No full textBu çalışma, okul çağındaki çocuklarda ebeveynlik uygulamaları ile uyku alışkanlıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Haziran - Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında 6-12 yaş arası çocuğu olan ebeveynlerle kesitsel, tanımlayıcı bir çalışma gerçekleştirildi. Araştırma grubu 352 ebeveynden oluşmuştur. Araştırma verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Ebeveynlik Uygulamaları Ölçeği ve Çocuk Uyku Alışkanlıkları Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ebeveynlerin yaş ortalaması 35.95±5.99 olup %71.9'u kadındır. Çocukların yaş ortalaması 8.61±2.07 olup, %51.4'ü kızdır. Ebeveynler, Ebeveynlik Uygulamaları Ölçeği 'den toplam 164.98±16.03 puan, Çocuk Uyku Alışkanlıkları Ölçeği'den ise 44.64±7.55 puan aldı. Ebeveynlik Uygulamaları ile Çocukların Uyku Alışkanlıkları puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif bir ilişki vardı (r:-0.409; p<0.01). Olumsuz ebeveynlik uygulamaları arttıkça çocukların uyku sorunları da arttı. Hemşireler ebeveynleri olumlu ve olumsuz ebeveynlik uygulamalarının çocukların uyku alışkanlıklarına etkileri konusunda eğitmelidir.ABSTRACT This study was conducted to examine the relationship between parenting practices and sleep habits in school-age children. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted between June - August 2021, with parents who have children 6–12 years old. The research group consisted of 352 parents. The study data was collected using a Personal Information Form, the Parenting Practices Scale, and the Children's Sleep Habits Scale. The average age of the parents was 35.95±5.99, and 71.9% were female. The average age of the children was 8.61±2.07, and 51.4% were girls. Parents scored a total of 164.98±16.03 points from the Parenting Practices Scale and 44.64±7.55 points from the Children's Sleep Habits Scale. A statistically significant, and negative correlation existed between the scores for the Parenting Practices and the Children's Sleep Habits (r:-0.409; p<0.01). As negative parenting practices increased, children's sleep problems increased. Nurses should educate parents regarding positive and negative parenting practices and their effects on children’s sleep habits
Baby-Led Weaning and Influencing Factors: a Descriptive Study
No full textObjective: This study aimed to examine the demographic factors affecting baby-led weaning (BLW). Methods: The study was of a descriptive and cross-sectional type to examine the factors affecting BLW between March and May 2024. The study population consisted of parents registered in a Family Health Center in Türkiye. Parents who gave written and verbal consent to participate in the study were included in the study (n = 137). Results: The mean BLWS scores of mothers and fathers were 49.96 ± 6.67 and 46.71 ± 6.58, respectively. Parents’ and babies diet had a statistically significant effect on BLWS total score (Parents: F= 4.564, P = .035; Babies’ diet: F= 2.47, P = .028). There is a positive and statistically significant relationship between BLWS score and the age, height, and weight of the child (r = 0.307, r = 0.254, r = 0.217, respectively). Conclusion: The BLW levels of both mothers and fathers are above the mean. Whether the parent is a mother or a father and the baby’s diet are important determinants of BLW. The extent to which the baby sits with the family at meals, the degree of independence in eating, and the total BLW levels of the parents are affected by the age, height, and weight of the children
Evaluation of stress patterns in teeth with endodontic treatment and periapical lesions as abutments for fixed prosthesis : a finite element analysis study
No full textBACKGROUND: Examining stress distributions in abutment teeth with periapical lesions is essential for understanding their biomechanical impact on dental structures and tissues. This study uses finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate these stress patterns under occlusal forces, aiming to enhance treatment strategies and prosthetic designs. METHODS: Three FEA models were created: a healthy mandibular premolar (Model 1), a premolar with a single crown and a lesion repaired using a fiber-post (Model 2), and 3) a premolar with a lesion repaired using fiber-post to support a four-member bridge (Model 3). A 300 N occlusal static stress was given to each model at a 45° angle to the long axis of the tooth, namely at the lingual inclination of the buccal-cusp. Deformation behaviour and maximum equivalent stress distributions were simulated on the all components, including the bony structure for each model. RESULTS: The study showed a reduction in equivalent stress levels in trabecular and cortical bone, crown, cementum, and PDL under occlusal force, from Model 1 to Model 3. The Von Mises yield criteria values of the tooth models differed depending on the prosthetic restorations, with the highest value seen in Model 2 (133.87 MPa). Similar locations in all models showed concentrated equivalent stresses for all components. The periapical lesion area exhibited relatively low stress values for Models 2 and 3, at 0.061 MPa and 0.039 MPa, respectively. The largest level of stress was seen in the cervicobuccal areas of the tooth in all models. CONCLUSION: Prosthetic restorations on teeth with periapical lesions resulted in varying stress and biomechanical responses in the tooth and surrounding bone tissue. These teeth can serve as abutments in a four-unit bridge when subjected to optimal occlusal stresses, based on the findings
Mandala coloring reduces anxiety and pain in circumcised children: A randomized controlled trial
No full textBackground: Boys often experience significant fear and anxiety before the circumcision procedure, and postoperative pain is linked to increased fear and anxiety in children.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mandala coloring on fear, anxiety, emotional symptoms and postoperative pain of circumcised children.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the pediatric clinic of a state hospital in eastern Turkey. Children were divided into two groups using a computer program: Group 1 (control) included children with no intervention (n = 40), and Group 2 (mandala coloring) included children who received mandala coloring (n = 38). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to assess the normality of the data, the chi-squared test to compare categorical variables between groups, the paired samples t-test for within-group comparisons, the independent samples t-test for between-group comparisons, and mixed model repeated measures ANOVA (rANOVA) to evaluate the temporal changes in pain and anxiety scores across groups.
Findings: Children's fear, anxiety, emotional symptom, and postoperative pain scores were similar in all groups before the nursing intervention, and the fear, anxiety, and emotional symptom scores of the mandala painting intervention group were statistically lower than the control group after the nur csing intervention. The pain scores of the children in the mandala coloring group were lower than the control group after surgery.
Conclusion: Mandala coloring intervention can be used to reduce emotional symptoms, fear, anxiety and postoperative pain in children aged 6-12 years undergoing circumcision.4054100
Turkish version of the Preschool Children’s Nutrition Screening Tool (NutriSTEP®): a validity and reliability study
No full textAbstract: Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Preschool Children’s Nutrition Screening Tool (NutriSTEP®), which is used to determine the nutritional status of children in the preschool period. Subject/Methods: The sample of the study consists of 333 parents with children aged 3–5 years old living in Turkey, who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study and answered the Turkish NutriSTEP® form online. The forward and backward translation method was applied for the language validity of the Turkish form. Expert opinion was sought for content validity. Factor analyzes were applied to determine the construct validity of the Turkish form. Original NutriSTEP® and Iran NutriSTEP® were evaluated to assess cut-points. To evaluate the reliability of the Turkish version, the test–retest method was used. Results: As a result of expert opinion, the Content Validity Index was found to be 0.97. According to exploratory factor analysis, unlike the original NutriSTEP®, five sub-dimensions were obtained and the 13th question with a factor load of less than 0.30 was removed. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, it was shown that the scale was suitable for Turkish society. There were positive, high and statistically significant correlations between the NutriSTEP® scale test–retest scores (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The Turkish NutriSTEP® questionnaire is both valid and reliable for the screening of nutrition risk in preschool children of the Turkish population. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited
Relationship between tinnitus loudness level and internal jugular venous flow rate measured by coloured Doppler ultrasonography in patients with a high jugular bulb
No full textThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between tinnitus loudness level (TLL) and internal jugular venous flow rate (IJVFR) in tinnitus patients with a unilateral high jugular bulb detected by temporal bone high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The study group consisted of 24 adult patients (13 male, 11 female) with a unilateral high jugular bulb. One ear suffered from tinnitus with a high jugular bulb was included into the study group. The ears without tinnitus and no high jugular bulb on temporal bone HRCT comprised the control group. All patients were evaluated with a history and physical and otolaryngologic examinations, and, using a questionnaire, TLLs were detected. The patency and flow rates in the internal jugular veins were measured by right and left internal jugular venous Doppler ultrasonography. The TLLs were "very quiet" in 1 (4.1%) patient, "intermediate loud" in 17 (70.9%) patients, and "very loud" in 6 (25.0%) patients. IJVFRs were not different in the study and control groups. In the study group, IJVFRs were not correlated with age. There was no relationship among TLLs and IJVFRs, dominance, dehiscence, and bony septum thickness between the high jugular bulb and the middle ear. TLLs were not affected by IJVFRs, dominance, dehiscence, and bony septum thickness in patients with a high jugular bulb. More detailed studies should be undertaken to determine the reason for the different TLLs in patients with a high jugular bulb
The follow-up of endoscopic sinus surgery's results with computed tomography
No full textBu çalışmada; endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi (ESC) öncesi ve sonrası bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) çekilerek cerrahi başarının objektif olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kronik rinosinüzit nedeniyle 1998-2000 yılları arasında ESC yapılan 98 hastadan preoperatif ve postoperatif BT’si çekilebilen 52 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Maksiller ve etmoid hücre patolojilerinde %92 düzelme saptanırken, frontal sinüs patolojilerinde bu oran %27 olarak bulunmuştur. ESC yapılan hastaların postoperatif dönemdeki takiplerinde gerek ameliyatın başarısının değerlendirilmesi gerekse rekürrenslerin erken tanısı için klinik ve endoskopik muayenenin yanında BT kontrolünün de takipte yararlı olacağı kanısındayız.The aim of this study is to evaluate of surgery satisfaction, before and after endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS) with computed tomography(CT). 52 of 98 patients who had chronic rhinosinusitis, could be examined with preoperative and postoperative CT scan, have been added to this project. 92% cure of the pathologic maxiller and etmoid cell diseases was observed, but this ratio was 27% for frontal sinus pathologies. We consider that CT is also useful with clinical and endoscopic diagnosis for whether evaluation of surgery satisfaction or early diagnosis of recurrence in postoperative follow-up of patients with ESS
Regional disparities in turkey: A socio-economic perspective
No full textEconomic development, for any country, is one of the most important objectives to be achieved. However, development cannot be realized in all regions and provinces of a county at the same time and speed. Turkey also struggles against a persistent economic development problem among regions in east-west and coast-inland for many years. This study aims to analyze the regional inequalities in Turkey under the scope of economic, demographic and social indicators from 2007 to the latest data. The results indicate that TR-10 Istanbul is the engine region of Turkey in terms of industrialization and development with the highest contribution (31%) based on service and industry sectors, to the gross value added. Other industrialized regions are the Aegean region where localization economies mainly dominated and the East Marmara and TR51-Ankara regions where urbanization economies operated in. Agricultural activities heavily concentrated in Aegean, Antalya, Konya and Şanlıurfa regions. In these regions, participation in the labour market is also very high. However, the highest income inequality and poverty is also found in TR10, TR62 and TR21 regions. The less developed region is the Southeast Anatolian region in terms of low income, education, health and high unemployment, young population and immigration rates. © 2020 The Author.
