Öğe Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors of Academic and Administrative Staff at Izmir Bakırçay University towards Rational Drug Use(2024) Yaslı, Gökben; Turhan, EbruAim: It is aimed to evaluate the knowledge level and behaviors of university staff about rational drug use. Methods: The descriptive study was carried out online among the academic and administrative staff of Izmir Bakircay University. Its population consists of 308 university personnel and the sample was not selected. A 20- question questionnaire and a 21-item Rational Drug Use Scale were sent to all personnel who accepted the study, and 219 personnel (71.1%) participated. Independent variables, sociodemographic characteristics and drug use habits are the dependent variable scale score. SPSS 20.0 statistical package program was used. Descriptive statistics, number and percentage distributions, differences between groups were evaluated with Chi-Square and Fisher's exact tests. Results: The proportion of participants with a proficient level of knowledge in rational medication use is 82.2%. 89.9% of the participants had good knowledge of rational drug use, and their average score was 38.4±3.5. The level of knowledge of women, academic staff and participants aged 40 and over is higher (p=0.015). Conclusion: Academic staff and female employees aged 40 and over have higher rational drug use knowledge levels. In order to gain Rational Drug Use behavior, both health professionals and the society should be provided with extensive training opportunities and drug policies should be developed.Öğe Quality of Life and Depression in the Individuals Above 65 Years Old Cross-Sectional Study in Altindag Neighborhood of Izmir City(Asia Pacific League Clinical Gerontology & Geriatrics, 2023) Yasli, Gokben; Turhan, Ebru; Kiziloglu, Fulya; Kabanli, AysegulBackground/Purpose: The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between the quality of life and depression in the elderly individuals above 65 years old in Altindag Neighborhood in Bornova County of Izmir. Methods: A cross sectional study was performed in Altindag, Izmir Province. A sample was selected from individuals over 65 years of age (n=609) registered with two family physicians. The number of people that should be reached by the EPI INFO 2007 program was calculated as 230 people based on the previous studies with a prevalence of 40%, sample errors of 5%, and a confidence interval of 95%. The questionnaire was applied face-to-face to 230 elderly people who applied to a family health center to receive any health service, agreed to participate in the study, and were selected by a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using the questionnaire developed by the investigators, WHOQOL-OLD Scale developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and consisting of 6 domains, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent groups, correlation test, and logistic regression were used for the statistical evaluation. Results: Mean age of the participants was 73.6 +/- 6.2 years (range: 65-91 years). According to the Geriatric Depression Scale, 35.2% of the participants (n=81) had depression symptoms (n=81). It was found that depressive signs were more common in the female participants and in the participants with a low level of education, low level of income who was retired, and who had divorced, never married, or whose spouse died. It was found that rate of observing depressive signs were 3.24 folds higher in the unemployed participants. There was a negative correlation between the quality of life sub-scores and depression. There was a strong negative relationship between sensory abilities, death, and dying sub-scores. Autonomy, social participation, intimacy, total score averages, and depression score averages were found to be moderately negative. Conclusion: This study found a significant association between severity of depression and poorer QOL. However, depression was not associated with death and dying. It is important to improve quality of life and strengthen family and social relationships of the individual as preventive strategies against depression in the elderly people.

Morphometric values of bones differ between populations. This study aims to reach the mean mor- phometric values of the forearm bones in the Anatolian population. Methods: Through Computed Tomography Angiography images, Radius length, radius width, the distance between the lateral and medial edges of the distal end of the radius (AD) width, caput ulna width, ulna length, and caput radii width measurement data, including age and gender were collected. Results: A total of 81 images, 28 female and 53 male, were included in the study. When the general data of the study were evaluated, it was found that radius length (cm) was 23.39±1.82, radius width (mm) was 30±2.9, AD width (mm) was 25.8±3, caput ulna width (mm) was 16.4±2.2, ulna length (cm) was 25.33±1.88, caput radii width (mm) was 19.1±2.5. There was a significant difference between the genders in the measured parameters. Conclusion: The lengths and distal widths of the radius and ulna differ in the Anatolian population compared to other populations. For this reason, anatomical values of the populations should be considered in forearm fracture surgery applications.Öğe Radiologıcal Evaluation of Volar Cortical Angle in the Anatolian Population(Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2023) Nalbant, Asrin; Ismailoglu, Eren; Turhan, Ebru; Duygu, Ozden BedreDistal radius fractures are the most common fractures of the upper limb. The most commonly used method in the repair of these fractures is volar locking plates. Recently, the frequency of removal of volar locking plates after surgery has increased. There are many factors in its reduction. Anatomically, incompatibility of the distal end of the radius with volar locking plates is one of them. In previous studies, different volar cortical angle (VCA) values were found in other races. For this reason, this study aimed to determine the mean values by making VCA measurements of the Anatolian population. The study was designed retrospectively. In the study, measurements were made on computed tomography (CT) images of the distal end of the radius of 53 men and 28 women. Radial width, intermediate volar angle, and radial volar angle were measured in the images. On average, the radius width was 23.35 +/- 1.96 mm, and the intermediate volar angle was 26.02 +/- 3.83(degrees), radial volar angle was 24 +/- 3.07(degrees). Radial width, intermediate volar angle, and radial volar angle differed significantly by gender (p<0.001). A significant correlation was found between radius width, intermediate volar angle, and radial volar angle values (p<0.001). It has been determined that the Anatolian population has a different VCA value than the European, Asian, and other populations. When using volar locking plates in distal radius fracture surgery, volar locking plates should be selected by considering the average values of the races.Öğe RATIONAL DRUG USE STATUS OF STUDENTS AT A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL(2023) Yaslı, Gökben; Turhan, EbruObjective: Irrational drug use is a significant global and public health issue, including in Turkey Turk. This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes of students toward rational drug use . Methods: The study population comprised of 1909 students enrolled in Bakırçay University's 2019-2020 academic year. The sample size of the study was 780 students selected through stratified random sampling from each faculty. Data were collected using the \"Rational Drug Use Form,\" which included demographic characteristics, background, drug use attitudes and behaviors, and the Rational Drug Use Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0, and a p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the students, 74.4% were female, and 42.3% were male, with a mean age of 19.9. Of the students, 28.2% self-medicated before consulting a doctor when sick, and 57.6% used medication for headaches without consulting a doctor. Additionally, 73.6% of them primarily used over-the-counter painkillers. Based on the Rational Drug Use Scale score of ≥35, which is considered the cut-off point in the literature, 491 students (73.3%) knew about rational drug use Conclusion: The students' knowledge of rational drug use was found to be above the average. However, campus courses and projects must be organized, and medical units should be supported, despite students' awareness of rational drug useÖğe Thought, Attitudes, and Practices of the Anatomy Departments on Receiving and Embalming Cadavers During the Pandemic Process(Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2022) Uzuner, Muhammet Bora; Nalbant, Asrin; Geneci, Ferhat; Turhan, EbruDuring the Covid-19 pandemic that has marked the last years, while governments tried to control the spread of the virus, many-body donation programs were suspended due to difficulties that could potentially be encountered. Given the low body donation acceptance rates during this period, through this study we aimed to evaluate academics' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in cadaver acceptance and embalming practices during the pandemic. The research population of thestudy consisted of the faculty of 112 universities in Turkey who taught in under graduate and graduate programs in the Anatomy Department in 2020. An electronic questionnaire of 24 items, including demographic data, was distributed to the participants' official e-mail addresses. In addition, support was received from the Turkish Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy Society, whose members were also approached through their official group e-mail accounts. Answers were collected from 78 (39 %) out of 200 academics. The findings of the study were under 5 headings (information about cadaver donation and imported cadavers, attitude towards importation of cadavers and acceptance of body donations, precautions against contagion in importation of cadavers and acceptance of body donations and thoughts on their adequacy, considerations for adoption of cadavers for post-graduation education, advice on avoiding contagion in cadaver embalming) were collected and analyzed. The study high lights the importance of cadaver acceptance and embalming practices for medical education to minimally continue in the post-pandemic period. It can also serve as a reference for being cautious when faced with similar situations in the future.
