Öğe Anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in adolescents during the COVID-19 outbreak and associated factors(Wiley-Hindawi, 2021) Selcuk, Engin Burak; Demir, Arzu Caliskan; Erbay, Lale Gonenir; Ozcan, Ozlem Ozel; Gurer, Huseyin; Donmez, Yunus EmreIntroduction Outbreaks of infectious diseases have negative effects on mental health. Currently, there is very little information about the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents and associated factors affecting their mental health. The aim of the present study is to determine the severity of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in adolescents during the COVID-19 outbreak, and to investigate the associated factors with these symptoms. Methods The present study was conducted with a total of 447 adolescents. Psychiatric symptoms were evaluated by the use of DSM-5 Level 2 Anxiety Scale, DSM-5 Level 2 Depression Scale and National Stressful Events Survey PTSD Short Scale. The association between age, gender, residential area, presence of COVID-19 in the participant, presence of COVID-19 in the family or environment and psychiatric symptoms were evaluated with linear regression analysis. Results The mean age of participants was 15.06, and 38.3% of the participants were men and 61.7% were women. The rate of participants with moderate or high levels of anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms was 28%, 37.6% and 28.5%, respectively. High age and living in an urban area were associated with increased anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms. In addition, female gender was associated with increased depression symptoms, and the presence of COVID-19 in the family or environment was associated with increased anxiety symptoms. Conclusion The present study shows that adolescents have serious levels of anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. These results emphasise the need for mental health interventions that are appropriate for the characteristics of this age group.Öğe EVALUATION OF POSTURE AND CORE ENDURANCE IN ELITE JUNIOR CLIMBERS(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2021) Ozdemir, Filiz; Tutus, Nisanur; Kilcik, Melek Havva; Arslan, Faruk; Gurer, Huseyin; Akcinar, FarukObjectives: Climbing, which is a popular sport in recent years, requires high performance and agility levels. The characteristics of climbers are still unclear. This study has been carried out to evaluate the posture and core endurance levels of climbers. Methods: Forty-nine elite climbers (mean age 15.02 +/- 2.68 years) and forty-four healthy sedentary controls (mean age 14.48 +/- 1.17 years) participated in this study. Postural assessment was conducted with New York Posture Rating Chart. McGill Core Endurance Test was used to assess the core endurance levels of the participants. Results: Of the participants included in the study, 58.2% were male and 41.8% were female. 69.3% of the climbers had been involved in climbing for more than 2 years. No statistically significant differences were found between in age, height, and body weight between the groups (p>0.05). A difference was observed in the core endurance scores between the groups (p<0.05). An increase was seen in the climbers' group when compared to the control group in the scores of the endurance levels of core flexors and right and left lateral core muscles (p<0.05). The postures of the climbers' group were also observed to be deteriorated when compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The studies conducted on climbing which has become highly popular in recent years are limited considering the importance of the issue. We believe that including posture exercises and endurance training in the exercise programs of the sportspeople will contribute to their climbing performances as well as their overall health.Öğe Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis activity and related factors in adolescent during a tennis tournament(2020) Ucuz, İlknur; Ucar, Cihat; Gurer, Huseyin; Yıldız, SedatAim: Adolescence is an important period of development and during this period young people are more susceptible to mentalillnesses. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge of the factors that mediate stress response can help developing our understandingof these diseases. The aim of this study is to examine the activity of hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal axis and determine factorsaffecting this activity in adolescents.Material and Methods: The adolescents between the ages of 14 and 17, who participated in the official amateur tennis tournament,were included in the study. The data form, including questions for the assessment of the stress level and sociodemographic variableswas filled. Then, salivary cortisol levels were measured before (-5 minutes) and after (+5 minutes) the first match of the official tennistournament.Results: The mean salivary cortisol levels were 40.8±53.8 ng/ml, before the game and 98.8±150.5 ng/ml, after the game (p=0.008).The salivary cortisol levels were statistically higher, after the game, in males, those who won, and those who felt anxious comparedthe before.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that salivary cortisol level can be used in the assessment of stress response inadolescents and various factors such as gender, mood, and state of winning are effective on cortisol response.Öğe Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis activity and related factors in adolescent during a tennis tournament(2020) Ucuz, Ilknur; Gurer, Huseyin; Ucar, Cihat; Yildiz, SedatAim: Adolescence is an important period of development and during this period young people are more susceptible to mental illnesses.
