Article Perceived Stress and Performance of Daily Activities Among Emergency Healthcare Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025) Yücel, Hülya; Bektas, Selen AydonerBackground: During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers were exposed to intense stress in the emergency departments and sudden changes in their daily lives. Objective: The study aimed to investigate the impact of the pandemic on performance and participation in the activities of daily living, personal lives, and overall well-being of the healthcare workers in an emergency department. Methods: Seventy-eight people working in an emergency department of a university hospital (100% of those eligible) participated in the study during June-July 2022. A self-report survey, cross-sectional design was used to collect data. Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS) and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Independent sample t-tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results: There was a significant negative correlation between PSS and COPM Performance (r = −0.524) as well as between PSS and COPM Satisfaction (r = −0.508), indicating that higher levels of stress were associated with lower performance and satisfaction. In addition, work-related factors, including working experience, daily working hours, and time available for rest at work, were significantly associated with PSS, COPM Performance, and Satisfaction (p < 0.05). The strongest multivariate associations (p = 0.001) were found between lacking time to rest at work and PSS (direct) and COPM Performance and Satisfaction (inverse). Conclusion: The stress experienced by emergency healthcare workers during COVID-19 negatively impacted their performance, daily activities, personal lives, and well-being. A potential implication is that policy-makers addressing work-related factors and implementing regulations could improve the well-being of these workers in their professional practices. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Vegetable and Fruit Consumption and Its Relationship With Body Mass Index in Adults: a Cross-Sectional and Seasonal Research From Turkiye(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Hizli-Guldemir, Hilal; Saleki, Neda; Sezer, Fatma Elif; Yoldas-Ilktac, Havvanur; Akman, Cansu; Ersoy, Gulgun; Garipagaoglu, MuazzezThis study examines the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and the BMI in Turkiye. In this cross-sectional study, which 6332 adults were included, fruit and vegetable consumption, and preferences were collected. The quantities of vegetables and fruits were classified based on the WHO and the national recommendations. Of the adults (33.39 +/- 12.59 years), 52.9% of men and 39.7% of women had an above-normal BMI. Based on WHO recommendations, overweight and obese people consumed less vegetables and fruits compared to their counterparts (ORs for women, overweight: 1.2, obese: 1.3; ORs for men, overweight: 1.3, obese: 1.5; 95% CI). The regression analysis revealed that the quantities of vegetable and fruit intake were higher in young individuals, men, and married people. Although the majority consume more than 400 g/day of vegetables and fruits, the intake is inadequate in people with obesity.
