Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 15The relationship of fast food consumption with sociodemographic factors, body mass index and dietary habits among university students(Emerald, 2022) Aslan Ceylan, Jiyan; Hatipoğlu, Abdulkerim; Hatipoğlu, Abdulkerim; Arslan, Nurgül; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik BölümüPurpose – University students are one of the vulnerable groups in terms of having nutritional problems due to their lifestyle and social environment. This study aims to determine the consumption of fast food among university students and evaluate factors that may impact it, such as sociodemographic factors, body mass index (BMI) or nutritional habits. Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional study was conducted among a random sample of 184 university students (47.8% men and 52.2% women) with a mean age of 21.1 6 2.0 years. The survey included students’ sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, nutritional habits and fast-food consumption. Chi-square test, t-test and binary logistic regression analysis were used depending on the characteristics of the data. Findings – Results indicated that 39.7% of the students consumed fast food at least once in 15 days and preferred these foods for taste, workload and social activity. Consumption of fast food occurred at an earlier age in men (%13.6) and the portions were higher than portions of vegetables (p = 0.001). By using regression analysis, a statistically significant relationship was found between the frequency of fast-food consumption and age, gender, economic status, BMI, the amount of vegetables consumed daily and the habit of eating breakfast (p < 0.05). Research limitations/implications – It is planned to reach more students in the study. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, transportation to students became difficult or could not be reached. Originality/value – This study is one of the rare studies examining students’ orientation to fast food. The number of studies in this field in Turkey is limited.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Evaluation of the organizational innovation and self-efficiency levels of health workers(Acta Scientiarum. Health Sciences, 2023) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Vural Doğru, Birgül; Arslan, Nurgül; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik BölümüThe aim of this study was determine whether the personal features of the participants create a difference in terms of organizational innovation. This study was conducted with 1234 nurses and midwives. A multiple regression model was created to see and predict the effect on individuals' total innovative scores and self-efficacy scores. The total innovative and the self-efficacy score are predicted with multiple regression analyses. It was observed that the variable that most affected both the total innovative score and the self-efficacy score of the individuals was the education level of the individuals. The fact that midwives and nurses have a certain level of innovative and self-confidence is important for the society to receive better and faster health services. In this study, it was observed that the education level was important for the development of innovative and self-confidence in both groups.Article Citation - WoS: 0Common and atypical otorhinolaryngological findings of Covid-19(Cukurova Medical Journal, 2021) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Sarı, Neslihan; Arslan, Nurgül; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü; Department of Surgical Medical Sciences / Cerrahi Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik BölümüPurpose: Several atypical presentations of COVID-19 like anosmia, conjuctivitis, and gastrointestinal findings are seen in the literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the common and atypical symptoms of COVID-19 among the patients admitted to the otorhinolaryngology (ENT) outpatient clinic. Materials and Methods: This case series was conducted with 49 patients who applied to hospital between April 1, 2020 and April 30, 2020. Common and atypical otolaryngological findings were recorded. Sociodemographic findings and blood parameters were also evaluated. Results: Of the patients, 59.18% were aged 40 and over, 46.94% were of the A blood group, 55.10% were male and 24.49% were smokers, 51.02% had a chronic disease. Among typical symptoms; fever (71.43%), a dry cough (46.94%), shortness of breath (42.86%) was seen. Diarrhea (48.98%), runny nose (51.02%), nasal congestion (42.85%), sore throat (22.44%), headaches (32.65%), 18.36% olfactory disorder, 26.53% gustatory disturbance were noted. Olfactory and gustatory disturbances are found to be related to good prognosis and mild clinical course. The difference between Hg and D–dimer levels of the female and male patients were found to be statistically significant. The D-dimer levels determined in the present study were higher than those reported in the literature. Conclusion: While COVID-19 present with common symptoms, sometimes atypical symptoms can be the only finding during initial application to the hospital. Olfactory and gustatory disturbances point to the effects of COVID-19 on neurons. Neuronal effects like olfactory and gustatory disturbances should be closely monitored in COVID-19 patients in long term.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Effect of pleurotus Ostreatus Water Extract Consumption on Blood Parameters and Cytokine Values in Healthy Volunteers(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Acay, Hilal; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Arslan, Nurgul; Acay, Hilal; Arslan, Nurgül; Hatipoğlu, Abdulkerim; Yaprak, Bulent; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüObjective: Our aim in this study is, does 29-day regular consumption of Pleurotus ostreatus water extract by volunteer individuals who meet the study criteria have an effect on blood and cytokine values? Method: In accordance with the purpose of the study, volunteers were asked to consume 100 ml of the extract every morning for 29 days. Three tubes of blood samples were taken from the volunteers on the 15th and 29th days of the study. Biochemical and hematological analysis of the blood samples were performed and immunomodulatory effects through cytokines were examined. The values obtained from 3 tubes of blood obtained from volunteers before the use of mushroom extract were used as control. The chemical composition and beta-glucan content of 100 ml of mushroom water extract were also analyzed. Result: IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13 could not be detected because the values were below the lowest standard value. TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta 15th and 29th day values decreased compared to the 1st day (control) values (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference observed between the 15th and 29th day. No abnormalities were observed in biochemical and hematological values. Also, the beta-glucan content of extract was found 38.12 mg/100 ml. Conclusion: The frequency range of kidney and liver function test results confirmed that P. osreatus is a reliable food source. Considering the cytokine values these results indicate that P. ostreatus water extract has an anti-inflammatory effect. As no significant difference was observed in 29 days of use, it is thought that 15 days of daily consumption of the extract may be sufficient for the anti-inflammatory effect to occur. However, a large number of qualified clinical trials are needed to support the issue.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Relationship Between School Performance and Breakfast Quality in Refugee Children: Case Study of Mardin Region(IRANIAN JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS, 2021) Arslan, Nurgül; Arslan, Nurgul; Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Dağ, İbrahim; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik BölümüBackground: Many studies have found that the academic success of school-age children is proved to be in close relation with regular and healthy nutrition. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between breakfast quality and academic success of refugee primaryschool children. Methods: After scanning 24 schools in the city center, 384 students who were refugee Syrians from primary schools in Mardin city center were included. In addition to the demographic characteristics of the individuals, breakfast habits of these students were investigated. Results: In this study, 91.6% of the children stated that they have breakfast habits. The reasons for skipping breakfast among students of all levels can be listed as being late for school (67.8%) and not liking to have breakfast (18.8%). The breakfast quality index (BQI) score was low in both boys and girls and all age groups. According to this marked value, all age groups had poor nutrition in terms of breakfast. Although girls showed a significant difference in all age groups (P = 0.046), this difference was not significant among boys (P = 0.671). The number of students with a breakfast quality score higher than 8 was very low. It was observed that boys had the highest academic success with the lowest breakfast quality score. The breakfast quality score of girls with the best academic success ranged between 4 - 7 points. Conclusions: It was observed that academic success was linked to having breakfast habit, and students had breakfast habit performed relatively better in school compared to those who did not.Article Citation - Scopus: 0Nutritional Status of Syrian Female Migrants in Turkey: a Cross-Sectional Study(Intelektual Pustaka Media Utama, 2023) Arslan, Nurgül; Çifci, S.; Değer, V.B.; Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik BölümüIt is known that individuals who are immigrants experience malnutrition due to various reasons. The present study was conducted to compare the nutritional status of immigrant women, who arrive in Turkey from Syria, before and after migration, and to determine the factors that affect their current healthy eating index scores. The individuals participating in the study were recruited from Immigrant Health Unit in Mardin-Turkey. The sampling of this cross-sectional study consisted of the women who were between the ages of 15-49, 450 Syrian migrant women participated in the study. The data were collected with face-to-face interview technique and with a questionnaire that consisted of 2 parts. According to the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 score of the individuals mean was found to be 52.90±9.40. According to the hierarchical regression model, the monthly income, life expectancy in Turkey, body mass index (BMI), and the number of individuals in the family were statistically significant components to predict the mean HEI score. It was determined that the basic eating habits of individuals changed in the country of immigration, and more foods with high carbohydrate and saturated fat contents were consumed. It is required to design comprehensive studies and policies. © 2023, Intelektual Pustaka Media Utama. All rights reserved.
