This study aims to evaluate hospital admissions and diagnoses nationwide and guide policies to improve patient admissions. Materials and Methods: All data on outpatient and inpatient treatment applications between 01.01.2016 and 31.12.2022 were examined retrospectively by examining the data of the national registry system. The diagnoses entered at each visit on these dates were classified according to ICD-10 and divided into 21 categories. Data related to specialty, hospital level and seasonal information of diagnoses were evaluated. Results: During the study period, 6,662,007,644 diagnoses were entered in hospital visits. While it was seen that the number of diagnoses entered increased gradually from 2016 to 2019, it was noted that there was a decrease in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The three most common diagnoses were musculoskeletal system diseases, circulatory system diseases, and diseases due to infectious causes. Infectious, eye, and gastrointestinal diseases were found to vary seasonally in the frequency of diagnosis. Conclusion: Evaluating seasonal and hospital-level patient applications is essential in establishing effective health policies. Raising awareness of patients and increasing the number of health personnel is necessary to use health services effectively.","PeriodicalId":30639,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Medical Journal","volume":"284 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135840528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: 222 family medicine assistants studying in hospitals affiliated with the University of Health Sciences within the borders of Ankara province participated in the research online. The socio-demographic characteristics of the residents participating in the study were accepted as independent variables, and the Turkish version of the Health Professionals Communication Skills Scale (HP-CSS-TR) was considered as the dependent variable. Results: The mean age o f the participants was 22.13±2.25 years. The assista nt seniority level of the participants was 1.77±1.39 years. 80.63% of the participants reported having problems with the patients and their relatives. 99.55% stated that they encountered difficult patients or their relatives. In our study, family medicine clinical assistants' communication, empathy, respect and social skills were high. Senior participants had better communication levels (p=0.011). Conclusion: In our study, we found that family medicine residents have high communication skills, but they expressed that they have difficulties communicating with patients and wanted to receive communication training to improve their communication skills and cope with difficult patients. Giving feedback by measuring the communication skills of young assistants who are new to the profession should be included in our assistant training practice as a standard first-step assessment of the profession.","PeriodicalId":30639,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Medical Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135841629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between 2000 and 2020 by examining 1628 dissertations in the field of family medicine specialization. In the first process, information regarding the dissertation was recorded. In the second process, the conversion of dissertations into articles was evaluated. The journal indexes, Q classification and citation numbers of the dissertations publications were determined. Results: 1009 (61.98%) of the students were female. 977 (60.01%) of the dissertations belonged to university hospitals. The number of dissertations in which the title of advisor associate professor was 579 (35.56%). Preventive health services were the most frequently selected topic in the dissertations (8.66%). Descriptive/cross-sectional studies were the most preferred research type, with 1414 (86.85%) dissertations. Project support, laboratory, and radiological tests have decreased significantly over the years (p<0.05). 458 (28.13%) of the dissertations were published in any journal. Considering the databases of the publications, 92 (20.09%) were published in SCI/SCI-Expanded. Conclusion: About a quarter of the theses have been published in any journal, and there has been a noticeable increase in publications in international indexes in recent years. Theses with research type of case-control, intervention, laboratory and radiologic test use were more likely to be published. Concordantly, it is advised to give precedence to studies situated higher on the evidence pyramid, allocate sufficient funds to finance research, and increase backing for projects.","PeriodicalId":30639,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Medical Journal","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135841628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
