Perspectives of Emergency Department Staff on Triage Practice

Öz:

Amaç: Üniversite hastaneleriyle ortak hizmet veren Sağlık Bakanlığı Hastaneleri'nde triaj hizmeti vermesi planlanan personelin eğitim öncesinde bu uygulamaya bakış açısının değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya gönüllü 33 çalışan dahil edildi. Anket formu sosyo-demografik bilgiler, acil sağlık hizmetleri ve triaja ilişkin konularda görüş isteyen 19 sorudan oluşan yargısal anket ölçeğiyle hazırlanmıştır. Bulgular: Örneklem grubunun %75,8'i kadın ve yaş ortalaması 28,94±6,11 idi. Çalışmaya dahil olan tüm katılımcılar acil servisin toplum tarafından gereksiz kullanıldığını belirtti. Acil servise herhangi bir nedenle başvuran hastaların ne kadarının acil kriterlerine uygun olduğu sorgulandığında ise %54,5 katılımcı bu oranın %10 ve daha az olduğunu bildirildi. Grubun %54,5'i, triaj uygulamasının acil servis kalabalığını azaltacağını düşünmekteydi.Sonuç: Triajın acil serviste uygulanması hem öncelikli hastaların bakımı hem de sağlık çalışanlarının sunduğu hizmetin kalitesini açısından önemlidir. Bu konuda çalışanların eğitimi kadar toplumsal bazlı bilgilendirmenin de yapılması gerekmektedir.

Öz:

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate pre-training perspectives of the staff, who were scheduled to undertake triage in hospitals of Ministry of Health, working in collaboration with university hospitals on the triage system.Materials and Methods: This study included 33 workers who volunteered to participate. A questionnaire consisting of 19 questions on demographic characteristics and perspective on triage system was prepared. Results: Of the sample group, 75.8% were female and the average age was 28.94±6.11 years. All participants in the study considered that emergency department was overused by the society. When the percentage of patients who were admitted to the emergency department for causes complying with the emergency criteria was questioned, 54.5% stated that 10% or less of the admissions were actual emergency cases. Triage practice was suggested by 54.5% of the participants to reduce crowding in emergency departments. Conclusion: Triage practice which allows correct identification of patients who need the most urgent intervention in emergency departments is important in terms of both giving the right care to the right patients and quality of service provided by healthcare workers. Community-based education as well as training of workers on this subject is a necessity.
