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; 09.01. Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
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.

Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation “Homophobia in Healthcare Employees”: a Cross-Sectional Study
(Springer, 2025) Deger, Vasfiye Bayram; Kacan, Havva
IntroductionThe 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.MethodsThis 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.ResultsThe 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.ConclusionsRecognition 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 ImplicationsThere 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.
Randomized controlled study:investigation of the effcet of exercise on liver function tests, fatigue and quality of life in patients with liver cirrhosis
(JOURNAL OF HEPATOLOGY, 2021) Keskin, Hülya; Türeyen, Aynur; Akarca, Ulus; 09.07. Department of Audiology/ Odyoloji Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Background and aims: This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of the exercise program to be applied in patients with cirrhosis on the patient’s biochemistry parameters, quality of life, fatigue level, depression, and quality of sleep. Method: The study population consisted of 84 patients, including the physical exercise group (PE, n = 27), the breathing exercise group (BE, n = 29), and the no intervention group (NI, n = 28).An exercise program (5 minutes warm-up, 30 minutes walking, 5 minutes cooldown) and a 10-minute breathing exercise were requested 7days a week for 3 months in PE and BE patients, respectively. The patients were trained on how to perform the exercises and all the patients were followed up by phone calls on the exercise days and on the same days for the NI group to motivate the patients. Personal Information Form, 6-Minute Walking Test, Body Mass Index (BMI) Assessment Form, SF-36 Quality of Life Scale, Biochemistry Parameters Assessment Form, Child-Pugh Score Assessment Form, Beck’s Depression Inventory, Fatigue Severity Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were completed by face-to-face interviews at the beginning and the end of the study period. Differences between the data at the onset and at the end within the groups were tested by the Wilcoxon test. Comparisons of the differences of the groups were performed with GLM repeated measures.
