Abstract:

 ABSTRACT This research aims to measure the knowledge and awareness levels of individuals over the age of 18 about cardiovascular risk factors who apply to a family health center. The population of the descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of all individuals aged 18 and over who applied to the family health center for any reason between April 1 and June 30, 2023, and the sample consisted of 265 volunteer individuals who agreed to participate in the study. The data of the study were collected by face-to-face interview method using the Introductory Information Form and the Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Factors Knowledge Level CARRF-KL scale. In addition, within the scope of the study, the blood pressure of the participants was measured and the results were recorded. 45.3 of the participants are between the ages of 26-35, 60 are women, 24.5 are university graduates or above, 68.7 are married and 75.8 live in the district. It was observed that the CARRF-KL mean total scores of the individuals participating in the study were lower in the 19-25 age group compared to the other groups, and the CARRF-KL mean total scores of those who graduated from university and above were higher than those who were illiterate, middle school and high school graduates, and this difference was significant. p0.05. Individuals cardiovascular disease risk awareness levels directly affect the rate of contracting diseases.

 Bu Araştırma bir aile sağlığı merkezine başvuru yapan 18 yaş üstü bireylerin kardiyovasküler hastalıklara sebep olan risk faktörleri hakkındaki bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerini ölçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel nitelikteki araştırmanın evrenini 1 Nisan-30 Haziran 2023 tarih aralıklarında aile sağlığı merkezine herhangi bir sebep nedeniyle başvuran 18 yaş ve üzeri tüm bireyler, örneklemini ise çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 265 gönüllü birey oluşturdu. Araştırmanın verileri Tanıtıcı Bilgiler Formu ve Kardiyovasküler Hastalıklar Risk Faktörleri Bilgi Düzeyi KARRİF-BD ölçeği kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplandı. Ayrıca çalışma kapsamında katılımcıların tansiyonları ölçülerek sonuçlar kaydedildi. Katılımcıların 45.3ü 26-35 yaş aralığında, 60ı kadın, 24.5i üniversite ve üzeri mezunu, 68.7si evli ve 75.8i ilçede yaşamaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin KARRİF-BD toplam puan ortalamalarının; 19-25 yaş grubunda olanlarda diğer gruplara oranla daha düşük olduğu, üniversite ve üzeri mezun olanların KARRİF-BD toplam puan ortalamalarının okuryazar olmayanlara, ortaokul ve lise mezununa göre daha yüksek olduğu ve bu farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu saptandı p0.05. Bireylerin kardiyovasküler hastalık riski farkındalık düzeyleri hastalıklara yakalanma oranını doğrudan etkilemektedir.
