Seref; Kav, S.; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0361-7498; V-9745-2019Item Investigating The Effects of Poverty on Health and Quality of Life in Poor People Aged 65 and Over in Etimesgut District, Ankara(2014) Yilmaz, Fikriye; Celik, Cansu; Numanoglu Tekin, Rukiye; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4884-3803; AAZ-4775-2020Introduction: The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of poverty on health and quality of life of poor people aged 65 and over in Etimesgut District, Ankara. Materials and Method: A questionnaire was administered to 116 people over the age of 65 who were deemed a priority group for assistance by the Etimesgut Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation in Ankara. The questionnaire comprised questions related to socio-demographic characteristics, health status and health care utilization of elderly people, along with the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Older Adults Module. Research data were evaluated using the Chi-Square Test, Independent Samples T Test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test. Results: The average monthly income of the elderly participants was 168.94 +/- 54.67 Turkish liras and they lived completely under the poverty line determined for Turkey. However, it was found that women, illiterate participants and those receiving the old age pension were poorer, and of those whose income was below average, more delayed/did not seek help when they were ill. Statistical analysis revealed that total quality of life scores of participants aged 65-74 and literate participants were higher; the "social participation" scores of participants whose income was below average and those received an old-age pension were lower. Conclusion: Poverty has negative effects on the health status, health care utilization and quality of life of elderly people.Item Alleviation of Copper Induced Oxidative Damage and Genotoxicity in Tomato by Corchourus Olitorius and Urtica Pilulifera Extracts(2014) Iseri, Ozlem Darcansoy; Korpe, Didem Aksoy; Sahin, Feride Iffet; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7308-9673; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; AAC-7232-2020; AAJ-8097-2021Item Relationship Between Exercise Perception With Physical Activity Level, Body Awareness, and Illness Cognition in Renal Transplant Patients: A Pilot Study(2019) Tigli, Ayca; Soy, Ebru Hatice Ayvazoglu; Aytar, Aydan; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0993-9917; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2498-7287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; 30777573; AAC-5566-2019; HIR-3735-2022; AAE-1041-2021; AAJ-8097-2021Objectives: Transplantation offers better quality of life and long-term survival benefits. Further knowledge is needed regarding exercise in daily life of transplant recipients. Here, we investigated the relationship between exercise perception and physical activity level, body awareness, and illness cognition in renal transplant patients. Materials and Methods: Our study included 53 renal transplant recipients (Standardized Mini-Mental Test score = 26.35 +/- 1.36; age = 41.11 +/- 13.52 year, body mass index = 25.96 +/- 5.26 kg/m(2), elapsed time after transplant = 3.68 +/- 1.53 year). Perceived benefits and barriers to exercise, physical activity level, body awareness, and illness cognition were assessed with the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Body Awareness Questionnaire, and Patient Illness Perception Questionnaire, respectively. Correlations were established with Spearman test for nonparametric data, with regression analysis used to find determinants of physical activity levels. Results: We observed correlations between physical activity level and perceived benefits and barriers to exercise. There was a positive relationship between body awareness and perceived benefits and barriers to exercise and also illness cognition, with significant correlation between perceived benefits and barriers to exercise and illness cognition (P < .05). Perceived benefits and barriers to exercise (P = .006, R = 0.373, R2 = 0.139, beta = 0.373, t = 2.867, F = 8.22) were determining factors for physical activity level. Conclusions: Psychologic and physical factors, including negative emotions and body dissatisfaction, are risk factors for poor quality of life. Although it is important to increase quality of life, tools to enhance body awareness and to develop strategies to alter motor behaviors in daily living activities are needed. Treatment and assessment strategies on body awareness and illness perception should be considered, with emphasis on the importance of physical activity posttransplant.Item Omics in Oxidative Stress Tolerance in Crops(2019) Kayihan, Ceyhun; Eyidogan, Fusun; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1684-4147; Q-4515-2016; ACA-9644-2022Item How patients perceive healthcare services: A case of Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad - Pakistan. SERV Service QUAL Quality(2018) Ali, MuhammadA field study was conducted in Ayub Teaching Hospital in the outpatient department, to evaluate the level of service quality offered by the healthcare services with a view to identifying the relationship between service quality dimensions and overall service quality. The researchers used the SERVQUAL instrument for the purpose of assessing the quality of the service offered by the healthcare workers at the outpatient department in Ayub Teaching Hospital. A sample of 246 patients in the outpatient department participated in the questionnaire survey. Descriptive statistics were used to find out mean values and variance between actual values from perceived values. To assess the strength of model regression, the aforementioned technique was adopted. The study results showed that there exists a gap between patients' expectation and actual services offered by the healthcare workers. There were five dimensions that were assessed: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. The results revealed that patients are dissatisfied with three dimensions (tangibles, reliability and assurance), but they are satisfied with the other two dimensions (responsiveness and empathy). This research adopts the marketing concept to measure the healthcare services. The SERVQUAL tool was modified as per need to meet the requirements in accordance with the nature and scope of the research. Patients' attitudes toward service quality dimensions were the concern of the research. To get a comprehensive evaluation of service quality, healthcare providers have to be considered in future research. Based on the findings of this study, Ayub Teaching Hospital's (ATH) management is in a position to recognize the patients' perceptions about the healthcare services and offer them service accordingly. Results can be used by management and government policymakers regarding healthcare to bring better and more effective services. Consequently, based on the results, new structure can be designed by adopting strategies that improve the quality of services in order to provide effective services and gain patients' satisfaction and propensity to further recommend the services of healthcare to other patients. This study investigates the healthcare quality in a small area in Pakistan. Pakistan is a developing country. Future research can adopt the SERVPREF technique, which is a more developed technique than SERVQUAL in order to measure service quality as it provides a two-factor solution for the dimensionality of health service quality.Item Marangozlarda işitmenin elektrofizyolojik testlerle değerlendirilmesi(Başkent Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2020) Budak, Buse; Erbek, Selim SermedMarangozlar mesleki yaşamlarında devamlı olarak 82 – 100 dB ses şiddetindeki gürültüye maruz kalmaktadırlar. Marangozhanelerdeki maruz kaldıkları ses şiddeti, marangozhanede bulunduğu yer ve kullandığı alete göre iç kulağa zarar verici seviyelere çıkmaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı; Marangozlarda işitmenin odyometri, transient uyarılmış otoakustik emisyon (TEOAE) testi ile detaylı olarak incelemektir. Çalışmaya 31 marangoz, sürekli ve/veya ani gürültüye maruz kalmamış 31 kişi kontrol grubu olmak üzere toplam 62 kişi alınmıştır. İşitme eşikleri ölçümünden sonra her iki grubun uyarılmış otoakustik emisyon testiyle ölçümü yapılmıştır. Marangozların yaş ortalaması 44.58 ± 10.33, kontrol grubunun yaş ortalaması 41.84 ± 8.65 olup istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktur (p=0.262). Marangoz ve kontrol grubunun sağ ve sol kulak saf ses işitme eşiklerini karşılaştırdığımızda, tüm frekanslarda marangozlarda anlamlı düşüş olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Marangozlarda sağ kulak emisyon değerleri kontrol grubuna göre 2000 ve 2800 Hz‟de istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük bulunmuştur. Her iki grubun sol kulak emisyon değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, marangozlarda emisyon değerleri 1000, 2000 ve 2800 Hz frekanslarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük elde edilmiştir. Çalışmamızda elde ettiğimiz bulgular sonucunda hem saf ses odyometri hem de emisyon değerlerinde gözlemlenen düşüş marangozlarda gürültüye bağlı işitme kaybının geliştiğini desteklemektedir. Carpenters are constantly exposed to a noise level of 82 - 100 dB in their professional lives. The sound intensity of the carpenters increases to the level of damage to the inner ear according to the location of the carpenter and the tool they use. The aim of our study; The audiometry of hearing in carpenters, transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE). A total of 62 people, 31 of whom were carpenters, 31 of whom were not exposed to continuous and / or sudden noise, were included in the study. After the hearing thresholds measurement, both groups were measured by stimulated otoacoustic emission test. The average age of the carpenters is 44.58 ± 10.33, the average age of the control group is 41.84 ± 8.65 and there is no statistically significant difference (p = 0.262). When we compared the right and left ear pure sound hearing thresholds of the carpenter and control group, there was a significant decrease in carpenters at all frequencies (p <0.05). The right ear emission values in carpenters were found statistically significantly lower at 2000 and 2800 Hz compared to the control group. When the left ear emission values of both groups were compared, the emission values of carpenters were statistically significantly lower at 1000, 2000 and 2800 Hz frequencies. As a result of the findings obtained in our study, the decrease observed in both pure sound audiometry and emission values support the development of noise-related hearing loss in carpenters.Item A Cross-Sectional Survey on Consequences of Nurses' Burnout: Moderating Role of Organizational Politics(2016) Basar, Ufuk; Basim, Nejat; 0000-0003-0008-5131; 26988276; ABD-9381-2021; J-2510-2016AimThe aim of the study was to assess whether perceptions of organizational politics (defined as self-serving behaviours at the expense of others) influence the prospective associations between nurses' burnout and its consequences, namely, intention to quit and neglect of work. BackgroundResearchers have previously investigated relationships between nurses' burnout, intention to quit, neglect of work and perceptions of organizational politics in different research models and from different perspectives. As far as we know, no studies have considered whether nurses' perceptions of organizational politics moderate the influence of burnout. DesignA cross-sectional survey using self-report questionnaires. MethodData were collected by questionnaire from a sample of 456 nurses from six private hospitals in Ankara, Turkey in March 2015. Four different previously designed scales were used to measure research variables (burnout, intention to quit, neglect of work and perceptions of organizational politics). Following confirmatory validity and reliability analyses of data collection instruments, descriptive statistics for each research variable were analysed. Structural regression models were created to assess relationships among variables. FindingsBurnout resulted in intention to quit and neglect. Intention to quit partially mediated the association between burnout and neglect. Burnout gave rise to intention to quit slightly more strongly in nurses who had greater perceptions of organizational politics. ConclusionThis study uncovers and emphasizes the moderating role of perceptions of organizational politics in consequences of burnout. This may help hospital managers and nurses to improve costs, efficiency, satisfaction and productivity.Item Neighborhoods of Analytic Functions Associated with Fractional Derivative(2016) Altintas, OsmanIn this paper we define a differential operator and introduce the subclasses F-n,p(q) (lambda, alpha, delta) and K-n,p(q) (lambda, alpha, delta, mu) of functions which are analytic and p-valent in the open unit disk. Also we derive coefficient bounds, distortion inequalities, associated inclusion relation for (n, epsilon)-neighborhoods of the classes, which are defined by means of a certain non-homogeneous differential equation.
