  Yiğitbaş, Çağla; Elkoca, Ayşe; Özcan, Handan

  The aim of the study was to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on posttraumatic growth and to identify the influential factors. Quantitative method was used. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Permissions were obtained before the research. The sample size was calculated with the formula t2xs2/d2. After the calculation, 106 people who consented to participate in the study were reached. Data were collected by convenience sampling method. The mean age of the participants was 31.61 ± 11.05 years. 58.5% of the participants were female and 44.3% were married. The rate of those who said they had a high income was 9.4%. More than half of the participants stated that they experienced anxiety due to the pandemic, and more than half stated that they had this disease at home. Those who reported that they were not currently working, those who thought that their mental health was affected, and those who reported experiencing anxiety due to the pandemic had higher scores on the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Posttraumatic growth and its sub-dimensions were found to make a difference in terms of some sociodemographic characteristics. Repeating this research in different cultural societies will be decisive and clarifying in terms of results.

  Ozcan, Handan; Elkoca, Ayse; Yigitbas, Cagla; Kartal, Yasemin Aydin

  Background: This study intends to address the COVID-19 pandemic process with specific regard to pregnant women, aiming to determine their state-trait anxiety levels. Subjects and methods: The study has a quantitative design. Ethical permissions were obtained, data were collected digitally, and power analysis was performed for sample size. The sample size was calculated as 656 pregnant women. In the collection of the data, the Personal Information Form, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used. Results: In our study, the majority of pregnant women (86.3%) were concerned about the pandemic process, with more than half thinking that their pregnancy (62.9%) and delivery processes would be affected (66.2%). In the meantime, 60.2% of the pregnant women postponed their health checks and they indicated being most concerned about their babies (57.1%). In 51.2% of the pregnant women, the state anxiety levels were low, and 89.8% of the trait anxiety levels were moderate. Conclusions: In crisis periods like the pandemic, pregnant women are among the priority groups. Screening, prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of affective disorders in the prenatal period are important for maternal and fetal health.

  Ozcan, Handan; Yigitbas, Cagla; Karaca, Mucahit Talha

  Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the contraception choices of men, aged between 18-60 and living in the center of a province in the Gumushane. Methods: The study is of a descriptive type. As a data collection form, an Individual Information Form consisting of a total of 32 questions was used. This form questions the demographic-physical-biological-social-health histories of the participants and their knowledge, attitudes, behaviors about contraception methods. Averages were given together with standard deviations. Results: 20.8 % of the participants are aged between 26-33. It was seen that 25.3% of the participants had knowledge about contraception methods and 64.7% did not use any methods. When the variables of the age and the marital status are approached in terms of having sufficient knowledge about contraception and still using contraception methods, there is a statistical significance between the variable of 'is the use of contraception methods harmful to health?' with the status of still using contraception methods. A statistical significance is also found between the variable of being sexually active with the status of having sufficient knowledge about contraception and still using contraception methods (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, It has been determined that men who had sufficient information about contraceptions had higher age and higher education levels, were sexually active and married. It has been seen that the age, the marital status, the perception of contraception as harmful to health, the status of being sexually active did not affect receiving any training about contraception.

  Nonmedical Methods to Relieve Low Back Pain Caused by Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Descriptive Study in Northeastern Turkey

  Cilingir, Dilek; Hintistan, Sevilay; Yigitbas, Cagla; Nural, Nesrin

  Low back pain due to the effects of lumbar disc herniation is a common complaint of patients who often subsequently seek help from medical professionals. It is also a significant health problem which is quite difficult to treat. This descriptive study was conducted to determine nonmedical methods used by patients with lumbar disc herniation to relieve low back pain; the patients' intensity of low back pain when they were admitted to the hospital was also explored. Ninety-two patients with lumbar disc herniation participated in this study, which was carried out at a university hospital in northeastern Turkey. Data were collected using a patient information form and the visual analog scale (VAS). When the patients were admitted to hospital, their mean VAS score was 6.56 ± 2.45. The study results showed that as a first choice nearly all of the patients (94.6%) with lumbar disc herniation preferred consulting with their physicians before to obtain relief for low back pain. However, in addition to seeing their physician, more than one-half of these patients (57.6%) also used nonmedical methods. The primary nonmedical methods were hot/cold compresses, wrapping various substances on the back, and herbal preparations. An increase in pain was noted by 17.0% of patients after using nonmedical methods. Findings indicated that more than two-thirds of patients experienced either no change or an increase in pain after using nonmedical methods to find relief.

  Deveci, Süleyman Erhan; Yiğitbaş, Çağla; Ozan, A. Tevfik; Oğuzöncül, Ferdane; Açık, Yasemin

  Amaç: Çalışma, ön lisans ve lisans düzeyinde sağlık eğitimi alan bir grup öğrencinin empatik eğilim ve becerilerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Materyal-Metot: Kesitsel nitelikte olan çalışmanın evrenini 2010-2011 öğretim yılında Gümüşhane Üniversitesinin sağlık eğitimi verilen bölümlerinde okuyan öğrenciler (288 kişi) oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş olup evrenin tamamı araştırma kapsamına dahil edilmiştir. Ulaşılan öğrenci sayısı 231'dir (cevaplılık oranı: % 80,2). Veriler, öğrencilerin sosyodemografik özellikleriyle ilgili soru formu ve 1988'de Dökmen tarafından geliştirilen, geçerliği ve güvenirliği aynı kişi tarafından test edilen Empatik Eğilim Ölçeği (EEÖ) ve Empatik Beceri Ölçeği (EBÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20,07±2,05 olup, EEÖ puan ortalaması 66,07±9,50, EBÖ puan ortalaması ise 124,10±16,58 olarak saptanmıştır. Kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre EEÖ ve EBÖ puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu (p<0.05), yine 1-3 kardeşe sahip olan öğrencilerin 4 ve üzeri kardeşe sahip olanlara göre EEÖ ortalamalarının daha fazla olduğu örülmüştür (p<0.05). Diğer tanımlayıcı özellikler ile ölçeklerin puan ortalamaları arasında önemli fark olmadığı görülmüştür. EEÖ ile EBÖ puanları arasında ilişki bulunmamıştır. Tartışma: Sağlık eğitimi alan öğrencilerin empatik eğilim ve becerilerinin orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu düzeyin yükseltilmesine yönelik eğitimsel ve sosyal çalışmaların faydalı olacağı düşünülmüştür.
