Öğe Determination of the attitudes of the health staff working for the ınstitutions providing primary health care towards ageism(Hacettepe Üniversitesi Hemşirelik Fakültesi, 2021) Tuncer Şahin, Funda; Bayraktar, Evrim; Kaya Erten, ZelihaThis descriptive and correlational study was conducted to determine the attitudes of the health care staff who work for the institutions providing primary health care services in Kayseri.Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 259 individuals who agreed to participate in the study. In the quantitative part of the study, a questionnaire form and the Ageism Attitude Scale were used. In the qualitative part of the research, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight health care personnel who had the highest and lowest scores on the Ageism Attitude Scale and agreed to interview. Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data. The statistical significance level was taken as 0.05 in all tests.Results: In the study, it was found that while male health care personnel wanted to live with the elderly, female health care personnel did not (p <0.05). In the mean score distribution of the ageism attitude scale, it was determined that physicians and health officers had higher positive discrimination scores towards the elderly. Nurses' and midwives' negative discrimination scores against the elderly were higher than the other groups (p<0.05). As the education level increased, the scores of positive discrimination against the elderly also increased.Conclusion: In the research, we can say that healthcare personnel discriminates elderly at different points. The important thing is to reveal the prejudices of the health personnel about the elderly and ensure that the health personnel serving the elderly are aware of these prejudices. We think that this research will give health care professionals an insight.Öğe Determining the effect of the public health nursing practices on immigrant women's quality of life and healthy lifestyle behaviors(İnönü üniversitesi, 2020) Kaya Erten, Zeliha; Tuncer Şahin, Funda; Korkmaz, Zübeyde; Yılmaz, MerveImmigrant health has been one of the most important health problems in recent years. Therefore, immigrant health should be supported by primary health care. The objective of this study is to be able to understand the power of the nurses working in primary health care services in protection and development of immigrant women’s health. Research sample included 24 immigrant women. The practice lasted for 3 months. The research teams have visited the homes of the women once a week. Total score average of the women was found as 95.45±15.31 before performing the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale (HLBS). After performing the HLBS the total score was found as 115.88±18.19. The score average after HLBS was found statistically significant and higher when compared to the before (p<0.00). Significant positive development was also observed in the mental and physical aspects, which are components of the quality of life of women. Consequently, the health training given and interventions performed by home visits affected to healthy lifestyle behavior and life quality in a positive way.Öğe Mental foramen and lingual vascular canals of mandible on MDCT images: anatomical study and review of the literature(Springer, 2018) Direk, Filiz; Uysal, İsmihan İlknur; Kıvrak, Ali Sami; Fazlıoğulları, Zeliha; Ünver Do?an, Nadire; Karabulut, Ahmet Ka?anThe mental foramen and lingual vascular canals are related to vessels and nerves in the mandibular body. The aim of the present study was to determine the number and location of these structures and to make measurements of them. The archived Multidetector Computed Tomography images of 100 adult (15- to 70-year-old) patients were evaluated retrospectively. The diameters of the mental foramens and their distances from the front, back, upper and lower reference points were measured. The distribution of mental foramens with respect to the teeth was also researched. The presence of lingual vascular canals, and the number of median and lateral canals was determined, and the length of the median lingual vascular canals measured. All measurement parameters were analyzed by gender, side and age group. Eleven patients demonstrated a total of 15 accessory mental foramen. Median lingual vascular canals were observed in 100% of cases, with lateral lingual vascular canals determined in 32%. Significant differences were observed in the results of different gender groups (P < 0.05); in contrast, no significant difference was observed related with age or side. Accessory mental foramen was determined mostly in males, and unilaterally on the right side; also, the distances of mental foramen, except the distance from the back border of the mandible (P < 0.05), were found to be higher, bilaterally, in males. Variation of mental foramen, as well as the presence, position and size of lingual vascular canals can be clearly investigated by multidetector computed tomography. A preoperative knowledge of the positions of neurovascular and bone structures is very important for preventing complications that may occur during or after operations.Öğe Reevaluation of mandibular morphometry according to age, gender, and side(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018) Direk, Filiz; Uysal, İsmihan İlknur; Kıvrak, Ali Sami; Ünver Do?an, Nadire; Fazlıoğulları, Zeliha; Karabulut, Ahmet Ka?anAim: This study aims to reevaluation the linear and angular measurements of mandibles with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) that is a new method and used frequently in recent years. Materials and Methods: The archived MDCT images of 100 adult patients (age range, 15-74 years) without mandibular operation and trauma history were evaluated retrospectively. Mandibular ramus heights, maximal mandibular length, mandibular symphysis height, mandibular angles, and mandibular foramen distance measurements were performed on MDCT images. All measurement parameters were analyzed by gender, age groups, and sides. Results: Mandibular linear length measurements were higher in males than in females (P<0.05). Only mandibular symphysis height was statistically significantly different in age groups (P<0.05). The Angle 1 (gonial angle) was found to be significantly higher in females (P<0.05). The Angle 3 (right condyle-gnathion-left condyle angle) was observed to be significantly higher in the 60+ age group (P<0.05). The 3 of the mandibular foramen measurements (distance from the front edge, distance to gonion, and height of lingula) were found to be higher in males than in females (P<0.05). There were no significant differences according to age groups in these measurements. The lengths of the mandibular canals were higher in males (44.72mm) than in females (41.68mm). There was no statistically significant difference was found between gender, age groups, and sides of mandibular canal length. Conclusion: The MDCT was found to be a reliable method for the detection of mandibular morphometry when compared with the results of other radiographic images studies.
