Article Positioning School Readiness as Ecological Fit: The School Readiness Ecological Approach (SERA) for Occupational Therapy and Education(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Aydoner Bektas, SelenTraditional perspectives on school readiness have emphasized child-level competencies such as cognitive, language, and behavioral skills. While important, the narrow focus overlooks the ecological systems - families, teachers, and communities - that shape children's adaptation to school. The participation-oriented perspective of occupational therapy has also been largely absent from the discourse. The School Readiness Ecological Approach (SERA) reframes school readiness as a matter of ecological fit rather than merely a set of children's skills. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and the Person - Environment - Occupation model, SERA conceptualizes readiness as the outcome of dynamic exchanges between children, families, educators, schools, and policy environments. SERA addresses key gaps by: (1) shifting focus from isolated child attributes to participation in real-life contexts; (2) integrating occupational therapy's holistic perspective into readiness; and (3) providing a multi-level framework to guide research, practice, and policy. SERA emphasizes four domains - child, family, educational environment, and community - as interconnected contributors to school readiness trajectories. As a conceptual bridge across education, health, and social systems, SERA will broaden theoretical scope, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and promote inclusive, and sustainable strategies. Reconceptualizing school readiness as ecological fit will help move beyond deficit-based views and support more equitable and effective school transitions.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Role of Sensory Processing Patterns on Mental Health in Healthy Adults(Sage Publications Inc., 2025) Ercan Dogu, Selma; Aydoner Bektas, SelenIntroduction: There are individual differences in processing sensory information. Growing evidence indicates that differences in sensory processing may contribute to a greater risk of developing mental ill-health issues. This study aimed to explore the relationship between sensory processing patterns and depression, anxiety, and stress in healthy adults. Method: This cross-sectional study included 341 healthy adults, aged between 18 and 60. Participants completed a sociodemographic form, the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21. Results: Sensory sensitivity, low registration, and sensory avoidance had positive moderate correlations with depression, anxiety, and stress (p < 0.001); sensory sensitivity was negatively correlated with stress (p < 0.05). Regression models indicated that both sensory sensitivity and low registration patterns were predictors of depression, anxiety, stress, and the total score of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21. The sensory avoidance predicted depression, while the sensory seeking pattern was linked only to stress. Conclusion: Passive self-regulation strategies (sensory sensitivity and low registration) may play a role in experiencing mental ill-health issues. In contrast, active self-regulation strategies (sensory avoidance and sensory seeking) may help protect against these mental health challenges. Occupational therapists can help clients manage mental health issues better by addressing sensory processing patterns. However, more evidence is required. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.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: 3Citation - Scopus: 1Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Occupational Therapists in Turkey: a Cross-Sectional Study(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024) Bektas, Selen Aydoner; Degerli, Medine Nur Ozata; Altuntas, Onur; Bumin, GoncaWork-related musculoskeletal disorders are a common cause of absentism and work disability. As work-related musculoskeletal disorders represent an increasingly important issue for occupational therapists, this study determined musculoskeletal disorders among occupational therapists in Turkey. A total of 238 occupational therapists participated and completed the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. As a result, 73.1% of participants reported experiencing neck pain and 72.3% reported experiencing low back pain at 12 months. Statistically significant differences were found between participants with and without work-related musculoskeletal disorders regarding gender, experience, workplace type, treatment, and daily working hours (p < 0.05). Occupational therapists may experience work-related musculoskeletal disorders due to not practicing proper body mechanics or non-provision of transferring equipment.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Correlations Between the Screen Time of Children With Special Needs and Their Parent-Child Relationships, Home Participation, and Occupational Performance(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Akyurek, Gokcen; Aydoner, Selen; Gundogmus, Ezginur; Gunal, Rumeysa; Ozan, Aysenur DemirThis study aimed to examine the relationships between the screen time of children with special needs and of their parents with their home participation, occupational performance, and parent-child relationships according to sex and diagnosis. Parents of 150 children with special needs (age range, 4 to 6 years) such as autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as undiagnosed and developmentally risky children, were included. The Demographic Information Form, Screen Time Usage Form, Parent-Child Relationship Scale, Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth, and Short Child Occupational Profile were used for the data collection. There was a significant relationship between the screen time of girls and their parent-child relationships, home participation, and occupational performance. Moreover, we detected a relationship between the screen time of children with autism spectrum disorder and positive parent-child relationships, home participation, and occupational performance. Therapists should account for screen time in their interventions associated with parent-child relationships, home participation, and occupational performance.Article The Influence of Leisure Screen Time on Sleep Patterns and Feeding Behaviors in Primary School Children(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Aydoner Bektas, Selen; Bumin, GoncaThe increasing use of screen-based devices in children's daily lives has raised concerns about their effects on health behaviors such as sleep and feeding. This study investigated the relationship between leisure screen time and sleep and feeding problems in primary school children. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 322 children aged 7-10 years and their parents. Parents completed questionnaires measuring children's daily leisure screen time, sleep patterns, and feeding behaviors. Results showed that weekend leisure screen time (M = 149.4 minutes/day) was higher than weekdays. Significant positive correlations were found between leisure screen time and both total feeding problem scores (weekdays: r = 0.22; weekends: r = 0.25, p < .01) and sleep disturbances (weekdays: r = 0.29; weekends: r = 0.32, p < .01). The most affected areas were selective eating and sleep initiation/maintenance. Regression analysis revealed that weekend leisure screen time significantly predicted feeding problems (beta = 0.22, p = .001) and sleep disturbances (beta = 0.27, p < .001), explaining 8% and 12% of the variance, respectively. The findings indicate the importance of managing children's screen time - particularly on weekends - to support healthier sleep and eating patterns and guide family-based interventions.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Does Working Style Affect the Occupational Balance and Life Satisfaction of Office Workers in Turkey? a Comparison Study(Ios Press, 2024) Degerli, Medine Nur Ozata; Aydoner, Selen; Altuntas, Onur; Bumin, GoncaBACKGROUND: The coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) has caused various effects, changing people's lives and work styles. During this period, workplaces decided to work remotely, so people spent more time at home. Therefore, workers' personal and work lives were negatively affected. OBJECTIVE: This study planned to compare traditional and remote office workers' occupational balance and life satisfaction in Turkey during COVID-19. METHODS: Google Survey was used for data collection. Three hundred office workers (18-65 years old) from Turkey participated in the study. The occupational balance and life satisfaction levels of participants were assessed using the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (QB-Quest) and Personal Well-being Index-Adult (PWI-A). RESULTS: Data collected were analyzed statistically by the Independent Sample t-test. It was found that the remote office workers had lower levels of occupational balance (p = 0.02; r = -3.317) and life satisfaction (p = 0.01; r = -2.199) compared to the traditional office workers. CONCLUSION: Remote office workers were found to have lower occupational balance and life satisfaction than traditional office workers. In this period, when the way of working changes like COVID-19, it is crucial to determine office workers' occupational balance and life satisfaction and take precautions for their job performance and satisfaction.Article Empowering a Mother of Children With Autism: a Case Report on the Impact of Tele-Occupational Performance Coaching on Parent-Child Relationships, Maternal Self-Efficacy, and Occupational Performance(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Bektas, Selen Aydoner; Bumin, GoncaThis case report aimed at tele-occupational performance coaching to empower the mother of a child with autism spectrum disorder by enhancing occupational performance, parent-child relationships, and maternal self-efficacy. Over 8 weeks, the intervention addressed goals collaboratively identified by the mother, including self-care, productivity, and leisure-related tasks. Results revealed clinically significant improvements, with a two-point increase in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores for both performance and satisfaction. Significant score increases were also obtained on the Parent-Child Relationship Scale and the Early Intervention Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale. The findings underscore the effectiveness of tele-occupational performance coaching in enhancing family dynamics and parental capabilities while emphasizing the potential of telehealth as a scalable and accessible modality for delivering family-centered occupational therapy. Future research should expand on these findings by incorporating diverse populations and assessing long-term outcomes.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7The Factors Associated With School Readiness: Sensory Processing, Motor, and Visual Perceptual Skills, and Executive Functions in Kindergarten Children(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Aydoner, Selen; Bumin, GoncaMany developmental skills are related to children's school readiness in the early years, and these skills are essential for later achievement. Some of these skills include sensory processing, motor and visual perceptual skills, and executive functions. To date, limited research has examined these skills associated with school readiness. This study investigated the relationship between sensory processing, motor and visual perceptual skills, and executive functions, and school readiness in kindergarten children. A total of 138 kindergarten children administered the Sensory Profile, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test 2- Brief Form, the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills-3, the Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory, and the Primary School Readiness Scale. The results showed that sensory processing, motor and visual perceptual skills, and executive functions were correlated with children's school readiness, and these skills were also highly predictive of children's school readiness (p < 0.05). It is necessary for future studies to consider these skills when assessing school readiness and to include strategies to develop these skills in intervention programs.Article Nörolojik, Pediatrik ve Psikiyatrik Rehabilitasyonda Çalışan Ergoterapistlerde Algılanan Stres, İş Tatmini ve Mesleki Yaşam Kalitesinin Karşılaştırılması: Kesitsel Bir Araştırma(2025) Doğu, Selma Ercan; Aydöner, SelenAmaç: Ergoterapistlerin algılanan stres düzeyleri, iş doyumu ve mesleki yaşam kalitesi çalışma alanlarına göre değişiklik gösterebi lir. Çalışmanın amacı; nörolojik, pediatrik ve psikiyatrik rehabilitasyon alanlarında çalışan ergoterapistlerin algılanan stres düzeyleri, iş do yumu ve mesleki yaşam kalitelerini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yön temler: Çalışmaya; nörolojik, pediatrik ve psikiyatrik rehabilitasyon alanlarında çalışan 86 ergoterapist katıldı. Veriler Sosyodemografik Form, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği, Minnesota İş Doyumu Ölçeği ve Mesleki Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ile elde edildi. Bulgular: Pediatrik, psikiyatrik ve nörolojik alanlarda çalışan tüm ergoterapistlerin algılanan stres, iş doyumu ve mesleki yaşam kalitesi puan ortalamaları benzerdi. Ergote rapistlerin çalışma alanlarına göre algılanan stres, iş doyumu ve mes leki yaşam kalitesi puanları açısından bir fark bulunmazken, pediatrik rehabilitasyonda çalışan ergoterapistlerin Mesleki Yaşam Kalitesi Öl çeği’nin Şefkat Memnuniyeti alt ölçeği puan ortalamaları, nörolojik ve psikiyatrik rehabilitasyonda çalışan ergoterapistlerden daha yüksekti. Sonuç: Farklı rehabilitasyon alanlarındaki ergoterapistler benzer algı lanan stres, iş doyumu ve genel mesleki yaşam kalitesi düzeyleri ser gilerken, pediatrik rehabilitasyondakiler istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek şefkat memnuniyetine sahipti. Pediatrik alanda şefkat memnuniyetinin yüksek olmasına katkıda bulunan faktörleri araştırmak ve diğer reha bilitasyon alanlarında bu yönü geliştirmeye yönelik stratejileri göz önünde bulundurmak için daha fazla araştırma yapılması önerilmektedir.
