چکیده

مقدمه: مراجعه­ به‌موقع جهت تشخیص و درمان زگیل تناسلی در جلوگیری از انتقال بیماری اهمیت دارد، لذا شناسایی عوامل تأثیرگذار دموگرافیک- اجتماعی و مامایی بر تأخیر در کمک جویی بیمار حائز اهمیت است. مطالعه حاضر با هدف بررسی ارتباط بین عوامل دموگرافیک، اجتماعی و مامایی با تأخیر در کمک‌جویی بیماران مبتلا به زگیل تناسلی انجام شد.
روش‌کار: این مطالعه توصیفی- تحلیلی در سال 1398 بر روی 130 نفر از زنان مبتلا به زگیل تناسلی مراجعه‌کننده به درمانگاه زنان بیمارستان الزهراء (س) شهر رشت انجام شد. معیارهای ورود به مطالعه شامل: تأیید تشخیص زگیل تناسلی بر اساس معاینه بالینی و بررسی­های آزمایشگاهی و گذشتن حداکثر 6 ماه از تشخیص بیماری بود. ابزار گردآوری داده­ها شامل: فرم مشخصات دموگرافیک- اجتماعی، مامایی و پرسشنامه محقق‌ساخته برای ارزیابی تأخیر بیمار بود. تأخیر بیشتر از 7 روز در مراجعه جهت تشخیص قطعی و درمان، به‌عنوان تأخیر در کمک­جویی بیمار در نظر گرفته­ شد. تجزیه و تحلیل داده­ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SPSS (نسخه21) و آزمون­های کای دو، فیشر، من‌ویتنی و رگرسیون لجستیک انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنی‌دار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته­ها: از 130 فرد شرکت‌کننده، 94 نفر (72%) با تأخیر در کمک‌جویی بیشتر از 7 روز مراجعه کرده بودند. در متغیرهای سابقه سقط، نوع اولین علامت تشخیصی و درمان دریافت شده، اختلاف آماری معناداری بین دو گروه مشاهده شد (05/0>p). بر اساس نتایج آنالیز رگرسیون لوجستیک، متغیرهای سابقه عفونت زنان (40/9-08/1، 95%:CI، 187/3=OR)، نوع محل سکونت (وضعیت اقتصادی) (31/9-02/1، 95%:CI، 08/3=OR) و سابقه سقط بر تأخیر در کمک­جویی (63/15-30/1، 95%:CI، 51/4=OR) نقش پیشگویی‌کننده داشت.
نتیجه‌گیری: بین متغیرهای سابقه عفونت زنان، وضعیت اقتصادی و سابقه سقط با تأخیر در کمک‌جویی جهت تشخیص و درمان زگیل تناسلی ارتباط وجود دارد. لذا ارائه‌دهندگان خدمت بایستی در برخورد و آموزش زنان با وضعیت اجتماعی اقتصادی پایین، دارای سابقه عفونت زنان و زنان بدون تجربه سقط و نولی‌پار دقت بیشتری داشته باشند.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: It is important to timely refer in order to diagnosis and treatment of genital warts and preventing disease transmission. Therefore, identifying the socio-demographic and obstetric effective factors is important in the delay of patient's seeking-help. The present study was performed aimed to investigate the relationship between demographic, social and obstetric factors with seeking-help delay in patients with genital warts.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed in 2019 on 130 women with genital warts referred to the gynecology clinic of Al-Zahra Hospital in Rasht. Inclusion criteria were confirmation of the diagnosis of genital wart based on clinical examination and laboratory tests and a maximum of six months after diagnosis. Data collection tools included socio-demographic form, midwifery form and a researcher-made questionnaire to assess patient’s delay. A delay of more than 7 days in referral for definitive diagnosis and treatment was considered as a delay in patient's seeking help. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 21) and Chi-square, Fisher, Mann-Whitney tests and logistic regression. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Among 130 participant, 94 (72%) had more than 7 days delay. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups in the variables of history of abortion, type of first diagnostic symptom and type of treatment received (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the variables of history of gynecological infection (CI 95%: 1.08-9.40, OR=3.187), type of residence place (economic status) (CI 95%: 1.02-9.31, OR=3.08) and history of abortion (CI 95%: 1.30-15.63, OR=4.51) have a predictive role in help-seeking delay.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between the variables of history of gynecological infection, economic status and history of abortion with delay in seeking help for diagnosis and treatment of genital warts. Therefore, health care providers should be more careful in dealing with and educating low socioeconomic status women, patients with a history of infection and women without experience of abortion and nulliparous.
