This research aimed to examine the correlations between coronavirus anxiety, smartphone addiction, and sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: This study had a cross-sectional descriptive and correlational design and. Snowball sampling was used. Data collection was done online with individuals from different cities around Turkey between May – June 2021. The study was completed with 684 participants in total. For data collection, a personal information form, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, the Smartphone Addiction Scale, and the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire were used. Results: The participants had mean scores of 2.33±3.34 for the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, 33.33±11.69 for the Smartphone Addiction Scale, and 61.29±22.75 for the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. We found a negative correlation between mean sleep quality scores and mean coronavirus anxiety and smartphone addiction levels and a statistically significant positive correlation between mean coronavirus anxiety and smartphone addiction scores. Conclusion: This study revealed some correlations between coronavirus anxiety, smartphone addiction, and sleep quality in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. As coronavirus anxiety increased, sleep quality was found to decrease and smartphone addiction to increase. Besides, sleep quality was reduced as smartphone addiction increased.

Introduction: Waldeyer's ring (WR) is the second most common site of extranodal lymphomas. Its clinical course may resemble those of nodal lymphomas. In this study, we evaluated the histopathological and clinical findings, the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and overall survival of WR lymphomas diagnosed in our department. Materials and Methods: Retrospectively, 32 patients diagnosed with WR lymphoma between 2017-2022 were included. The demographic, clinical data of the patients and lymphoma types according to the latest classification of the World Health Organization, the presence of EBV (EBV early RNAs (EBER) by chromogenic in-situ hybridization (ISH) method) were examined. Descriptive statistics, categorical data were evaluated as percentage and frequency. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for survival rate. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The majority of 32 cases in our study were male. The mean age was 57.97±16.15 years. The clinical prediagnosis was carcinoma in 46.9% of the cases. Tonsil and nasopharynx had equal proportions as lymphoma origin. Only 3 (9.4%) cases are classic hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Others were NHL, of which 16 (50.0%) were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). EBER was positive only in tonsillar CHL cases. The survival of patients with lymphoma of nasopharyngeal origin was shorter than those of tonsillar origin (p=0.037). Conclusion: WR lymphomas are most often confused with carcinomas clinically. DLBCL is the most common type of lymphoma. EBER has been detected only in CHL. Survival is lower in lymphomas originating from the nasopharynx. Keywords: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Nasopharynx, Tonsil, Hodgkin Lymphoma
简介:Waldeyer's ring (WR)是结外淋巴瘤第二常见的部位。其临床过程可能与淋巴结淋巴瘤相似。在本研究中，我们评估了在我科诊断的WR淋巴瘤的组织病理学和临床表现、eb病毒(EBV)的存在和总生存率。材料和方法:回顾性分析了2017-2022年间诊断为WR淋巴瘤的32例患者。根据世界卫生组织(who)的最新分类，对患者的人口统计学、临床资料、淋巴瘤类型、EBV (EBV早期rna，用原位显色杂交(ISH)方法)的存在进行了检查。描述性统计，分类数据以百分比和频率进行评估。生存率采用Kaplan-Meier分析。P值小于0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:本组32例患者以男性居多。平均年龄57.97±16.15岁。临床诊断为癌的占46.9%。扁桃体和鼻咽部占淋巴瘤起源的同等比例。仅3例(9.4%)为典型霍奇金淋巴瘤(CHL)。其他为NHL，其中弥漫性大b细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL) 16例(50.0%)。只有扁桃体CHL病例中，EBER阳性。鼻咽部淋巴瘤患者的生存期短于扁桃体淋巴瘤患者(p=0.037)。结论:临床上常将WR淋巴瘤与肿瘤混淆。DLBCL是最常见的淋巴瘤类型。仅在CHL中检测到EBER。起源于鼻咽部的淋巴瘤存活率较低。关键词:非霍奇金淋巴瘤，鼻咽，扁桃体，霍奇金淋巴瘤

Objective: Blood culture (BC) is gold standard for diagnosis of fungemia. Contamination of BC is a major problem worldwide, since it may delay actual diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate “contaminant” vials with a prolonged incubation (max 30 days) with antimicrobial supplemented media to observe any mycological growth. Materials and Methods: Routine BCs optained patients of XXX Hospital for a year period were included. Render BC System BC12-8 (Render Biotech Co. Ltd., Shenzhen, China) were used. Contaminated vials were reincubated and conventionally-inoculated weekly for four weeks total. In case of any growth, identifications were done by PhoenixTM 100 system (Becton Dickinson, MA, USA) with cornmeal tween 80 agar (RTA Laboratories, Kocaeli, Turkey). Antifungal susceptibility testing were applied with CLSI disk diffusion method. Results: 3.9% (235 sets and additional 138 vials) of total 6047 BC sets were contaminated. Only one vial from central venous catheter showed fungal growth within the first week of conventional inoculation (>8th day of total incubation). The isolate was identified as Candida guilliermondii complex and susceptible to caspofungin. Latter set of this patient were positive in the 3rd day of incubation. Conclusion: International guidelines recommend

Objective: In the literature reported that perceived social support may have a positive impact on psychological well-being of patients with chronic diseases. However, a brief review of the literature also shows that the number of studies on the relationship between perceived social support and psychological well-being in patients with chronic diseases is limited. This study aims to determine the relationship between perceived social support and psychological well-being in patients with chronic diseases. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 203 inpatients with at least one chronic disease, who received treatment at a community health center between November 2020 and May 2021 in İstanbul. Results: Psychological well-being of the participants was positively correlated with perceived social support. Duration of chronic disease and age of participants were negatively correlated with perceived social support and psychological well-being.

Aim: To examine the effect of nurses' beliefs about hand hygiene on hand hygiene practices. Materials and Methods: This study is in a descriptive and cross-sectional design where data are collected by face-to-face survey. This study was carried out during March–June 2019 with nurses working in a city hospital in Southern Turkey. Results: The mean Hand Hygiene Beliefs Scale-HHBS score was 83.64±9.14 and Hand Hygiene Practices Inventory-HHPE score was 65.88±5.66. A positive, very weak and statistically significant correlation was found between the HHBS and the HHPE scores (r= 0.196; p=0.000). Conclusion: It was found that the HHBS scores were affected only by gender, whereas the HHPE scores were influenced by having children, the unit where the nurses worked, the number of patients in the unit, and their professional satisfaction. There was a positive correlation between the HHBS and HHPE scores. found to be high in the study group. The obesity prejudice was high among those who had a better body perception, a higher socioeconomic status and had a healthy lifestyle.

Objective: Standard duration of one set blood culture (BC) is a maximum of 5-7 days. The aim of this study was to evaluate “culture-negative” vials with a prolonged incubation (max 30 days) time and to observe any mycological growth. Materials and Methods: Routine BCs optained from adult patients of Balıkesir Atatürk City Hospital for a year period were included. Render BC System BC128 (Render Biotech Co. Ltd., Shenzhen, China) were used. Randomly selected vials were re-incubated for additional three weeks by conventional methods. In case of any growth, identifications were done by PhoenixTM 100 system (Becton Dickinson, MA, USA) with cornmeal tween 80 agar (RTA Laboratories, Kocaeli, Turkey). Antifungal susceptibility testing was applied with CLSI disk diffusion method. Results: A total of 6047 BC sets were obtained and randomly chosen 1040+122 negative sets (A and B groups, respectively) were included. In group A, none of them had fungal growth. In B (ongoing empiric antifungal ≤48h), only 2 sets showed significant fungal growth, which were observed in 7±2 days, and all strains were identified as C.glabrata complex and these patients were on empiric fluconazole (200 mg/day). One isolate was susceptible dose dependent, the other one was resistant for fluconazole. Latter sets of these fungemia patients showed positive signals in routine incubation period. Conclusion: Invasive fungal infections are increasingly encountered and isolation capacity and optimization of BCs are crucial. In this study, it was obviously observed that standard incubation period is satisfactory in order to detect almost all fungemia.
目的:一组血培养(BC)的标准时间最长为5-7天。本研究的目的是通过延长孵育时间(最多30天)来评估“培养阴性”小瓶，并观察任何真菌学生长。材料和方法:纳入Balıkesir atatat rk市医院成人患者一年的常规bc。使用Render BC System BC128 (Render Biotech Co. Ltd, Shenzhen, China)。随机选择的小瓶按常规方法再孵育3周。如果有任何生长，用phoenix™100系统(Becton Dickinson, MA, USA)和玉米粉间80琼脂(RTA实验室，Kocaeli，土耳其)进行鉴定。采用CLSI盘片扩散法进行药敏试验。结果:共获得6047个BC组，随机抽取1040+122个阴性组(A组和B组)。A组均无真菌生长。在B组(持续经验性抗真菌≤48h)中，仅有2组真菌明显生长，观察时间为7±2天，所有菌株均鉴定为C.glabrata复合体，并给予经验性氟康唑(200mg /d)治疗。一株对氟康唑有剂量依赖性，另一株对氟康唑有耐药性。这些真菌血症患者的后几组在常规潜伏期显示阳性信号。结论:侵袭性真菌感染日益增多，bc的分离能力和优化至关重要。在本研究中，明显地观察到标准的潜伏期是令人满意的，以检测几乎所有的真菌病。

Results: A total of 6047 BC sets were obtained and randomly chosen 1040+122 negative sets (A and B groups, respectively) were included. In group A, none of them had fungal growth. In B (ongoing empiric antifungal ≤48h), only 2 sets showed significant fungal growth, which were observed in 7±2 days, and all strains were identified as C.glabrata complex and these patients were on empiric fluconazole (200 mg/day). One isolate was susceptible dose dependent, the other one was resistant for fluconazole. Latter sets of these fungemia patients showed positive signals in routine incubation period. Conclusion: Invasive fungal infections are increasingly encountered and isolation capacity and optimization of BCs are crucial. In this study, it was obviously observed that standard incubation period is satisfactory in order to detect almost all fungemia.","PeriodicalId":247163,"journal":{"name":"Balıkesır Health Sciences Journal","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126635827","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}

Amaç: Okul öncesi çocuklarda oyun terapisinin ayrılık kaygısı üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılan ön test-son test kontrol gruplu deneysel bir çalışmadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini, iki ana okulda eğitim gören 3-5 yaş grubu 292 okul öncesi çocuk oluşturmuştur. Power analizine göre hesaplanan örneklem büyüklüğü deney grubunda 30; kontrol grubunda 30 toplam 60 okul öncesi çocuk üzerinde yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında; demografik bilgi formu, yeniden düzenlenen Okul Öncesi Kaygı Ölçeği ve Yuva Çocukları İçin Ayrılma Kaygı Ölçeği (Öğretmen Formu) kullanılmıştır. Deney grubuna altı oturumdan oluşan “Oyun Terapisi Programı” uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Ayrılma kaygı ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasındaki değişim değerlendirildiğinde; deney grubunda olan çocukların eğitim sonrası ayrılık kaygısındaki düşüş kontrol grubuna göre daha fazladır. Yeniden düzenlenen okul öncesi kaygı ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması ve alt maddelerdeki değişim değerlendirildiğinde; deney grubunda olan çocukların eğitim sonrasında meydana gelen ayrılık kaygısındaki düşüş istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p
