Öğe Adaptation of the Australian National University Alzheimer's Disease Risk Index-Short Form (ANU-ADRI-SF) into Turkish(Wiley, 2024) Bayram, Serap; Akkas, Ozlem AltinbasBackgroundThe 'Australian National University Alzheimer's Disease Risk Index' (ANU-ADRI) assesses the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is a potential tool for its prevention. ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to adapt the ANU-ADRI-SF (the short version of ANU-ADRI) into the Turkish language and Turkish cultural context. MethodsThe study was methodological and involved the translation and intercultural adaptation of the ANU-ADRI-SF into the Turkish language. The study included 384 community-based participants from a province in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkiye. Data was collected via an online form prepared using Google Forms. ResultsThe index was translated from its original language, English, into Turkish and then retranslated to English by bilingual translators. It was then reviewed and evaluated for possible issues related to translation and degrees of equivalence. When TR-ANU-ADRI-SF levels were compared according to sex, the mean risk scores were found to be 11.25 +/- 7.02 for males and 11.69 +/- 7.99 for females. After cross-cultural adaptation, the TR-ANU-ADRI-SF was conceptually intelligible to Turkish adults. ConclusionsThe TR-ANU-ADRI-SF is a valid and reliable AD risk assessment tool. Implications for practiceGiven the increase in AD and its impact on people's health, there is a great need for strategies to be implemented by health professionals to improve the lifestyle of the adult population. For use in conjunction with these strategies, a localised AD risk assessment tool that can be applied by clinicians or by individual patients has been adapted and introduced to the Turkish literature.Öğe Determination of Factors Affecting Self-Transcendence and Meaning in Life Among the Elderly Receiving Institutional Care(Springer, 2021) Usta, Esra; Bayram, SerapThis study was conducted in order to determine factors that influence self-transcendence and meaning in life in the elderly receiving institutional care. This descriptive and analytic study was conducted on 72 elderly individuals living in a nursing home in Turkey. Data were collected with the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), the Lawton&Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) and the Self-Transcendence Scale (STS). The mean score of STS is 48.17 +/- 6.67 at the intermediate level, and the mean scores of presence and search subscales of the MLQ are 28.07 +/- 6.55 and 24.06 +/- 7.73 above the intermediate level. The STS mean score is poorly correlated with the ADL (r = 0.277) and the IADL scale (r = 0.343). Increased perception of general health status of the elderly improved self-transcendence (ST) level (p = 0.04) and search for meaning in life (ML) level (p = 0.02). These findings show that the health perceptions of the elderly must be improved in the first place.Öğe Determining the factors that affect self-reported quality of life among Turkish seafarers(Via Medica, 2021) Demir, Ismail Hakki; Oruc, Deniz; Bayram, SerapBackground: The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of life (QOL) of Turkish seafarers and its relationship with the factors affecting it. Materials and methods: A total of 103 Turkish seafarers completed an Employee Assessment Form and WHOQOL-BREF Scale. Results: The majority of the seafarers who participated in the study were males (98%) of the age group 3648 (44%). Among the seamen, 58% smoked and 42% used alcohol. The rate of exercising was 29% and the mean body mass index was 27.63 +/- 3.78. Average scores of WHOQOL-BREF sub-dimension are 15.99 +/- 1.83 for physical (PHY), 15.77 +/- 2.26 for psychological (PSY), 15.50 +/- 2.73 for social (SOC), 14.17 +/- 2.25 for environmental domain (ENV), and finally 14.18 +/- 2.13 for ENV-TR. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, it is possible to argue that Turkish seafarers have a weak awareness towards improving their health and QOL in their working life and that they need assistance in improving their QOL, especially in psychological and social aspects.Öğe Effect of acupressure on agitation in the elderly with dementia who receive institutional care: A pilot study(Wiley, 2021) Bayram, Serap; Altinbas Akkas, Ozlem; Usta, EsraPurpose This pilot study was carried out to determine the effect of acupressure on agitation in the elderly with dementia who receive institutional care. Methods The study sample consisted of 38 elderly individuals (acupressure group [AG] = 19, usual-care group = 19). Acupressure application was performed on four points. The results were measured at the beginning (T-0), the week after acupressure was completed (T-1), and 2 weeks after acupressure was completed (T-2). Findings The change in the total Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory score across the groups at T-1, T-2, and T(3)was statistically significant in favor of AG. Practical Implications The acupressure used in this study can be used for managing agitation in the elderly with dementia.Öğe Effects of reminiscence therapy on cognition, agitation, and quality of life in older adults with dementia receiving long-term care(Wiley, 2024) Bayram, SerapBackground: Dementia is one of the most common neuropsychiatric conditions in older adults. Despite many older adults with dementia receiving long-term care (LTC), few studies have been conducted in Turkey on reminiscence therapy (RT) influencing neuropsychiatric symptoms and quality of life in people with dementia receiving LTC. This study aimed to investigate the effect of RT on cognition, agitation, and quality of life in older adults with dementia receiving LTC in Turkey. Methods: The study population consisted of 100 older adults living in a LTC centre in a province. The size of the research group was calculated using the power analysis method, and 54 older adults were included in the study, 27 each in the RT and control (C) groups. Data collection forms Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI), and the Alzheimer's Disease Quality-of-Life Scale (AD-QOL) were applied to the RT and C groups before RT (T-0), 1 week after RT (T-1), 1 month after RT (T-2), and 3 months after RT (T-3) to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Mean, standard deviation, ratio, percentile, Fisher's exact test, Pearson Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Friedman test were used in analyzing the data. Results: Older adults in the RT and C groups were similar regarding sociodemographic characteristics, institutional care, and life models (P > 0.05). When comparing the T-3 values of MMSE, CMAI, and AD-QOL total scores with the T-0 values, a significant difference was observed between the groups, favouring the RT group (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Individual RT may benefit cognition, agitation, and quality of life of older adults with dementia residing in a LTC centre.Öğe Loneliness and Depression Among Turkish Community-dwelling Older Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Bayram, Serap; Ozsari, Ezgi; Kokpinar, Hatice; Yazici, Kubra; Halbilir, Yusuf; Ersoy, Abdullah; Ozcan, SemihObjective: In critical periods such as pandemics, the mental health needs of the older adults population should be one of the focal points of public health services. This study aims to investigate the loneliness and depression of older adults living in the community in Turkey during the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Materials and Methods: It is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical research. The sample size of the study was calculated as 510 people. Older adults aged 60 and over, residing in the province for at least one year, no history of severe psychiatric or neurological disorders, no severe clinical or psychiatric disorders, and living at home were included in the study. Data were collected with a questionnaire, Ascertain Dementia 8 (AD8), Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form, and the University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (ULS).Results: 58% of the older adults were between the ages of 60-69, 47% were women, 64% were married, and their mean GDS-SF score was 4.1 (standard deviation 3.4). It has been determined that factors related to socio-demographic characteristics as well as factors related to pre-pandemic health status and factors related to the negative effects of the disease on health have a decisive effect on depression in older adults during the pandemic process (p<0.05).Conclusion: Depression in older adults is under the influence of many other factors that made them vulnerable even before the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than the direct effects of the pandemic. Accordingly, the older adults who live alone are a high-risk group.Öğe Perceptions of forest product businesses employees in Turkey regarding occupational health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic(Ios Press, 2024) Kirklikci, Ahmet Bora; Bayram, SerapBACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably brought up the issue of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) for businesses in Turkey. In this global pandemic, strategies developed to effectively address OHS risks and eliminate them with reliable, high-quality data have gained importance. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the perceptions of employees in the forest products industry in Turkey regarding the OHS during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHOD: The sample of the descriptive and analytical study consisted of a total of 371 employees in forest product businesses located in Turkey. The sample of the study was determined by the purpose-based sampling method. Data were collected both online and face-to-face from June 2022 to October 2022. The data were obtained using the Questionnaire of Employee and Business Characteristics and the Scale of Employees' Perceptions on the OHS (S-POHS) adapted by Ozden (2022). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and calculated by descriptive analyses, pairwise comparison tests and multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS: 39.1% of the employees with a mean age of 34.12 +/- 8.78 years are high school graduates and 61.5% are workers. Significant differences were found in the S-POHS average scores of the employees in the businesses that produce paper-cardboard, have operated for less than 20 years, have a partnership structure with foreign capital and have an OHS Management System Quality Certificate (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: While a positive OHS perception level has already been achieved in the forest products industry in business administrations and by employees, it is clear that this should not be lost and it should be prepared for the next crises by adding new applications.Öğe Perceptions of nursing students about individuals with obesity problems: Belief, attitude, phobia(Wiley, 2021) Usta, Esra; Bayram, Serap; Altinbas Akkas, OzlemPurpose This study aimed to determine the beliefs, attitudes, and phobias of nursing students about obese individuals. Design and Method This descriptive and cross-sectional study involved 658 students from the nursing department of a Turkish university. Data collection tools were the Fat Phobia Scale (FPS), Turkish Attitudes toward the Obese Persons Scale (T-ATOP), and Turkish Beliefs about Obese Persons Scale (T-BAOP). Findings Students had moderate levels of fat phobia and attitudes towards obese individuals and they believed obesity is controlled by individuals. Practical Implications Fat phobic attitudes of nursing students should be prevented and positive beliefs and attitudes should be developed.Öğe Uzun Süreli Kurumsal Bakım Alan Yaşlılarda Ajitasyon Davranışlarının ve Etkileyen Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi(Istanbul Univ-Cerrahapasa, 2019) Bayram, Serap; Usta, Esra; Akkaş, Özlem Altınbaş; Şık, TuğçeAmaç: Ajitasyon kurumsal bakım alan yaşlılarda yaygındır. Özellikle demanslı hastalar için önemli bir problemdir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı bir ilde uzun süreli kurumsal bakım alan yaşlıların ajitasyon davranışlarının ve etkileyen faktörlerle ilişkisinin belirlenmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve analitik türdedir. Araştırmanın evrenini, İl Aile ve Sosyal Politikalar Müdürlüğüne bağlı üç kurumsal bakım merkezinde yaşayan yaşlı bireyler oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada örneklem yöntemine gidilmeyip, örneklem grubuna 60 yaş ve üzeri, kendisi ve yakını tarafından çalışmaya katılmasına olur verilen 178 yaşlı birey alınmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Eylül-Kasım 2018 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyo-demografik soru formu, Cohen-Mansfield Ajitasyon Envanteri (CMAE), Mini-Cog Kısa Bilişsel Değerlendirme Formu, Barthel Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri İndeksi (BGYA), Lawton&Brody Enstrümantal Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri Ölçeği (EGYA) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan yaşlıların yaş ortalaması 75.58±8.77 olup %56.7’si erkektir. Bulundukları kurumda bakım alma süresi 23.48±24.46 aydır. Yaşlıların %50.6’sının psikiyatrik tanısı bulunmaktadır. Demanslı yaşlıların CMAE puan ortalaması 46.26±15.10 olup demansı olmayanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir (Z=-2.132, p=0.033). Mini-Cog puan değerlendirmesine göre bilişsel bozulma olasılığı yüksek olarak belirlenen yaşlıların CMAE puan ortalaması 46.04±15.77 olup düşük bilişsel bozulma olasılığı olanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir (Z=-4.137, p=0.000). Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçları demanslı hastalarda ajitasyonun yüksek olduğunu, demansla birlikte seyreden bilişsel bozulmanın ajitasyon üzerinde önemli bir etki gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur.Öğe Validity and reliability of the pictorial pediatric symptom checklist(Kare Publishing, 2020) Ardıç, Elif; Ünsal, Gül; Bayram, SerapObjectives: This study was conducted methodologically to adapt the Pictorial Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PPSC) into Turkish and test its validity and reliability. The adaptation of the PPSC into Turkish will ensure the early diagnosis at risk children aged 6–16, directing families and children to necessary health institutions in a timely manner for detailed diagnosis and treatment; it shall also mean that nationwide studies can be conducted at a lower cost, as well as more effectively and more easily. Methods: This methodological study was completed using 799 parents whose children, aged 6–16 years, were studying in two different primary schools in Istanbul. Results: Content and construct validity were used to validate the PPSC, while internal consistency and test-invariance technique were used for reliability. The Content Validity Index was found to be 92.2%. Within the item-total correlations, only one item’s correlation (item 20) was found to be below 0.30 and it was removed from the scale. Thus, the factor analysis of the scale was applied to a total of 34 items. A four-factor structure emerged as a result of the factor analysis and the factor loadings of the items were found to be between 0.33 and 0.72. The total variance of the four-factor structure is 37.63%. The Cronbach alpha value of the PPSC was calculated as 0.89. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the PPSC was found to be a valid and reliable surveying tool that provides the opportunity to examine children’ psychosocial and behavioral problems. © 2020 by Journal of Psychiatric Nursing.Öğe Validity and reliability of the Pictorial Pediatric Symptom Checklist(2020) Ardıç, Elif; Bayram, Serap; Ünsal, GülObjectives: This study was conducted methodologically to adapt the Pictorial Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PPSC)into Turkish and test its validity and reliability.
