Çalışmada, Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi hastanesi ve dekanlığında görev yapan büro çalışanlarında Kuru Göz Sendromu (KGS) sıklığının saptanması, ilişkili olduğu düşünülen bazı faktörlerin incelenmesi ve yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Bu çalışma, Ocak-Nisan 2017 yılında Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dekanlığı ve Sağlık, Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde görev yapan büro çalışanları arasında gerçekleştirilen kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 317 kişi çalışma grubunu oluşturdu. KGS varlığı ve şiddetinin değerlendirilmesinde Oküler Yüzey Hastalık İndeksi ölçeği (OSDİ), sağlıkla ilişkili yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde SF-36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeği kullanıldı. OSDİ ölçeğinden 13 ve üzeri puan alanlarda KGS olduğu kabul edildi. Çalışanların 89’u (%28.1) erkek, 228’i (%71.9) ise kadındır. Yaşları 22-63 arasında değişmekte olup, ortalaması 35,86 ± 8,11 yıl idi. Araştırmamızda büro çalışanlarında KGS görülme sıklığı %77.6 (n=246) olarak saptandı. Kadınlarda, hekim tanılı kronik hastalığı olanlarda, sürekli ilaç kullananlarda ve hekim tanılı başka bir göz hastalığı olanlarda KGS sıklığının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. KGS olanlarda SF-36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin bütün alt alanlarından alınan puan ortalamaları daha düşük idi. (Her alt alan için p≤0.05). OSDİ ölçeğinden alınan puanlar ile SF-36 ölçeğinin tüm alt alanlarından alınan puanlar arasında negatif yönde zayıf bir korelasyon saptandı. Büro çalışanlarında KGS önemli bir sağlık sorunu olduğu ve bu sendromun saptandığı kişilerde yaşam kalitesinin daha kötü olduğu görüldü. KGS’den korunma hususunda hastalık ile ilgili farkındalık ve ekranlı araçların doğru kullanımı ile ilgili bilgilendirme etkinliklerinin düzenlenmesi, hastalığın erken teşhisi için taramaların yapılması ve saptanan olguların uzman hekimlere yönlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
The study aimed at determining the frequency of Dry Eye Syndrome (KGS) in the office staff at the Eskişehir Osmangazi University Medical School Hospital and dekantia, the study of some factors considered to be related and the evaluation of the quality of life. This study is a cutting-edge study conducted in January-April 2017 between the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Eskişehir Osmangazi University and the office staff working at the Health, Application and Research Hospital. 317 people agreed to participate in the work group. In the assessment of the presence and severity of KGS, the ocular surface disease index scale (OSDI) and the health-related quality of life assessment used the SF-36 quality of life scale. It was recognized as KGS in areas of 13 and above points from the OSDI scale. 89 of the employees (28.1%) are men and 228 (71.9%) are women. Their ages vary between 22-63 and the average was 35.86 ± 8.11 years. In our study, the frequency of KGS in office employees was 77.6 % (n=246). It was found that in women with chronic illness diagnosed by the doctor, in persistent medication and in those with another eye illness diagnosed by the doctor, the frequency of KGS was higher. In the KGS, the scores received from all sub-sites of the SF-36 quality scale were lower than the average. (P≤0.05 for each subspace). There was a weak correlation in the negative direction between the scores obtained from the OSDI scale and the scores obtained from all sub-sites of the SF-36. The KGS was a major health problem in the office employees and the quality of life in those who were diagnosed with this syndrome was worse. The organization of information activities regarding the awareness of the disease and the correct use of screened vehicles in relation to the protection from the KGS is recommended, the scans are performed for the early diagnosis of the disease and the detected facts are directed to specialized doctors.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the prevalance of dry eye syndrome and evaluate the relationship with quality of life in the office workers in Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine. This is a cross-sectional study conducted between January-April 2017 in Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine. The study group consists of 317 office workers who are employees of Faculty of Medicine. The existence and level of dry eye syndrome was evaluated with The “Ocular Surface Disease Index“ (OSDI) and SF-36 quality of life scale were used to evaluate health-related quality of life. The people who scored 13 or more in OSDI scale were accepted as having dry eye syndrome. Of the employees, 89 (28.1%) were male and 228 (71.9%) were female. The ages ranged from 22 to 63 years, with a mean of 35.86 ± 8.11 years. The prevalence of dry eye syndrome was found as 77.6% (n = 246). The prevalence of dry eye syndrome was found to be higher in women, in patients with clinically diagnosed chronic disease, in continuous-drug use, and in the group having another diagnosed eye disease. The mean scores of all sub-scales of SF-36 quality of life scale were lower in patients with dry eye syndrome. (For each sub-scale p≤0.05). There was a weak negative correlation between the scores obtained from the OSDI scale and the scores obtained from all subfields of the SF-36 scale. Dry eye syndrome is an important health problem and the quality of life was found to be worse in people with this syndrome. It is recommended office workers has to be informed about disease for the prevention and about the correct use of displays. The screening of the office workers for the early diagnosis of the disease and directing the identified cases to the specialist physicians are also important.
