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, Gonca; Ergoterapi BölümüMany 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 Occupation-Based Intervention for Instrumental Activities of Daily Living in People With Disabilities: a Single-Blinded Randomised Controlled Trial(MA Healthcare Ltd, 2024) Akyurek, G.; Aydoner, S.; Ceyhan, I.; Ergoterapi BölümüBackground/aims Instrumental activities of daily living are meaningful and purposeful activities that contribute meaning to people's lives and reflect their values and cultures in the community. This study investigated the effects of an occupation-based intervention for instrumental activities of daily living on stress levels, quality of life, and participation in instrumental activities of daily living in people with disabilities. Methods A total of 18 people with different types of disabilities (intervention group n=9, control group n=9) were recruited. The occupation-based intervention took place in 45-minute sessions, with a total of 16 sessions held twice a week for 8 weeks. The measurement tools used were the Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale and the Waisman Activities of Daily Living Scale to evaluate activities of daily living, the Mini-Mental State Examination to examine cognitive status, the 36-item Short Form Survey questionnaire to assess quality of life, the Perceived Stress Scale to examine stress level, and the Community Integration Questionnaire to evaluate participation in the community were used. Results After 8 weeks, there were significant improvements in performance and participation in instrumental activities of daily living, stress and quality of life in the intervention group intervention group had significant increases in instrumental activities of daily living (z=−2.6, P=0.008), vitality (z=−0.5, P=0.041), role emotional (z=−2.7, P=0.008), role physical (z=−2.3, P=0.020), general health (z=−3.3, P=0.001) and participation (z=−1.3, P=0.023). There were also significant reductions in stress (z=−2.8, P=0.005) and bodily pain (z=−3.2, P=0.001) scores compared to the control group conclusions The occupation-based intervention reduced the stress levels of people with a range of disabilities and increased their ability to perform activities of daily living], participation in activities of daily living and improved their quality of life. Implications for practice Occupational therapists could use occupation-based interventions to reduce the stress levels of people with disabilities and increase their performance and participation in activities of daily living and improve their quality of life. © 2024 MA Healthcare Ltd.Article How Have Occupational Therapy Services Been Delivered During the COVID-19 Pandemic(Nova Southeastern Univ., 2024) Yucel, Hulya; Aydoner, Selen; Ergoterapi BölümüThe provision of traditional healthcare services has encountered obstacles due to the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The inability of healthcare professionals and clients to survive the pandemic and the inadequacy of personal protective equipment have created uncertainties regarding the appropriate practices for addressing individuals' health conditions. Furthermore, the field of rehabilitation, including occupational therapy, has experienced changes in the delivery of traditional practices. Therefore, this review aimed to examine occupational therapy services delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the literature review, the most commonly provided services by occupational therapists during COVID-19 were discussed and a total of 87 references were accessed. These services were grouped under the headings of acute/intensive care unit, post-COVID-19, telerehabilitation, preventive mental health, school-based occupational therapy, occupational therapy education, and ergonomics. It was seen that occupational therapists had several challenges during the pandemic. They had to adapt their interventions according to the new conditions and so they have frequently used technology. It is crucial for the effectiveness of the rehabilitation that occupational therapy services continue in challenging and unexpected situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It is necessary to strengthen future occupational therapy practices based on standards through collaboration among occupational therapists. It is believed that this review will shed light on the role and importance of occupational therapy during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Examining the Sensory Processing Skills and Occupational Performance of People With Multiple Sclerosis(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024) Aydoner, Selen; Bumin, Gonca; Ergoterapi BölümüThis study aimed to compare sensory processing skills and occupational performance between participants with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls. Eighty participants were enrolled in this study, 40 with multiple sclerosis and 40 with healthy controls. Participants were between 18 and 65 years of age and asked to complete the Adult Sensory Profile, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. The findings of the study revealed that participants with multiple sclerosis had a lower ability to register sensory input, a higher sensory sensitivity, and avoidance, as well as lower levels of performance and satisfaction in their daily occupations, compared to the healthy controls (p < 0.05). People with multiple sclerosis often experience difficulties with sensory processing and occupational performance in daily life. More research and practice are needed on the role of sensory processing and occupational performance in daily life in people with multiple sclerosis.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 Aydoner; Ergoterapi BölümüBackground: 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, Gonca; Ergoterapi BölümüWork-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: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Correlations 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 Demir; Ergoterapi BölümüThis 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 Does 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, Gonca; Ergoterapi BölümüBACKGROUND: 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, Gonca; Ergoterapi BölümüThis 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 Relationship Between Executive Functions and School Readiness in Kindergarten Children With Cochlear Implant(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Bektas, Selen Aydoner; Bumin, Gonca; Ergoterapi BölümüThis study aimed to examine the relationship between executive functions and school readiness of kindergarten children with cochlear implants. The study included 109 children between the ages of 57 and 71 months, who were enrolled in a special education practice school for the deaf and followed up by the ear, nose, and throat diseases clinic, who had bilateral severe or profound sensorineural type hearing loss and who used bilateral cochlear implants. The participants' teachers filled out the Childhood Executive Functions Inventory and the Primary School Readiness Scale. The findings showed a significant relationship between the Childhood Executive Functions Inventory-Working Memory, Inhibitory Control, and Total scores and Primary School Readiness Scale of kindergarten children with cochlear implant (r values are -.793, -.819., and -.768, respectively; p < 0.01). The results obtained from this study emphasize the importance of interventions that support the executive functions and school readiness of children with cochlear implants from the earliest period and increase their participation in school life.
