    COVİD-19 HASTALIĞINI GEÇİRME DURUMU İLE BİTKİSEL ÜRÜN KULLANIMI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ
    (2023) Uçar, Mehmet; Aylaz, Rukuye; Kara, Ferhat
    Aralık 2019’da Çin’de ortaya çıkan Covid-19 salgını Mart 2020’de Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından pandemi olarak ilan edilmiştir. Salgın gündelik yaşamı tüm yönleriyle olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Salgın ile baş edebilmek için sosyal hayatı tamamen etkileyen tedbirler alınmıştır. Tüm dünyada tedavi ve aşı çalışmaları başlamıştır. Bireyler ise hastalığa karşı tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp yöntemlerine başvurmuştur. Bu araştırma Covid-19 salgını sebebiyle, bireylerin hastalığa yakalanmamak için tükettiği bitkisel ürünlerin neler olduğu ve kullanılan bu bitkisel ürünler ile Covid-19 hastalığını geçirme durumu arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla planlandı. Bu araştırma kapsamında ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın veri toplama aşaması, yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle yapıldı. Araştırma Muş ilindeki Muş 1 ve 2 Nolu Aile Sağlığı Merkezlerinde Nisan ve Mayıs 2023 tarihlerinde yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya gönüllü katılan 15 yaş ve üzeri 430 bireyin 26 tanesi çalışmayı yarıda bırakma ya da anket formlarındaki eksik bilgilerden dolayı çalışmaya dâhil edilmediler. Bu sebeplerle araştırmamıza yaş ortalamaları 31.90±14.5 olan 144 kadın ve 260 erkek dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmamızda elde ettiğimiz veriler, araştırmaya katılan bireylerin %48.5’i bitkisel ürünlerin Covid-19’dan koruduğunu düşünmekte, %65.3 ile en fazla nane bitkisini tükettikleri saptanmıştır. Covid-19 hastalığına yakalanma durumu ile bitkisel ürünlerin koruyuculuğu arasında istatiksel olarak önemli bir fark saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Hastalığı geçirmeyenlerin %69.1’i nane, %63.6’sı kekik, %58.2’si sarımsak ya da soğan tükettikleri tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak araştırmaya katılanların yarıdan fazlasının bitkisel ürünlerin koruyucu olduğunu düşünmekte, hastalığa yakalanmayanların nane, kekik, sarımsak ve soğan kullandıkları saptanmıştır. Bitkisel ürün kullanan bireylerin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde daha az Covid-19’a yakalanması bitkisel ürünlerin Covid-19’a karşı bireylerde koruyuculuk sağladığını göstermekte ancak bitkisel ürün kullanımı ve Covid-19 hastalığı benzeri bulaşıcı hastalıkların arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen daha fazla araştırma yapılması önerilmektedir.

    Effect of Difficulties Experienced by Parents of Autistic Children on Their Sexual Life: A Qualitative Study
    (Springer, 2012) Aylaz, Rukuye; Yilmaz, Ulviye; Polat, Sevinc
    The study was conducted to investigate the difficulties experienced by parents of children with autism on their sexual life. The study used the method of focus group interviews and face-to-face in-depth interviews for qualitative studies. Interviews were held with the parents of 12 autistic children registered at the Application and Research Center for child with disability in Inonu University using a semi-structured questionnaire prepared by the investigators through screening. A voice recording device was used during the interviews, but since the parents expressed their unwillingness for any voice recording during the interviews about their sexual lives, face-to-face interviews were held with them in a suitable physical environment without any voice recording. It was found at the end of this study that the parents of autistic children experienced difficulties in their family relations, in social and economic spheres and in coping with the education and problematic behavior of their children and their sexual lives were adversely affected by such difficulties. It was observed that a large part of the responsibility for giving care to their children was assumed by women and their interaction and sexual relation with their husbands diminished for this reason. In view of these findings, we suggest that the nurses working in this particular field should provide professional social support to the parents and guide them into recognizing the difficulties they experience, the importance of their sexual life and the places from where they can get service.

    The Effect of the Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold Model Training Program on Depression and Care Burden in Dementia Patient Caregivers
    (Ivano-Frankivsk Natl Medical Univ, 2022) Aslan, Sinan; Aylaz, Rukuye
    The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold training program on depression and care burden in dementia patient caregivers. Materials and Methods. We applied an experimental model based on a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 140 dementia caregivers (the experimental group and the control group with 70 participants per group). The sample size was determined, and the participants were allocated to groups using power analysis. Data of the study were collected between April 15, 2016 and July 15, 2016. For the pre-test, both groups were provided with the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Caregiver Burden of Dementia Patient Caregiver Scale (CBDPCS) to be filled in. Then, the experimenter visited the homes of the experimental group patients twice at 2-week intervals to provide nursing care based on the Progressively Lowered Stress Threshold Model. Finally, after 8 weeks, the post-test was conducted by letting both groups complete the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the BDI, and the CBDPCS once again. Percentage, chi-square, in independent and dependent sample t-tests were used to evaluate the related data. Results. The mean BDI score was 15.61 +/- 10.97 in the pre-test and 11.08 +/- 8.82 in the post-test (t=6.738, p=0.001). The mean pre-test and post-test total CBDPCS scores of caregivers were 67.02 +/- 16.23 and 59.27 +/- 15.25, respectively (t=5.974, p=0.001). The difference between the intergroup comparison of the mean experiment and control group post-test scores was statistically significant (p=0.001) on the CBDPCS and the total BDI score. Conclusions. Our results suggest that education provided to caregivers can efficiently decrease their care burden and depression levels.
