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 Tracing Gender in the Rock of Tanios in the Context of Feminist Literary Criticism(2023) Seker, Aziz; Ozcan, EmreAmin Maalouf was born in Beirut and is considered one of today's most important writers for his essays dealing with the social issues of our time, particularly his novels based on his family biography. Maalouf discusses different periods within the framework of phenomena such as immigration, war, exile, love, and identity while constructing the sociocultural and historical realities of the Orient in his novels. Historical realities and individual tragedies emerged at the center of social changes in the bridge between East and West, and research on Maalouf's works converge with existentialism, with the protagonists of his novels being represented through social relations dominated by this philosophy. Gender analysis occupies an important place among these relations and appears alongside various other issues in many of his works, from On Identity to The Rock of Tanios and Samarcand. Maalouf received the Goncourt Prize for The Rock of Tanios, which can be considered one of the works that bears the traces of its genre. Throughout the novel, one easily notices the female characters' passive roles and the activeness of male characters in the production of power. In this sense, the work deserves to be analyzed in terms of gender in the context of feminist literary criticism. This article will deal with The Rock of Tanios in light of gender analyses and open up a discussion to question the fictional creation of female reality and the characterization of its existence in this work.Item Investigation of Knowledge and Attitudes of African and Turkish Nursing Students Regarding the Older Adults; A Comparative Descriptive Study(2023) Erdemir, Firdevs; Atak, Nazli Turgut; Citak, Ebru Akgun; 0000-0002-0484-4687Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the attitudes and knowledge of African and Turkish Nursing Students with regard to the older adults.Materials and Methods: This comparative descriptive study was conducted in a private university in Northern Cyprus. A total of 455 African and Turkish nursing students participated in this study. Personal information form, Palmore's facts on aging quiz (FAQ) and Kogan attitudes towards older people scale (KAOPS) were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U tests and multivariate linear regression were used for data analysis.Results: The mean FAQ score of the Turkish students was determined to be 30.64 +/- 7.15 and the mean KAOPS score was 125.33 +/- 13.14, whereas the mean FAQ score of the African students was 26.33 +/- 7.82 and the mean KAOPS score was 122.97 +/- 10.30. No significant difference was found in the students' attitudes towards the elderly in terms of nationality. The Turkish students' knowledge about old age was 3.43 times higher than the African students' knowledge [R2=8.9%, odds ratio=3.43 (1.93-6.11)].Conclusion: It was determined that both the Turkish and African students had similar and positive attitudes towards the elderly; however, Turkish students had more knowledge about the elderly.Item The Effect of Tele-Yoga Training in Healthy Women on Menstrual Symptoms, Quality of Life, Anxiety-Depression Level, Body Awareness, and Self-Esteem During COVID-19 Pandemic(2023) Gunebakan, Ozge; Acar, Manolya; 35332504; ACK-5152-2022Background and aims This study was planned to examine the effects of tele-yoga training on menstrual symptoms, quality of life, anxiety-depression level, body awareness, and self-esteem in healthy women. Methods Thirty-two healthy premenopausal women between the ages of 18 and 45 were included in the study. The women were randomly divided into two groups as tele-yoga training (n: 16) and the control group (n: 16). The tele-yoga training was performed on the Zoom software for 6 weeks, 2 times a week and 45 min a day. No intervention was made in the control group. Menstrual pain and symptoms by Menstrual Symptom Scale (MSS), quality of life by Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), depression levels by Beck Depression Scale (BDS), anxiety levels by State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI), body awareness by Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), and self-esteem by Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were determined. Results In the tele-yoga training group, statistically significant improvements were observed in the MSS total (p = 0.001), negative effects (p = 0.003), menstrual pain symptoms (p = 0.003), coping methods (p = 0.001) sub-parameters, BDS score (p = 0.000), NHP sleep (p = 0.021), energy (p = 0.002), emotional (p = 0.000), and isolation (p = 0.039) sub-parameters. In the control group, there was statistically significant worsening in the NHP total score (p = 0.000). As regards the differences in values between the two groups, there were statistically difference in favor of the training group in sub-parameters of MSS, NHP sleep, energy, emotional, and isolation sub-parameters, and BDS and BAQ scores (p < 0.05). Conclusion It is thought that tele-yoga training may be a safe and effective method in reducing menstrual symptoms and depression, increasing quality of life, and body awareness.Item A Preliminary Study to Evaluate The Impact of Pharmaceutical Care Services on Clinical Outcome and Medication Adherence in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients from Ethiopian Perspective(2022) Billoro, Bruke Berhanu; Abdi, Abdikarem Mohamed; Abero, Wondimu Assefa; Fite, Abdi Bedassa; Basgut, Bilgen; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5883-5583; 37092108; AAR-5815-2021Background: The role of clinical pharmacist in hospital settings of Ethiopia is still new and infant. Objective: To evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical care on clinical outcome and medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods: A single cantered, pre-post interventional study design was carried out by enrolling 100 uncontrolled T2DM patients from March 1-August 30, 2020. The intervention package included assessment of pharmacological and non-pharmacological needs, counselling patients in person at the clinic, and providing educational materials. Results: Of the 100 patients initially enrolled, 87(87%) completed the follow-up and included in the final data analysis. The intervention showed a decrease in average FBG, systolic blood pressure (SBP), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by 47.3 mg/dL, 22.6mmHg and 31.4mg/dL, while high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) exhibited significant increase by 13.4 mg/dL and 11.5 ml/min/1.73m2 respectively (p<0.0001). In addition, diastolic blood pressure, lipid values, kidney function parameters, and liver function parameters showed significant decrease in post intervention compared to pre-intervention (p<0.05). Medication adherence of the patients increased significantly at 6-month follow-up (p<0.001). Conclusion: These results also suggest the benefits of integrating clinical pharmacist services in multidisciplinary healthcare teams and diabetes management in Ethiopia.Item Protective Effects of Green Tea on Blood and Liver of Rats Fed with High Fructose Diet(2022) Gubur, S.; Ercan, A.; Yazici, Z. M. CoskunThis study was designed to investigate the effects of green tea on lipid profile, liver tissue damage, and oxidative stress in rats fed a diet including high fructose. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control (C), Fructose (F), Green Tea (GT), and F+GT. F and F+GT groups were given 20% fructose in the drinking water for eight weeks. Green tea (2 mg kg -1) was administrated to GT and F+GT groups by oral gavage for eight weeks. Biochemical parameters in serum and oxidative stress markers in the liver were analysed. The liver sections were stained with haematoxylin-eosin. As of the 3rd week of the experiment, the body weight of rats in the F group showed a statistically significant increase in comparison with the F+GT group. The serum glucose and triglyceride levels of the F+GT group significantly decreased when compared with the F group. The fructose-induced degenerative changes in the liver were reduced with green tea. Green tea may serve a protective role against hyperlipidaemia and liver injury in rats fed a high fructose diet.Item Combined Therapy with Probiotic VSL#3 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids Attenuates Colonic Injury and Inflammation in Chronic DNBS-induced Colitis in Mice (vol 69, pg 135, 2021)(2022) Ilktac, Havvanur Yoldas; Kiziltan, Gul; Lanpir, Asli Devrim; Ozansoy, Mehmet; Gunal, Mehmet Y.; Togay, Sine Ozmen; Keskin, Ilknur; Ozdemir, Ekrem M.; Kilic, UlkanItem The Relationship Between Nutritional Status and Cognitive Functions of Shift Health Workers(2022) Kulak, Asli Yagmur; Yesil, EsenObjective: In this study was aimed to determine the nutritional status, and to evaluate the cognitive functions of healthcare workers working shifts and the ones not working shifts. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted between July and August 2021 100 volunteers (shift: 50, non-shift: 50) between the ages of 25 and 50. Socio-demographic characteristics, nutritional status and cognitive functions of individuals were evaluated. Results: The mean age of individuals is 36.2 +/- 6.82 years. It was determined that individuals working shifts drank alcohol, had chronic diseases and skipped meals at a higher rate than individuals who worked non-shifts. Additionally, it was observed that individuals working shifts had less daily water consumption and more coffee and tea consumption than non-shift individuals (p<0.05). It was determined that women working shifts had a higher body mass index (BMI) than women who worked non-shifts (p<0.05). The cognitive assessment score of individuals in the normal BMI range (25.9 +/- 2.54) was statistically significantly higher than that of obese individuals (24.2 +/- 2.93) (p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between the Montreal cognitive asssessment scale score and dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-6, vitamin E, vitamin K in shift workers. Conclusion: It was concluded that the cognitive assessment scores of shift workers were lower than those of non-shift workers. We observed that the shift work system also creates significant differences in terms of eating habits and nutritional status.Item Problematic Technology Use in University Students: Example of a Foundation University(2022) Aktan, Mehmet Can; Gokcearslan, Elif; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5064-4766This study, which focuses on the use of problematic technology in university students, focuses on the dimensions of the relationship university students establish with technology, and aims to reach a holistic and deep understanding of the negative and destructive effects and consequences of this relationship. The research designed in quantitative design is based on the relational screening model. Within the scope of the research, it was aimed to look at the technology usage habits of the participants. For this purpose; Personal Information Form, Technology Addiction Scale and Technological Addiction Scale were used. The sample of demographic information obtained from university students at a foundation university consists of 392 participants, 340 (86.7%) female and 52 (13.3%) male students. Participants' technology usage characteristics, time spent with technology, thoughts about the COVID-19 process and addiction levels were revealed within the scope of the findings. Considering that deprivation, difficulty in control, impaired functionality and social exclusion are indicators of problematic technology use, it is seen that the time spent on technological components and usage habits are predictors of problematic use. The results have been discussed in the light of the current literature.Item The Relationship Between Body Image and Anthropometric Measurements Among Adolescent Girls During Menstrual and Non-menstrualtime Periods: A Cross-Sectional Study(2022) Turker, Perim Fatma; Caliskan, Hilal; Bayram, SinemIntroduction: In recent studies, it has been suggested that anxiety about body image increases during menstruation in adolescents and may affect nutritional status. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between adolescents' body images, body perceptions and anthropometric measurements during menstrual and non-menstrual time periods.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a private high school between September November 2021. Participants were adolescent girls aged 14-18. The questionnaire included information about menstruation, anthropometric measurements, and the Body Cathexis Scale (BCS) and Stunkard Figure Rating Scale.Results: The mean age (total=291) was 15.9(1.13) years, body mass index (BMI) was 21.13(3.33) kg/m2, waist circumference was 70.48(8.87) cm and the BCS was 97.39(24.59). The majority of students have normal BMI. However, according to waist circumference 28.5% of the them were obese (>= 90th percentile). Difference between actual BMIs and body image in the menstrual period was significant (p<0.001), the agreement with each other was slight (K=0.172). There was a significant difference (p<0.001) between actual BMIs and body image in the non-menstrual period and the agreement with each other was moderate (K=0.474). During non-menstrual periods, 79.7% of students with normal BMI perceived their body images as normal, and 70.5% of overweight students perceived as overweight.Conclusions: Since the menstruation is a period in which body image is perceived differently than it is, special consideration of adolescent girls in terms for eating disorders should be encouraged.
