Item Evaluation of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge Levels of Physiotherapists in Turkey(2023) Kilic, Rabia Tugba; Mese Buranse, Melike; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; 0000-0001-7356-8500; IVH-4699-2023Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge level of physiotherapists working in Turkey about Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).Methods: It is a cross-sectional study conducted between August and October 2021. Data were collected by sending an online questionnaire form to a total of 275 physiotherapists, 164 (59.63%) male and 111 (40.37%) female, who agreed to participate in the study. In order to evaluate the level of CPR knowledge, the questionnaire prepared by taking the 2010 American Heart Association-European Resuscitation Council CPR guideline as a guide, consists of 26 questions and is self-administered.In the first part of the questionnaire, 5 questions containing personal information (age, gender, institution of employment, duration of employment, etc.); in the second part, there are 12 questions on the perception of CPR training and its value, and in the third part, 10 questions aiming to measure the current knowledge level about CPR. In the CPR knowledge score, 0-5 points range was evaluated as low, 6-10 point range was evaluated as high.Results: The most work setting was the hospital (41.50%) and the main scope of work was the musculoskeletal system (37.80%). While the rate of those who encountered a CA case anywhere was 28.40%, this rate was 20.70% in the work setting. Most of the participants (67.30%) had received CPR training. While 59.50% of those who received training found the training incompetent in CPR practice, 71.90% found themselves. CPR certificate was not related to field of study, age, gender and years of experience (p > 0.005). The rate of CPR certification among those working at the hospital was higher than those working at the university(p=0.014). The mean theoretical CPR knowledge score was 5 +/- 0.12, which showed that CPR knowledge levels were low.CPR knowledge score; It was higher in those who received CPR training than those who did not, and those who considered themselves competent in CPR practice compared to those who did not see it as sufficient (p=0.001).Conclusion: Our results showed that the majority of physiotherapists have CPR certification, but the majority of those with CPR certification have insufficient knowledge of CPR and feel incompotent in this regard.Future research that wishes to better evaluate the practice of CPR should evaluate physical therapists' actual CPR competence with hands-on methods rather than a theoretical assessment.Item Physiotherapist-Patient Interaction: A Qualitative Analysis(2021) Yilli, Sercan; Sogut, Bensu; Kalmaz, Serkan; Altay, Faruk; Gunduz, Sualp; Arslan, Damla; Sezik, Ebru Gul; Turgut, ElifPurpose: Eliciting main concerns of the patients is defined as determining a patient's agenda. Setting a patient's agenda is extremely important for planning patient-centered care and planning individualized rehabilitation program. This study aimed to describe agenda elicitation in rehabilitation, to determine the frequency of encounters in which physiotherapists elicited the patients with musculoskeletal disorders agenda, the proportion and timing of interrupted answers. Methods: This research is a qualitative study which has three steps systematic analysis has carried out. In the first phase, 137 clinical encounters and seven blinded physiotherapists were included in this study. In the second phase, the first physiotherapist-patient interaction, including open and closed-ended questions, were asked by physiotherapists, was recorded. In the third phase, thematic analysis of the elicitation of the patient agenda characteristics was performed. Results: Physiotherapists elicited the patient's agenda in 76.60% of clinical encounters. In those encounters in which physiotherapists elicited patient concerns, the clinician interrupted the patient after a median of 14.60 seconds (min-max, 1 to 120 seconds). In the un-interrupted encounters in which physiotherapists elicited patient concerns, the patients with musculoskeletal disorders were stated their agenda in 47.70 +/- 35.70 seconds. Conclusion: In general, most of the physiotherapists emphasize to elicit the patient's agenda; however, they interrupt the patient's expression significantly sooner. Eventually, the failure to elicit the patient's agenda inhibits evaluating patients' needs, and this would lead to failure in planning the rehabilitation program based on individual needs.Item Hegemonic Masculinity in Yasar Kemal's Demirciler carsisi Cinayeti and Yusufcuk Yusuf Novels(2021) Seker, Aziz; Ozcan, EmreIn recent years, with the widespread use of gender approaches in the literature of social sciences, the phenomenon of masculinity has become one of the central issues of the disciplines of sociology and cultural anthropology. In addition, in studies within the sociology of literature and literature, analyzes have gained momentum via conceptualizations such as patriarchy, gender inequality, masculine domination, and masculinity. Considering that novels, which can work on social reality around cultural, political and economic conditions, are a serious object of study for the sociology of literature, it can be understood why these conceptualizations come to the fore front. Eventually, literature does not correspond to an autonomous field outside of social history, and the reality of masculinity is not external to this history. Yasar Kemal, one of the important representatives of modern Turkish literature, presents the social and cultural structure and relations of production of the period to the reader in his own unique style. The phenomenon of masculinity emerges as the junction point of socio-economic, cultural and political structure and human relations, which it analyzes especially through the cukurova region. From this point of view, in this study, his novel Akcasazin Agalari, in which consists of two volumes as Demirciler Carom Cinayeti and Yusufcuk Yusuf opens to a discussion within the framework of hegemonic masculinity.Item Investigation of Occupational Accidents Health Workers in Nursing Services Are Exposed To(2020) Ugurlu, Ziyafet; Ozhan Elbas, Hatice Nalan; Gunay, AylinIntroduction: In this study, occupational accidents experienced by health personnel (nurses, midwives, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, operating room technicians, assistant health technicians and care support personnel) working in the nursing services of our hospital between 2013-2018 were investigated. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out retrospectively. Three hundred and seventy-four occupational accident forms of health personnel (nurses, midwives, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, operating room technicians, assistant health technicians and care support personnel) reported to the nursing services were evaluated. The data were categorized according to age, sex, title and unit, working year, accident, date and time of the accident. Descriptive statistics (number, percentage, median, mean, standard deviation) and chi-square test were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: It was determined that 84.2% of the health personnel who reported occupational accidents were females, 46.9% were in the 18-25 age group, and 93.1% were high school, associate degree and university graduates. The majority of health personnel were nurses (69.5%), approximately half (47.8%) of the health workers reporting accidents were working in surgical units and intensive care units, 77.0% had been working for 5 years or less, and the occupational accident rate was the highest in 2017 (37.2%). When occupational accident reports were examined, it was found that there was no seasonal feature and the frequency of occupational accidents was higher in 08:00-20:00 shifts (67.9%). Considering the classification of occupational accidents, it was found that 53.2% of these injuries were caused by needlestick and sharp injuries, 33.7% by physical risks damaging musculoskeletal system and 13.1% by biological risks due to blood and body fluids exposure. It was found that the highest number of occupational accidents occurred during treatment (34.7%) and 49.7% were caused by needlestick. Conclusion: It was determined that the health personnel working in surgical areas have a higher risk of occupational accidents. Approximately half of the occupational accidents occurred frequently during treatment due to needlestick and consequently, needlestick and sharp injuries took the first place. It is necessary to identify situations that threaten employee health, develop policies aiming to prevent occupational accidents and take preventive measures to prevent infection risk due to needlestick and sharp injuries and biological risks in terms of employee health.Item Determination of sleep quality, fatigue, and concentration in nurses according to their shifts and chronotype(2020) Karahan, Azize; Abbasoglu, Aysel; Ugurlu, Ziyafet; Isik, Sevcan Avci; Kilic, Gulsen; Elbas, Nalan OzhanItem Review of oncology nursing research that conducted by nurses in Turkey and published between 2009-2013: a systematic review(2015) Bagcivan, Gulcan; Uysal, Nese; Karaaslan, Akile; Kapucu, Sevgisun; Talas, Melek Serpil; Trakye, GulsenOBJECTIVES This study was aimed to analyze the nursing research that conducted field of oncology in Turkey and published between 2009-2013. METHODS Literature search conducted in October 2013, researchers searched the keywords of "cancer, patient, nursing, oncology, Turkey" in Turkish and English on the international ("PubMed", "Embase", "Ovid", "ProQuest", "Ebscohost", and "Blackwell-Synergy") and national (Turkish Medical Index - ULAKBIM, Council of Higher Education - YOK, Thesis Center) databases. RESULTS In 66% of studies were descriptive. In 38% of the studies, all cancer types were included in the sample. Sample of 94% the of studies were adults, and 31% of the studies were related to "Symptom and Symptom Management" and 65% of this studies were conducted by academician nurses. CONCLUSION It was seen that there were a large number of researches conducted in the field of oncology. However it was seen that the majority of these researches have low evidence level, performed by academic nurses, and its samples consisted of adults.Item Lessons Learned from Experiencing Mavi At Cafe (Blue Horse Cafe) during Six Years: A Qualitative Analysis of Factors Contributing to Recovery from the Perspective of Schizophrenia Patients(2017) Attepe Ozden, Seda; Soygur, Haldun; Yuksel, M.Merve; Eraslan, Pinar; 29192939Objective: In recent years, the recovery-oriented approaches (along with experiences and thoughts of patients and patient's relatives) have been taken into account for establishing mental health services and policies. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to recovery, as observed from the perspective of schizophrenia patients working at The Blue Horse Cafe which was founded by the Federation of Schizophrenia Associations. Method: The sample for the study consisted of 24 patients who worked at The Blue Horse Cafe. A phenomenological approach was used in the study, whereby interviews with patients were analyzed qualitatively. Results: Certain common factors, which were expressed as having contributed to recovery, were identified from the perspective of schizophrenia patients. These factors are: 1-The fact that the setting is informal and welcoming without being constrictive; 2-Predominance of the human element; 3-Hope and encouragement; 4-Being cared about; 5-Being able to reach someone when in need of support; 6-Friendly sharing; 7-Having a purpose, assuming responsibility, and being motivated; and 8-Giving meaning to life. Conclusion: The findings may serve as a stimulus since schizophrenia patients that contribute to recovery give mental health professionals the opportunity to question there need for a change in their professional roles. Additionally, schizophrenia patients that have experienced The Blue Horse Cafe draw attention to certain points and these points can serve as a guide, especially for establishing the working methods of Community Mental Health Centers.
