Evaluation of Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours: A Research on Hospitalized Patients

Bu çalışmanın amacı, morbidite ve mortalite oranlarının daha yüksek olduğu klinik birimlerden sağlık hizmeti alan bireylerin Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışı (SYBD) alışkanlıklarını incelemek ve buna etki eden faktörleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinin göğüs hastalıkları-göğüs cerrahisi, onkoloji-hematoloji, kalp-damar cerrahisi ve kardiyoloji klinikleri olmak üzere toplamda 4 farklı klinikte sağlık hizmeti alan 137 kişi üzerinde SYBD ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Anket verileri SPSS 21 paket programı ile analiz edilmiş, Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) ile Kruskal Wallis Testi uygulanmıştır. Demografik özellikler ve hizmet alınan klinik açısından SYBD’nin gruplar arasında farklılık gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Bu bağlamda özellikle potansiyel sağlık riski olan 65 yaş üstü kişiler ile onkoloji ve kalp damar hastalık riski gruplarının SYBD açısından özendirilmesinin gerekli olduğu düşünülmektedir.The aim of this study is to investigate the healthy lifestyle behaviours (HLB) of patients who received health care from clinical units with higher morbidity and mortality rates and to put forth the factors which affect the HLB. To this end, SYBD scale was applied to 137 people who received health services in 4 clinics, including thoracic diseases-thoracic surgery, oncology-haematology, cardiovascular surgery and cardiology clinics in a training and research hospital. The survey data analyzed with SPSS 21 package program, One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis tests were applied. It was found that SYBD varied between the groups in terms of demographic characteristics and clinical service. In this context, it is considered that especially those with 65 years of age who have potential health risks and the risk groups of oncology and cardiovascular disease should be encouraged with regard to HLB

Correction of patient medical record errors through a file control method

Top, Mehmet/0000-0001-9162-4238WOS: 000502891500003Aim: the purpose of this study was to reduce the errors that might occur in the medical practice records to the lowest possible level, thereby contributing to a better quality of health care services. the aim of this study is to reduce the errors and deficiencies in the patient files by providing training related to medical records and patient files to the personnel who are responsible for filling the patient files. This study was based on medical record errors in patient files. Method: the study was carried out in a training and research hospital in the Turkish health sector, and 360 physicians, nurses, and medical secretaries took part. in this context, the mistakes in the patient files were monitored and recorded, the recordings were analyzed to determine error areas, and the participants were trained to enter patient files correctly and completely. Results: the error-free patient file rate was 9% in the first month of the study. in the second month of the study, the participants were trained to properly complete the patient's files. the error-free patient files rate increased to 35%, 41%, 69% in the second, third, and fourth month of the study, respectively. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate the importance of educating health workers to prevent mistakes in medical records. Our data also demonstrate the necessity of using electronic medical recording systems. All health institutions should move into regular, accurate, and complete recording systems to prevent medical errors that might arise in terms of patient and employee safety, thereby helping to fulfill their legal responsibilities.
