Amaç: Dünya Sağlık Örgütü "10-19 yaş grubunu" ergenlik dönemi olarak tanımlamaktadır ve bu dönemde özellikle 16-18 yaş arasında riskli davranışlar daha sık görülmektedir. Sunulan bu çalışmayla; 16-18 yaş grubu lise öğrencilerinin riskli davranışları belirlenerek yapılması planlanan eğitim ve izlem programına temel oluşturması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu araştırma Çorum Endüstri Meslek Lisesi'nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş, çalışmanın yapıldığı tarihler arasında (Eylül-Aralık 2014) öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü 16-18 yaş grubu ergenler (n=790) araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Kişisel Tanıtıcı Form (KTF) ve Ergenlerde Risk Alma Ölçeği (ERAÖ) kullanılmıştır. Veriler uygun istatistiksel yöntemlerle değerlendirilmiştir. p<0.05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan ergenlerin yaş ortalamaları 17,3 ± 0,2 yıl olup, tamamı erkektir. ERAÖ değerlendirmesine göre; ergenlerin %48,5'inin riskli grupta olduğu, ailede ve arkadaşları arasında sigara içenler oldukça risk alma puanlarının arttığı görülmüştür. Ergenlerin yaş, ailede ve arkadaşlarında sigara içme durumu ile ERAÖ puan ortanca düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu görülmüştür (p<0.05). Sonuç: Uygulanan ERAÖ değerlendirmesine göre ergenlerin risk alma puanlarının ürkütücü boyutta yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ergenlere riskli davranışlardan korunmaya yönelik verilen geleneksel-klasik eğitimlerin etkisiz olduğu ortaya çıkmakta, ergenlerin riskli davranışlarını ortadan kaldırmak için alternatif yolların ortaya konulmasının önemi gündeme gelmektedir.
Örneklem grubundaki öğrencilerin Ergenler İçin Ruhsal Sorunlar Tarama Ölçeği ortalamasına göre; %77,1'inin depresyon, %75,0'inin anksiyete bozukluğu, %65,3'ünün psikoz, %96,5'inin dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu ile ilişkili sorunlarının olabileceği belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin Ergenler İçin Ruhsal Sorunlar Tarama Ölçeği ortalamalarına göre; depresyon, anksiyete bozukluğu, kendine zarar verme, psikoz, travma sonrası stres bozukluğu, alkol-uyuşturucu bağımlılığı ve dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu ile ilişkili sorunlarının cinsiyete göre dağılımına ilişkin sonuçlar incelendiğinde; örneklem grubundaki kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre depresyon ve anksiyete bozukluğu ile ilişkili sorunlarının, erkek öğrencilerin de kız öğrencilere göre psikoz, alkol bağımlılığı ve dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu ile ilişkili sorunlarının yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Ergenlerin ilk üç sırada dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu, depresyon ve anksiyete bozukluğu ile ilişkili sorunlarının yüksek olduğu düşünülürse; çocuk ergen ruh sağlığı alanında ulusal politikalar oluşturmanın temel bileşenlerinden birisi bu yaş grubunda ruhsal bozuklukların belirlenmesidir.
Aim: Primary prevention of cervical cancer is gaining importance due to the gradual decrease in the age of first sexual intercourse in Turkey and the increase of sexually transmitted disease risk among adolescents because of multiple sexual partners. If it is thought that the primary prevention related to HPV infection be made by health personnel, the aim of this study is to determine the knowledge of nurses regarding HPV infection and its vaccines and to create the basis for a planned training program about HPV infection and vaccines. Methods: No sample selection was carried out in the study (N=365); all nurses working at the time of the study formed the study sample (n=222). The data were collected using questionnaires. Appropriate methods were used in the evaluation of the data and p<0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results: It was seen that 61.7% of the sample group did not receive education about HPV infections and the HPV vaccine. 33.8% had no experience with the HPV infection and HPV vaccine concepts before and 20.3% had only encountered this concept in school. Furthermore, it was determined that the knowledge level of nurses, who answered the questions regarding HPV infection and HPV vaccine correctly, was vastly different and that this ratio varied between 11.3 % and 89.2%. Conclusion:Based on the data obtained from the study, it was determined that a high number of nurses do not get satisfactory education regarding HPV infection and HPV vaccine. Therefore, training programs should be planned and given to nurses, and within these training sessions, nurses should be taught to meet the needs of individuals and communities and to improve health behaviors.
This study was conducted in order to evaluate sleep quality and perception of diabetes self-management in Turkish patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). This study was conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional study in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. This study was conducted with 61 people in the Diabetic Foot Clinic of the university hospital in Çorum. Patient Introduction Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS) were used as data collection tools. Of the patients included, 82% had a PSQI score 5≥ and the sleep quality was found to be poor. The mean PSQI score was significantly higher and poorer in smokers and those with other diseases/comorbidities (p<0.05). The mean PDSMS score of the patients was found as 22.75 ± 2.03. The mean PDSMS score was found to be statistically significantly higher in patienst with longer duration of diabetes than in patients with shorter duration of diabetes (p<0.05). The poor sleep quality of individuals with diabetic foot ulcers leads to the failure of diabetes management. It is therefore important that health professionals focus on determining the conditions that affect sleep quality in patients with diabetic foot problems.
Introduction: With this study it was aimed to determine the perception of university students regarding organ donation in terms of sociality, education and religion and to make recommendations according to these results and to create the basis for the planned training program regarding this issue. Methods: This study was planned to carry out the study as descriptive and cross-sectional type in Corum/Turkey. No sample selection was made in the study (N=345). Students visiting the university between the dates (15.11.2014-15.01.2015) and wanted to participate as volunteers (n=313) have constituted the sample of the study. Prior to starting the study, the permissions have been obtained. For the statistical analyze during the assessment of obtained findings from the study, the SPSS 15.0 program was used. Significance was evaluated in p<0.05 level. Findings: Analyzing the relationship between students' social, educational and religious perception of organ donation and their thoughts about organ donation "There should be impeding conditions for organ donation in terms of religion." (p<0.01), and the thoughts of students regarding organ donation there is a statistically significant relationship. Conclusion: Young people have an insufficient perception of organ donation in terms of social and educational aspects, whereas they have a sufficient religious perception. Prejudices that cause negative thoughts should be eliminated. Systematic organizations regarding organ transplantation and donation should be carried out and it should be provided that the students take responsibility in this field.
