    (2024) Topal, Erdem; Kayhan, Mehmet; , Adem
    Aim: Asthma is one of the most commonly reported occupational lung diseases. Studies indicate that one of the primary causes of occupational asthma is baker’s asthma. This study aims to determine the prevalence of asthma and asthma-related symptoms among bakery workers in Malatya, Turkey. Materials and Methods: Designed as a cross-sectional study, this research was conducted through a survey to assess the prevalence of asthma, the frequency of asthma symptoms, and factors influencing asthma among bakery workers in Malatya between December 2022 and May 2023. Results: The study included 142 participants, comprising 139 men and 3 women. Of the participants, 35.5% had been working for over 21 years, while 34% had been employed for less than 10 years. Approximately 20% of participants reported atopic complaints. While 6.3% of workers were previously diagnosed with asthma, 14.1% had at least two asthma-related symptoms. The risk of asthma was notably higher among workers in dough production compared to those in other departments. Conclusion: Occupational exposure appears to significantly contribute to the increased frequency of asthma among bakers working in dough production.

    Investigation of the relationship between E-health literacy and attitudes towards the use of telehealth services in individuals applying to tertiary healthcare
    (2025) Tetik, Burcu Kayhan; , Adem; Korkmaz, Yavuz; Beler, Mehmet
    Telemedicine is a key component in improving healthcare delivery and accessibility, especially when distance poses a challenge. With the increasing digitalization of healthcare, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between e-health literacy and attitudes towards telehealth services. This cross-sectional study included 385 patients aged 45–65 who applied to a family medicine outpatient clinic at a tertiary care center. Participants completed the E-Health Literacy Scale (e-HLS) and the Attitude Scale for the Use of Telemedicine Services (ASUTS). The mean age was 52.67±6.39 years; 86.5% owned mobile phones with internet access, and 66.2% used the E-Nabız application. In case of a health problem, the Family Health Center was the most frequently visited institution (49.6%), followed by State Hospitals (23.9%). A moderately positive correlation was observed between e-health literacy and attitudes towards telehealth services (r=0.485, p<0.001). Multivariable linear regression showed that each one-unit increase in e-health literacy was associated with a 0.956-unit increase in attitude scores (p<0.001). Higher attitude scores were found among males, individuals over 50, those with education above high school, E-Nabız users, and participants who considered the internet useful and important (p<0.05). The findings suggest that improving e-health literacy may positively influence acceptance of telehealth services. This can be achieved by enhancing access to digital health platforms, developing user-friendly technologies, providing education and awareness programs, and involving healthcare professionals in promoting digital health literacy.
