Conference Object Safe Drug Administration in Pediatric Nursing Education: A Quasi- Experimental Design Study(Atatürk Univ, 2023) Kan Onturk, Zehra; Sanci, Yagmur; Öntürk, Zehra KanObjective: This study was carried out to determine the correlation between the performance of students who received simulation-based pediatric nursing education and their self-confidence regarding safe drug administrations during simulation. Methods: The study was conducted in pretest and posttest quasi-experimental design and carried out on a sample group (n = 39) based on criteria established at the Nursing Department of a foundation university. Students were subjected to a simulation of "Drug Management in Children" within the scope of the pediatric nursing course. The researchers collected data through a checklist, a self-confidence scale, and tests (pretest and posttest) used in the simulation application on "Drug Management in Children." Results: The students obtained a mean score of 129.00 +/- 14.36 on the self-confidence scale. The posttest scores of the students were statistically significantly higher than the pretest scores (P = .011). The performance mean score of the students from the simulation checklist for safe drug administrations was 36.28 +/- 6.65. There was no statistically significant correlation between the scores from the self-confidence scale, the pretest, the posttest, and the checklist scores (P > .05). Conclusion: This study underlines the importance of having a suitable level of self-confidence for students' educational gains and also indicated that there was no correlation between self-confidence and performance.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Radioprotective Effect of Resveratrol for Early and Late Ionizing Radiation-Induced Damages on Colon and Rectum in Rats(Marmara Univ, 2023) Beceren, Ayfer; Aydemir, Sezgin; Atasoy, Beste Melek; Esin, A. K.; Ercan, Feriha; Sener, T. Emre; Sener, Goksel; Ak, Esin; Emre Şener, T.Radiotherapy, which is routinely used to treat a wide range of oncological disorders, primarily affects the malignant tissue in the targeted area, but also have negative effects in the surrounding tissues. Pelvic radiotherapy causes early and late effects on the colon and rectum. Resveratrol (RVT) has been revealed to have a number of pharmacological effects in a variety of experimental models and clinical circumstances, therefore it has piqued the interest of scientists in recent years. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential protective effects of resveratrol (RVT), a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic agent, against toxicity of colonic and rectal tissues seen in the early and late stages after pelvic radiation. The treatment durations of the current study were designed as one week and ten weeks interval by following radiation exposure. Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups (8 animals/group) as the control, radiation-early effects (Rd-E), radiation-late effects (Rd-L), and RVT-treated Rd-E (Rd-E+RVT) and RVT-treated Rd-L (Rd-L+RVT) groups. Ionizing radiation was performed to the pelvic area that covers colon and rectum in single fraction of 20 Gy in a linear accelerator using with 6 MV photon energy. RVT was orally administered (10 mg/kg/day) immediately following the radiation exposure and continued daily for 1 and 10 weeks for early and late groups, respectively. Pelvic radiation caused a significant decrease in glutathione level, while malondialdehyde levels, myeloperoxidase activity and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were increased in both Rd-E and Rd -L groups in the colon and rectum tissues. Additionally, light microscopic evaluations (H & E staining) revealed degeneration of epithelium and inflammatory cell infiltration in the colonic and rectal tissues in radiation groups. RVT treatment reversed all conducted biochemical parameters and ameliorated histomorphological changes following early and late effects of pelvic radiation in tissues. In conclusion, resveratrol may be a candidate as a radioprotector for normal tissues during and after radiotherapy.Article Opinions of Students in the Field of Health on Distance Education During the Covid-19 Pandemic: a Cross-Sectional Study(Galenos Publ House, 2024) Kaya, Gizem; Karaca, Anita; Beji, Nezihe KizilkayaObjective: It is important to determine the opinions and preferences of students about distance education as its use is becoming more and more prevalent because of the Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. It was aimed to determine the opinions of students in the field of health about distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study which was conducted at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a foundation university in stanbul. The data were obtained from 476 students who were studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university between June and July 2021, using a Student Information Form and Student Opinions on Distance Education Survey. Results: When asked their opinions on distance education, most described that face-to-face education was more useful than distance education (65.1%) and that having practical lessons with distance education negatively affected their learning (61.1%). Conversely, most of the students expressed that they could listen to the parts of the lessons they did not understand again (93.1%), could listen to the lessons they missed (90.3%), and that distance education provided them with the convenience of taking lessons wherever internet access was available (76.7%). Conclusion: The results indicated that students did not have considerable problems during distance education, they benefited from the advantages of distance education and were generally satisfied with it. In relation to the problems experienced during the pandemic, we recommend to take measures especially for applied lessons, to continue to benefit from the advantages of distance education by combining it with formal education in appropriate lessons, and to make necessary improvements by evaluating the opinions of students on a departmental basis.Article The Effect of 3d Modeling on Family Quality of Life, Surgical Success, and Patient Outcomes in Congenital Heart Diseases: Objectives and Design of a Randomized Controlled Trial(Turkish J Pediatrics, 2024) Sumengen, Aylin Akca; Ismailoglu, Abdul Veli; Ismailoglu, Pelin; Gumus, Terman; Celiker, Alpay; Namlisesli, Deniz; Cakir, Gokce Naz; Subaşi, Damla ÖzçevikBackground. Understanding the severity of the disease from the parents' perspective can lead to better patient outcomes, improving both the child's health -related quality of life and the family's quality of life. The implementation of 3 -dimensional (3D) modeling technology in care is critical from a translational science perspective. Aim. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of 3D modeling on family quality of life, surgical success, and patient outcomes in congenital heart diseases. Additionally, we aim to identify challenges and potential solutions related to this innovative technology. Methods. The study is a two -group pretest -posttest randomized controlled trial protocol. The sample size is 15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. The experimental group's heart models will be made from their own computed tomography (CT) images and printed using a 3D printer. The experimental group will receive surgical simulation and preoperative parent education with their 3D heart model. The control group will receive the same parent education using the standard anatomical model. Both groups will complete the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Surgical Simulation Evaluation Form - Part I -II, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Family Impacts Module. The primary outcome of the research is the average PedsQL Family Impacts Module score. Secondary outcome measurement includes surgical success and patient outcomes. Separate analyses will be conducted for each outcome and compared between the intervention and control groups. Conclusions. Anomalies that can be clearly understood by parents according to the actual size and dimensions of the child's heart will affect the preoperative preparation of the surgical procedure and the recovery rate in the postoperative period.Article Adaptation of Caregivers' Task Scale for Multiple Sclerosis To Turkish Society: Validity and Reliability Study(Dokuz Eylul Univ inst Health Sciences, 2022) Eroglu, Nermin; Tosun, Anil TekeogluObjectives: This study was planned and carried out methodologically to adapt the Caregiving Tasks in Multiple Sclerosis Scale (CTiMSS) to Turkish society. Methods: A methodological research. The study was conducted with caregivers of individuals with multiple sclerosis who presented to the neurology clinic of a university hospital between June 2019 and September 2020. The validity and reliability study of the Caregiving Tasks in Multiple Sclerosis Scale (CTiMSS) was performed with a total of 142 individuals, which is more than 5 times the number of items on the scale (24 items). Results: The validity of the CTiMSS was evaluated with language validity, construct validity (CFA), and content validity. The reliability coefficient of the internal consistency analysis (Cronbach's Alpha) was found to be extremely high (0.97). Item-total correlation of the scale was examined, and accordingly, no items were removed from the scale. The scale was administered to 30 patients at a two-week interval to analyze test-retest reliability and time-dependent invariance. Conclusion: The CTiMSS, which was adapted to Turkish society to evaluate the tasks of individuals providing care for individuals with multiple sclerosis, is a valid and reliable tool. We recommend that it should be administered to different groups and cultures to increase its evidence value. CTiMSS is an appropriate measurement tool to determine the duties of caregivers of individuals with multiple sclerosis.Article Citation - WoS: 1The Effect of Training on Stress and Coping With Stress in Patients Receiving Infertility Treatment(Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2020) Eroglu, Nermin; Temiz, GamzePurpose: This study was planned and applied semi-experimentally to examine the effect of education given to patients receiving infertility treatment on stress and coping with stress. Materials and Methods: The study is semi-experimental. It was held between May 2017 and January 2018 with individuals who applied to a foundation hospital in Istanbul province for IVF treatment. The sample was made up of 40 infertile individuals. The data were collected by the researcher through face-to-face interview method. Training was given after pretesting. Post-test was performed one month after the training. Results: The pre-education stress scale of middle school graduates of infertile women was higher, this difference disappeared after education, and there was a statistically significant difference between the infertility stress and coping scale subscale mean scores. As the use of active ignoring, active struggling and passive ignoring coping methods of women, the use of the methods of coping with the infertility subscale scores increased, the infertility stress subscale scores increased.. Conclusion: In this study, the relationship between infertility and stress research was investigated and it was concluded that the treatment process and results are an important source of stress in patients. According to the results obtained, it is recommended to determine the stress level and methods of coping with stress, and provide training and counseling on patients who apply to the hospital for infertility treatment.Article The Relation of The Duration of Work in Dentists With Postural Problems, Range of Motion and Pain(Bezmialem Vakif Univ, 2020) Tekin, Demet; Koksal, MesutObjective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between cervical and lumbar range of motions, pain and postural problems with the time spent in the occupation in dentists. Methods: A total of 56 dentists (27 males, 29 females), participated in this research as a volunteer (age=29.55 +/- 9.5 years). Firstly, the participants were divided into 3 groups according to the working years in their life and the time spent at unit during the day; they were also divided into 2 groups according to the intermittent or uninterrupted working conditions during the day. Cervical and lumbar joint range of motions were measured to determine limitations. The McGill pain scale survey was used to evaluate the pain. Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests with a posthoc Bonferroni test were used for all statistical analyses. Results: It was seen that the cervical and lumbar joint range of motions decreased, and the postural deformities in the spine and knee were observed and the level of pain increased significantly in comparatively to the excess of the time spent in the profession. However, in the analysis according to the time spent at the unit during the day, only the decrease in the range of motion of the regions was determined with the increase of the time spent at the unit during the day. Conclusion: With the increase in the working years in the dentists, it was revealed that the limitation of the range of motion increased and posture disorders and pain were formed. It is thought that all these problems will be caused by working in non-ergonomic environments for a long time. In this respect, it is important to include experts in the field of physiotherapy in the courses given under the name of preventive medicine. As a result, it can be said that the health problems encountered with the increase in time spent in the profession have increased.Article Citation - WoS: 1Time Difference Between Onsets of Lateral and Medial Hamstring Muscles During Gait in Patients With Patellofemoral Pain: a Preliminary Study(Marmara Univ, inst Health Sciences, 2022) Coskunsu, Dilber Karagozoglu; Can, Filiz; Kuchimovs, Shavkat; Akalan, Nazif Ekin; Kilicoglu, I. Onder; Ozturk, Necla; Kuchimov, Shavkat; Kılıçoğlu, Önder İsmetObjective: Early activation of lateral hamstrings (LH) relative to medial hamstrings (MH) has been thought to be the cause of abnormal knee abduction and external rotation of the tibia, which affects the orientation of patellar tendon and increases lateral patellofemoral compression. Therefore, early activation of LH relative to MH is considered to have a role in the patellofemoral pain (PFP). The aim of this study was to investigate the time difference between MH and LH onsets in patients with PFP during gait. Methods: Thirteen patients with bilateral PFP (mean age 28.73 +/- 7.44 years) and 13 asymptomatic subjects (mean age 30.47 +/- 6.22 years) were recruited in the study. Gait analysis was performed using the ELITE system (BTS, Milano-Italy) with video cameras (TVC, BTS, Milano-Italy). Participants were requested to walk at a self-selected speed on a force platform, and EMG data were recorded from MH and LH muscles for 10 initial contacts by using TELEEMG (BTS, Milano-Italy). Time difference between the onsets of the MH and LH was calculated for each initial contact by using moving averaging method, then their mean was obtained for each participant. Results: The time difference between onsets of MH and LH was - 26.9 +/- 22.2 ms for PFP subjects and - 11.2 +/- 14.2 ms for control subjects, and LH mainly became activated earlier compared to MH in most of the subjects in both groups. There was a statistically significant difference between the time differences of the groups (p=0.041). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that LH displayed an earlier activation in subjects with PFP compared to control subjects during gait.
