Purpose: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prostate cancer screening behaviors and health beliefs related to prostate cancer screening among individuals aged 50 and over. Material and Methods: The study sample consisted of 72 men aged 50 and over receiving treatment at the orthopedics and traumatology clinic of a university hospital. Data were collected using a "Personal Information Form" and the "Prostate Cancer Screening Health Belief Model Scale." Results: The mean age of the participants in the study was 61.59±8.51 years. It was found that 22.2% of the participants had undergone Prostate-Specific Antigen testing, 73.6% had no knowledge about prostate cancer, and 75% had no knowledge about early detection tests for prostate cancer. Furthermore, participants who had knowledge about prostate cancer and early detection, had a family history of prostate cancer, and considered undergoing prostate examination had a higher rate of undergoing Prostate-Specific Antigen testing. Those who had never undergone a prostate examination, had no knowledge about prostate cancer and early detection tests, and did not plan to undergo prostate examination within the next six months had higher scores on the barrier perception scale, while those who had undergone Prostate-Specific Antigen testing and planned to undergo prostate examination within the next six months had higher scores on the health motivation perception scale. Conclusion: The study revealed a low rate of Prostate-Specific Antigen testing for early detection of prostate cancer, and participants' knowledge and health beliefs and perceptions related to prostate cancer and early detection tests were identified as key factors influencing prostate cancer screening behaviors.

Purpose: Surface anatomy plays a crucial role in physical therapy education as it enables the examination of subcutaneous structures through palpation. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of palpation on landmarks among physical therapy students (PT). Material and Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study evaluated the accuracy of palpation on anatomical landmarks. The researchers specified 21 landmarks for palpation assessment. Each landmark was scored on a scale of 0 to 3, and the Landmark Total Palpation Score (Lt) was calculated based on the scores of all 21 landmarks. A higher score indicated poorer accuracy in identifying anatomical landmarks. Results: The participants' Lt scores had a mean of 10.09 ± 9.66, with a standard deviation. The Lt demonstrated excellent intra-rater reliability (ICC = 0.91). Conclusion: The study findings indicate a good level of anatomical landmark identification among PT students. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there was a good level anatomical landmark identification among PT students

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the awareness of nursing department students about child neglect and abuse and their attitudes about reporting cases of child neglect and abuse. Material and Methods: The study population consisted of 464 students studying at the Department of Nursing of the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university. No sampling was performed in the study, and 331 students who agreed to participate in the research were included in the study. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, The Diagnosis Scale of The Risks and Symptoms of Child Abuse and Neglect and the Healthcare Provider Attitudes Toward Child Maltreatment Reporting Scale. The research data were collected by the researchers by face-to-face interview method between March-April 2022.In the analysis of the data, percentage distributions, averages, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and correlation analysis were used. Results: The Diagnosis Scale of the Risks and Symptoms of Child Abuse and Neglect score average of the students participating in the study was 3.66±0.41, and their score average on the Healthcare Provider Attitudes Toward Child Maltreatment Reporting Scale was 67.14±7.47. A significant difference was found between the students' gender, year in school, the status of having received a course/lesson/training on neglect and abuse, and their average scores on The Diagnosis Scale of The Risks and Symptoms of Child Abuse and Neglect and the Healthcare Provider Attitudes Toward Child Maltreatment Reporting Scale. It was found that there was a positive and significant relationship between students' knowledge levels on child abuse and neglect and their attitudes towards reporting child abuse. Conclusion: Professionals working in the field of health have an important role in the prevention, detection and treatment of abuse and neglect cases. For this reason, education of professionals, society, families and children working on this issue is at the forefront of the actions that need to be aware of to identify and report neglect and abuse.

ABSTRACT (ENGLISH): Purpose: This study's objective was to assess the effectiveness of neural mobilization on asymptomatic, healthy volunteers' pain, muscle strength, and reaction time. Material and Methods: Hand grip strength, reaction time, and pain thresholds of 50 participiants’ were evaluated using a dynamometer, the Nelson Hand Reaction Test, and a digital algometer, respectively. While the dominant extremities of the participants constituted the neural mobilization group, the non-dominant extremities constituted the control group. The same measurements were repeated in both extremities by the blinded assessor after median nerve mobilization was applied to the dominant upper extremities of participants. Results: When the measurements before and after mobilization were compared in the neural mobilization group, it was seen that the hand grip strength increased (p 0.05); however, a statistically significant decrease was found in reaction time and pain threshold score (p 0.05). Conclusion: Neural mobilization may increase grip strength in healthy individuals but has no effect on pain threshold. Its effect on reaction time can be explained by motor learning. New studies are needed in different disease groups.

New studies are needed in different disease groups.","PeriodicalId":239741,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Science and Health","volume":"391 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123393950","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}
