    (Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2024) Zeren, Melih; Eroglu, Rumeysa; Sahin, Nilay Yurekdeler; Ozdemir, Kadirhan; Donmez, Batuhan; Karakum, Eshan
    Purpose: Smartphone addiction may reduce the time allocated for physical activity participation. However, it is not known if there is a direct association between smartphone addiction and reduced exercise capacity. Our aim was to investigate whether smartphone addiction impairs maximal exercise capacity, as well as analyze its influence on the perceived benefits of exercise and physical activity habits in young adults. Material and Methods: Forty-six volunteers were evaluated by a symptom-limited incremental exercise test. Smartphone addiction of volunteers was evaluated using Smartphone Addiction Scale- Short Form. Physical activity participation and perceived benefits of physical activity participation were evaluated using International Physical Activity Questionnaire- Short Form and Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, respectively. Results: The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 65% in young adults. No significant association was detected between smartphone addiction and any of maximal exercise capacity metrics including test duration, maximum workload achieved in watts or maximum heart rate (p>0.05). Smartphone addiction did not correlate to physical activity participation either (p>0.05). Univariate linear regression revealed Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale score was able to explain 41% of variance in exercise test duration and 37% of variance in maximal workload (p<0.01), and it was also correlated to physical activity level (r=0.424; p<0.01) Conclusion: Smartphone addiction did not directly translate into lower physical activity participation or worse exercise capacity. However, perception of the benefits of exercise had a great influence on physical activity and exercise capacity, which highlights the importance of increasing the awareness of the benefits of physical activity among young adults for maintaining physical health.

    (Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Ozdemir, Kadirhan; Tugral, Alper; Ismailoglu, Elif Gunay; Bakar, Yesim; Taskiran, Nihal; Onder, Hatice Erdem; Sari, Dilek
    Purpose: When empathy and attitude levels of health professionals are high, patient compliance and satisfaction are increased. The purpose of this study was to assess the empathy and attitude levels of undergraduate physiotherapy students towards older people before and after wearing the aged simulation suit by performing pre-defined related scenarios.Material and Methods: The aged simulation suit was put on 63 students to complete the pre-defined scenarios, which included reading, eating, walking, and sitting to determine the experiences and emotions of students via semi-structured questions and interviews. The empathy and attitude levels were evaluated using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professions Students (JSE-HPS) version and Kogan's Attitudes Towards Old People (KAOP) scales at baseline and immediately after performed scenarios.Results: The scores of the JSE-HPS and its sub-scales, including perspective-taking (p < 0.001) and compassionate care (p=0.008), were significantly improved, while standing in patient's shoes was significantly decreased after the intervention (p=0.005). KAOP positive items were found to be higher compared to the baseline results (p=0.040). Besides, 87.1% of the students stated that their behavior towards older people would change positively.Conclusion: Using aged simulation suits may be an effective educational technique that positively contributes to undergraduate physiotherapy students' attitudes and empathy.

    Investigation of the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function in cancer patients
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2022) Uysal, Songul Atasavun; Kabak, Vesile Yildiz; Karakas, Yusuf; Karabulut, Erdem; Kocamaz, Deniz Erdan; Keser, Ilke; Ozdemir, Kadirhan
    Objective The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) is a questionnaire that is used to evaluate the quality of life and cognitive functions according to individual self-reports. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the FACT-Cog. Methods Cancer patients who were treated with chemo or radiotherapy and had a score of 24/30 and more in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were included in this study. Cognitive functions assessed with the FACT-Cog and the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire Core 30: Cognitive Function subscale (EORTC QLQ-CF). Results One hundred and forty cancer patients [female = 87 (62.1%), male = 53 (37.9%)] were included. The mean age of the participants was 47.93 +/- 11.90 years. The Cronbach's alpha of the FACT-Cog scale was 0.82. Test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient values of the FACT-Cog questionnaire were varied from 0.855 to 0.954. There were found low correlations between the total score of the FACT-Cog and the MMSE (r = 0.26, p = 0.002), and moderate correlations between the EORTC QLQ-CF subscale and the FACT-Cog (r = -0.43; p < 0.001). Significance of results It showed the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the FACT-Cog questionnaire for cancer patients. It may be beneficial to use this questionnaire for the effects of cancer treatment.

    Levels of oxidative stress, selenium and zinc, and health-related quality of life in healthy males before and after COVID-19 vaccination
    (Dustri-Verlag Dr Karl Feistle, 2024) Ozdemir, Kadirhan; Saruhan, Ercan; Benli, Tuba Kaya; Kaya, Gozde; Cil, Zafer; Yavuz, Melike Yuksel; Meral, Orhan
    Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the changes in oxidative stress, selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following COVID-19 vaccination. Materials and methods: 20 healthy male subjects received 2 doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines between January and August 2021. Peripheral blood samples were taken immediately before the 1 st dose and 3 days after the 2 nd dose of the vaccine. The oxidant status (malondialdehyde (MDA) and total oxidant status (TOS)), antioxidant status (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant status (TAS)), Se and Zn, and HRQoL levels of the subjects were evaluated. In addition, oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated. Results: The mean age and body mass index of the subjects were 45.85 +/- 6.38 years and 28.53 +/- 4.50 kg/m(2), respectively. Following COVID-19 vaccinations, TAS levels decreased (p = 0.004); however, SOD levels increased (p = 0.012) significantly. In addition, there were no significant changes in TOS and MDA levels (p > 0.05). Moreover, OSI showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). After the vaccination process, Se and Zn increased; however, the differences were insignificant (p > 0.05). In addition, the HRQoL of the subjects did not change (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Although the antioxidant status decreased after 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccination, the oxidant status and the oxidative stress levels of the subjects remained stable. Thus, 2 doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccination may have no effects on oxidative stress levels in healthy males. In addition, there were no changes in the serum concentrations of Se and Zn. Moreover, there was no difference in the HRQoL of the subjects. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination process may not affect serum Se and Zn levels and HRQoL in healthy males.

    (Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2024) Ismailoglu, Elif Gunay; Ozdemir, Kadirhan; Tugral, Alper; Bakar, Yesim
    Objective: The study is aimed to study for the reliability, validity, and cross-cultural adaptation of the Turkish version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy for undergraduate health profession students (JSE-HPS). Methods: Cultural adaptation of JSE-HPS was carried out in 5 stages according to the protocol of Beaton et al.JSE-HPS was administered to students who educated in the departments of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Nursing and Health Management. The reliability of JSE-HPS was evaluated by internal consistency and test -retest analysis using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. Criterion validity assessed by comparing the scores of JSE-HPS and Emphatic Tendency Scale (ETS). An analysis of construct validity was carried out by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The exploratory factor analysis revealed the presence of three factors that explain 44.68% of the total variance and that correspond to the dimensions of the original scale. Following factor structures were obtained as Perspective taking, Compassionate care and Standing in patient's shoes. Turkish version of JSE-HPS total score were significantly correlated with the ETS total score (r=0.187, p=.005). The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient was found alpha = .793. The test -retest reliability coefficient was 0.86. The confirmatory factor analysis verified a good fit of the model (chi 2/df = 1.776). Conclusion: The Turkish version of JSE-HPS is a valid and reliable scale for evaluating empathy levels of undergraduate health professions students.
