Bu çalışma kemoterapi alan akciğer kanserli hastaların deneyimledikleri tat değişikliklerini değerlendirmek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel olarak planlanan bu çalışma İstanbul ilinde bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinin kemoterapi ünitesinde Aralık 2020-Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri tanımlayıcı bilgi formu ve Kemoterapiye Bağlı Tat Alma Değişikliği Ölçeğiyle toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Akciğer kanserli hastaların % 62.3'ünün tat değişikliği deneyimlediği, % 68.6' sının tat değişikliğine yönelik sağlık profesyonellerinden bilgi almadığı, %35.8'inin tat değişimini metalik tat olarak tanımladığı, %35.8'inin tat değişikliğiyle baş etme yöntemi olarak yemekleri soğuk yedikleri saptanmıştır. Hastaların CiTAS ölçeğinin temel tatlarda azalma alt boyut ortalamasının 2.49±1.39; rahatsızlık alt boyut ortalamasının ve paraguzi and fantoguzi alt boyut ortalamasının 2.48±1.35; genel tat değişikliği alt boyut ortalamasının ise 2.49±1.36 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmada kemoterapi alan akciğer kanserli hastaların yarıdan fazlasının tat değişikliklerini deneyimlediği, orta şiddette tat duyusunda değişiklik ve rahatsızlık yaşadıkları ve en çok tanımladıkları tat değişikliğinin metalik tat olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda sağlık profesyonellerinin akciğer kanserli hastaların yaşadıkları tat değişikliklerini farkında olması, niteliğini ve şiddetini değerlendirmesi, takip etmesi ve buna yönelik gerektiğinde interdisipliner yaklaşımla önleyici ve tedavi edici girişimlerde bulunması önerilmektedir.

Introduction:The present study was planned and carried out as a descriptive and cross-sectional study for determining the Type 2 diabetes risks and healthy lifestyle behaviors of first year university students. Material and Methods:The study was carried with 185 students at a foundation university in Istanbul during the dates of November-December 2019. The data were acquired online via Student Information Form, Type 2 Diabetes Questionnaire (FINDRİSK) and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale. Results:The mean age of the students in the study was 19.79±2.47 years, 53.5 % (n=99) were male, 29.7 % (n=55 previously graduated from another university, 62.1 % (n=115) were students and it was determined that 50.3 % (n=93) had diabetic relatives. It was observed when the diabetes risk status was examined for all participants that they are in the low risk group due to a FINDRISK total score of <7. Conclusion:The study results emphasize the importance of determining the risk for university students to be diabetic in the next decade, putting forth the individuals with high risk and moving onto the next stage for diagnosis. In addition, it has been determined that the level of knowledge of students may have a positive impact on their healthy lifestyle behaviors.
