Background: Many students who begin university at risky periods for OCD development cannot meet the new challenges successfully. They often seek help and apply to the university health center for psychiatric distress. We aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at students of the Cukurova University in this cross sectional study.
ÖzetAmaç: Sağlık açısından riskli davranışlar genellikle adolesan dö-nemde edinilmekte, sonuçları erişkin döneme yansıyarak, bu dönemde mortalite ve morbidite oranlarında önemli artışlara neden olmaktadır.Bu araştırmada, üniversiteye devam eden gençlerin sigara, alkol ve bağımlılık yapıcı madde kullanımı, cinsel yaşam, kişisel güvenlik ve şiddete ilişkin bazı riskli davranışlarının saptanması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma, Çukurova Üniversitesi, merkez yerleşkesinde Kasım-Aralık 2015 tarihinde yürütülmüş tanımlayıcı tipte bir araştırmadır. Yazılı onamları alınan üniversite öğrencilerine demografik verileri sorgulayan soruların bulunduğu "Bilgi Formu" ve "Riskli Davranışlar Ölçeği-Üniversite Formu" uygulanmıştır. Riskli davranışlar ölçeği 60 maddelik likert tipi bir ölçektir. Antisosyal davranışlar, alkol kullanımı, sigara kullanımı, madde kullanımı, beslenme alışkanlıkları, intihar eğilimi, okul terki olmak üzere 7 bölümden oluşmaktadır. Bö-lümlerden alının puan artıkça risk artmaktadır. Veriler SPSS 20 paket programında değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 184 öğrencinin 105'i (%57) kadın, 79'u (%42,9) erkek öğrencidir. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20,21±1,91 (min:18, max: 39)'tır. Araştırmamızda üniversite eğitimi alan erkeklerin antisosyal davranışlar, sigara kullanımı, madde kullanımı, okul terki bö-lümlerinden aldıkları puanlar üniversite eğitimi alan kadınlardan daha yüksek bulunmuştur ve bu farklılık da istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p≤0,05). Çalışmamızda alkol kullanımı arkadaşlarıyla birlikte kalanlarda, aile yanı ve devlet yurdunda kalanlara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur, sigara kullanımı ise arkadaşları ile birlikte kalanlarda, aileleri ile birlikte kalanlardan daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p≤0,05).Sonuç: Çalışmamızda cinsiyet ve kişilerin yaşadıkları yer riskli davranışlarını etkileyen önemli belirleyicilerdendir. Gelenekleri de kapsayan farklı gerekçelerden kaynaklanan aile yanında beraber yaşama durumunun olduğu ülkemizde ailelerinden ayrılan gençler birbirlerinden etkilenmektedir. Gençleri hep beraber bulunduğu üniversite ortamlarında riskli davranış-lardan korumaya yönelik etkinliklere ağırlık verilmeli, riskli davranışlardan korunmaları için gerekli yaşam becerilerini kazanmaları sağlanmalıdır.Sonuç olarak gençlerin geleceğe yönelik olarak riskli davranışla-rının anlaşılması ve önlenmesine yönelik üniversitelerde danışma birimleri kurulmalı, bu birimlerde uzmanlar tarafından eğitim toplantıları, grup oturumları düzenlenmeli ve gençler doğru yönlendirilmelidir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Riskli davranışlar; Genç; Üniversite. AbstractObjective: Risky health behaviors are usually acquired during adolescence, but their effects are reflected in adulthood, causing significant increases in mortality and morbidity rates.This study aims to examine risky behaviors among college students concerning the use of tobacco, alcohol and addictive substances, sexuality, personal safety, and violence.Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive study conducted in the main campus of Çukurova University in...
Influenza pandemics have occurred intermittently throughout the 20th century and killed millions of people worldwide. It is expected that influenza pandemics will continue to occur in the near future. Huge number of deaths and cases is the most troublesome aspect of the influenza pandemics, but the other important trouble is the economic impact of the influenza pandemics to the countries. In this study, we try to detect the cost of a possible influenza pandemic under different scenarios and attack rates. We include the vaccination and antiviral treatment cost for direct cost and we add the work absenteeism cost to the calculations for indirect cost of influenza pandemics. As a case study, we calculate the economic impact of pandemic influenza for Turkey under three different scenarios and three different attack rates. Our optimistic estimation shows that the economic impact of pandemic influenza will be between 1.364 billion dollars and 2.687 billions dollars to Turkish economy depending on the vaccination strategies.
Objective. The concept of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) is important for both the prevention and progress of psychiatric diseases. In the literature, we are aware that there are a few studies on HRQOL among patients with conversion disorder with seizure. Our aim is to measure the HRQOL in Turkey among patients with conversion disorder with seizure and to compare the quality of life of this study group to a healthy control group and to different types of epileptic patient groups. Methods. A total of 330 subjects was included in this study; 102 patients were included in the conversion disorder group, 121 patients were included in the epileptic group and 93 subjects were included in the healthy control group. WHOQOL-100 scale and Trait Anxiety Inventory (TAI) were administered to these groups. Results. HRQOL for the patients with conversion disorder was worse than the control group except for the environment and social relations domains. The generalized epilepsy patients had better physical and psychological health, compared with the patients with conversion disorder. Compared with the partial epilepsy group, HRQOL for the patients with conversion disorder was better in psychological, environmental, social relationship domains. Conclusion. Considering these disorders, patients with conversion disorder need long-term psychiatric treatment. Carrying out this study in our country will be an advantage for the cross-cultural studies which will be undertaken out in the future.
The aim of this study is to examine the progress of the worldwide pandemic Covid-19. As authors, we have decided to analyze the situation of COVID-19 on Mediterranean island with accurate data. For this purpose, a mathematical model is constructed and proposed by dividing the whole population into sensible and suitable compartments. The study captures the dates February 01 till May 15, 2021. For the control of the spread of disease, vaccination and infection rates are compared and calculated. During calculations and comparison, MatLab software is used. All of the data that are used are taken from the Ministry of Health. The effect of parameters is examined with sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, with this analysis, values of parameters are obtained. Afterwards, by using the constructed model, the effect of vaccine on infected individuals is analyzed separately. As a result, it is concluded that the studied part of the island is late for the control of the disease via vaccine. This can be explained by two main reasons; vaccinating the people that are not in mobility most of the time (aged people and people with chronic diseases) and getting the vaccine late. Hence, the results showed that this rate and distribution of vaccines would not be enough to control the pandemic on the island.
