We aimed to determine the violence against general practitioners (GPs) through their suggestions on its cause and prevention. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study based on self-administered questionnaire answered by a convenience study population consisting of 522 GPs between November and December 2006. Of the participating GPs, 82.8% reported that they experienced violence. They reported 1,020 events, and verbal form was the most common form (89.3%). Verbal and sexual violence were seen more frequently among women, whereas physical and economic violence were more frequent with men. Perpetrators were patients and/or their relatives in 91.1% of the events. However, they were colleagues and superiors in 67.9% of the economic and sexual violence events. Violence against GPs warrants more attention. For its prevention, there is a need of continuous professional, administrative, and legal support from the government along with systematic, coordinated implementations independent from daily political concerns.
Amaç: Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından dünyanın en hızlı yayılan ve en uzun süren salgını olarak tanımlanan sigara içimi hekimler arasında olduğu kadar hekim adayları arasında da oldukça yaygındır. Gereç ve Bulgular:Öğrenciler arasında sigara içme sıklığı %29.1'dir. Günde içilen ortalama sigara sayısı 14.13±6.67 olarak bulunmuştur. Sigaraya başlama yaşı 17.18±2.77 yıldır. Düzenli sigara içen 110 öğrencinin sigaraya başlama nedenleri arasında ilk sırayı "çevre ve arkadaş ortamı" almaktadır. Bu öğrencilerden 63'ü en az bir kez sigarayı bırakmayı denemiş, %10'u yüksek, %32.7'si orta ve %16.4'ü hafif düzeyde bağımlı bulunmuştur. Erkek öğrencilerin sadece bedensel alan puanları kız öğrencilere göre anlamlı (p=0.025) olarak daha yüksektir. Sigara içen öğrencilerin tüm alanlarda puanları düşük bulunurken, bu durum ruhsal (p=0.045) ve çevresel alanlarda (p=0.010 ve p=0.003) anlamlıdır. Nikotin bağımlılığı olan öğrencilerin yaşam kalitesinin tüm alanlarında düşük puan aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum ruhsal (p=0.039) ve sosyal (p=0.039) alanlarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Material and Method:This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study to determine the tobacco smoking and its effect on the quality of life of medical students in Ondokuz Mayıs University.
