Background: There is little research on the long-term outcomes of radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and cyanoacrylate embolization. This study retrospectively examined the clinical results of radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and cyanoacrylate embolization methods. Materials and Methods: The population of the study consisted of 1256 patients who applied to the clinic with the diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency between the specified dates and were treated with endovenous varicose veins. Sample: 431 patients in the cyanoacrylate embolization group, 230 patients in the radiofrequency ablation group, 412 patients in the endovenous laser ablation group, a total of 1073 patients. Bilateral cyanoacrylate embolization, radiofrequency ablation, and endovenous laser ablation were not applied to the patients in the same session. Results: When the 1-year occlusion rates were examined, it was determined as 97.57%, 98.26%, and 95.59% in the endovenous la...

Çocuk istismarı, bir çocuğa yetişkin tarafından fiziksel veya psikolojik olarak kötü muamele uygulanması şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. Kısa ve uzun dönemde çok çeşitli fiziksel, ruhsal ve sosyal sonuçlara yol açan çocuk istismarı dünya çapında yaygın önemli bir sorundur. Çocukların hayatında geri dönülmez yaralar açan ve yaşamları boyunca etkileri devam eden bir süreçtir. Çocuk istismarının biyopsikososyal risk ve koruyucu faktörleri; çocuğa ilişkin, ailesel, sosyal ve toplumsal boyutlarda ele alınmaktadır. COVID-19 salgını çocukları istismar için yüksek risk altına sokan sayısız sosyo-ekonomik stres faktörünü ve eşitsizliği gündeme getirmiştir. COVID-19’un yayılımını önlemek amacıyla yüz yüze eğitime ara verilmesi ve çocukların sosyal ve ev dışı faaliyetlerine kısıtlamalar getirilmesi ile yaşanan sosyal izolasyon çocuk istismarı için önemli bir risk faktörünü oluşturmaktadır. Bu süreçte çocuğun bakım yükü ve evde geçirilen sürenin artması, yaşanan ekonomik güvensizlik, yoksulluk, gele...

Background: Sexuality is an important component of marriage. Individuals with visual disability tend to experience more sexual problems, which could deteriorate their marriage relationships and cause difficulties in establishing and maintaining sexual relationships. Aims: This study aims to evaluate marital adjustment and sexual functions in individuals with visual disability. Subjects and Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 95 individuals with visual disability who were members of a relevant private association in Turkey and met the inclusion criteria. The sample size was calculated using the sample with a known population approach. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Form, the Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS), and the Golombok–Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). The data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Dunn's test, and the Spearman's Rho Correlation Analysis.Results: The mean scores for the MAS and the GRISS were 48.0 (23–60) and 51.5 (17–72), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of individuals with visual disability and their spouses in the MAS by their age (P < 0.05). The subscales of the GRISS (except for frequency and communication) indicated that men with visual disability had problems regarding impotence, premature ejaculation, sensuality, avoidance, and satisfaction subscales. There was a statistically significant and negative relationship between the marital adjustment total scores of the males with visual disability and their scores in the avoidance, satisfaction, frequency, and communication subscales (P < 0.05; P < 0.01). Conclusion: The participants were found to have good marital adjustment. However, males with visual disability had a low level of sexual problems.

Aim: To determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of “Cardiovascular Limitations and Symptoms Profile” in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Material and Methods: The universe of this research consisted of patients with acute coronary syndrome who applied to the Cardiology Clinic of the State Hospital between April 2011 and September 2011 and who received treatment. Internal consistency and time invariance (test-retest correlation) methods were used in the analysis of reliability. The validity of the scale was assessed in terms of language, criterion-related validity and discriminant validity, and construct validity. Results: In our study the Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.92, and the item-total correlation of the statements in the scale was equal to or higher than the limit value of 0.20. At the end of the analysis of language, criterion and discriminant validity; it was determined that the scale was comprehensible for patients and valid for measuring physical...

Background: Varicose vein is a problem that is frequently faced by all health professionals. The main objective in the treatment of varicose veins in the lower extremities is to eliminate symptoms of the patient such as pain, itching, burning, heaviness, bleeding and ulceration (if any) by considering aesthetic concerns. It is very important to inform patients about the treatment of varicose veins and to direct them. We aimed to determine the impact and success rate of EVLA that holds an important place in the treatment of symptomatic varicose veins on the symptoms and complications. Methods: EVLA was applied to 194 patients that have no contraindication for EVLA between June 2012- April 2014. Bilateral EVLA was applied to 55 patients. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were evaluated before EVLA. Before EVLA symptoms connected with varicose veins, after EVLA symptoms of varicose veins and complications which are dependent on EVLA were evaluated in the fir...

The Effect of Breathing Exercise on Fatigue and Stress in Patients with Coronary Artery Diseases: A Randomized Controlled Trial Complementary and alternative medicine methods, when used in addition to medical treatments, increase the physical and mental well-being of patients. This study was planned to examine the effects of breathing exercises, which are a complementary and alternative medicine method, on the stress and fatigue levels of patients with coronary artery disease. The study was planned as a randomized, controlled, and experimental study. A patient identification form, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Piper Fatigue Scale were used in data collection. In the experimental group, the rate of phase 1-3 hypertension fell to 8.4% in the second monitoring from 30.0% (p<0.05).

Purpose: This descriptive study was carried out to reveal the level of physical activity in patients who receive hemodialysis due to chronic kidney failure and to identify its relationship with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Material and method: The study was conducted with 55 patients at the hemodialysis units of Alanya State Hospital and Private Alanya Anadolu Hospital between 10 and 30 June 2013. The study data were collected using the National Cholesterol Education Program, the Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III), a data collection form containing Metabolic Syndrome Diagnosis Criteria, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The data were analyzed using arithmetic mean ± standard deviation (SD), number and percentage distributions, independent sample t test, crosstabs, One Way Anova, and Pearson’s Correlation Analysis. Results: It was found that 41.8% of the patients were between 50 and 65 years of age, the majority of them were male (58.2%), hemodialysis had been administered to 69.1% of them for at least 36 months, and 50.9% of them met three and more of the MetS criteria. There was no statistically significant relationship between MetS and physical activity levels, but the length of physical activity was longer in those who did not meet the MetS diagnosis criteria (p>0.05). An increase in sedentary time raised the MetS criteria (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nearly 1/2 of the patients were at risk of MetS. Physical activity level being statistically ineffective on MetS can be associated with low physical activity level and longer sedentary time. It can be said that being completely sedentary increases BMI and therefore MetS. The study can be repeated on different samples and the results can be compared.
