Comparison of the Effects of Nasopharyngeal Swab Methods on Anxiety Score During COVID-19 PCR Test
No full textB-ENTObjective: Coronavirus disease-19 pandemic affected the whole world in 2020 and so far caused nearly 2 million deaths. The most commonly used method in the diagnosis of coronavirus disease-19 is to take swabs from specific areas in the upper respiratory tract, especially the nasopharynx. In this article, it was aimed to compare the effects of transoral/transnasal nasopharyngeal swab methods on anxiety score before and after the procedure. Methods: This study was designed as a prospective randomized clinical trial. Hundred and four volunteers between the ages of 18-65 were included in the study, and volunteers were divided into 2 groups. Transoral method was applied to group-1 and transnasal method was applied to group-2. Visual Analog Scale scoring was performed to measure the anxiety/pain/general discomfort levels of the participants before and after the procedure. Results: In this study, 50 volunteers from the transoral group and the rest 54 volunteers from the transnasal group, a total of 104 individuals were included. Before the procedure, no statistically significant difference in anxiety levels was observed between the groups. However, anxiety, pain, and general discomfort levels during the procedure were found to be lower in group 1. Conclusion: In the light of the results of our trial, we suggest that the transoral nasopharyngeal swab method can be a better alternative in selected patient groups. The prime advantage of this procedure is that it causes less pain and general discomfort. We think that many complications encountered in the transnasal method can be overcome by the transoral method
Effect of an Information Video before Thyroid Biopsy on Patients' Anxiety
No full textAim To investigate the effects of video-based information on the anxiety of patients who underwent ultrasound-guided thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Methods Fifty consecutive patients who underwent thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy were included in the study prospectively. Patients were divided into two groups before the biopsy. 25 patients in Group 1 received only written information about thyroid biopsy. In Group 2, 25 patients received video-based information along with written information. Baseline anxiety of all the patients was evaluated prior to procedure using STAI-S and STAI-T questionnaires. After the written information was provided to the patients in group 1, the STAI-S questionnaire was repeated. In the same way, group 2 patients were asked to repeat the STAI-S questionnaire after written and video-based information were provided. All patients were asked to evaluate pain during biopsy using visual analog scale (VAS). Results There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of age and gender. Although the VAS score was lower in group 2, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. When the groups were compared in terms of basal anxiety scores, STAI-T was similar in both groups (p = 0.708). Although STAI-S values were similar in pre and post-information patients in Group 1, the STAI-S values in group 2 were statistically significantly decreased. Conclusion The video based information provided prior to thyroid biopsy draws the attention as an effective and easy to apply method to decrease the anxiety of the patients

Alma Ata Declaration
No full textHorder evaluates the current state of health care in Great Britain in
light of the Declaration of Alma Ata, which called upon all countries to
formulate national policies to initiate and maintain primary health care as
the key to achieving "health for all" by the year 2000. While Britain has
developed a good system of primary medical care, primary health care, with its
emphasis on preventive medicine and health promotion, is in a state of flux.
The author concludes by outlining the challenges this situation poses to
general practitioners and other health personnel, district and regional health
authorities, professional organizations, and the government. (KIE
abstract
Using author tri-citation analysis to map knowledge domains in knowledge representations
No full text
Purpose
Previous commonly used author co-citation analysis (ACA) methods have limited the ability to deal with accidental co-citation in constructing a raw co-citation matrix. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new method, called author tri-citation analysis (ATA), to better map knowledge domains and depict scientific intellectual structures.
Design/methodology/approach
Different from the previous method of using ACA that captures author co-citation relationships, the ATA method seeks tri-citation relationships among authors. Compared with ACA, ATA can ignore some accidental co-citation relationships between authors and can improve the accuracy of mapping knowledge domains.
Findings
Although ATA does not mine more sub-fields than ACA does, the results of the empirical studies show that ATA, the newly proposed method, performs better in knowledge domain maps based on publications in the field of computer science.
Research limitations/implications
The definition of ATA in this article is simple and still insufficiently informative. Many other pieces of information can be involved; for example, all authors’ information, authors’ sequence in the author list, reference published time and similar. These can be enhanced in future studies.
Practical implications
This research will enrich the methods of mapping knowledge domains due to its new perspective.
Social implications
Knowledge domain mapping is important to understand a discipline, and this research provides more potential methods for this, which benefits the performance of the maps.
Originality/value
ATA can provide a methodological awareness for mapping knowledge domains. This value lies in not only a tri-citation perspective, but also author bibliographic tripling and author tri-operation perspectives (“tri-” perspectives).
