Amaç: İnsan İmmün Yetmezlik Virüsü (HIV), bağışıklık sistem hücrelerini hedef alarak enfeksiyon oluşturan ve enfeksiyon ilerlediğinde Edinilmiş İmmün Yetmezlik Sendromuna (AIDS) neden olabilen bir virüstür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Diş Hekimlerinin HIV/AIDS hastalığının olası bulaş yolları, HIV’nin bulunabileceği vücut sıvıları ve HIV/AIDS’in ağız içi belirtileri ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerini saptamak, bilgiye ulaşım yollarını belirlemek, hastalara karşı tutum ve farkındalıklarını değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: SurveyMonkey anket sistemi ile 17 soruluk anket hazırlandı. Hazırlanmış olan link, Diş hekimlerine mail, cep telefonu ve sosyal paylaşım üzerinden gönderilerek yanıtlanması istendi. Anketi yanıtlayan 180 hekimin cevapları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Anketi cevaplayan Diş hekimlerinin %73'ü kadın, %43’ü 31-40 yaş aralığında idi. HIV/AIDS hastalarının ağız lezyonları hakkında bilgileri sorulduğunda %39,6'sı oral candidiazis olarak yanıtladı. HIV/AIDS bilgi düzeyini ölçen sorularda %28,4'ü HIV ve AIDS’in aynı tanım olmadığını %99’u korunmasız cinsel ilişki, kan teması ve kesici delici aletlerle yaralanma ile bulaş olduğunu bilmekteydi. Önemli bir oranda diş hekimi idrar ve tükürük ile bardak, havlu gibi ortak kullanılan malzemelerle de bulaştığını ifade etmişlerdi. HIV enfekte hasta ile ilgili tutumları değerlendirildiğinde, katılımcıların yarısından fazlası çekinmeden tedavi yaparım olarak yanıtlamıştı. Hastalardan kendilerine HIV bulaşma endişesi olup olmadığı sorulduğunda, %40’ı evet yanıtını vermişlerdi. HIV/AIDS hakkındaki bilgilerini en çok fakültede (%85) ve yazılı kaynaklardan (%56,1) edindiğini ifade etmişlerdi. Diş hekimlerinin %73,3’ü HIV/AIDS ve oral lezyonlar hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadıklarını ve bilgilerinin güncellenmesini istediklerini belirtmişlerdi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda diş hekimlerinin bilgi düzeyinin genel olarak kabul edilebilir olmasına rağmen, HIV'in bulaş yolları konusunda yanlış bilgi ve tutum olduğu görülmüştür. Mezuniyet sonrası sahada çalışan diş hekimlerine yönelik bilgilerin güncellenmesinin önemli olduğu düşünülmüştür.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that causes infection by targeting the cells of the immune system and can cause Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) when infection progresses. The aim of this study is to identify dental doctors’ level of information about the possible pathways of HIV/AIDS disease, the body fluids in which HIV may be found and the oral symptoms of HIV/AIDS, to identify the ways of communication of information, to evaluate their attitudes and awareness to patients. Tools and Methods: SurveyMonkey survey system has prepared 17 queries. The prepared link was asked to be answered by sending the dentists via mail, mobile phone and social sharing. The survey was evaluated by 180 doctors. Results: 73% of the dentists who responded to the survey were women and 43% were between 31 and 40 years of age. When HIV/AIDS patients were asked for information about oral injury, 39.6 percent responded with oral candidosis. In questions measuring HIV/AIDS level of information, 28.4 percent knew that HIV and AIDS were not the same definition and 99 percent knew that they were infected with injuries by unprotected sexual intercourse, blood contact and cutting-edge tools. In a significant proportion, the dentist said that it was infected with urine and sputum and commonly used materials such as glasses, towels. When the attitudes of the HIV infected patient were evaluated, more than half of the participants responded as taking treatment without hesitation. When the patients were asked if they were concerned about HIV infection, 40% responded yes. They said their information about HIV/AIDS was obtained in many faculties (85%) and from written sources (56.1). 73.3% of their dentists said they don’t have sufficient information about HIV/AIDS and oral injuries and they want their information to be updated. In our study, although the level of knowledge of dentists is generally acceptable, it has been found that there are misconceptions and attitudes about HIV’s pathways. It is considered to be important to update the information on the dentists who work in the field after graduation.
Objective: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that can cause Infectious Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) when it infects infections by targeting immune system cells and the infection progresses. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge level of the dentists about the possible transmission of HIV / AIDS, the body fluids of HIV and the oral symptoms of HIV / AIDS, to determine the means of access to information, and to evaluate their attitudes and awareness towards patients. Methods: A questionnaire with 17 items was developed through Survey Monkey system. The link of this questionnaire was sent to dentists through e-mail, SMS, or social networking sites, and they were asked to fill out the questionnaire. 180 dentists filling out the questionnaire were taken as the data collection group. Results: Of the dentists participating in the study, 73% of them were females, and 43% of them were between 31 and 40 ages. Considering the items on oral lesions of HIV / AIDS patients, 39.8% of them responded as oral candidiasis. In questions that measure the level of HIV / AIDS knowledge; 28.4% knew that HIV and AIDS were not the same definition, 99% were infected with unprotected sexual intercourse, blood contact and stab wounds. A significant proportion of dentists; and urine and saliva, cups, towels, as well as common materials used to be infected. When the attitudes of the HIV infected patient were evaluated, more than half of the respondents answered without hesitation. When the patients were asked if they were worried about HIV infection, 40% answered yes. They stated that they got their knowledge about HIV / AIDS mostly in the faculty (85%) and written sources (56.1%). 73.3% of the dentists stated that they did not have enough information about HIV / AIDS and oral lesions and they wanted their information to be updated. Conclusion: Although the knowledge level of the dentists in our study was generally acceptable, it was observed that there was misinformation and attitude about the transmission routes of HIV. It is thought that updating the information about the dentists working in the field after graduation is important.
