Résumé
This study aims to evaluate the awareness and approaches of all family physicians from one province in Turkey regarding occupational diseases. This study is a cross-sectional, descriptive study. A questionnaire was applied to family physicians between November 2018 and February 2019. The questionnaire investigates family physicians' knowledge, attitude, behavior, proficiency, and approaches to occupational diseases. Three hundred twenty four family physicians participated in our study. 59.3% had received training on occupational diseases and only 22.9% of these physicians indicated that this training was adequate. Physicians identified "lack of occupational anamnesis" as the most common reason behind the underreporting of occupational diseases, and "difficulties in identifying occupational diseases" as the second. Family physicians believe that they inadequately evaluate occupational diseases and find the occupational disease-related training to be insufficient.
