    The Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Applied Via Telerehabilitation During the Postpartum Period: a Randomized Controlled Study
    (Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2025) Razak Ozdincler, Arzu; Korkmaz Dayican, Damla; Ozyurek, Burcin
    Purpose: To examine the short- and medium-term effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) applied via telerehabilitation (TR) on pelvic floor muscle function, pelvic floor symptoms, and quality of life. Methods: Fifty-eight women between the ages of 18 and 35 who were between 6 and 8 weeks postpartum were included. The participants were randomized into the PFMT applied via TR (TR-PFMT) group or the supervised PFMT (S-PFMT) group. The PFMT was performed for 8 weeks, 2 days a week, and 45-50 min a day. The participants' pelvic floor muscle function, pelvic floor symptoms, and quality of life were evaluated with the superficial electromyography, the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7, respectively. Results: Phasic, tonic, and endurance activities of the pelvic floor muscles were significantly higher in both groups immediately after and 8 weeks after the exercise program (all p < 0.05). In addition, total PFDI-20 and all subscales' scores decreased significantly in the TR-PFMT group (all p < 0.05). In the S-PFMT group, total PFDI-20 (p = 0.012) and Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (p = 0.012) scores improved significantly. A significant difference was found between the groups in favor of the TR-PFMT group in terms of total PFDI-20 (p = 0.024; p = 0.024) and Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (p = 0.033; p = 0.040) scores immediately after and 8 weeks after the exercise program. Conclusions: TR-PFMT and S-PFMT improved women's pelvic floor muscle function, pelvic floor symptoms, and quality of life in the short and medium term. Improvement in urinary symptoms was greater after TR-PFMT. TR-PFMT should be considered for postpartum women.

    E-Health Literacy Status of Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis in Turkey
    (Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2024) Tosun, Anil Tekeoglu; Isiklar, Cagdas; Yildirim, Merve; Coskunsu, Dilber Karagozoglu
    Background: This research aims to compare e-health literacy of technology users and nonusers in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to investigate whether there are correlations between age, duration of MS, gender, marital status, and e-health total scores.Methods: This descriptive study was carried out with a web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to 300 patients with MS who were registered at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Neurology Department.Results: A total of 156 people (mean age: 35.33 +/- 10.47 years) participated in the survey. Smartphone 98.1% (n = 153) was the mostly used device. Rate of using Google and recommended websites about MS was 94.25% (n = 145) and 73.9% (n = 113), respectively. e-Health literacy of both the tablet and recommended websites users significantly differed from that of nonusers (p = 0.007 for both). Participants' e-health literacy total score was found to weakly, but significantly, correlate with their age, marital status, and education level (rho: -0.161, p = 0.044; rho: 0.172, p = 0.032; rho: -0.192, p = 0.016, respectively).Conclusions: With developments in digital technologies, it is important to identify the access status of people with MS to improve daily clinical management and implement further motor and cognitive rehabilitation. Therefore, determining the health literacy of individuals with MS and providing education on this subject will reduce the information pollution.

    Comparison of the Effect of Maternal Breast Milk Odor, Facilitated Tucking, and Nonnutritive Sucking Applied To Preterm Neonates During Heel Stick on Pain and Physiological Parameters: a Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2024) Akbari, Negarin; Mutlu, Birsen; Khoddam, Homeira
    Background: Preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) frequently undergo painful procedures, which can lead to both short-term and long-term complications, including potential mortality. Effective pain management is crucial in this context. Although numerous studies have explored non-pharmacological pain relief methods for preterm infants, no research has simultaneously compared the effects of maternal breast milk odor, facilitated tucking, and nonnutritive sucking. Aim: This study aims to comparatively investigate the efficacy of nonnutritive sucking, facilitated tucking, and maternal breast milk odor in reducing pain in preterm neonates during heel sticks. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary-level NICU with 144 preterm neonates (gestational age 31-36 weeks) requiring heel sticks. The infants were randomly assigned to four groups: control, nonnutritive sucking, facilitated tucking, and maternal breast milk odor. Pain and physiological parameters were assessed through video recordings of the procedures and scored at 1-minute intervals using the Premature Infant Pain Profile and Data Evaluation Form. Data were collected at baseline and at 1, 2, and 3 minutes before, during, and after the heel stick. Results: The study found significant effects of the interventions on physiological parameters and pain (heart rate: F = 7.5, p < 0.001; oxygen saturation: F = 16.39, p < 0.001; respiratory rate: F = 6.56, p < 0.001; pain: F = 61.45, p < 0.001). Facilitated tucking resulted in significantly lower pain scores (6.61 +/- 1.44) compared with the control group (14.22 +/- 3.61), maternal breast milk odor (12.22 +/- 3.08), and nonnutritive sucking (10.41 +/- 1.71) (p < 0.001). Conclusions: All interventions demonstrated effectiveness in maintaining physiological stability and alleviating pain. Nevertheless, the intervention identified as most effective in reducing pain was facilitated tucking group.

    Relationship Between Weight Loss and Dietary Inflammatory Index and Serum C-Reactive Protein Level Before and After Bariatric Surgery
    (Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2023) Batar, Nazli; Ozturk, Elif Sila; Sevdin, Sezen; Yildiz, Nida; Yıldız, Nida
    Background: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between weight loss, dietary inflammatory index (DII), and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG).Materials and Methods: This research is a retrospective cross-sectional study. We enrolled patients who had obesity surgery in a private clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, between February 1, 2014, and February 1, 2018. Pre-operative (pre-op) and 12th, 18th, and 24th month post-operative (post-op) weight, nutritional consumption, and CRP levels of the participants were evaluated. The DII scores of the individuals were calculated from the obtained dietary data.Results: In this study, a total of 140 SG patients, 100 women and 40 men, were evaluated. It was found that there was a positive and significant correlation between the decreasing body mass index (BMI) value and CRP value of the individuals. It was concluded that for all measurements of BMI, excessive weight loss, DII, and CRP, at least one measurement significantly differentiated from the other measurements. Post-op 18th month DII was significantly higher than the post-op 24th month DII value.Conclusions: Long-term follow-up of patients by a multidisciplinary team in the pre-op and post-op periods is required to ensure success in bariatric surgery results. Dieticians play an important role in changing and sustaining eating habits.
