Öğe Adaptation of the cyber aggression in relationships scale to Turkish: A validity and reliability study(Wiley, 2021) Nacar, Gulcin; Timur Tashan, Sermin; Bekar, MinePurpose In this study, the cyber aggression in relationships scale (CARS) was intended to be adapted to Turkish. Design and Methods The study was designed as a methodological study with 426 students. Findings The best fit index values for both the cyber perpetration and cyber victimization scales (CVSs) were obtained through confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients for the overall and sub-dimensions of the cyber perpetration scale and CVS were found to range from 0.88 to 0.92 and 0.85 to 0.91, respectively. Practice Implications In the study, CARS was found to be a valid and reliable instrument for Turkish society.Öğe Changes in Family Planning Methods and Sexual Behaviors after Türkiye's Earthquake and the Effect of on Quality of Sexual Life(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Tore, Fatma Keskin; Agrali, Cansu; Nacar, GulcinThis study aims to examine the changes in family planning methods and sexual behaviors after Turkiye's earthquake and the effect of on quality of sexual life. The study involved a total of 272 women. The multiple regression analysis indicated that having a low educational level, starting to use traditional family planning methods, experiencing a decrease in sexual desire, and having sexual intercourse once a month or less after the earthquake, negatively affected the quality of sexual life in women. Health professionals are recommended to assess women's needs for family planning methods after disasters like earthquakes.Öğe Eating attitudes, depressive symptoms, physical activity levels and menopausal symptoms of postmenopausal women diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a case-control study(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Nacar, Gulcin; Tashan, Sermin TimurThe purpose of this study is to compare the eatingt attitudes, depressive symptoms, physical activity levels, and menopausal symptoms of postmenopausal women who had been diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and women without. This study utilized a case-control design and included 137 postmenopausal women, 70 women in the case group and 67 women in the control group. The case group was composed of all postmenopausal women who were registered in the COVID-19 polyclinic of a public hospital in Turkey, who had positive PCR results, and who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 at least one month before. Each woman in the case group was matched by age (+/- 1 year) with controls who visited the Family Health Center for any reason and who did not have suspected or confirmed COVID-19 disease. Data were collected using the Socio-demographic Form, the Eating Attitudes Test, the Beck Depression Inventory, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Menopause Rating Scale between the 27(th) of January and the 5(th) of March 2021. Statistical analyses included percentage distributions, arithmetic means, standard deviation, t-test in independent groups, chi-square, Cronbach's alpha reliability analysis, binary logistic regression analysis, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results showed that women who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 had the risk of experiencing postmenopausal symptoms 1.36 times more than the women without (OR = 1.36 , %95 CI 1.084-1.48, p < .001). A statistically significant difference was found between women who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and women without (F = 7.372, p < .05) in the ANCOVA model established to see the effect of depressive symptoms, physical activity levels, and eating attitudes on menopausal symptoms by eliminating the effects of smoking, age and menopause hormone therapy (MHT) use, and it explained 4.2% of the variance (?2 = .042). This study showed that postmenopausal women who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 experienced more menopausal symptoms. Health professionals are recommended to carefully evaluate the menopausal symptoms of postmenopausal women who had been diagnosed with COVID-19.Öğe The effect of motivational video and nutrition on the non-stress test: a randomised controlled clinical trial(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2022) Tashan, Sermin Timur; Coskun, Ebru Inci; Nacar, Gulcin; Erci, BehiceThis study aimed to determine the effect of motivational video stimulation and nutrition on the non-stress test (NST). The sample of the study consisted of 360 pregnant women in total, including two experimental groups and one control group (120 pregnant women in each group). After the pregnant women in the study were divided into three groups at a 1:1:1 ratio with the computer-assisted random sampling method, the draw method was used to determine the experimental and control groups. The pregnant women in the first experimental group were allowed to consume cake and juice 30 min before the NST procedure. The pregnant women in the second experimental group were also allowed to consume cake and juice, while they were also shown a video with the content of development and changes in the mother and the foetus during pregnancy, with relaxing music, for about 15-20 min. There was no intervention made in the control group. The data were collected using a Participant Information Form and an NST Findings Registry Form which were created by the researchers based on their review of the relevant literature. The data were analysed using arithmetic means, percentage distributions, ANOVA, Bonferroni and chi-squared tests. It was found that the mean number of foetal movements and the mean number of accelerations in the cake + juice and motivational video groups were higher than those in the control group (p < 0.001). Besides, the pregnant women in the experimental groups were found to have more reactive NST results. As a result, it was determined that the motivational video and cake + juice interventions improved the movement of the foetus, the number of accelerations and the ratio of reactivity in NST, but the two interventions did not have any superiority over each other. It is recommended to offer cake and juice to pregnant women before NST or have them watch a motivational video during NST, for having good NST results.Impact statement What is already known about the topic? The false-positive rates of the NST, which enables monitoring foetal movements and foetal heart rates, are high. These false-positive rates of the NST lead to many obstetric complications, in addition to increasing the rates of cesarean-section deliveries. Recent studies showed that there are methods and factors that increase foetal movements and shorten the application period of the NST. It was identified that food intake, music therapy, foetal vibroacoustic and halogen light stimulation before the NST increases foetal movements and shortens the application period of the NST. What this paper adds? In the study, it was found that watching motivational videos and consuming cake and juice increased the number of foetal movements, the number of accelerations and the rate of reactive NST results, but the two interventions did not have superiority over each other. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? In order to increase reactive NST rates, it is recommended that pregnant women consume cake and fruit juice before the procedure and watch a motivational video during the NST procedure.Öğe The effects of acupressure and yoga for coping with premenstrual syndromes on premenstrual symptoms and quality of life(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Kucukkelepce, Didem Simsek; Unver, Hacer; Nacar, Gulcin; Tashan, Sermin TimurObjective: This study aims to identify the effects of acupressure and yoga for coping with premenstrual syndromes (PMS) on the premenstrual symptoms and quality of life. Methods: This study adopted a randomized intervention design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 155 students with PMS complaints (50 in yoga, 51 in acupressure, and 54 in control group). The students in the intervention groups did yoga and received acupressure throughout 12 weeks. Results: It was found that the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale posttest mean score of the students was lower, and the physical health, psychological health, and environment sub-scale mean scores of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire were higher in the yoga group in comparison to the other groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Yoga was found to be a more effective non-pharmacological method for coping with premenstrual symptoms.Öğe GEBELERIN UYKU ÖZELLİKLERİNİN PRENATAL BAĞLANMA İLE İLİŞKİSİ(2019) Nacar, Gulcin; Taşhan, Sermin TimurAbstract: Araştırma gebelerin uyku özelliklerinin prenatal bağlanma ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma ilişki arayıcı tanımlayıcı olarak planlanmıştır. Araştırma, Aralık 2016-Haziran 2017 tarihleri arasında Türkiye'nin doğusundaki bir devlet hastanesinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini, güç analizine göre 0,05 etki büyüklüğünde ve %5 yanılgı düzeyi ile belirlenen %95 güven aralığında %98 oranla evreni temsil gücüne sahip 977 gebe oluşturmuştur. Verilerin elde edilmesinde “Katılımcı Bilgi Formu”, “Kadın Sağlığı İnisiyatifi Uykusuzluk Ölçeği (KSİUÖ)” ve ‘‘Prenatal Bağlanma Envanteri (PBE)” kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede; yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, bağımsız gruplarda t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), bonferroni ve lojistik regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada gebelerin %66,7’sinin uykusuzluk problemi olduğu, %52,4’ünün 7 saatten az uyuduğu, % 85,4’ünün gebelik dönemindeki uyku alışkanlığında değişiklik olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırmada öğrenim durumunun, bebeğin cinsiyetinin, gebelik trimesterinin uykusuzluk için önemli yordayıcılar olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Gebelerin uyku süresi azaldıkça prenatal bağlanma düzeylerinin arttığı görülmüştür (p: 0.022). Gebelikte uyku süresi ile prenatal bağlanma birlikte değerlendirilmeli ve anne, bebek sağlığı için gerekli önlemler alınmalıdır.Öğe The predictors of sexual quality of life and relationship happiness during the COVID-19 pandemic: a sample of Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Keskin, Fatma; Nacar, GulcinThe purpose of this study is to examine the predictors of sexual quality of life and relationship happiness during the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample in Turkey. This study utilized a descriptive and relational screening design. It was conducted between June 2021 and November 2021 during the pandemic. The participants included 307 women who were accessed online through social networks. The linear multiple regression analysis results showed a significant relationship between changes in the family income level during the pandemic (& beta;-coefficient -0.120; p = .006), sexual compatibility with the spouse (& beta;-coefficient 0.541; p = .001) and experiencing problems in sexual life (& beta;-coefficient 0.173; p = .001) and sexual quality of life. A significant relationship was found between relationship happiness and quality of the time spent with the spouse during the pandemic (& beta;-coefficient -0.282; p = .001), sexual compatibility with the spouse (& beta;-coefficient -0.327; p = .001) and marriage compatibility (& beta;-coefficient -0.152; p = .019). This study found that women's sexual quality of life and relationship happiness were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, women should be provided with consultancy services through the evaluation of their sexual life and relationship happiness when their health problems are evaluated during the pandemic period.Öğe Relationship between sleep characteristics and depressive symptoms in last trimester of pregnancy(Makerere Univ, Coll Health Sciences,Sch Med, 2019) Nacar, Gulcin; Tashan, Sermin TimurBackground: Sleep problems during pregnancy may cause many complications that reduce quality of life.

It also determined that participants who had problems with insomnia, who experienced a change in sleep habits, and who did not wake up feeling rested experienced depressive symptoms 1.64, 2.79, and 2.59 times more than those who didn't have these problems, respectively. who experienced a decrease in sleep, who experienced an increase in sleep, and who did not wake up feeling rested experienced depressive symptoms 1.61, 3.22, 3.53, and 2.59 times more, respectively, than those who did not have insomnia, who did not experience a change in sleep habits in pregnancy, and who woke up feeling rested, respectively. Conclusion: This study determined that there is a relationship between insomnia and depressive symptoms and that pregnant women experiencing insomnia presented with more depressive symptoms.Öğe Theory-based training to promote breast cancer screening among women with breast cancer worries: randomized controlled trial(Associacao Paulista Medicina, 2020) Tashan, Sermin Timur; Derya, Yesim Aksoy; Ucar, Tuba; Nacar, Gulcin; Erci, BehiceBACKGROUND: Breast cancer worries are important determinants in relation to behavior favoring breast cancer screening. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of theory-based training to promote breast cancer screening among women with high and low levels of breast cancer worries. DESIGN AND SETTING: Randomized controlled trial, conducted in two family health centers. METHODS: In total, 285 women were recruited. Women with low levels of breast cancer worries were included in the first intervention group (112 women) and the first control group (112 women), while women with high levels of breast cancer worries were included in the second intervention group (37 women) and the second control group (43 women). Theory-based training to promote breast cancer screening was given to intervention groups. The women's willingness to undergo breast cancer screening and breast cancer worry scores were evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: The women in the low cancer-worry intervention group performed breast self-examination more in months 1 and 6 following the training, and the women in the high cancer-worry control group performed breast self-examination more in month 3 (P < 0.05). No difference between the women who had low or high levels of breast cancer worries were observed in relation to breast self-examination, clinical breast examination or mammography (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The level of worry did not affect the success of theory-based training, and the training was partially effective with regard to willingness to undergo breast cancer screening.Öğe Turkish adaptation of the reproductive autonomy scale: Validity and reliability study(Wiley, 2024) Hazar, Seda; Inal, Ceylan Guzel; Nacar, Gulcin; Tashan, Sermin TimurObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the reproductive autonomy scale by adapting it to Turkish society.Materials and MethodologyDesigned with a methodological method, the study was conducted with an online form created by using Google Forms with 308 married women of reproductive age between the ages of 15 and 49 who use WhatsApp or Instagram. The cultural adaptation process of the scale was carried out in three stages: language validity, content validity, and pilot application. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the scale's construct validity. The scale's reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient and test-retest analyses.Findings.As a result of the exploratory factor analysis conducted in the study, it was determined that reproductive autonomy scale (RAS) consists of 14 items and 3 subscales. Good fit index values were obtained in confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients for the RAS total and subscale were found to be 0.66, 0.64, 0.89, and 0.92, respectively. Additionally, test-retest analysis of the scale was determined to have a high correlation.ConclusionThe reproductive autonomy scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for measuring the reproductive autonomy of Turkish society.Öğe Validity and reliability of the turkish version of the modified breast cancer worry scale(Iranıan journal of publıc health, 2018) Timur Tashan, Sermin; Ucar, Tuba; Aksoy Derya, Yesim; Nacar, Gulcin; Erci, BehiceBackground: There are many assessment instruments used for cancer worry. Many women worry about breast cancer, but In Turkey, there is no scale that assesses the worry about developing breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Breast Cancer Worry Scale (BCWS). This scale was created as a modified version of the Cancer Worry Scale. Methods: The study was conducted in a Family Health Center (FHC) located in eastern Turkey using a methodological design.
