Öğe Assessment of Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Organ Donation Among School Teachers: First National Survey Study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2022) Akbulut, Sami; Ozer, Ali; Firinci, Betul; Demyati, Khaled; Saritas, Hasan; Yilmaz, SezaiBackground and aim. The most important factors affecting organ donation are socioeconomic, educational, and cultural factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the attitudes, knowledge levels, and behaviors of school teachers toward organ donation Methods. This study surveyed 2400 school teachers working in official public schools. Turkey was divided into 26 regions based on the similarity of social, economic, and geographic factors identified by the Turkish Statistical Institute. Teachers were distributed equally in the city center and towns based on population. The survey procedures were carried out using computer-assisted personal interviewing. Results. Among teachers, 89.6% had a bachelor's degree and 8.5% had a master's degree. In addition, 32.5% worked in primary schools, 33.1% worked in secondary schools, and 34.4% worked in high schools. Furthermore, 0.7% had donated an organ; 66.5% were not considering organ donation in the future, of whom 9.0% indicated religion as the reason for not donating an organ, and 34.8% did not indicate any reason. In addition, 96.6% considered organ donation to be proper behavior for humanity and 68% believed that organ donation is appropriate in religious terms. Conclusions. This study showed that school teachers have inadequate knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation. Encouraging children and adolescents to make a well-informed decision about organ donation and to register this choice will depend largely on preparing school teachers with adequate knowledge and motivation toward creating generations with a positive attitude toward organ donation.Öğe Attitudes, knowledge levels and behaviors of Islamic religious officials about organ donation in Turkey: National survey study(Baishideng Publishing Group Inc, 2020) Akbulut, Sami; Ozer, Ali; Firinci, Betul; Saritas, Hasan; Demyati, Khaled; Yilmaz, SezaiBACKGROUND The most important factors affecting the decision of organ donation are socioeconomic, educational, cultural, and religious factors. AIM To evaluate Islamic religious officials' attitudes and behaviors toward and level of knowledge on organ donation and transplantation. METHODS This study surveyed 2350 Islamic religious officials in Turkey. To ensure a representative sample, we used and modified the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics. Based on the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics-II, Turkey was divided into 26 regions. The number of Islamic religious officials in each city and town in each of the 26 regions was proportionate to the population. A stratified sampling method based on demographic factors, such as age, marital status, and educational level, was used. Data were collected by PRP Research and Consultancy Company using computer-assisted personal interviewing. RESULTS Of the 2350 religious officials surveyed, 59.9% were in the age group of 35-54 years; 84.7% had either a bachelor's or a master's degree; 99.7% never donated an organ; and 75.4% were not considering donating in the future. About 22% of the religious officials said religious belief was their reason for not donating; 45.3% did not indicate any reason. Although 41.5% of participants considered cadaveric organ donation as the best source of organ transplantation, 36.3% deemed living donor transplantation as the best option. Meanwhile, 52.9% of participants considered donating an organ from a brain dead relative in case they were asked for permission; 80.1% considered donating to a relative, if necessary; 81.6% considered undergoing organ transplantation, if necessary. About 83.7% of participants deemed organ donation as a proper human behavior; 60.5% believed that it is allowed by Islam; 55% said they preach for organ donation at their mosque; and 41.1% said their views of organ donation were influenced by their leaders in society. CONCLUSION Religious officials are unsure whether or not organ donation is respectful of their religious belief, but they consider donating an organ if a relative need to undergo organ transplantation.Öğe Malatya İlinde Çalışan Öğretmenlerin Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Düzeylerinin ve İlişkili Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi(2020) Deniz, Serdar; Bentli, Recep; Kalkanlı, Merve Tuğçe; Firinci, Betul; Yalınız, Fatih; Demir, Ekrem; Oguzoncul, Ayşe FerdaneAmaç Sağlık okuryazarlığı (SOY) sağlığa ilişkin bilgilere erişim, bu bilgilerin anlaşılması ve uygulanması süreçlerini kapsayan bilişsel ve sosyal bir beceridir. Öğretmenlerin SOYdüzeyleri, çalıştıkları ve içinde bulundukları sosyal ortam nedeni ile hem kendileri hem toplum açısından oldukça önemlidir. Kesitsel nitelikteki bu araştırmada Malatyailinde çalışan öğretmenlerin SOY düzeyinin ve ilişkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç veYöntemlerBu çalışma, Malatya İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı okullarda çalışan öğretmenlere uygulandı. Malatya’da Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı okullarda çalışan toplamöğretmen sayısı 11.851’di. Toplam 1000 kişiye ulaşılması hedeflenen araştırmada 875 katılımcının cevapları değerlendirildi. Anket formu 4 bölümden oluşmaktaydı. Birincibölümünde; 16 sorudan oluşan sosyo - demografik sorular bulunmaktaydı. İkinci (47 soru), üçüncü (12 soru) ve dördüncü (11 soru) bölümlerinde veri toplama aracı olarakSağlık-Sen Türkiye Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Araştırması için Türkçe'ye çevrilen Avrupa Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Araştırması Anketi (HLS-EU-Q) kullanıldı.Bulgular Çalışma grubunun yaş ortalaması 37,69±7,95 yıl, %52,57’si kadındı. Genel SOY indeksi puan ortalaması 33,36±8,44 olarak tespit edilen grubun %49,60’ı yetersiz veyasorunlu SOY kategorisinde yer almaktaydı. Eğitim, ekonomik durum ve genel sağlık durumuna göre SOY düzeylerinin farklı olduğu tespit edildi (p<0,05).Sonuç Toplumun yüksek eğitim seviyesine sahip bireylerinden olan öğretmenlerin, yaklaşık yarısının yetersiz veya sorunlu SOY düzeyinde olduğu görülmektedir. ÖğretmenlerinSOY düzeylerinin tespiti çalışmalarının artırılması ve bu tespitler neticesinde gerekli müdahalelerin yapılması gerekmektedir.Öğe Nutritional status of elderly people living in nursing home and some related factors(2019) Bentli, Recep; Karakaş, Neşe; Firinci, Betul; Deniz, SerdarAbstract: The aim of this research is to evaluate the nutritional status of elderly people residing in a nursing home and to examine the relationship of the results with chronic diseases. The sampling of the descriptive and cross-sectional research consists of 65 nursing home residents. The data of the research were collected through the Personal Information Form, Mini Nutritional Assessment Test (MNA), Hand Grip Strength Test, Activities of Daily Living Scale and Geriatric Depression Scale. In the analysis of the data, p<0.05 value was accepted as statistically significant. The mean MNA score of the participants was calculated as 22.24±4.8; malnutrition was found in 15.4% and malnutrition risk was detected in 41.5%. There was a statistically significant positive relationship between the MNA scores and hand grip strengths of the participants (r=0.299, p<0.05). Low hand grip strength was discovered in 52.3% of the participants. There was no significant difference among the distribution of MNA scores according to the chronic diseases of the participants (p>0.05). MNA scores of the participants who had depression were found to be significantly low (p<0.05). As the dependency level in the activities of daily living increased, hand grip strength (r=-362, p?0.01) and MNA scores (r=-596, p?0.01) decreased significantly.
