    Effects of Nutrition Education Given to Persons with Multiple Sclerosis and Their Families on Diet Quality and Anthropometric and Biochemical Measurements
    (2022) Uzdil, Zeynep; Turker, Perim Fatma; Terzi, Murat
    Objective In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of nutrition education given to persons with multiple sclerosis and their families on anthropometric and biochemical measurements and diet quality. Methods Data from 51 persons with multiple sclerosis were analysed in this intervention study. The study was conducted with 3 groups. The education group consisted of only persons with multiple sclerosis, the family education group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis and a family member living with them, and the control group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis who had not received an education. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements and dietary quality assessments were made before (T1) and immediately after education (T2) and also 3 months after education (follow-up, T3). Results The distribution of family education group diet quality scores showed a significant increase from "poor" to "needs improvement" at T3 compared to T1. The upper middle arm circumference measurements of the female control group were decreased at T2 and T3 [from 29.0 (23-34) cm to 28.0 (22-31) cm and to 27.5 (22-31) cm]. Women in family education group, levels of serum haemoglobin and haematocrit were higher than in control group at T2 and T3. Also, men in family education group, levels of alanine aminotransferase were lower than those in education group at follow up. Levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in education group were higher than those control group at T1, T2, and T3. Conclusion This study indicates that nutrition education affects some biochemical and anthropometric measurements in persons with multiple sclerosis. Diet quality improved when receiving education together with families.

    Gender Differences in Repeated Sprint Ability
    (2018) Soydan, T. Alper; Hazir, Tahir; Ozkan, Ali; Kin-Isler, Ayse; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2859-2824; J-2360-2013; ABI-3963-2020
    BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that there is considerable research in gender related differences in athletic performance, limited studies have been found related with the gender differences in repeated sprint ability (RSA). OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gender related differences in RSA. METHODS: Forty team sport athletes participated in this study voluntarily and RSA was determined by a 5 x 6 s cycling RSA test with 24 s recovery. Participants' peak power (PP), mean power (MP) and performance decrement (PD%) were determined as performance variables. Maximal blood lactate (La-max), heart rate (HRmax) and ratings of perceived exertion (RPEmax) were determined as physiological responses. RESULTS: Results indicated higher relative PP and MP for men (p < 0.05) while no significant gender differences was observed in PD% (p > 0.05). Men had higher La-max (p < 0.05), while there were no gender differences in HRmax and RPEmax (p > 0.05). In addition, the highest values was observed in the first sprint for both relative PP and MP regardless of gender and men performed higher than women in each cycle repetitions. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion gender related differences were observed in RSA except for PD%, HRmax and RPEmax which indicated that men and women were not different in terms of fatigue resistance and experienced the same physiological strain during the RSA test.

    Turkish validity and reliability of the Cancer Stigma Scale (CASS-T)
    (2023) Cevik, Banu; Kav, Sultan; Kaynar, Pelinsu; Sahin, Zeynep Kubra; Tekcan, Busra; Ulker, Seymanur; 0000-0003-1396-854X; 35699122
    Objectives This study is aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Cancer Stigma Scale for the Turkish population (CASS-T). Methods The sample of the study consisted of 412 students of a foundation university located in Ankara, Turkey. The reliability of the CASS was evaluated using the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient and item-total score correlations. Exploratory factor analyses were applied to examine the factor structure of the scale and its construct validity. To test the time invariance of the scale, the relationships between the scores obtained from the first and second applications were examined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of CASS-T was 0.83. In the factor analysis, it was confirmed that the scale has a six-dimensional structure in parallel to original version, namely Avoidance, Severity, Responsibility, Policy opposition, Awkwardness, and Discrimination. The ICC values all remained in the range that indicates the reliability of the 0.63-0.71 to be substantial. The contribution of the six factors of the CASS-T scale to the variance is 57.8. Significance in results The Turkish version of the CASS was confirmed to have good reliability and validity for evaluating stigma toward cancer in Turkish society.
