Öğe CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF SCOLIOSIS IN PHYSIOTHERAPISTS AND PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS TRAINED IN TURKEY(Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2022) Akgul, Hakan; Kilic, Berivan Beril; Selcuk, Halit; Aydin, Nimet Sermenli; Mete, Emel; Sari, Dilara Merve; Drake, ShawnPurpose: Present evidence suggests that early detection and correct management is an essential part of scoliosis treatment. Therefore, the physiotherapists and physiotherapy students must have adequate knowledge of scoliosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current knowledge of physiotherapists and physiotherapy students in Turkey on scoliosis. Methods: A previously designed questionnaire based on International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) guideline consists of two sections was used in this study. The first section included eight questions to evaluate the knowledge level on the definition, cause, development, prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, and bracing of scoliosis. The second section included three multiple-choice questions to analyze the participants' opinions on exercises for scoliosis. All Turkish universities offering physiotherapy degrees and graduated physiotherapists from certain social media groups were invited to participate in the study. Results: 649 physiotherapists and 497 students completed the questionnaire. Scoliosis is recognized as a 3-dimensional deformity of the spine by 39.8% of the students and 57.2% of the physiotherapists. Only 19.5% of the students and 30.7% of the physiotherapists correctly identified the diagnostic criteria for scoliosis. For therapeutic exercise, 48.7% of the students and 61.3% percent of the physiotherapists identified the appropriate approach, and also 57.3% of the students and 62.6% of the physiotherapists correctly identified the bracing recommendations. Conclusion: Results of this study showed that physiotherapists and physiotherapy students do not have sufficient knowledge of scoliosis. Action needs to be taken to improve the awareness and basic knowledge level of scoliosis.Öğe Perceived occupational competence and value among university students with premenstrual dysphoric disorder(Sage Publications Ltd, 2022) Pekcetin, Serkan; Ozdinc, Sevgi; Ata, Hilal; Can, Hilal Basak; Aydin, Nimet Sermenli; Durmus, Pelin Tas; Caliyurt, OkanIntroduction Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is defined as a mental health issue and is assessed using DSM-V diagnostic criteria. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder comprises emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms that occur in the premenstrual phase and resolve shortly after the start of menstruation. These symptoms and functional impairment may negatively affect occupational competence and value. This study investigated perceived occupational competence and value in university students with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed at a public university with 35 students with PMDD and 35 age-matched students without PMDD. Occupational competence and value were evaluated using the Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA). Results There was a significant difference between the groups in OSA competence score (p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in OSA value score (p > 0.05). Conclusion This study demonstrated that university students with PMDD experience more occupational competence challenges than peers without PMDD. Further studies should be performed to determine the role of occupational therapy in the rehabilitation of PMDD.Öğe Primary dysmenorrhea and postural control: Is it a problem only during menstruation?(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2021) Keklicek, Hilal; Aydin, Nimet Sermenli; Can, Hilal Basak; Aydin, Didem Donmez; Kayatekin, Ayse Zeynep Yilmazer; Ulucam, EnisBackground: The effects of the menstrual cycle and primary dysmenorrhea (PD) on phase-related cognitive and physical functions are controversial. This study was carried out to examine whether women with PD showed a different physical function or dual-tasking response than women without PD at times other than menstruation. Methods: Women with or without PD were recruited for the study. Individuals assessed on the first day of the menstruation and the day they reported themselves as well being (feeling good day-FGD). Zebris ? FDM Type Force Platform was used to evaluate postural stability. Individuals have were asked to perform to a 3-step balance test protocol; the first session: comfortable upright standing; the second session: standing with a motor task; the third session: standing with a cognitive task (counting backward). Correctly calculated numbers were also recorded. Results: The number of correct answers given by individuals during the cognitive dual-task was similar on the first day of menstruation and FGD (p 0,05). In the assessments performed on the first day of menstruation, there was no difference in any parameters between the groups (p 0.05). In the measurements made on FGD day with the cognitive task; there was a difference between the groups (p < 0,05). Individuals with PD had higher postural sway. Significance: This study showed that the primary dysmenorrhea is not only a problem for females during menstruation, primary dysmenorrhea causes impaired ability of the individual to perform dual-tasking and continuously affects postural stability.
