject was best known by chest diseases specialists then intern doctors. Significant difference was found between branches (p=0.0001). Finding SFT necessary for diagnosis was detected as %78 in doctors having SFT in their institutions and as %56 in doctors not having PFT (p=0.0001). The doctors having SFT found spirometric investigation necessary 2.73 (1.51-4.95) fold higher than the doctors not having SFT. Statistically no significant difference was detected among the doctors about period and branch relating the risk factors of COPD, precautions that must be taken the choice of treatment and usage of antibiotics. The level of information decreases among doctors as the period of being a doctor increases and in the places not having PFT the level of knowledge of doctors is worse. Periodic education and providing PFT in the primary care level will be usefull in the struggle against this disease.en_US
