    Doğan, Erol; Erail, Serhat; Mayda, Muhammet Hakan; Yılmaz, Coşkun; Karaduman, Emre; Yılmaz, Ali Kerim; Bayram, Levent; Keskin, Deniz Özge Yüceloğlu; Ermiş, Egemen

    Study Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether the Kinesio tape (KT) application through reverse taping on the quadriceps (Q) and hamstring (H) muscles have any effect on anaerobic power (AP). Methods: Sixteen healthy males were included in the study voluntarily. Muscle facilitation and muscle inhibition techniques were performed on the Q and H muscles of both the right and left sides by applying KT in the reverse direction, and AP parameters were measured using a Wingate ergometer. In trial 1 (Baseline), KT was not applied to the participants. In trial 2 (KT), the muscle facilitation technique was applied on the vastus medialis muscle in the Q of both legs, and the muscle inhibition technique was applied on the biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles in the H, and AP performances of the participants were taken. The SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Paired sample t-test was used to analyze the differences between trials. Results: KT gave higher values than Baseline with regards to peak power, relative peak power, average power, and relative average power (p < 0.05). In addition, as a result of the KT application, there were minor improvements in minimum power, relative minimum peak power, power drop, and peak power %. However, these differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: It was observed that KT applied in the reverse direction on the Q and H muscle groups had a positive effect on AP. It was considered that this effect associated with the reverse KT application stemmed from the different tensions that decreased the neuronal threshold, which in turn ensured faster and easier stimulation of motor units and increased the muscle reflex, leading to a positive effect on AP.

    Analysis of Mining Lost Time Incident Duration Influencing Factors Through Machine Learning

    Kahraman, Muhammet Mustafa

    Despite technological advancements and organizational adjustments, lost time accidents are major issues in occupational safety. However, there is very limited work that focuses on variables influencing days lost as a result of occupational accidents. In this study, decision tree and artificial neural network methods were used as machine learning techniques to investigate the impact of factors on accident lost day duration. Degree of injury, worker age, and worker activity were found to be the top three variables impacting loss of time from work. It was also identified that the mining method, location, and nature of injury had a moderate influence on duration lost due to occupational accidents. However, worker experience and ore type did not have any significant impact on the duration, which is an unexpected result. These results confirmed that some accident factors that might have a large influence on the number of mine accidents can be less critical when it comes to accident lost day duration.

    Corrigendum to “The effect of reiki on pain: A meta-analysis” [Compl. Ther. Clin. Pract. 31C (2018) 384–387] (Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice (2018) 31 (384–387), (S1744388117303626), (10.1016/j.ctcp.2018.02.020))

    Demir Doğan, Melike

    The authors wish to inform that the correct abstract for the article is given below: Objective: Pain is one of the most common symptoms and may lead to important psychological, mental, and physiological problems in individuals. According to data by The Center for Reiki Research, Reiki is an effective approach to decrease the levels of pain, depression, and anxiety. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of Reiki on pain level. Methods: Randomized controlled clinical trials in databases of Pubmed, ISI Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar were investigated. Four randomized controlled studies which involving 212 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Results: The result obtained after the final Reiki application was evaluated in VAS pain score. When Reiki (n = 104) group was compared with control group (n = 108), standardized mean difference was observed to be −0.927 (95% CI: −1.867 to 0.0124). Conclusion: Consequently, meta-analysis shows there is a trend towards lower pain scores after Reiki intervention. It is recommended to repeat the study when the number of studies with specific patient groups and types of pain increase. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Health research in vegan women

    Özcan, Handan; Elkoca, Ayşe; Şahan, Özlem; Yilmaz, Sibel; Erişen, Begüm

    Study Objectives: This planned research aimed to identify the conditions for women’s health in women who prefer vegan diets. Method: The study consists of vegan women and the sample consists of a total of 150 women who agreed to participate in the study. The data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of 34 questions. Associations and vegan women were reached out via social media. Results: The average age of the participants was 28.96±8.50 and 33.3% were married. The average year in which women continue to eat vegan is 3.29±5.25. 62% of vegan women stated that their menstrual periods were painless, 87.3% stated that their menstrual periods were regular, and 75.3% stated that they did not have any gynecological diseases. The most common complaints in vegan women are stress and anxiety (27.1%), continuous discharge (27.1), depression (25), polycystic ovary syndrome (20.8), urinary tract infection (20.8), and fibroids (12.5). 18% of vegan women had been diagnosed with anemia, of which 18.8% used anemia treatment. Conclusion: It was found that vegan women did not have many complaints in terms of gynecology while existing complaints were similar or even lower in terms of disease rates seen in the total population. The study group’s high level of education and awareness and regular health checkups are among the factors affecting the results. The low vegan diet averages of the women covered in the study and the fact that a greater number of women were out of reach show the limitations of the study.

    Phenolic contents and biological activities of two endemic plants in Turkey

    Acet, Tuba; Çorbacı, Cengiz; Özcan, Kadriye

    In the paper, the phenolic compounds and biological activity of Corydalis oppositifolia DC. and Senecio cilicius Boiss., the endemic plants growing in Turkey, were investigated for the first time. The ethanol extract of C. oppositifolia exhibited more potent antimicrobial activity while the ethanol extract of S. cilicius exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity on ABTS (81.4±1.1a mg TE g−1 extract) and DPPH (23.4±0.2a mg TE g−1 extract). In C. oppositifolia, the highest total flavonoid and phenolic acid contents were found to be in the ethanol (94.2±3.5a mg QE g−1 extract) and methanol (320.5±3.3c mg GAE g−1 extract) extracts, respectively. In S. cilicius, the highest total flavonoid and phenolic acid contents were found to be in the methanol (56.9±0.9c mg QE g−1 extract) and ethanol (568.0±3.3a mg GAE g−1 extract) extracts, respectively. The ethanol extract of C. oppositifolia has the most prominent activity against α-amylase, AChE and BChE whereas the methanol extract of this plant displayed the highest inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. HPLC analysis of the ethanol extracts revealed that the major flavonoids were kaempferol and quercetin whereas the major phenolic acids were protocatechuic acid, gallic acid, gentistic acid and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The findings suggested that the plants and their extracts have the potential to be used in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's diseases.

    Vayisoglu, Sumbule Koksoy; Oncu, Emine; Kazak, Aysun; Aktas, Gamze

    Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of iron, vitamin D and multivitamin supplement usage among pregnant women and the factors associated with it. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 15, 2018 and September 30, 2018 among a total of 400 pregnant women by the questionnaire form consisted of 27 questions. Hemoglobin values below 11g/dl were considered as anemia. Results: The mean age of the pregnant women was 28.2±5.2 years, and 170 (42.5%) of them had anemia. Among the pregnant women, 302 (75.5%) had been recommended to use iron, 208 (52.0%) had been recommended to use Vit D and 308 (77.0%) had been recommended to use multivitamin. Among the pregnant women 250 (62.5%) of them use iron, 146 (36.5%) of them use vitamin D and 262 (65.5%) of them use multivitamin. Conclusion: Although programs for iron and vitamin D have been carried out for many years, the use of vitamin D and iron in pregnant women were not at the desired level. Although there is not a routine recommendation, multivitamin use during pregnancy was found to be quite common.

    Adaptation of hurricane risk perception scale to earthquake risk perception and determining the factors affecting women's earthquake risk perception

    Mızrak, Sefa; Özdemir, Ahmet; Aslan, Ramazan

    Worldwide studies show that gender is an important variable affecting disaster risk perception and that women have high levels of disaster risk perception. The objective of this study is to investigate women’s earthquake risk perception as well as the factors that may help predict it. The data of the study were collected from 463 women living in Kocaeli (Turkey) by survey method. The study, which employed ordinary logistic regression analysis, analysed whether the same dependent variable was predicted by different independent variables in five models. Many of the women who participated in the research reported that they were more sensitive to earthquakes. The items with the highest mean among women's affective and cognitive risk perception factors are the items that measure fear and financial perception, respectively. Education and age significantly help predict women’s earthquake risk perception. Living in dread of earthquakes and being depressed and worried for future generations make women feel more sensitive. This study has showed that all the underlying factors affecting women's disaster risk perception should be understood more deeply. It is thought that the results of the study will contribute to studies related to disaster management, risk perception, and women.

    The relationship between anxiety levels and anger expression styles of nurses during COVID-19 pandemic

    Bayrak, Nurten Gülsüm; Uzun, Sevda; Kulakaç, Nurşen

    Objective: This study was carried out in a cross-sectional and correlational design to explore the relationship between anxiety levels and anger expression styles of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The sample of this cross-sectional and correlational type of study consisted of 618 nurses calculated with the snowball sampling method. The data were collected using a questionnaire developed by the researchers, the state anxiety inventory, and the trait anger and anger expression scale and was conducted between May 10 and 20, 2020 using an online questionnaire form. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, the Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results: The mean age of nurses was 34.98 ± 8.36 years (min: 20; max: 53), 87.4% were women, and 81.7% experienced a high level of anxiety. The anger scores of the participants were found to be 20.04 ± 4.43, the anger-in score was 15.55 ± 3.34, the anger-out score was 14.01 ± 2.87, and the anger control score was 22.93 ± 3.6. Being married, the presence of chronic disease, living in the Marmara region, working shifts, presence of an individual over 65 years of age at home, and having a COVID-19 test were found to be risk factors that significantly increase nurses' anxieties. A significant positive relationship was found between the anxiety scores, trait anger (r = 0.249, p = 0.000), anger-in (r = 0.174, p = 0.000) and anger-out (r = 0.205, p = 0.000) scores of nurses, and a significant negative relationship was found between the anxiety scores and anger control (r = 0.249, p = 0.000) score. Conclusion: The study revealed that in the COVID-19 pandemic the anxiety levels of the nurses were high and that the high anxiety level negatively affected the style of anger expression, but the nurses were successful in maintaining anger control. In line with these results, it is important that nurses develop effective coping strategies to reduce their anxiety levels and that they receive increased levels of support in managing anger expression.

    The effect of chewing gum on dry mouth, interdialytic weight gain, and intradialytic symptoms: A prospective, randomized controlled trial

    Ozen, Nurten; Aydin Sayilan, Aylin; Mut, Dilek; Sayilan, Samet; Avcioglu, Zeynep; Kulakac, Nursen; Ecder, Tevfik; Akyolcu, Neriman

    Introduction The major salivary glands can be stimulated by chewing gum to increase saliva flow and decrease xerostomia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chewing gum on dry mouth, interdialytic weight gain, and intradialytic symptoms in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods This prospective randomized controlled single-blind study was conducted with patients who had been treated for at least 6 months with sessions 3 days a week for 4 hours at two HD units. Patients were randomly allocated to chewing gum group or the control group. In the chewing gum group, gum was chewed for 10 minutes six times a day, and when the patients felt mouth dryness or were thirsty. In the nonchewing gum group, gum was not chewed. The patients were followed-up for 3 months. A total of three saliva samples were taken before starting treatment at the first, 12th, and 36th HD session. Data were collected with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Hemodialysis Patients Fluid Control Scale, Dialysis Symptom Index, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12. Findings The study was completed with a total of 44 patients consisting of 22 patients in the each group. The second and third month VAS values (xerostomia) of the patients in the chewing gum groups were statistically significantly lower than those in the control group (P= 0.014,P < 0.001, respectively). The third month salivary flow rate in the chewing gum group was higher than the values in the control group patients (P < 0.001). Discussion It is anticipated that this study will raise nurses' awareness of dry mouth and encourage future studies on interventions to increase the salivary flow rate to prevent or treat dry mouth.

    Role of the Health System in Combating Covid-19: Cross-Section Analysis and Artificial Neural Network Simulation for 124 Country Cases

    Bayraktar, Yuksel; Özyilmaz, Ayfer; Toprak, Metin; Isik, Esme; Büyükakin, Figen; Olgun, Mehmet Firat

    In the fight against Covid-19, developed countries and developing countries diverge in success. This drew attention to the discussion of how different health systems and different levels of health spending are effective in combating Covid-19. In this study, the role of the health system in the fight against Covid-19 is discussed. In this context, the number of hospital beds, the number of doctors, life expectancy at 60, universal health service and the share of health expenditures in GDP were used as health indicators. In the study, firstly 2020 data was estimated by using the Artificial Neural Networks simulation method and this year was used in the analysis. The model, with the data of 124 countries, was estimated using the cross-sectional OLS regression method. The estimation results show that the number of hospital beds, number of doctors and life expectancy at the age of 60 have statistically significant and positive effects on the ratio of Covid-19 recovered/cases. Universal health service and share of health expenditures in GDP are not significant statistically on the cases and recovered. Hospital bed capacity is the most effective variable on the recovered/case ratio.

    Bayraktar, Bulent; Tekce, Emre; Kaya, Hacer; Gürbüz, Ahmet Burak; Dirican, Ebubekir; Korkmaz, Serol; Atalay, Banu; Ülker, Ufuk

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus reuteri E81 (LRE) probiotic supplementation on heat stress responses in chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar). The birds were divided into two groups, one of which was exposed to heat stress (HS). Within each group, four subgroups, each including 64 birds, were created for the three treatment doses (200, 400 or 600 mg/kg) of LRE and the control. The experiment was started with day-old birds, kept at a temperature of 25 degrees C or 37 degrees C. After a 7-day adjustment period, the LRE supplementation lasted for 35 days. The levels of different adipokines, including visfatin (VF), adiponectin (ADP), chemerin (CHEM), as well as the concentration of plasma citrulline (CIT) and the levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood were measured at 21 and 42 days of age. A significant correlation (P < 0.01) was found between LRE supplementation and the decrease in serum VF, ADP, CIT, T3 and T4 levels in partridges exposed to HS. On the other hand, no significant relationship was found between LRE supplementation and the serum CHEM and TSH levels (P > 0.05). We concluded that the addition of 600 mg/kg LRE is beneficial in preventing intestinal damage and inflammation provoked by HS.

    Awareness and Attitudes of Patients on Enlightened Consent

    Bostan, Sedat; Nenni Unal, Ferhan; Unal, Cihan; Metin, Fatma Elçin

    Enlightened consent is generally regarded as the process by which open information communication is available to a patient or an experimental individual to decide whether a particular treatment should be performed or to participate in a particular experiment. Informing the patient about the disease, the physician develops a sense of trust among the patient and increases the well-being of the patient. This is of moral importance in terms of showing that the patient's decision is respected and that the patient can make a decision freely. The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to investigate the awareness levels of patients about enlıghtened consent and how they define enlıghtened consent. For this purpose, 400 individuals living in Erzurum were surveyed. In the study, Enlightened Consent Attitude and Awareness Scale developed by Bostan was used. The quantitative data were analyzed by frequency and difference analysis. According to the findings of the research; A significant difference was found between the groups of gender variable, the number of hospital visits variable groups, and the profession variable groups. It was found that there was a significant difference between age variable groups, education level variable groups, income level variable groups in the answers given to the questions within the awareness factor. According to the results of the research; Although the awareness level of the participants is high, it can be said that they do not have enough opportunities to use these rights in hospitals and health institutions.

    Sağlık Çalışanlarının İletişim Becerileri ve Göçmenlerle Yaşadıkları İletişim Zorlukları

    Duran, Seçil; Albayrak, Sevil

    Amaç: Araştırma, sağlık çalışanlarının iletişim becerilerinin ve göçmen- lerle yaşadıkları iletişim zorluklarının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipte olan bu araştırma, Yozgat Şehir Hastanesi ve Yoz- gat il merkezindeki 8 aile sağlığı merkezindeki toplam 562 sağlık çalışanından, araştırma yapıldığı tarihlerde aktif çalışan ve gönüllü olan 450 sağlık çalışanı ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, 2018 yılında yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Veriler, 14 sorudan oluşan “Anket Formu” ve 45 sorudan oluşan “İletişim Bece- rileri Envanteri (İBE)” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde sayılar, yüz- delikler, ortalama ve standart sapmaların yanı sıra Kruskal-Wallis analizi ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmış, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunan çoklu gruplarda ileri analiz olarak Mann-Whitney U testi yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel an- lamlılık değeri p<0,05 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alı- nan sağlık çalışanlarının İBE puan ortalamaları 157,02±13,23’tür. Sağlık çalışanlarının 26-33 yaşında ve bekâr olanların İBE toplam puan ortalamalarının diğer gruplara göre yüksek çıktığı ve bu farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışma yılı ve cinsiyet ile İBE toplam ve alt boyutlarının puan ortalaması arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı çıkmasa da kadınlar ve 10 yıl ve daha altında çalışanlar lehine İBE toplam puan ortalamasının daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Sağlık çalışanlarının %68,9’u göçmenlere çevirmen olma- dan hizmet verdiğini belirtmiştir. Ancak çevirmenlerin sağlık bilgisi sorgulan- mamıştır. Sağlık çalışanlarının %53,6’sı göçmenlerin verilen hizmete karşı tutumlarının olumsuz olduğunu ve %46,0’ı bu durumun verilen hizmeti zorlaş- tırdığını belirtmiştir. Hizmet sunumunu etkilemediğini belirten sağlık çalışanla- rının hizmet sunumunu zorlaştırdığını ifade edenlere göre Zihinsel, Davranışsal İletişim Becerileri ve İBE toplam puan ortalamaları yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının iletişim becerileri puan ortalamaları orta düzeyde bulun- muştur. Sağlık çalışanlarının iletişim becerilerinin hizmet içi eğitimlerle gelişti- rilmesi ve en çok karşılaşılan göçmen grubu 18-59 yaş grubu olduğu için bu yaş gruplarında en çok görülen sağlık problemlerini bilmeleri ve bu sorunların bir- çoğunun sebebi çevirmen eksikliği olduğundan, hastaların şikâyetlerini anlayan ve durumu sağlık çalışanına iletebilen sağlık bilgisine sahip çevirmenlerin sayı- larının artırılması ve sağlık çalışanlarının hizmetlerine karşı göçmenlerin olum- suz tutumlarının değiştirilmesi için araştırmalar önerilebilir.

    Comparison of two plain radiographic and 3D-based measurement methods for posterior malleolar fragment size in trimalleol ankle fractures

    Altun, Güray; Çatal Reis, Hatice; Bayram, Bülent; Saka, Gursel

    Aim: The aim of this study is, to compare the posterior malleolar fragment (PMF) sizing between lateral ankleradiography measurement and computer assistted 3D modelling (CA3DM) methodsMethods: Fifty-one patients between january 2015 and november 2018 with posterior malleolar fractured wereincluded in this study. The rate of PMF to the articular surface at the distal end of the tibia was calculated by twodifferent imaging methods by two surgeons. According to posterior fragment size, patients were separated intotwo groups. Group 1 was consisted of posterior fragment size smaller than 15% and group 2 was bigger than15% due to CA3DM.Results: The interobserver correlation (IOC) between two observers and CA3DM was 44.3%. Also the IOCbetween first observer and CA3DM was 35.7% (p<0.05), second observer and CA3DM were 46.6% (p<0.01)and observers was 51.6% (p<0.01). For group 1, IOC between two observers and CA3DM was 41.2% (p<0.05),first observer and CA3DM was 30.6% (p>0.05), second observer and CA3DM was 51.6% (p<0.05) and twoobservers were 45.8% (p<0.05). For group 2, IOC between two observers and CA3DM was 27.9% (p>0.05),first and CA3DM was 18.6% (p>0.05), second observer and CA3DM was 7.1% (p>0.05) and two observers was49% (p<0.05).Conclusion: Our study shows that posterior malleolar fragment size measuring on plain radiography is not a safemethod for bigger fragments and CA3DM method may be a more reliable to assess correct fragment size andalso to analyze fracture morphology. But for fragments ≤15% CA3DM and plain radiographic measures are notstatistically different.

    A Limited Number of Studies Against Recommended Non-Pharmacological Methods for Pain Relief During Orogastric Tube Insertion: A Review of Literature

    Efe, Emine; Cırık, Vildan Apaydın

    Orogastric tube (OGT) feeding is a frequently used method to support the feeding of newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit. Studies and international guidelines indicate that OGT insertion causes acute pain in newborns. Non-pharmacological methods are recommended to reduce this pain caused by OGT insertion. These include; swaddling, oral sucrose and positioning. Although these non-pharmacological methods are reported to be effective, a limited number of studies have been found in the literature on non-pharmacological methods used to reduce pain caused by OGT insertion. In Turkey it did not reveal any studies on this subject. Additionally, as the responsibility of the OGT installation and replacement process belongs to the nurses, it is also important that nurses know and practice effective non-pharmacological methods. Considering these reasons; it is thought that this study will help to reveal the deficiency in the literature and provide a basic data to the studies. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the pain caused by OGT insertion procedure which is a painful procedure in preterms, to examine the recommended non-pharmacological methods used to reduce pain and to explain the duty/authority/responsibilities of newborn nurses in pain management.

    The Relationship Between Psychological Violence Against Women and Parental Attitudes: The Case of Gümüşhane Province

    Çakıcı, Ahmet Burhan; Büyükbodur, Ayşin Çetinkaya

    Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological violence against women and parental attitudes. Materials and Methods: The research is a cross-sectional study in relational screening model type among general screening models. The study group of the research consists of 159 women between the ages of 22-45 who are volunteers to participate in the study and living in the central district of Gümüşhane province with their spouse/partners and who have children between the ages of 2-6 years. The characteristics of the participants were determined by the Socio-demographic information form. Parental attitudes were measured with the Parental Attitude scale (PAS), the psychological violence perceived by their spouse/partners with the short form of psychological torment inventory (PMWI). SPSS 21.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between PAS and PMWI, and difference tests were used to determine whether the sub-dimensions of the scales differed according to socio-demographic characteristics. Results: PMWI sub-dimension, emotional verbal violence, and permissive attitude (r=-0.360 p<0.01), overprotective attitude (r=-0.467 p<0.01) and democratic attitude (r=-0.580 p<0.01) negative, moderate, authoritarian parent attitude (r=0.753 p<0.01) positive correlation was found. Of the PMWI sub-dimensions, responsibility had negatively moderate relationship with authoritative attitude (r=-0.527 p<0.01) and democratic attitude (r=-0.609 p<0.01), and a positive moderately significant relationship with authoritarian parental attitude (r=0.565 p<0.01) was detected. PMWI sub-dimension/blame threat had a moderate negative relationship with protective attitude (r=-0.594 p<0.01) and democratic attitude (r=-0.408 p<0.01), and a positive low level significant relationship with authoritarian parental attitude (r=0.294 p<0.01). Conclusion: A statistically significant relationship was found between psychological violence perceived by women and parental attitudes. PMWI and PAS subscales were found to differ significantly according to the level of education and number of children (p<0.05).

    Burnaz, Nesibe Arslan; Hendek, Muge

    Fonksiyonel gıdalar temel beslenmenin ötesinde insan sağlığı üzerinde potansiyel bir etkiye sahiptirler. Bununla birlikte hastalık riskini de azaltmaya yardımcı olurlar. Son yıllarda ekmeğin, zenginleştirilerek besin değerinin arttırılmasına yönelik çalışmalar önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, geleneksel ekmeğe, %2.5, 5, ve 10 olmak üzere farklı oranlarda süttozu eklenerek ekmekte kalite, antioksidan ve duyusal özellikleri açısından meydana gelen değişimlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ekmek makinası ile üretilen ekmek numunelerinde, TPC (toplam fenolik içerik), FRAP (demir (II) indirgeyici antioksidan güç), DPPH (2,2-difenil-1-pikrilhidrazil), ABTS (2,29-azinobis-(3-etilbenzotiyazolin-6-sülfonik asit) ve duyusal analizler yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, ekmek yapımında belli oranda süttozu katkısının duyusal özellikleri olumlu yönde etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Toplam fenolik içerik 4.86 µg GAE/100g’dan 35.48 µg/100g’a artarken; DPPH, FRAP and ABTS seviyeleri sırasıyla 35.42, 39.17, 10.48 µM TEAC’dan 97.92, 61.11, 21.70 µM TEAC düzeyine yükselmiştir

    Bu çalışmanın amacı, 83 klinik E.coli izolatında pap, hly, cnf, sfa, aer ve afa virulans genlerinin ve genişlemişspektrumlu beta laktamaz direnç genlerinin varlığını araştırmaktır. Antibiyotik duyarlılık testi için 17 farklı antibiyotikkullanılmıştır. 83 E. coli izolatında sfa, pap, hly, cnf, aer ve afa virülans genleri ve TEM, SHV, CTX-M1 ve CTX-M9genişlemiş spektrumlu beta laktamaz genleri polimer zincir reaksiyon (PZR) metodu ile araştırılmıştır. 83 izolatın,sefiksim, trimethoprim/sulfametaksazol, piperasilin/tazobaktam, amoksisilin/klavulanik asit, ampisilin, seftriakson,sefuroksim, sefuroksim aksetil, siprofloksasin, fosfomisin, gentamisin ve seftazidime karşı direnç oranları sırasıyla;%65, %54, %19, %38, %74, %75, %72, %75, %68, %2, %30, %49 olarak belirlenmiştir. CTX-M1, araştırılangenişlemiş spektrumlu beta-laktamaz (GSBL) genleri arasında 83 suşun 51’inde belirlenmesiyle en sık görülen GSBLolmuştur. TEM tipi beta laktamaz 33 suşta, CTX-M9 ve SHV 1 izolatta tespit edilmiştir. İzolatlarda en yaygın virülansgeni, 40 suşta tespit edilmesiyle aer geni, bunu izolatların 15’inde tespit edilen cnf geni takip etmiştir. Sfa, pap, afa vehly virulans genleri sırasıyla izolatların %15.6’sında, %15.6’sında, %9.6’sında ve %12.04’ünde görülmüştür. Ayrıca 83E.coli izolatında on farklı virulans faktör gen paterni tespit edilmiştir. Virulans gen kombinasyonları, 27 suşta aer, 6suşta cnf-sfa-pap, 1 suşta aer-pap, 2 suşta aer-afa, 6 suşta afa, 3 suşta sfa, 9 suşta aer-cnf-hly, 4 suşta sfa-pap, 1 suştahly-pap ve 1 suşta pap olarak gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, İYE ile ilişkili bakteriyel patojenitenin araştırılması dahaiyi bir tıbbi müdahaleye katkı sağlayacaktır.

    Yaşar, Mehmet; Yasar, Sekip Sadiye; Komut, Osman

    The forest industry is one of the sectors where occupational accidents are the most common. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the differences in opinions of personnel in enterprises, which fall into Turkish wood, wood products and mushroom production group, concerning occupational health and safety. Within this framework, a questionnaire application was conducted based on face to face meeting in a total of 68 enterprises in Erzincan province. In the questionnaire, the 5-point likert rating scale was used in determination of agreement level to scale items containing 9 different opinions concerning occupational health and safety issue underlying demographic characteristics of personnel and features of enterprises. As the result of the study, it was detected that machinery maintenance frequencies are too far, necessary personal protective equipment is not supplied in time and basic occupational health and safety principle implementation has deficiencies. Besides, statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were identified between opinions of employees in relation to variances as age, marital status, department worked, total time of employment in the enterprise, machinery maintenance frequency that is applied, workplace change intervals and exposure to occupational accidents.

    Psikiyatri Hemşireliği Dersi Alan Öğrencilerin ŞizofreniyeYönelik Tutumlarının Çizme-Yazma Tekniği ile İncelenmesi

    Uzun, Sevda; Kulakaç, Nurşen

    T Amaç: Sağlık çalışanlarının şizofreni hastalığına karşı damgalayıcı tutumları, hastaların yaşamlarını olumsuz etkileyebilir. Geleceğin sağlık profesyonelleri olan hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin şizofreni konusundaki tutumları oldukça önemlidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı psikiyatri hemşireliği dersi alan hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin şizofreniye yönelik tutumlarının (düşünce, duygu ve inançlarının) çizme-yazma tekniği ile belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada nitel araştırma modeli kapsamında durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya psikiyatri hemşireliği dersi alan 67 hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencisi katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında çizme-yazma tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma sonucunda öğrencilerin şizofreni kavramına ilişkin çizimlerinin analizinden 7 kategori, açıklamalarının analizinden 8 kategoride bilişsel ifade (tanımlama, anlama, yorumlama) belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların şizofreniye yönelik tutumlarının yoğunlaştığı kategorilerin şizofreninin özellikleri, şizofrenili hastanın algıları, şizofrenili hastaya bakış açısı kategorileri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin şizofreninin özelliklerine yönelik düşünceleri kategorisinin, daha çok halüsinasyon, sanrı ve saldırganlık, şizofrenili hastanın algıları kategorisinin yalnızlık, mutsuzluk ve şizofreniye bakış açısıkategorisinin stigma ve toplumdan soyutlama (şizofreni hastasının kendisini) alt kategorilerinde yoğunlaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucuna göre, tüm kategorilerde katılımcıların şizofreni kavramıyla ilgili farklı tutumlara (duygu, düşünce ve inanç) sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin şizofreni hastalığını tanıdıkları ancak özellik ve tedavisine ilişkin yanlış bilgilere sahip oldukları belirlendi. Öğrencilerin büyük bir kısmının şizofreni hastalarına ilişkin damgalayıcı tutum sergiledikleri, şizofreni hastalarını saldırgan buldukları ve şizofreni tanılı bireylerin topluma kazandırılması konusunda önemli oranda olumsuz düşünce, inanç ve duyguya sahip oldukları sonucuna varıldı.
