ABSTRACT
 Objective: Family health center employees are aware and knowledgeable about musculoskeletal problems, and it is crucial to show the patient with the problem that they are knowledgeable and to use patient-centered approaches when planning the treatment. The present study aimed to examine the awareness of health professionals working in family healthcare centers about neck and back health. Material and Methods: This study was performed with 60 healthcare professionals working in six different primary health centers affiliated with the General Directorate of Public Health of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Türkiye. The sociodemographic information form and Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (PABS-TR) were used in the study. Results: 70% (n=42) of the health professionals participating in the study were women. The mean value of the working time of the individuals was 16.33±10.13 years (1-37), and it was 6.44±5.16 (1-24) years in their current institution. 36.6% (n=22) of the participants were family physicians, and 63.4% (n=38) were other health professionals. The average score of PABS-TR was 52.88±9.42. Conclusion: This study revealed that primary healthcare professionals had high rates of awareness of neck and back health. In future studies, we think it is critical to control the reflection of this awareness of applicants with neck and back pain with a satisfaction scale.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Aile sağlığı merkezi çalışanlarının kas-iskelet sistemi sorunları konusunda bilinçli ve bilgili olmaları bu konuda sorunu olan hastaya bilgili olduklarını göstermeleri ve tedaviyi planlarken hasta merkezli yaklaşımları kullanmaları önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, aile sağlığı merkezlerinde görev yapan sağlık çalışanlarının boyun ve sırt sağlığı konusundaki farkındalıklarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Sağlık Bakanlığı Halk Sağlığı Genel Müdürlüğüne bağlı altı farklı birinci basamak sağlık merkezinde görev yapan 60 sağlık çalışanı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, sosyodemografik bilgi formu ve Ağrı Tutum ve İnançları Ölçeği (ATİÖ) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan sağlık çalışanlarının %70'i (n=42) kadındı. Bireylerin ortalama çalışma süresi değeri 16,33±10,13 yıl (1-37), şu an çalıştıkları kurumda 6,44±5,16 (1-24) yıl idi. Katılımcıların %36,6'sı (n=22) aile hekimi, %63,4'ü (n=38) ise diğer sağlık çalışanlarıydı. ATİÖ'nün ortalama puanı 52,88±9,42 idi. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, birinci basamak sağlık çalışanlarının boyun ve sırt sağlığı farkındalığının yüksek olduğu ortaya çıktı. Bundan sonraki çalışmalarda boyun ve sırt ağrısı şikâyeti ile başvuran adaylarda bu farkındalığın yansımalarının bir memnuniyet ölçeği ile kontrol edilmesinin kritik olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
