Publication: Romatolojik hastalığı olan bireylerin sigaraya yönelik bilgi, tutum ve davranışları
Abstract
İnflamatuvar romatizmal hastalıklar (İRH) kronik hastalıklardır ve etiyolojisi net olarak bilinmemektedir. Etiyolojisinde genetik, otoimmünite ve çevrenin rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir. Sigara, İRH'nin etyopatogenezinde suçlanan ve prognozu kötüleştiren iyi bilinen çevresel faktörlerden biridir. Sigarayı bırakmak İRH'nin yönetiminde en önemli değiştirilebilir yaşam tarzı faktörüdür. Gereç ve yöntem: Romatoloji polikliniğine başvuran İRH'li hastalara 38 soruluk bir anket uygulandı. Çalışmaya 252'si (%74,6) kadın olmak üzere toplam 338 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların 96'sı (%28,4) sigara içiyordu; 56'sı (%16,6) sigarayı bırakmıştı. Hastaların 186'sı (%55) sigaranın eklemlere zararlı olduğunu düşünürken, 136'sı (%40,5) hastalık belirtilerini artıracağını düşünüyordu. Ortalama Fagerström Nikotin Bağımlılık Testi (FNBT) puanı 2,67±2,6 idi. Sigara içenlerin 57'si (%66,3) eklem ağrısı olduğunda sigara içiyordu; 45'i (%51,7) sigarayı iyi bir arkadaş olarak tanımladı; 69'u (%90,8) benzer hastalıklara sahip kişilerin sigarayı bırakması gerektiğini düşünüyordu; 49'unun (%56,3) sigarayı bırakma konusunda aile hekimi, romatolog ve romatoloji hemşiresinden tavsiye aldığı belirlendi. İRH'li hastalarda sigara içme oranı yüksek olup, hastalığa bağlı bazı faktörler hastaların sigarayı bırakmasını engellemektedir. Eğitim, etkili ağrı tedavisi, stresle mücadelede yardım, sigarayı bırakma ve tekrar başlamama konusunda destek ve özel bırakma yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesi sigarayı bırakmayı kolaylaştırabilir.
Inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) are chronic diseases and their etiology is not clearly known. Genetics, autoimmunity and environment are thought to play a role in its etiology. Smoking is one of the well-known environmental factors that are accused in the etiopathogenesis of IRD and worsen the prognosis. Quitting smoking is the most important modifiable lifestyle factor in the management of IRD. We conducted a 38-question survey on patients with IRH who applied to the rheumatology outpatient clinic. A total of 338 patients, 252 (74.6%) of whom were women, were included in the study. 96 of the patients (28.4%) were smokers; 56 (16.6%) had quit. Whi le 186patients (55%) thought that smoking was harmful to the joints, 136 (40.5%) thought it would increase the symptoms of the disease. The mean Fagerström Nicotine Dependency Test (FNDT) score was 2.67±2.6. 57 of the smokers (66.3%) smoked when they had joint pain; 45 (51.7%) defined cigarettes as a good friend; 69 (90.8%) thought that people with similar dis eases should quit smoking; It was determined that 49 ofthem (56.3%) received advice from their family physician, rheumatologist and rheumatology nurse about quitting smoking. The s moking ratewas high in patients with IRD, and some disease-related factors prevent them from quitting smoking. Education, effective pain treatment,help in combating stress, support in quitting smoking and not starting again, and development of special quitting methods can make quitting smoking easier.
