ADÖLESAN DÖNEMDE ÜREME SAĞLIĞI, CİNSELLİK VE CİNSEL EĞİTİMİN ÖNEMİ
(Turkish Studies (Elektronik), 2018) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Balcı, Elçin
Dünyadaki tüm kültürel, sosyal, ekonomik ve politik yapılanmalarda, gençlerin ÜS/CS (üreme sağlığı ve cinsel sağlık) gereksinimleri sağlıklı büyüme ve gelişmenin bir parçası olarak kabul edilmektedir. Gençlerin ÜS/CS gereksinimleri, sorun ve hakları özelikle son 25 yılda gündemdedir ve karşılan(a)mayan üreme sağlığı gereksinimleri dünyada ve ülkemizde önemli halk sağlığı sorunları arasındadır. Karşılan(a)mayan üreme sağlığı gereksinimleri istenmeyen gebelikler, ergenlik dönemi gebelikleri, sağlıksız düşükler ve cinsel yolla bulaşan enfeksiyonlar (CYBE) ile sonuçlanmaktadır. Bu sağlık sorunlarının bedeli kimi kez çok ağır ödenmektedir. Bu risklerden korunmak sadece doğru bilgi ve olumlu davranışlarla mümkündür. Bunun en etkili, ucuz ve ulaşılır yolu ise ÜS/CS eğitiminin örgün eğitim içerisinde verilmesidir. Adölesanların yaşamı bilinçli seçeneklerle düzenleyebilmeleri için seçim yapma özgürlüğünü kullanabilmesi, yaptığı seçimlerin sorumluluğunu alabilmesi, cinselliğe karşı olumlu bir tutum içinde cinsel kimliklerinden hoşnut, bedenlerinin ve duygularının bilincinde erişkinler olabilmeleri cinsel sağlık eğitiminin başlıca amacıdır. Sosyal iletişim deneyiminin yetersizliği, kendi bedenleri hakkında ve nereden yardım alacakları konusunda bilgisizlik sıklıkla genç insanların gereksinimleri olan doğru hizmete ulaşmalarını sınırlamaktadır. Ayrıca özellikle ülkemizde sağlık olanakları gençler için ÜS/CS bilgisi/danışmanlığı ve hizmet sunumu yönünden çoğunlukla yetersiz kalmaktadır. Örgün eğitim programı içerisinde ÜS/CS ile ilgili konulara çok az değinilmektedir. Medyanın, gençlerin kendi cinsellikleri hakkında bilinçli karar vermelerini sağlayabilecek bir bilgi kaynağı olması bir seçenek iken, zaman zaman yanlış bilgiler vererek, olumsuz etkilere neden olabilmektedir. Çoğu aile geleneksel değerler nedeniyle cinsel konularda çocukları ile konuşmaya açık değillerdir ve çocukların ergenlik döneminde yaşadıkları sıkıntılar aileler tarafından göz ardı edilebilmektedir. Bu nedenlerle adölesan yaş grubuna verilen cinsellik hakkındaki eğitim programlarının yaygınlaştırılması gerekmektedir.

In group 1, weakness was the most commonly recognised warning sign 101(96.2%), whereas dyspnoea 41(39%), was the least commonly identified. There was no relationship of stroke knowledge with educational level and age (p>0.05 each). Conclusions: Caregivers had a moderate knowledge of some of the warning signs and risk factors about stroke.
Biosynthesis of AgNPs by extract from waste leaves of Citrullus lanatus sp. (watermelon); characterization, antibacterial and antifungal effects
(Progress in Nutrition, 2021) Aktepe, Necmettin; Baran, Ayşe
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are valuable materials with a large number of sectors used. Green synthesis is very important for biomedical applications as they show biocompatible properties. In this study, AgNPs were easily synthesized using the environmentally friendly green synthesis approach using agricultural waste parts of Citrullus lanatus sp. plant grown in Diyarbakır region. Characterization of synthesized AgNPs was made. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was used to evaluate the phytochemicals responsible for effective reduction in the formation of AgNPs. UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis.) Spectra were also used to determine the presence of AgNPs. X-Ray Diffraction Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope, Zeta potential analyzes were performed to define the crystal structures, dimensions and surface charges of AgNPs, respectively. In these data, it was determined that AgNPs showed maximum absorbance at 460 nm, spherical appearance, 21.27 crystal nano size and -30.05 mV zeta potential. Antimicrobial effects of AgNPs on gram positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) bacteria, gram negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteria, as well as on fungus C. albicans pathogenic microorganisms It was analyzed by specifying the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) by microdilution.
Causes and Solutions For Emergency Department Overcrowding. A Qualitative Study of Healthcare Staff
(3. Uluslararası ACHARAKA Tıp, Hemşirelik ve Sağlık Bilimleri Kongresi, 2023) Bütün, Ahmet
Background: Emergency departments (EDs) are the units where the diagnosis and treatment of acute cases requiring immediate intervention and the ED environment could be chaotic and risky for staff and patients. However, ED overcrowding is a major problem globally and lead to many negative consequences such as long waiting time, reduced satisfaction of patients and healthcare staff, delays in the treatment of patients who most require urgent care, decreased quality of the health care provided, and increased health care costs. The aim of this study is to determine why patients prefer to use the ED, to identify current problems of ED services and to develop solutions to alleviate ED overcrowding and associated problems from the perspectives of ED healthcare staff. Methods: This study utilised a qualitative approach. The participants were ED consultants, ED doctors and ED nurses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 participants between 20th December 2021 and 18th February 2022. Those who have at least 1 year of experience in ED settings were included in this study. The settings for this study were Diyarbakir Training and Research Hospital (4 ED nurses, 1 ED consultant, and 2 ED doctors), Mardin Training and Research Hospital (3 ED nurses and 2 ED doctors), Midyat Public Hospital (1 ED consultant, 1 ED doctor and 3 ED nurse), Kiziltepe Public Hospital (3 ED nurse), and Ceylanpinar Public Hospital (1 ED nurse and 1 ED doctor). Ethical approval was obtained from Mardin Artuklu University Ethics Committee (Date: 14/12/2021, Ref: E-76272411-900-36850). Findings: Twenty-two ED healthcare staff were interviewed; 16 were male and 6 were female. The participants were aged between 21-30 (n=12), 31-40 (n=6) and 41-50 (n=4). ED staff interviews were conducted with 14 ED nurses, 6 ED doctors, and 2 ED consultants, who had at least 1-year of work experience in the ED, without any consideration of their gender or age. Five main themes emerged: Insufficient healthcare system, patient-related problems, ED advantages, consequences of ED overcrowding, and solutions for ED overcrowding. Conclusion: Insufficient healthcare system, ED advantages, and patients’ perceptions about using healthcare services led patients to use ED and subsequently to the ED overcrowding. There is a need for effective solutions to alleviate ED overcrowding. The precautions to limit non-urgent ED visits are not enough. Many factors need to be considered and all of them should be applied together accordingly.

Comparison of the Breastfeeding Practices of Refugee Syrian Mothers and Native Turkish Mothers
(Breastfeeding Medicine, 2020) Çifçi, Sema; Ertem, Melikşah; Çifçi, Sema
Background: The World Health Organization recommends that babies be breastfed within the first hour of delivery and that they should exclusively be given breast milk in the first 6 months. The aim of this study was to ascertain the breastfeeding behaviors of refugee Syrian women and to compare their practices with those of the native mothers of the local community. Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in a Southern city in Turkey. The questionnaire was filled by face-to-face interviews. A total of 381 refugee Syrian mothers were compared with 381 native women living in the same community. Results: A significant difference was found between the two groups regarding breastfeeding. The rate of those who initiated breastfeeding within 1 hour after delivery was 61.4% for the Syrians and 71.1% for the Turkish mothers. In addition, the rates of exclusive breastfeeding (28.1 versus 34.1) and continuing breastfeeding for 12 months (55.0 versus 63.8) were lower in the Syrian refugee mothers. Maternal age and educational level were not correlated to the breastfeeding rates. Conclusions: This study is a rare study in which refugee mothers and local mothers were compared. Forced migration and refugee status are negatively associated with breastfeeding behavior.
Correlation between vitamin D status and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale's comprehension subtest in patient with end-stage renal diseases
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016) Karaoğlan, Mehmet; Emre, Memet Hanifi; Demirtaş, Yasemin; Şahin, İdris; Taşkapan, Hülya
Aim: Cognitive decline is an important problem for individuals, as well as for the community. Increasing evidence suggests that vitamin D may play a role in maintaining cognitive function and vitamin D deficiency may accelerate cognitive decline. The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of vitamin D in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and to correlate the findings with cognitive functions. Materials and methods: The study was performed in Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center. Serum 25hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured and cognitive functions (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale’s (WAIS) Comprehension Subtest) tested with 51 peritoneal dialysis patients and a control group consisting of 51 healthy individuals have similar conditions with patients. Individuals with other chronic diseases and smoking and alcohol habits which may impair cognitive functions were excluded from the study. Results: Compared to each groups we found negative correlation between 25(OH)D3 levels and WAIS’s Comprehension Subtest in patient and control group. The correlation between data was evaluated with the Spearman’s test (P = 0.597, r = 0.76 and P = 0.010 r = 0.356 respectively). Conclusions: In the literature, there is no consensus on the presence of an association between vitamin D levels and cognition. In this study vitamin D levels were measured as deficiency in both groups. Further studies are needed to investigate for increasing actual knowledge about this association.

(Dergipark, 2021) Tanrıverdi, Ömer; Tanrıverdi, Seher
Dünyada hızla yayılıp yaklaşık 2 milyon insanın ölümüne sebep olan coronavirüs (COVID-19), ilk olarak Çin’in Wuhan Eyaleti’nde 2019 yılı Aralık ayının sonlarında ortaya çıkarak, solunum yolu enfeksiyonuna neden olup, insandan insana bulaşabilen bir virüstür. Önce Asya sınırlarına, sonra tüm Avrupa’ya yayılan COVID-19 WHO tarafından pandemi olarak kabul edildi. Pandemi sürecindeki bu müdahaleler bireysel ve toplumsal ruh sağlığı üzerinde oldukça olumsuz etkiler oluşturmaktadır. Toplumun salgınla mücadele sürecinin en önemli üyelerinden olan sağlık çalışanları da bu olumsuz etkilere en fazla maruz kalan meslek gruplarından olup fiziksel ve psikolojik yönden birçok tehdite maruz kalmaktadırlar. COVID-19 salgınının ilk ortaya çıktığı Wuhan kentinde sağlıkçılar üzerinde gerçekleştirilen ilk çalışmada, salgının hemen ardından sağlık ekiplerinin %71,3'ünde eşik altı ve hafif düzeyde, %22,4'ünde orta düzeyde, %6,2’sinde ciddi düzeyde ruhsal bozuklukların meydana geldiği belirlenmiştir. COVID-19 pandemisinde sağlık çalışanlarının ruhsal travmalardan korunması için; yeterli uyku, yoga, meditasyon gibi gevşeme uygulamaları stres azaltıcı, müzik dinleme, resim çizme gibi yöntemler faydalı olacaktır.

Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation “Homophobia in Healthcare Employees”: a Cross-Sectional Study
(Springer, 2024) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Kaçan, Havva
Introduction: The study was conducted to examine the attitudes of healthcare employees toward homosexuals and the factors affecting them, while homophobic thoughts and behaviors are based on heteronormative cultural beliefs and gender stereotypes. Methods: This study was planned as a cross-sectional and completed with 720 healthcare employees. The Demographic Information Form and Hudson and Ricketts Homophobia Scale were used in the study. Data were collected between January 06 and January 10, 2022. Results: The mean homophobia total score of the employees was determined as 97,503 ± 25,807. Homophobia levels of male healthcare employees, those who thought homosexuality is a disease, and those who stated that homosexuality can be caused by taking an example had increasing homophobia levels. The level of homophobia decreases in the presence of homosexual friends, those who can talk freely about homosexuality, and healthcare employees who support same-sex marriage. Conclusions: Recognition of individuals with different sexual orientations by healthcare employees will reduce homophobic attitudes toward these individuals. Examining the level of homophobia in healthcare institutions and ensuring that discriminatory attitudes or behaviors toward individuals from different sexual orientations are determined to be effective on the quality of healthcare and access to healthcare services. Policy Implications: There is a healthcare system in which patients are generally assumed to be heterosexual; healthcare employees are not prepared to work with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual patients in general. Studies conducted on this subject indicate that more studies are needed on the subject to implement a healthcare policy focusing on sexual diversity in healthcare services and to discuss healthcare practices for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual population.
Domestic violence and affectıng factors among married women aged between 15-49 Years
(Medicine Science, 2020) Çifçi, Sema; Açık, Yasemin
Domestic violence against women is an important public health problem commonly encountered in all societies, manifesting itself as a negative outcome of gender inequality. This study has been carried out in Mardin province to determine the prevalence of exposure to domestic violence among women aged between 15-49 years and the affecting factors. The population of the study consisted of the women aged between 15-49 years living in Mardin and 1111 people were selected for sampling. Through repeated visits, 1064 people were included in the study (the responsiveness rate was 95.8%). x² (chi-square) test was used in the statistical analysis. The average age of women was 32.5 ± 8.2. 29.4% of them were illiterate. 47.5% of them were married by prearrangement. 25.9% of them were subjected to physical violence by their father and 37.6% by their mother in the past. The women were exposed to physical (44.5%), verbal/emotional (56.4%), economic (37.7%), and sexual violence (14.8%) at least once in their lifetime. 13.2% of them are still exposed to domestic physical violence, 15.8% to verbal/emotional violence, and 7.3% to sexual violence. As the educational levels, socioeconomic status, and monthly income of women and their husbands decrease, the rate of exposure to violence increases (p <0.05). The factors such as being married by bride exchange and bride price, having a familial history of honor killing, living with a co-wife, experiencing childhood violence, having an alcoholic and gambling husband increase the rate of exposure of women to violence (p <0.05). Domestic violence against women was found to be significantly high in Mardin province. Considering the socio-economic and cultural conditions of the region, legal and social regulations should be enforced in cooperation with non-governmental organizations, public institutions as well as local and national press.

(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2021) Deger, Vasfiye Bayram
Objective: The precautions taken during the pandemic period may cause stress-related eating behavior disorders. It was aimed to test this hypothesis, and the study was carried out to examine pandemic measures the effect of on the nutritional, depression and stress conditions of people with obesity. Methods: The individuals who participated in the study were people with obesity who received follow-up dietary therapy in a private hospital. Three separate scales were applied to the individuals, which measured the desire to overeating request, depression status and stress-fighting status. Results: This study was conducted on 368 individuals. Women had lower values of BMI (28.57 +/- 3.89 kg/cm(2)) than men ( 30.64 +/- 2.87 kg/cm(2)). When the scores of the excessive eating request scale mean scores before and during the pandemic were examined, it was seen that the scores of the individuals increased during the pandemic. In the multivariate regression model, it was seen that the increase of stress and BMI increased the FCQ score (p<0.001). Multiple regression models were created by taking into account the criteria that caused the score increase. Each variable can predict the FCQ score separately. The predictor significance order of variants on FCQ score beta values is as follows: the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) (beta=0.774), before pandemic FCQ (beta = 0.601), the Perceived Stress Scale ( PSS) (beta=-0.268), before pandemic BMIa (beta=-0.223), during pandemic BMIb (beta=0.073), and age (beta=-0.013). Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic, making applications such as quarantine in pandemic processes has successful results in being able to combat its. However, undesirable conditions such as stress can have serious negative consequences on other health measurements. It was observed in the results of this study that excessive eating food desire developed in people with obesity.
Editorial: Anxiety, burnout, and stress among healthcare professionals
(Frontiers, 2023) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye
The technology, informatics and social fields are experiencing continuous changes and developments day by day. Such changes and developments influence human life and expand the fields of research. One of these fields is the world of work life. Work life is an area where people spend a significant part of their lives by spending time and effort. The willingness of employees to make quality use of their time and labor significantly affects the efficiency obtained as a result of their work (Burton, 2010). The nature of the work requirements and the quantity of communication with other people in the workplace create challenging situations for employees. In this context, when it comes to health in work life, health workers are seen as an important sample group in terms of researching variables in work life, since their field requires qualified labor force, is vital and is a profession that constantly involves face-to-face interaction with people. The health sector is one of the sectors where employees have the most difficulties due to various factors. The health sector differs from other working environments due to the difficulty of serving patients with severe stress and the fact that employees in this sector often face stressful situations in their daily working environment.

Background:Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is among the biggest and most important problems experienced by ED staff. The number of ED visits is on the increase and remains an unresolved problem. Emergency department overcrowding has become an important problem for emergency care services worldwide. There is a relationship between overcrowding and patients’ negative experiences of using ED and therefore reporting reduced patients’ satisfaction. This study aimed to identify the causes of ED overcrowding, determine the reasons for people’s use of EDs, and develop solutions for reducing ED overcrowding. Methods: This study used quantitative methods using a descriptive approach. The participants were patients who visited the ED. A questionnaire was administered to 296 participants between December 2021 and February 2022. The study included 5 different hospitals in Turkey. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: This study identified themost common presentingmedical problems in the ED andwhy patients used the ED. Reasons for using the ED included patients perceiving their condition as really urgent (62.8%), the ED being open for 24 hours (36.1%), and receiving faster care in the ED (31.4%). This study also developed recommendations for alleviating ED overcrowding. Conclusion: This study identified causes of ED overcrowding and some solutions for alleviating the issue. Emergency department overcrowding should be perceived as an international problem, and initiatives for solutions should be implemented quickly.
ERUCA SATIVA MILL SEEDS OIL ALLEVIATES HYPERLIPIDEMIA AND NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE IN SYRIAN HAMSTER
(2022) Alhilal, M; Sulaiman, Y A M; Subuh, A M; Habra, N; Alhilal, S
The impact of oils rich in long chain monounsaturated fatty acids (LCMUFA) against hyperlipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been inadequately described. In addition, the chemical solvents and the high temperature used in vegetable oils extraction process from seeds cause severe loss of many vital compounds. So the goal of this paper was to examine the effect of cold pressed Eruca sativa Mill seeds oil (ESSO), as a source of LCMUFA, on hyperlipidemia and NAFLD in Syrian hamster. The ESSO content of fatty acids was analyzed using chromatographic methods. Fifty two (52) healthy male golden Syrian hamsters used in this experiment were randomly divided into 4 groups (Completely Randomized Design). Negative control group, CHD group, positive control group and ESSO group. This experiment was achieved in two periods. The first period continued 4 weeks, in which hyperlipidemia and NAFLD were induced in CHD, positive control and ESSO groups through feeding on a hyperlipidemic diet. The second period also lasted 4 weeks, in which ESSO was orally gavaged at 2 g/kg of the body weight daily to animals of ESSO group. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, HDL-C and glucose and the activities of ALT, AST, ALP, LDH and CK were analysed in the serum. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's multiple range test was used for statistical analysis. The consumption of hyperlipidemic diet for 4 weeks caused a significant raise (P<0.05) of triglycerides, glucose, ALT, AST, LDH, CK and a significant reduction (P<0.05) of the HDL-C/TC ratio, at the same time created lipid accumulation in liver cells in CHD, positive control and ESSO groups in comparison with negative control group at the end of the first period. These negative influences were alleviated in ESSO group by administration of ESSO at the end of second period. In conclusion, The examined cold pressed ESSO has effective hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective effects in Syrian hamsters with hyperlipidemia and NAFLD.
