Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine whether there was a change in the level of knowledge about the disease without education during the treatment and the effect of health education on the level of knowledge of the patients about the disease in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis. Method: The research was of intervention type and was carried out in Şanlıurfa Cutaneous Leishmanias Diagnosis and Treatment Center. The study was completed with a total of 102 people, 51 of whom were in the intervention group and 51 in the control group. Both groups were pretested at the time of the first application. The intervention group was then given training, and the level of knowledge and awareness was re-measured one month later. No training was given to the control group, and after one month of treatment, the level of knowledge and awareness was re-measured in order to determine whether the level of knowledge changed during the treatment. Results: The mean knowledge score of the control group was 3.88±1.78 before the treatment and 4.96±1.46 after the treatment. The mean knowledge score of the intervention group was 3.33±1.26 before the treatment and 6.25±1.29 after the treatment. Both the post-treatment knowledge level compared to the pre-treatment and the intervention group knowledge level were higher than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Cutaneous leishmaniasis patients generally consist of less educated and low-income individuals. Along with the treatment, patients should be supported by providing qualified counseling.
Amaç: Nonproliferatif diyabetik retinopatide ve Proliferatif diyabetik retinopatide optik sinir elastisitesini ve santral retinal arter rezistif indeks değerlerini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Materyal ve Metod: Nonproliferatif diyabetik retinopatili ve Proliferatif diyabetik retinopatili 31 olgunun optik sinir sertlik derecesi Shear-Wave Elastografi tekniğiyle değerlendirildi. Eş zamanlı olarak Renkli Doppler Ultrasonografi yöntemiyle santral retinal arterin rezistif indeks değerleri ölçülerek, kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Retinopatisi olan hastalar, retinopatisi olmayan diyabetik hastalar ve sağlıklı gönüllüler ile karşılaştırıldığında optik sinir Shear-Wave Elastografi değerleri anlamlı olarak yüksek izlendi(p<0.05). Santral retinal arter rezistif indeks değerleri retinopatisi olan hastalarda olmayanlara göre anlamlı olarak yüksek izlendi(p<0,05). Retinopatisi olmayanlar için Rİ değerleri 0,57±0,88 ve Retinopatisi olanlarda ise 0,67±0,53 olarak ölçüldü. Sonuç: Diyabetik retinopatinin etyopatogenezi hala tartışmalıdır. Nonproliferatif diyabetik retinopatide ve Proliferatif diyabetik retinopatide Shear-Wave Elastografi ile optik sinirin sertlik derecesinde ve Renkli Doppler Ultrasonografi incelemede oküler kan akım parametrelerinde anlamlı değişiklikler olabilmektedir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
