Romatolojik fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon hastalarin yasam kalitesini iyilestirmek, semptomlari ve sakatliklari azaltmak icin onemlidir. Karmasikligi ve etkinligi goz onune alindiginda ulkemizde bu alandaki farkindaligin artirilmasi esastir. Bu nedenle bu arastirmanin amaci Aralik 2016–Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasinda Gazi Universitesi Egitim ve Arastirma Hastanesi Romatoloji Bilim Dali yatakli servis ve polikliniginde hizmet veren Romatolojik Rehabilitasyon Unitesine romatologlar tarafindan yonlendirilen hastalarin profillerinin retrospektif olarak incelenmesidir. Hastalarin demografik bilgileri, tanilari, hastalik sureleri ve komorbiditeleri kaydedildi. Arastirmaya ayaktan (n=312, %77) ve yatarak (n=91, %23) fizyoterapi alan toplam 403 hasta dahil edildi. Ayaktan fizyoterapi alan hastalarin cogunlugunu %51 oraniyla ankilozan spondilit tanisi konmus hastalar, yatarak tedavi alan hastalarin cogunlugunu %35,2 oraniyla sistemik skleroz tanisi konmus hastalar olusturdu. Hastalarin %78,7’si (n=317) kas-iskelet sistemi problemleri nedeniyle, %21,3’u (n=86) ise kardiyopulmoner sistem problemleri nedeniyle unitemize fizyoterapi programi icin yonlendirildi. Hastanede yatan hasta olarak konsulte edilen hastalarin %62,6’si (n=57) kardiyopulmoner sistem problemleri nedeniyle fizyoterapiye yonlendirildi. Calismanin sonucunda kas-iskelet sistemi problemi one cikan hastalarin sayisinin fazla oldugunu gormekteyiz fakat fizyoterapistler kas-iskelet sistemi problemlerinin yaninda diger sistemler ile ilgili bulgulara yonelik tedavileri de duzenleyebilmektedir. Fizyoterapistlere hasta konsulte eden romatologlarin bu konudaki farkindalik duzeylerinin artirilmasiyla daha fazla hastanin fizyoterapi hizmetine ulasabilecegini dusunmekteyiz. Rheumatologic physiotherapy and rehabilitation is important in order to improve the quality of life and reduce symptoms and disability in patients. Given its complexity and effectiveness, it is essential to raise awareness in this area in our country. Therefore, the aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate the profiles of patients referred to the Rheumatologic Rehabilitation Unit of the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences, which serves in the inpatient service and outpatient clinic of the Rheumatology Department of Gazi University Training and Research Hospital. A total of 403 patients receiving outpatient (n=312, 77%) and inpatient (n=91, 23%) physiotherapy were included in the study. Demographic information, diagnosis, duration of disease and comorbidity of patients were recorded. The majority of patients receiving outpatient physiotherapy were diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis with 51%, and the majority of patients receiving inpatient treatment with systemic sclerosis with 35%. 78.7% (n=317) of the patients were referred to our unit for physiotherapy program due to musculoskeletal problems and 21.3% (n=86) due to cardiopulmonary system problems. 62.6% (n=57) of the patients who were consulted as hospitalized patients were referred to physiotherapy due to cardiopulmonary system problems. As a result of the study, it is found that the number of patients with prominent musculoskeletal problems is high, but physiotherapists can arrange treatments for findings related to other systems as well as musculoskeletal problems. We think that by increasing the awareness levels of rheumatologists who consult patients for physiotherapists, more patients can reach physiotherapy services.
