Objective: It is aimed to in this study, to determine the distribution of the pre-hospital emergency health services provided by 112 Emergency Health Services Stations in Bingöl in 2019, 2020 and 2021 according to the number of cases, location of the cases, gender, reasons for the call, pre-diagnosis, the way the cases were concluded and show the changes over the years. Method: This study is a retrospective descriptive study. Within the scope of the study, the data of the 112 Emergency Health Services Stations in Bingöl for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 were examined through the Emergency Health Automation System (ASOS). The calls given to the stations, the reasons for the call, the distribution according to gender and months, the preliminary diagnoses and the outcome of the cases were evaluated. Results: In Bingöl, the number of cases in 2020 increased by 41.8% compared to 2019, and the number of cases in 2021 decreased by 7% compared to 2020. In 2019, emergency calls were most common in the 18-34 age group (25.2%), while in 2020 (27.1%) and 2021 (25.8), they were most common in the 65 and over age group. While the most common prediagnosis was cardiovascular diseases (12.84%) in 2019, Covid 19 and related diagnoses were the most common in 2020 (28.4%) and 2021 (21.5%). Conclusion: Due to the pandemic, the number of emergency calls has increased significantly. While the population per 112 station in Bingöl is half of the Turkey average, the number of cases per station is below the Turkey average. It is important to take into account regional differences and population density in emergency health services.

Objective: The quality and readability of internet resources about a common disease gain importance as a research topic. This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the quality and readability of the freely available online health information on plantar fasciitis. Method: Google search engine was used to search the “plantar fasciitis” term and the first 200 websites evaluated. The quality of the information on the websites was assessed using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score and the Health On the Net Foundation Code of Conduct (HONcode) certification. The readability of the online content was evaluated by two separate scores: The Flesch-Kincaid (FK) grade level and the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG). Results: A total of 162 websites were evaluated. The FK and SMOG level of websites were 7.06±1.8 and 6.65±1.4, respectively. The JAMA Score was 2.21±1.2. Only 27 (16.7%) of the websites had a HONcode, whereas 135 (83.3%) did not. Commercial and Professional websites were found the lowest credible source. Conclusion: The online information about plantar fasciitis is variable and poor quality. We believe that the highest quality content can be found on health portals. Patients should be careful when reading information about plantar fasciitis from commercial websites.

Objective: Bone marrow biopsy is an efficient and reliable diagnostic procedure for the identification of bone marrow involvement. In recent years, bone marrow examination has become more helpful in documenting the metastatic involvement of malignancies. Method: Patients with solid tumors and anomalies in hematological parameters had their peripheral blood morphology examined at our facility. Each instance included information on the patient's peripheral blood counts, peripheral blood morphology, and prior therapies. The purpose of this study was to analyze bone marrow biopsy and aspiration for unexplained hematological abnormalities in solid cancer patients and to look into the pathological findings, clinical and hematological laboratory features, and outcomes of such patients in our facility. Additionally, we provided information on the treatment and prognosis of these patients. Results: When compared to the group that had bone marrow biopsy involvement, the lower RDW-Cv value in the former group was shown to be statistically significant (p=0.005; p0.01). It was determined that the difference between the fibrosis values of the groups with and without bone marrow biopsy involvement was statistically significant (p=0.016; p0.05). It was determined to be statistically significant (p=0.002; p0.01) that the LDH value of the group without bone marrow biopsy involvement was lower than that of the group with BM biopsy involvement. Anemia (p=0.028; p0.05), bone metastases (p=0.001; p0.01), bone marrow biopsy involvement in PET-CT (p=0.001; p0.01), and peripheral smear results (p=0.001; p0.01) all showed a statistically significant correlation. Conclusion: In conclusion, bone marrow metastasis should be considered when inexplicable hematological abnormalities, particularly unexplained anemia, and elevated RDW and LDH parameters are found in clinical practice. A bone marrow biopsy is advised for a conclusive diagnosis.

Introduction: Social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic has had negative physical and psychological consequences for the elderly. We, therefore, aimed to determine the most factors affecting the physical activity of the older adults living in Turkey. Materials and method: A structured Google survey including demographics, frailty level (Frail Scale), depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale [GDS]), physical activity level (PASE Questionnaire), kinesiophobia (TAMPA Scale), and anxiety (Beck Anxiety Scale) of older adults was used to collect data. The determine factors affecting physical activity level, multiple regression analysis was calculated. Results: Of the participants (28% male; 72% female; mean age: 69.34±15.03 years), while 52% stated that they were less physically active, 93% indicated that their social participation had decreased during the pandemic. The mean physical activity score was 89.12±55.33, with the highest score for household activities (32.00±21.34) and the lowest for work-related activities (2.10±6.33). Kinesiophobia scores were increased (mean: 41.44±7.39). About half of the participants were in the category “warrants a comprehensive assessment for depression” while 18% were in the “suggestive of depression” category and 30% in the “no depression” category (GDS’s mean score, 14.41±6.01). Additionally, 29% had severe anxiety, 25% had moderate anxiety, 24% had mild anxiety, and 22% had no anxiety, respectively. The mean frailty score was 2.09±1.69 (distribution: normal, 19%; prefrail, 53%; frail, 28%). According to the univariate linear regression analysis and multiple regression analysis, the most factors affecting physical activity level were found to be age, BMI score, kinesiophobia, and frailty. Conclusion: The results obtained from this study showed that older adults’ physical activity level decreased in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, increased kinesiophobia and increased frailty lead to decreased physical activity level among older adults. These findings recommend to health policy makers and health care providers to make suitable plan of care for older adults.

These findings recommend to health policy makers and health care providers to make suitable plan of care for older adults.","PeriodicalId":212263,"journal":{"name":"Karya Journal of Health Science","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131447332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Objective: Family health centers are the first place for healthcare providers and vaccine-hesitant parents who need information. Healthcare providers can play an important role in mitigating vaccine hesitancy by providing accurate information to parents. This study aims to determine the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy or refusal among parents encountered by healthcare workers in family health centers in Kırşehir, and to identify associated factors. Method: The study population consisted of family health workers working in Family Health Centers at the Kırşehir Center. The data from used in the cross-sectional study was prepared by the researchers by reviewing the literature. The data were collected by aplying face-to-face question and answer technique during the visits of the researchers to the family health centers. Results: When asked about the rate of vaccine hesitancy/refusal in the past year, 13.2% (n=10) reported that they had encountered it frequently, and 28.9% (n=22) reported that they had encountered it at least once. Of the participants, 61.8% (n=47) reported that the socioeconomic level of families experiencing vaccine refusal was high. When the participants met with a parent who refused vaccination, 98.7% (n=75) stated that they would explain the necessity of vaccines and encourage them to receive them, and 1.3% (n=1) stated that they would respect this decision. The most common reason given to the participants by families who were undecide or refusal vaccine was objections to the ingredients in the vaccine (mercury, thimerosal, etc.) with rate of 71.1% (n=54). Conclusion: Vaccine ambivalence was found to be against all vaccines and the act of vaccination, not against a specific vaccine. It was observed that when families who were hesitant about vaccination were informed by healthcare proffessionals, their attitudes changed. For this reason, it is important that parents with vaccine hesitancy are adequately and accurately informed about vaccines. It is thought that regular trainings should be organized for both healthcare professionals and families on vaccination in Turkey and the health literacy level of the society should be increased.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin barınma durumlarının (ev veya yurt), beslenme alışkanlıkları ve besin tüketim miktarlarının konstipasyon ile ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma, Akdeniz Üniversitesinde eğitim alan (n=382) öğrenciler ile kesitsel olarak yürütülmüştür. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik bilgileri ve beslenme alışkanlıkları soru formu kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı ve bel çevresi gibi antropometrik ölçümler alınmış ve beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) hesaplanmıştır. Katılımcıların bir günlük geriye dönük besin tüketim kaydı, araştırmacılar tarafından alınmış; konstipasyon durumlarının değerlendirilmesinde ise bristol dışkılama skalası ve konstipasyon ciddiyet ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 21.5±1.48 yıldır. Bireylerin BKİ ortalaması 21.9±3.38 kg/m2 olup yaklaşık dörtte üçünün (kadın %75.0 ve erkek %73.3) normal BKİ’ye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Her iki grupta da beyaz ekmek; günde 1 porsiyon meyve veya sebze, haftada 1-2 porsiyon kurubaklagil ve sebze yemeği tüketimi çoğunluktadır.
