Beyond Age: Understanding How Mindful Eating and Food Label Reading Shape Generational Differences in Health Outcomes – A Cross-Sectional Study
No full textBackgroundThe increasing prevalence of obesity and diet-related chronic diseases poses a considerable threat to public health. Consequently, understanding generational differences in dietary behaviors has gained growing importance. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of generational cohort on anthropometric indicators and self-rated diet quality (SRDQ), mediated through mindful eating and food label reading attitudes.MethodThis cross-sectional design study involved 2725 participants from Generations X (n = 786), Y (n = 933), and Z (n = 1006) living in Istanbul, T & uuml;rkiye. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-hip ratio (WHR), were recorded. Data on SRDQ were collected, alongside responses to the Mindful Eating Questionnaire and the Food Label Reading Attitude Scale. Descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and chi-square tests were applied to the data. The direct and indirect effects of generation groups were analyzed using structural equation modeling.ResultsIncreasing mindful eating scores were associated with higher label reading attitude and SRDQ scores, while they were related to lower anthropometric risk indicators. Higher label reading attitudes showed an association with reduced WHR and increased SRDQ. Generation Z participants reported significantly lower scores for mindful eating, label reading attitude, anthropometric measures, and SRDQ than Generation X participants. Lower mindful eating scores were related to increased BMI among Generation Z, whereas lower label reading attitude scores were positively associated with WC and WHR. Furthermore, poor mindful eating and label reading attitudes and the combined effects of low mindful eating and label reading attitudes were linked to lower SRDQ.ConclusionPoor mindful eating and label reading attitudes in Generation Z may threaten long-term health sustainability and increase the risk of developing chronic diseases. Combining generation-specific public health strategies with interventions aimed at improving nutritional literacy and mindful eating habits from an early age could enhance individual and societal health outcomes
Evaluation of the Relationship Between Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours and Health Literacy in Individuals Aged 65 Years and Over with Hypertension
Get PDFBu tez çalışması 65 yaş ve üzeri hipertansiyonu olan bireylerde sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ile sağlık okuryazarlığı ilişkisine etkisini değerlendirmek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı desendedir. İstanbul ili Kadıköy ilçesinde bulunan özel bir hastanede Eylül 2024- Kasım 2024 tarihleri arasında 126 hipertansiyon hastası ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Ölçeği 2 ve Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği aracılığı ile yüz yüze görüşülerek toplanmıştır. Çalışma verileri değerlendirilirken bağımsız gruplar için ki kare testi, varyans analizi, ortalama standart sapma incelenmiş p<0,05 istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre 65 yaş ve üzeri hipertansiyon hastalarının sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ile sağlık okuryazarlığı arasında anlamlı negatif yönde ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Sağlık okuryazarlığı, bireylerin sağlık bilgilerini anlama, yorumlama ve bu bilgileri sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarına dönüştürmediğini ifade eder. Yetersiz sağlık okuryazarlığı, bireylerin sağlık hizmetlerine erişimini zorlaştırabilir ve kronik hastalıkların yönetimini olumsuz etkileyebilir. Bu nedenle, sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ile sağlık okuryazarlığının artırılmasını sağlamak amacıyla hemşirelerin danışmanlık rolünün kullanılması önerilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Hipertansiyon, sağlık okuryazarlığı, sağlıklı yaşam tarzı, yaşlanmaThis thesis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and health literacy in individuals aged 65 and over with hypertension. The research is designed as a descriptive and correlational study. It was carried out with 126 patients with hypertension between September-November 2024 in a private hospital located in Kadıköy, Istanbul. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the Personal Information Form, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II (HLB-II), and Health Literacy Scale. While evaluating the study data, chi-square test for independent groups, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and mean and standard deviation values were analyzed. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. According to the results obtained from the study, a statistically significant negative relationship was found between healthy lifestyle behaviors and health literacy in individuals aged 65 and over with hypertension. Health literacy refers to the ability of individuals to understand, interpret, and transform health-related information into healthy lifestyle behaviors. Inadequate health literacy may hinder individuals' access to health services and negatively affect the management of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses utilize their counseling role to improve both healthy lifestyle behaviors and health literacy levels.

Avrupa Birliği ve Türkiye’de Sivil Toplumun Son On Yılı: Sivil Alanın Daralması Tartışmalarına Karşılaştırmalı Bir Bakış
No full textAdalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP), Avrupa Birliği'ne (AB) üyelik hedefi doğrultusunda 2002 yılında ilk kez iktidara geldiğinde reform, demokratikleşme ve Avrupalılaşma sürecine odaklanmıştır. Türkiye'de sivil toplumun daha da gelişmesi, Kopenhag Siyasi Kriterlerinin yerine getirilmesinde çok önemli bir rol oynamaya başlamıştır. Bu reform süreci 2005 yılında yavaşlamış ve Türkiye 2011 yılında ‘Avrupalılaşmama’ olarak adlandırılan yeni bir döneme girmiştir. AKP’nin AB üyelik vizyonundan kademeli olarak uzaklaşması ve genel demokratik gerileme, sivil alanın daralmasının arkasındaki ana nedenler olarak kabul edilmektedir. Ancak sivil toplumun mevcut sorunlarını açıklamada yapısal ve bağlamsal yerel faktörlere odaklanan savlar, resmin bir bölümüne ışık tutmaktadır. Sivil toplumun AB içinde karşı karşıya kaldığı sorunların, özellikle de demokratik gerilemenin bir sonucu olarak sivil alanın dünya genelinde daralmasının da altı çizilmelidir. Böyle bir bakış açısı, yalnızca karşılaştırmalı analiz için bir temel sağlamakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda AB'nin Türkiye’deki sivil toplumun üzerindeki etkisini sınırlayan daha geniş dinamiklerinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına da yardımcı olur
The Effects Of<i> Panax</I><i> Ginseng</I> on Serum Oxidative Stress Following Bisphenol a Exposure
No full textObjective: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a toxic compound that causes oxidative stress by disrupting antioxidant enzymes and promoting tissue lipid peroxidation. This study aimed to examine the impacts of BPA on serum oxidative stress in rats and to detect the antioxidant feature of Panax ginseng (PxG) in reducing BPA-induced oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: Wistar Albino rats (250-300 g) were divided into control, control + PxG, BPA, and BPA + PxG groups. 50 mg/kg BPA and 100 mg/g PxG were given for six weeks. Serum total antioxidant and oxidant status, lipid peroxidation, and glutathione levels were determined. Results: BPA administration increased total oxidant status and lipid peroxidation, while PxG administration to the BPA group decreased these parameters. PxG also increased total antioxidant status and glutathione levels compared to the BPA group. Conclusion: BPA was seen to cause an increase in oxidative parameters and PxG administration to restore the oxidative stress that was generated after BPA exposure, suggesting that this may help to prevent the adverse effects caused by BPA exposure.Marmara University Scientific Research Projects Unit [TYL-2024-11206]Financial Disclosure: This study was funded by a grant from the Marmara University Scientific Research Projects Unit (TYL-2024-11206

No full textAim: This study aimed to examine whether there is a relationship between turnover intention and compulsory citizenship behavior among nurses working in a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Method: The data of this descriptive and relationship-seeking study were collected with the participation of 191 nurses working in a training and research hospital in İstanbul between December 2016 and February 2017. Research data was collected through a questionnaire aimed at learning participants' personal information, Turnover Intention Scale and Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale. Data was analyzed on a computer. Descriptive statistics, parametric and non-parametric comparison analyze and Pearson correlation analyzes were performed. Results: Point averages of the nurses between “Turnover Intention Scale” and “Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale” were 2.90 (SD=1.11) and 3.42 (SD=0.90) respectively. The correlation coefficient for the relationship between the intention to quit the job and compulsory citizenship behavior was found to be r=0.315 (p<0.001). Conclusion: It has been determined that nurses have the intention to leave the job below the medium level, they exhibit compulsory citizenship behavior at the above medium level, and there is a positive, medium strength and very significant linear relationship between the intention to leave the job and the compulsory citizenship behaviour. © 2024 The Authors

Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Occupational Therapists in Turkey: a Cross-Sectional Study
No full textOzata Degerli, Medine Nur/0000-0003-4776-3892Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are a common cause of absentism and work disability. As work-related musculoskeletal disorders represent an increasingly important issue for occupational therapists, this study determined musculoskeletal disorders among occupational therapists in Turkey. A total of 238 occupational therapists participated and completed the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. As a result, 73.1% of participants reported experiencing neck pain and 72.3% reported experiencing low back pain at 12 months. Statistically significant differences were found between participants with and without work-related musculoskeletal disorders regarding gender, experience, workplace type, treatment, and daily working hours (p < 0.05). Occupational therapists may experience work-related musculoskeletal disorders due to not practicing proper body mechanics or non-provision of transferring equipment.Emerging Sources Citation Inde
Reliability of the Icd-11 Personality Disorder Severity Ratings and Diagnosis
No full textGandur, Tarik/0000-0003-0029-9076; turgut, mirac neslihan/0000-0002-0176-6839The present study aimed to investigate the interrater reliability of the dichotomous and dimensional personality disorder (PD) diagnoses based on the overall severity assessment on a rating form consisting of 18 anchored items encompassing diagnostic requirements of the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11). We also aimed to examine the extent of consistency within the diagnostic requirements grouped under the domains of self- and interpersonal functioning, specific manifestations of personality dysfunction, and distress and impairment in psychosocial functioning. Our data involved a total of 184 inter-ratings of 46 consenting patients by the same set of four clinicians. The chance-corrected agreement levels were estimated at intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.89 for the overall severity composite, ICC = 0.83 for the dimensional PD diagnosis and Fleiss' kappa = 0.77 for the dichotomous PD diagnosis. Internal consistency analysis of the overall severity composite and the domain composites revealed Cronbach's alpha coefficients approaching or exceeding 0.90 level. Our findings suggest that the diagnostic requirements listed in the ICD-11 and related documents for the severity determination in PD compose an internally consistent set. With the guidance of a rating form comprised of anchored items covering this set, competency-level clinicians are likely to perform reliable evaluations of the severity of personality disturbance, and dimensional and dichotomous PD diagnoses. The development of semi-structured interviews that would further facilitate the task of inspecting and rating each diagnostic requirement reliably will possibly enhance the implementation of the ICD-11 classification for PD around the world.Social Science Citation Inde
Effect of Sexual Quality of Life on Self-Management Perceptions of Women With Type 2 Diabetes
No full textBackground:The quality of sexual life of women with type 2 diabetes has an impact on their self-management perceptions.Aim:To evaluate the effect of quality of sexual life on self-care perceptions of women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Material and Methods:It was an online descriptive study of 127 women with type 2 DM. The questionnaire consisted of a patient information form, sexual quality of life scale-female, and diabetes self-management perception scale.Results:There was a significant relationship between diabetes self-management perception and sexual quality of life (P = 0.000). The individuals' diabetes self-management perception scores differed significantly according to their age (F = 3.12; P = 0.047), and the sexual quality of life scores differed significantly according to their treatment type (F = 4.01; P = 0.020).Conclusion:There is a relationship between quality of sexual life and self-management perceptions of women with type 2 DM. As the quality of sexual life increases, diabetes self-management perceptions increase. Age affects diabetes self-management perception, and the type of treatment used by individuals also affects their quality of sexual life.Thank you to all patients who participated in the study.Science Citation Index Expande
