Item Analysis of Quality of Life, Depression, and Sexual Function in Patients on the Liver Transplant List(2021) Fidan, Cihan; Akdur, Aydincan; Kirnap, Mahir; Selcuk, Haldun; Yildirim, Sedat; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0002-8726-3369; 34609310; AAJ-8097-2021; AAA-3068-2021Background: I he only treatment in patients developing liver failure is liver transplantation. According to the Ministry of Health, the number of patients waiting for a liver transplantation is 2141, the average waiting period for liver transplantation is approximately 5 years, and 15-18% of these patients lose their life while waiting for transplantation. In these patients, limitations in daily activities and depression-anxiety are commonly found. The aim of this study was to analyze life quality, depression symptoms, and existence of sexual functional disorders of patients waiting for liver transplantation. Methods: A total of 74 patients, who were registered in Baskent University Hospital between 2015 and 2018, were included into the study. Short Form-36, Beck Depression Inventory, and Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale were applied to 56 patients who approved study. Results: Most of the patients were male (64.3%), and the mean age was 46 (18-64). Short Form-36 scores were low in all patients. The mean Beck Depression Inventory score of patients was found as 18.4 +/- 11.3, and they were suffering from moderate depressive symptoms. According to Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, total mean scores of males was found as 16.3 +/- 5.5, and for females, it was 19.5 +/- 5.3 with a statistically significant difference (P < .05). It was found that sexual dysfunction mostly had moderate to mild. Conclusion: Depression and sexual dysfunction are common in patients with chronic liver diseases, and their life qualities deteriorate significantly. It is anticipated that evaluation of these patients in terms of psychological issues and sexual dysfunction will increase their quality of life during the organ waiting period and affect their well-being post-transplant.Item Relationship Among Coping Strategies, Quality of Life, and Anxiety and Depressive Disorders in Hemodialysis Patients(2019) Ulusoy, Selen Isik; Kal, Oznur; 0000-0003-2550-8989; 31233289Patients with hemodialysis face many physical and emotional stressors; yet little is known regarding coping strategies and their effects on patients' quality of life (QOL) and anxiety and depressive disorders. A total of 117 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study between October 2016 and April 2017. This study assessed QOL (Medical outcome short form 36-MOS 36), coping (Assessment Scale for Coping Attitudes-COPE) and psychiatric comorbidities in hemodialysis patients. Beck Depression Scale and Beck Anxiety Scale were also applied. Differences between groups were evaluated using Student's t-tests and anova. Correlations among parameters were performed. Patients with any depressive disorder (22.2%, n = 26) and patients with any anxiety disorder (19.6%, n = 23) reported more impaired QOL. The most frequently used coping strategy in all patients was religious coping. Use of instrumental social support, humor, and positive reinterpretation scores were lower in patients with any depressive disorder (P = 0.009, P = 0.034, P = 0.047).The total score of emotion-focused coping strategies was lower with patients with any depressive disorder (P = 0.021) and emotion-focused coping strategies were positively correlated with QOL scores. Younger age and longer duration of hemodialysis have significant negative correlation with emotion-focused coping strategies' total score (P = 0.01, P = 0.02). Patients with hemodialysis use variety of coping strategies. The use of emotion-focused coping was associated with better QOL and reducing the risk of depressive disorder. Interventions to facilitate the use of adaptive coping strategies may improve patients' QOL and mood.Item The relationship between quality of life and anthropometric measurements in premenopausal and postmenopausal among turkish women(2019) Kose, Beril; Yesil, Esen; Turker, Perim Fatma; Ok, Mehtap Akcil; Bayram, Sinem; Beyaz, Esra Koseler; Ozdemir, Merve; Muftuoglu, Selen; Tayfur, Muhittin; Aksoydan, Emine; Ercan, Aydan; Saka, Mendane; Kiziltan, Gul; 0000-0003-1569-7747; AAG-6763-2020The aim of this work was to investigate whether there is a relationship between anthropometric measurements and quality of life scores during pre and postmenopouse period. A descriptive study was carried out on 1276 women (40-64 years). Demographic features, socioeconomic attributes and anthropometric measurements were considered using a validated instrument the Turkish version of the EUROHIS (WHOQOL-8.Tr) was performed. Significant body mass index (BMI), height, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist/ height ratio differences were determined by comparing pre and postmenopausal women (p <0.05). Significantly lower quality of life scores were observed in premenopausal women (p<0.05). BMI was determined as significant predictor for quality of life for each group. The number of pregnancy, number of live birth, number of stillbirth and waist/height ratio did not show significant association with quality of life. The age of first pregnancy was stated as significant predictor for quality of life just for premenopausal women. In our study, quality of life increased as the BMI decreased in pre and postmenopausal women. Significantly lower WHO-8 EUROHIS scores were observed in premenopausal women. The age of first pregnancy affected the life quality in positive way in just premenopausal women. As the age of first pregnancy increased, quality of life score increased in premenopausal women.Item Effects of Thoracic Mobilization Techniques on Pulmonary Functions, Dyspnea and Health Status in Patients with Asthma(2019) Duruturk, Neslihan; Ozdemir, Furkan; Gunaydin, Buse; Alaca, Sevin; Bulbul, Saliha BesteItem Functional Status in Turkish Women with Gynecological Cancer(2014) Akkuzu, Gulcihan; Talas, Melek Serpil; Ortac, FiratBackground: Functional status is the ability to perform daily activities. Little is known about quality of life and health status of gynaecological cancer patients. The present study therefore aimed to evaluate the functional status of women receiving treatment for gynecological oncological disease while not hospitalised. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study covered 42 patients monitored by the Gynecological Oncology Unit in 2011. Data were collected using the Functional Living Index-Cancer and analysed with the chi square test, independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, one-way ANOVA test and the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results: Of the 42 cases, 66.7% had been diagnosed within the previous year and 90.5% were undergoing chemotherapy. The most severe symptoms experienced were pain (35.7%), fatigue-weakness (40.5%) and nausea and vomiting (56.5%). Daily activities where the most difficulty was experienced were housework (28.6%), average pace walking (31.0%), carrying more than 5 kg (28.6%). The mean Functional Living Index score was quite high (103.5 +/- 24.1). FLIC-C scale scores did not vary with the educational status, diagnosis duration, and family history of cancer (p>0.05). Conclusions: Evaluation of the functional status of gynecological cancer patients and how they cope with problems should indicate to healthcare professionals what help can be given to maintain quality of life.Item Activity performance problems of patients with cardiac diseases and their impact on quality of life(2015) Duruturk, Neslihan; Tonga, Eda; Karatas, Metin; Doganozu, Ersin; 26311919[Purpose] To describe the functional consequences of patients with cardiac diseases and analyze associations between activity limitations and quality of life. [Subjects and Methods] Seventy subjects (mean age: 60.1+/-12.0 years) were being treated by Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Cardiology Departments were included in the study. Activity limitations and participation restrictions as perceived by the individual were measured by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living (NEADL) Scale was used to describe limitations in daily living activities. To detect the impact of activity limitations on quality of life the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was used. [Results] The subjects described 46 different types of problematic activities. The five most identified problems were walking (45.7%), climbing up the stairs (41.4%), bathing (30%), dressing (28.6%) and outings (27.1%). The associations between COPM performance score with all subgroups of NEADL and NHP; total, energy, physical abilities subgroups, were statistically significant. [Conclusion] Our results showed that patients with cardiac diseases reported problems with a wide range of activities, and that also quality of life may be affected by activities of daily living. COPM can be provided as a patient-focused outcome measure, and it may be a useful tool for identifying those problems.
