Amaç: Diyabetin kronik komplikasyonlarına bağlı gelişen diyabetik ayak ülserleri hastalar, aile bireyleri ve sağlık sistemine ciddi yükler getiren ve her türlü çabaya rağmen ekstremite kaybı ile sonuçlanabilen bir toplum sağlığı sorunudur. Diyabet hastalarında yaşamları boyu diyabetik ayak ülseri gelişme riskinin %15-25 olduğu göz önüne alındığında sorunun büyüklüğü açıkça görülmektedir. Bu nedenle amaç, ayak ülseri gelişmeden önce koruyucu tedbirler uygulamaktır. Çalışmamızda, hastanemiz Sualtı Hekimliği ve Hiperbarik Tıp Polikliniği’ne müracaat eden diyabetik hastaların diyabetik ayak farkındalığı ve diyabetik ayak eğitimi alma durumlarının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Kesitsel nitelikteki çalışmanın evrenini 78 diyabet hastası oluşturmaktadır. Sağlık politikalarının belirlenmesinde bölgesel özelliklerin önemli olduğu düşüncesiyle, hastanemiz Sualtı Hekimliği ve Hiperbarik Tıp Polikliniği’ne müracaat eden 78 diyabet hastasına diyabetik ayak eğitim durumu ve farkındalığı konusunda 15 soruluk bir anket değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hastaların %84.6’sı (n=66) diyabetik ayak ülserine sahipti. Hastaların %74.4’ü (n=58) daha önce diyabetik ayak konusunu hiç duymadıklarını, diyabet eğitimi alan hastalar (%48.7, n=38) ise eğitimde diyabetik ayak konusundan bahsedilmediğini belirtti. Hastaların diyabetik ayak ve ayak bakımı hakkında spesifik bir eğitim alıp almadıkları sorgulandığında sadece %12.8’inin (n=10) eğitim aldığı, fakat %87.2’sinin (n=68) eğitim almadıkları tespit edildi. Ailelerin diyabetik ayak eğitimleri sorgulandığında ise %94.9’unun (n=74) herhangi bir eğitim almamış olduğu anlaşıldı. Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonucunda Muğla'da hastalar ve aile bireylerinde diyabetik ayak eğitimi alma sıklığı oldukça düşüktü, aynı zamanda bu konunun diyabet eğitiminin bir parçası olmadığı da ortaya kondu. Koruyucu sağlık uygulamaları açısından bakıldığında, ilk kez diyabet tanısı alan hastaların diyabet eğitimlerine diyabetik ayak ve korunma yöntemleri konusunun entegre edilerek, ailelerin de bu eğitimlere dahil olması çok önemlidir. Eski tanılı hastalar ve aileleri için ise diyabetik ayak eğitim toplantıları planlanması faydalı olacaktır. Ayrıca bilişim teknolojileri ve kitlesel iletişim araçlarının etkin kullanımı gözardı edilmemelidir.

Objective: It was aimed to examine the behaviors of adults in food preferences and to determine the factors affecting the perceived stress situations of adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This descriptive study was conducted as an e-survey in Turkey with 372 adults aged 40-64 years after the second closure. Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic, 59.1% of the group did not shop for food with any orders. In this process, the most preferred foods are eggs (86.3%), meat and meat products (85.8%), milk and dairy products (85.5%), fresh vegetables (84.4%) and fresh fruit (83.3%). 58.9% of the participants do not want to shop in crowded places such as markets and bazaars. It was determined that 79.6% of them were worried about the increase in food prices, 78.8% of them bought food with panic, and 90.1% of them stocked up on food. The most stocked foods during the COVID-19 pandemic were legumes (58.9%) and cereals (52.2%). 38.7% of the participants stated that the concern about adequate food availability and 27.7% of them stated that the concern about food safety has increased. It was determined that the PSS total score averages of the participants who made panic purchases during the COVID-19 pandemic (p=0.018) and who had increased food safety concerns (p=0.000) were higher. Participants with increased awareness of food waste (p=0.003), food preparation behavior at home (p=0.024), concern for adequate food availability (p=0.034) and food safety concerns (p=0.000) had low insufficient self-efficacy sub-dimension mean scores. During the COVID-19 pandemic process, the stress/discomfort sub-dimension score averages of the participants who shopped both on-site and on order (p=0.015), showed panicky buying behavior (p=0.000), had increased ordering behavior via the internet (p=0.002), had increased awareness of food waste (p=0.000), had increased food preparation behavior at home (p=0.000), was worried about adequate food availability (p=0.000), and had food safety concerns (p=0.000) were found to be high. Conclusion: Examining the behavior of food consumers in extraordinary situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic is important both in terms of health and social aspects and will facilitate the planning of food and economic policies.

Innovation is of great importance in improving the quality of care. Nurses must apply creative techniques and improve existing procedures to create greater care opportunities. Additionally, nurses that have unique ideas should be encouraged to pursue them, and those that are successful should be recognized and rewarded. Because revealing the innovative role of nurses in health care is of great importance in terms of improving both public health and professional knowledge. In line with these importance and suggestions, it was aimed to evaluate the individual innovativeness levels of nurses in this study. The cross-sectional study was conducted with 427 nurses working at the Health Practice and Research Center of a university, who continued to work between the application dates (April-May 2019) and agreed to participate in the research. Ethics Committee (Decision No: 2019-04/52), institutional permission and written and verbal consent from the nurses were obtained for the research. The data of the research were collected by using the "Personal Information Form" and the "Individual Innovation Scale". The data obtained from the study were evaluated by applying the relevant statistical tests in the SPSS 22.00 program. In this study, the mean score of the individual innovative scale was found to be 65.19 (8.16). When the individual innovative levels of nurses were evaluated according to this average, it was determined that 34.9% were skeptical, 34.4% questioning, 17.3% traditional, 12.2% pioneering and 1.2% innovative. It was determined that the nurses' being 41 and over, working in the profession for more than 21 years, being a member of a professional association and living in the city center affected their individual innovativeness scores statistically. The results of the research revealed that being a high school and associate degree graduate, working as a clinical nurse and not needing to follow professional knowledge are risk factors for individual innovativeness. According to these results, it is seen that the innovativeness level of nurses is low. The results of the research revealed the need to increase the individual innovativeness level of nurses.

Amaç: Covid-19 virüsü 60 yaş üzeri ve kronik hastaları, gebeleri ve yenidoğanları sağlıklı yetişkinlere kıyasla daha olumsuz etkilemiştir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada, pandemi döneminde annelerin yenidoğan bebeklerini enfeksiyondan korumak için uyguladıkları yöntemlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya katılmayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden anneler ‘Purposive Sampling’ yöntemi ile araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanıp sosyal medya üzerinden paylaşılan ‘Google Forms’ aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya n=494 anne katılmıştır. Annelerin %64,4’ünün ev hijyen alışkanlıklarında değişiklik olduğu, %88,7’si pandemi sürecinde bebeğin aşılarını düzenli olarak yaptırdığı, %74,9’u bebeği sağlık kontrolüne düzenli götürdüğü, %65,6’sının bebeğini sık sık öpmediği belirlenmiştir. Anne yaşı, eğitim durumu, bebeğin yaşı ve yaşayan çocuk sayısı ile bebeği enfeksiyondan korumaya yönelik bazı davranışlar arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu süreçte doğum yapan annelere bakım veren ebelerin anneleri emzirmeye teşvik etmesi, izolasyon kurallarına uyulmasını sağlaması, annelerin destek ihtiyacı olduğunda telefon ile ulaşılabilir olmaları konusunda tele-sağlık sisteminin güçlendirilmesi, konuyla ilgili güncel rehber önerilerinin takip edilmesi ve aileye bilgi aktarılması yenidoğan bebeği olan aileye verilecek bütüncül ebelik bakımı açısından önem taşımaktadır.

Objective: In this study, the relationships between work family conflicts, work stress that may arise from these conflicts, job dissatisfaction and turnover intention of employees were investigated. Method: The research was carried out with healthcare professionals working in a public hospital during the Covid-19 process. The causal screening design was used in the research conducted with the quantitative research method. Data were collected with the questionnaire technique. Work family conflict scale, work stress scale, job dissatisfaction scale and turnover intention scale were used in the research. The construct validity of the scales was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis. In addition, the convergent and discriminant validity of the scales were examined. The reliability of the scales was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability coefficients. In the research model tested by path analysis, direct, indirect and total effects were examined. Results: As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the scales used in the research had construct validity and that the scales had convergent and discriminant validity. The scales were found to be reliable. In the path analysis, it was determined that work family conflict and work stress did not have significant direct effects on turnover intention, but had significant indirect effects. It has been observed that job dissatisfaction has a mediating role in these indirect effects. Conclusion: It has been evaluated that the research findings can be useful for policy makers and health managers. Appropriate policies should be developed on the issues of work family conflict, work stress and job satisfaction in order to lower the turnover intention of the employees. Particular attention should be paid to the issue of job satisfaction in determining these policies.

Objective: This study was conducted to reveal the evaluations of individuals living in Bitlis about family physicians and family medicine practice and to determine the differences in demographic information. Method: Models and hypotheses created in accordance with the purpose of the research were analyzed with quantitative methods. The research data were obtained through a face-to-face questionnaire by interviewing 433 people. Because of the normal distribution of the data, analyzes were performed using parametric tests. A cross-sectional study was conducted and data were collected in March-April 2019. Descriptive statistics were included and Anova and independent sample t-tests were used to detect differences. Results: When the attitudes of the participants towards family physicians are examined; it was determined that the majority of them knew their family physicians and evaluated their approach to them positively, but the frequency of going to family medicine was generally low. It was determined that they preferred physicians other than these physicians, although they did not change or do not intend to change their family physician. In addition, it was determined that the majority of the participants preferred family physicians because the family health centers were close to them. According to the findings, it was concluded that the attitude levels of the participants who were younger, high school graduates and had no children were statistically significantly lower than the others. According to the findings, it was concluded that the attitude levels of the young, high school graduates, and non-children were statistically significantly lower than the others; those who are married, recommend a family doctor and have a higher income than others have higher attitude levels. Conclusions: In order to increase the rate of going to the family doctor in case of any illness and to create a healthy referral chain, the reasons for not going to the family doctor should be investigated first. Thus, it will be possible for the health system to work effectively and reduce the burden of secondary and tertiary health institutions.

In addition, it was determined that the majority of the participants preferred family physicians because the family health centers were close to them. According to the findings, it was concluded that the attitude levels of the participants who were younger, high school graduates and had no children were statistically significantly lower than the others. According to the findings, it was concluded that the attitude levels of the young, high school graduates, and non-children were statistically significantly lower than the others; those who are married, recommend a family doctor and have a higher income than others have higher attitude levels. \u0000Conclusions: In order to increase the rate of going to the family doctor in case of any illness and to create a healthy referral chain, the reasons for not going to the family doctor should be investigated first. Thus, it will be possible for the health system to work effectively and reduce the burden of secondary and tertiary health institutions.","PeriodicalId":212263,"journal":{"name":"Karya Journal of Health Science","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127617058","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}
Background/aim: The aim of this study is to determine the types of thyroidectomy procedures and diagnosis, gender, age, clinical characteristics, and duration of stay in hospital in the patient population who underwent thyroidectomy in Turkey. In addition, it was aimed to determine the effect of demographic and clinical characteristics on the duration of hospital stay. Material and Methods: This research is a retrospective cross-sectional study. In the study, the demographic and clinical data of the patients who underwent thyroidectomy procedures during one year in Turkey were examined. Research data involves the data of the 25167 patients who underwent thyroidectomy procedures in the hospitals of the Ministry of Health in 2016. ICD-10-AM was used in grouping the diagnosis and procedures related to thyroidectomy cases. Descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T-test, Mann-Whitney U-Test, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in the analysis of the data. Results: The most common surgical procedure performed in the patient group is total thyroidectomy. In the study group, the mean age was 49.62±12.917 years and the majority (81%) of patients were females. The average duration of hospital stay was 4.87±3.308 days. Conclusion: Conclusion: It was concluded that the duration of hospital stay was longer in patients who underwent a thyroidectomy procedure, in the male sex, those aged 50 years or over, those with a diagnosis of neoplasm, those with infection, those with hypertensive disease, those with heart disease, those who underwent other surgical procedures in addition to thyroidectomy, and those who developed complications compared to other patient groups.

Background: The study was applied descriptively to evaluate the knowledge level of nurses about the care of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted in a multi-centered manner with people who work as nurses and whose e-mail and telephone information have been reached throughout Turkey. The sample consisted of 360 nurses who volunteered to participate in the study. The data were collected with "Participant Information Form" and "Information Level Assessment Form on Multiple Sclerosis and Care". Results: The knowledge scores of the participants differ significantly according to the age variable and education level. Knowledge scores of participants who had cared for individuals with MS before, the knowledge scores of those who received special education about MS, the knowledge scores of those who read articles about MS, were higher. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the knowledge level of nurses about Multiple Sclerosis and its care was above the medium level. It is thought that their level of knowledge arises from experience. The results show that there is a need to increase the training of nurses on the subject
