Item The Relationship Between Biological Rhythm And Perceived Social Support, Coping Styles And Medication Adherence İn Patients With Bipolar Disorder İn Türkiye(ARCHIVES OF PSYCHIATRIC NURSING, 2024-03-15) Ucgun, Tugce; Oksuz, EmineIntroduction: The disruption of biological rhythm (sleep, eating patterns, hormonal secretions, activities, and social life etc.) in individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder makes it challenging to balance the mood of the patient and facilitates recurrence. Although social support, coping with stress, and medication adherence are known to affect prognosis, no study has been found to investigate the relationship between these factors and biological rhythm. Aim: This descriptive and correlational design study investigated the relationship between perceived social support, coping styles and medication adherence, and biological rhythm in individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Method: This study was conducted with 111 patients receiving treatment in the outpatient clinics of the psychiatry department of two public hospitals in Ankara, Turkey. Biological Rhythm Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Coping Style Inventory (CSI), and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) were used for data collection. Results: The biological rhythm total and subscales scores were significantly and negatively related to perceived social support total, and subscales scores (p < 0.005). The biological rhythm total and most of its subscales scores were significantly and negatively related to medication adherence (p < 0.005). The biological rhythm total and domain scores were significantly and negatively related to seeking social support, self-confident, and optimistic subscales of CSI while significantly and positively related to helpless and submissive (p < 0.005). Discussion: In this study, a positive relationship was found between increased perceived social support, effective coping with stress, and adherence to medication. This study highlights that these factors may be helpful for the regulation of biological rhythm.Item Physical Activity, Anxiety, Depression, And Coping In Turkish Men And Women During The First Wave Of COVID-19(CADERNOS DE SAUDE PUBLICA, 2024-06-29) Filiz, Bijen; Ozyol, Funda Coskun; Guven, Bengu; Korur, Ezel Nur; Yuksel, Yilmaz; Yavuz, Cavit Isik; Ding, Kele; Yang, Jingzhen; Durstine, Larry; Chin, Ming -kai; Demirhan, GiyasettinA need exists to better understand the relationships between COVID-19, coping behaviors, physical activity and stress, and COVID-19's impact on way of life. A cross-sectional study design was used to examine adult physical activity, hope, depression, anxiety, and coping status by gender during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine the impact of these variables on the coping process. The study also examined the effect of gender on the relation between physical activity and dependent variables. A global survey instrument was used in this study, including 1,400 Turkish adults. This study identified significant gender-based differences regarding physical activity, hope, depression, anxiety, and coping status of adults, although no significant genderbased difference was found regarding hope scores. Furthermore, physical activity directly influenced coping (beta = 0.10), hope (beta = 0.12), and anxiety (beta = -0.08). Hope directly and positively influenced coping (beta = 0.45) and directly and negatively influenced anxiety (beta = -0.25) and depression (beta = -0.28). Moreover, gender did not directly affect physical activity, but it was associated with decreased coping and increased depression and anxiety. Finally, gender had no effect on the relation between physical activity and hope, coping, depression, and anxiety (p > 0.01). These outcomes support the critical importance of physical activity and hope when coping with COVID-19 regardless of gender.Item Evaluation Of Dynamic Balance, Functionality And Anthropometric Characteristics In Alpine And Nordic Skiers(TURKISH JOURNAL OF PHYSIOTHERAPY REHABILITATION-TURK FIZYOTERAPI VE REHABILITASYON DERGISI, 2024-12) Tekin, Beril; Kurkcuoglu, Ayla; Gul Ates, Eylemurpose: The dynamic balance ability, functionality level, and anthropometric structure of elite athletes are closely related to their performance during sports activities. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the dynamic balance, functional performance, and anthropometric characteristics of Alpine and Nordic skiers, which are different ski disciplines, and to investigate the relationships between these parameters. Methods: The studywas carried out on licensed Nordic skiers (n=29) and Alpine skiers (n=33). Dynamic balance was evaluated with the Y Balance Test, and functionality was evaluated with the Single Leg Hop for Distance Test. Sitting height and anthropometric measurements of the lower extremities were taken and recorded. Results: The Y Balance Test result for Nordic skiers were higher (p=0.007). The results of the Single Leg Hop for Distance Test were similar in both groups (p=0.534). Lower limb length (p=0.044), thigh length (p=0.005), and leg length (p=0.005) were longer in Nordic skiers. A positive moderate correlation was found between the Y Balance Test and Single Leg Hop for Distance Test in both groups (Alpine skiing r=0.583; p <0.001; Nordic skiing r=0.457; p=0.013). A positive moderate correlation was found between sitting height and dynamic balance (r=0.432; p=0.012) and between leg length and the Single Leg Hop for Distance Test (r=0.442; p=0.010) only in Alpine skiers. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study revealed certain differences regarding the dynamic balance, functional performance, and anthropometric characteristics of Alpine and Nordic skiers and presented guiding results in organizing of training programs for ski disciplines and in the prevention of injuries in ski athletes.Item Effects Of Pilates Exercises And Whole- Body Vibration Exercises Training On Body Composition, Flexibility, And Balance In Healthy Women: Randomized Controlled Pilot Study(TURKISH JOURNAL OF PHYSIOTHERAPY REHABILITATION-TURK FIZYOTERAPI VE REHABILITASYON DERGISI, 2024-12) Kalkan Balak, Busra; Ozlem Yuruk, ZelihaPurpose: This study aims to compare the effects of pilates and whole-body vibration exercise training on body composition, flexibility, balance, and functional strength of core muscles in healthy women. Methods: Thirty-six healthy women were divided into three groups: a pilates group, a whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise group, and a control group. The pilates group received training using the 'Reformer (R),' while the WBV group used the 'Power Plate (R).' Both groups trained twice a week for eight weeks, with sessions lasting 45-60 minutes each. The control group did not receive any training. Body composition was assessed using body mass index (BMI), the waist-to-hip ratio, and bioelectrical impedance analysis. Sit-and-Reach Test for flexibility, Functional Reach Test for balance, and Sit-ups and Modified Push-ups Test for core muscle strength. Assessments were made before and after training. Results: In the group comparisons, significant differences in BMI and some bioelectrical impedance parameters were observed in the WBV group (p<0.05). However, no significant changes in body composition were found in the pilates and control groups and no difference was found between the three groups (p>0.05). Flexibility showed significant differences among the three groups (p<0.01). Functional core strength increased in both the pilates and WBV groups (p<0.05), but no significant differences were observed in balance and strength comparisons between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Results indicate that WBV training affected body composition, and both exercise groups improved flexibility, balance, and core strength. However, WBV was not superior to pilates. Further research is needed for generalizability.
