It was observed when the diabetes risk status was examined for all participants that they are in the low risk group due to a FINDRISK total score of <7. Conclusion: The study results emphasize the importance of determining the risk for university students to be diabetic in the next decade, putting forth the individuals with high risk and moving onto the next stage for diagnosis.

METHOD: This is a methodological study. The study sample included the nurses working at the medical and surgical clinics of two public hospitals in 2017 in Istanbul. A total of 290 nurses participated in the study. Language, content, construct validities, total item correlation analysis, Kaiser Meyer Olkin, Bartlett tests, confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis (EFA), stability, and Cronbach's alpha reliability analyses were tested. RESULTS: The content validity index of the scale was.92. Two items that have correlation values below.40 were removed from the Turkish form. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was.762. The structure of the four-item and single-factor Turkish form was confirmed. CONCLUSION: Stanford Presenteeism Scale-Short Form is a valid and reliable tool for the nurses in Turkey. It is recommended to be used among nurses in different studies. Hospital and nursing care service managers should deal with "presenteeism," since it is becoming a critical health human resource workforce issue. Health care managers may use this tool to evaluate the presenteeism level of their employees.Article Citation - WoS: 3Obesity Risk Factors in Turkish Preschool Children: a Cross-Sectional Study(Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2022) Ozkaya, Sebnem Ozgen; Ozkaya, Volkan; Garipagaoglu, MuazzezPurpose: The present study aims to identify the potential risk factors - pre and post-pregnancy, children's, parental, and environmental factors - concerning obesity in Turkish preschool children.Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 538 children aged 3-5 and their mothers in 25 private and public kindergartens using a face-to-face survey. Demographic, anthropometric, nutrition, sleep, and physical activity information during pregnancy, infancy, and preschool periods were evaluated. Two-day food records and anthropometric measurements of the children were collected.Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children was found to be 27.0%. Among the 28 potential risk factors examined, pre-pregnancy obesity (odds ratios (OR):1.108, confidence interval (CI): 1.042-1.179), post-pregnancy obesity (OR:4.350, CI: 2.053-9.217), caffeine intake >200 mg/day during pregnancy (OR:1.588, CI:1.031-2.446), father with obesity (OR: 1.089, CI: 1.027-1.155), enrolling a private rather than a public kindergarten (OR: 2.093, CI:1.298-3.376), fast eating (OR:3.355, CI: 1.175-9.583 min), short lunch duration (OR:0.966, CI:0.934-0.998), daily sleep of <10 hours (OR:2.522, 1.439-4.421), and finally screen time of >2 hours/day (OR:1.560, CI:1.012-2.405) were found to be significantly correlated with obesity in preschool children.Conclusion: Parental obesity, caffeine intake during pregnancy, eating speed, daily sleep, and screen time were determined as obesity risk factors in Turkish preschool children. Identifying maternal and child risk factors in early childhood, regulating lifestyle and obesogenic environment can be protective against obesity.Article Evaluating the Styles of Coping With Stress of Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis During the Covid - 19 Pandemic(Marmara Univ, inst Health Sciences, 2022) Eroglu, Nermin; Tosun, AnilObjective: Multiple sclerosis (MS)is among the most influential environmental factors.
