Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a lockdown period. Confinement periods have been related to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Our study aimed to determine weight change, changes in eating and exercise habits, the presence of depression and anxiety, and diabetes mellitus (DM) status in a cohort of patients with obesity. Methods: The study was undertaken in nine centers of Collaborative Obesity Management (COM) of the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) in Turkey. An e-survey about weight change, eating habits, physical activity status, DM status, depression, and anxiety was completed by patients. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) score was used to determine physical activity in terms of metabolic equivalents (METs). A healthy nutrition coefficient was calculated from the different categories of food consumption. The Patient Health Questionaire (PHQ-9) and General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) were used for determining depression and anxiety, respectively. Results: Four hundred twenty-two patients (age 45±12.7 years, W/M=350/72) were included. The healthy nutrition coefficient before the pandemic was 38.9±6.2 and decreased to 38.1±6.4 during the pandemic (p<0.001). Two hundred twenty-nine (54.8%) patients gained weight, 54 (12.9%) were weight neutral, and 135 (32.3%) lost weight. Patients in the weight loss group had higher MET scores and higher healthy nutrition coefficients compared with the weight gain and weight-neutral groups (p<0.001). The PHQ and GAD scores were not different between the groups. Percent weight loss was related to healthy nutrition coefficient〈CI: 0.884 (0.821-0.951), p=0.001〉 and MET categories 〈CI: 0.408 (0.222-0.748), p=0.004〉. One hundred seventy patients had DM. Considering glycemic control, only 12 (8.4%) had fasting blood glucose <100 mg/dL and 36 (25.2%) had postprandial BG <160 mg/dL. When patients with and without DM were compared in terms of dietary compliance, MET category, weight loss status, PHQ scores, and GAD scores, only MET categories were different; 29 (11.7%) of patients in the nondiabetic group were in the highly active group compared with 5 (2.9%) in the diabetic group. Conclusion: The COVID-19 lockdown resulted in weight gain in about half of our patients, which was related to changes in physical activity and eating habits. Patients with DM who had moderate glycemic control were similar to the general population in terms of weight loss but were less active.
ABS TRACT ÖZ Materials and Methods:Questionnaire forms designed on the subject of infant care and nutrition were given to mothers right after delivery. Before being discharged they were informed by the doctor and breastfeeding nurse about nutrition, infant care, and the most common mistakes. These forms were reapplied on the 15 th and 30 th days in neonatal polyclinic controls and the changes were evaluated. The correct information was repeated to the mothers who were detected to have misinformation and wrong attitudes in the evaluations in each form application period. Results: A total of 100 mothers and their infants were included in the study. No difference was determined in the nutrition rates of infants with food other than breast milk on the first day, 15 th and 30 th days. However, the breastfeeding rates obtained were higher on the 30 th day than on the 15 th , with an interval of two hours, and in general breastfeeding rates were low on the 15 th and 30 th days. The rates of bathing the infants with and without a bathtub net were determined to be high on the 15 th and 30 th days. The change in the infants' sleeping positions, the place of sleep, and the presence of rails/guards around the crib on the 15 th and 30 th days were not found to be significant compared to the 1 st day. There was a significant increase in the umbilical care rates on the 15 th and 30 th days. The increase in washing the clothes of the infants with soap powder, and the decrease in swaddling after the education were found to be significant. Furthermore, it was determined that the mothers received infant care information more frequently from the healthcare organisation
Türkiye’de Suriyeli göçmenlerin suçla ilişkilendirilmesi, önemli bir sorunsal olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, İçişleri Bakanlığı Göç İdaresi Başkanlığı’nın Aralık 2021 verilerine göre, kayıtlı geçici koruma altındaki Suriyeli göçmenlerin il nüfusuna oranının %75,59 yani yerli nüfusa oranla en fazla olduğu Kilis’te, görev yapan kamu personelinin Suriyelileri suç ile ilişkilendirme algısı inceleme konusu yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Kilis İl Emniyet Müdürlüğü, İl Jandarma Komutanlığı, Adli Tıp, Denetimli Serbestlik Müdürlüğü, İl Göç Müdürlüğü ve Aile Sosyal Politikalar İl Müdürlüğü (ŞÖNİM)’den uzman personelden örneklem grubu seçilmiştir. Sayılan kurumlardan 18 farklı görev ve pozisyondaki personel ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Görüşmelerde, nitel veri toplama tekniklerinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme sorularından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, Suriyelilerin suç ile ilişkili olduğu algısı yalnızca yerel halk tarafından değil mesleki nedenlerle Suriyeliler ile yakın ilişki içinde olan emniyet ve jandarma kolluk görevlileri dışındaki kamu personeli tarafından da geliştirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Emniyet ve jandarma kolluk personeli suç ile ilgili istatistiklere doğrudan erişebilmektedir. Başka bir ifadeyle doğrudan Suriyeli göçmen ve suç verileri hakkında bilgi sahibi olmaktadır. Bu da personelin hatalı bir algı geliştirmesini engellemektedir. Bu bağlamda, özellikle kamu personelinin eldeki verileri de içeren hizmet içi eğitimlerden geçirilmesi gerekmektedir.
Türkiye’deki uluslararası göç politikası, ulusal ve uluslararası gelişmeler ışığında yaşanan siyasal, ekonomik ve sosyal dönüşümlerden etkilenerek yeniden yapılanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, Türkiye’nin, uluslararası göç politikasının tarihsel süreç içinde ele alınarak irdelenmesi ve yaşanan dönüşüm ışığında bu göç politikasındaki dönemsel değişimlerin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmaktadır. Yazın taraması ve mevzuat okuması tekniğiyle elde edilen veriler ışığında Türkiye’nin uluslararası göç politikası, yasal, kurumsal, sosyo-kültürel, iskân ve ekonomik boyutlar dikkate alınarak bütüncül ve betimleyici bir biçimde çözümlenmiştir.
