Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Toileting Behaviors in Turkish Adult Women(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Celenay, Seyda Toprak; Dusgun, Elif Sena; Karaaslan, Yasemin; Urus, Gulcin; Karadag, Mehmet; Ozdemir, Enver; Toprak Celenay, SeydaThis study aimed to investigate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Turkish adult women and to compare toileting behaviors in women with and without LUTS. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 815 women. The International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Female LUTS and a toileting behaviors form, created by the authors, were used in evaluations. Nearly 50 % of the women had at least one LUTS, 45.8 % had storage symptoms, 7.4 % had voiding symptoms, and 20.2 % had incontinence symptoms. The rates of premature urination, straining during urination, delayed urination, and sitting on the toilet while urinating were higher in women with LUTS than in women without LUTS (p < .05). The rate of squatting on the toilet while urinating was lower in women with LUTS than those without LUTS (p < .05). Various LUTS were common in adult women. Some toileting behaviors such as premature urination, straining during urination, delayed urination, and sitting on the toilet while urinating were higher in women with LUTS compared to women without LUTS. Since the rate of unhealthy toilet behaviors is higher in women with LUTS, it is important to know unhealthy toilet behaviors in the management of LUTS and to organize training programs to prevent these behaviors and LUTS.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Relationship Between Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Levels and Pseudobulbar Affect in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Ozer, Duygu; Ata, Elvan Emine; Dikec, Gul; Demir, SerkanBackground Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) has recently been added to the list of mental disorders commonly observed in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The emotional changes experienced by MS patients may be associated with other mental problems and adversely affect disease prognosis. However, there are limited studies in the international and national literature on this subject. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PBA and stress, anxiety, and depression levels in patients with MS. Design This is a descriptive, relational, and cross-sectional study. Methods A total of 442 MS patients followed in the neurology outpatient clinic of a hospital and registered with the MS Society in Turkey participated in this study. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Turkish version of the Center for Neurologic Study-Lability Scale (CNS-LS), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). Results In this study, 63.3% of the patients had PBA, 21% had extremely severe depression, 41.6% had extremely severe anxiety, and 24.9% had severe stress. Correlation analysis revealed weak positive correlations between CNS-LS total score and DASS subscale and total scores. Depression, anxiety, and stress levels accounted for 22.5% of the variation in CNS-LS total score. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that a majority of MS patients in Turkey experience PBA, depression, anxiety, and stress, and that PBA is positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Impact statement This study, indicates that should be increased consultation-liaison psychiatry services in Turkey, and MS patients should benefit from comprehensive psychiatric services.
