Öğe Factors Effecting Job Satisfaction Among Academic Staff(Galenos Publ House, 2011) Dagdeviren, Nezih; Musaoglu, Zeliha; Omurlu, Imran Kurt; Oztora, SerdarObjective: In this paper, we aimed to investigate the job satisfaction levels of all the academic staff in Trakya University, along with their socioeconomic features. Material and Methods: We used a questionnaire including the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form. Frequency tables, cross tabulations, Pearson Chi-square, Exact Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's Multiple Comparison and Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of 560 participants was 33.86 +/- 7.33 years, of whom 47% (n=263) were female and 53% (n=297) male. Of the participants, the mean levels were 63.06 +/- 10.96 for general, 44.79 +/- 7.49 for intrinsic, and 18.27 +/- 4.64 for extrinsic job satisfaction. 85.4% of the academic staff (n=478) had a moderate level of satisfaction, whereas 14.6% (n=82) had a higher level. There was a significant relationship between income and job satisfaction levels. With the CHAID analysis, it was determined that job satisfaction had a relationship with age, educational status, total years of service and years of service in the current department. Conclusion: Job satisfaction can reflect the general emotional status of employees. It has a greater importance for the jobs that can affect the extraoccupational lives directly and require constant devotion. Employers should take some measures to increase job satisfaction in order to improve efficiency.Öğe Migraine headaches among university students using id migraine test as a screening tool(Bmc, 2011) Oztora, Serdar; Korkmaz, Osman; Dagdeviren, Nezih; Celik, Yahya; Caylan, Ayse; Top, Mehmet S.; Asil, TalipBackground: Migraine is a significant health problem, especially for the young people, due to its frequency and accompanying morbidity, causing disability and loss of performance. In this study, our aim was to determine the prevalence of migraine headaches among university students in Edirne, a Turkish city. Methods: In this cross-sectional and descriptive study, study population was composed of students registered to Trakya University in the academic year of 2008-2009. Out of these, 3694 of them accepted to participate. Participants who had two or more headaches in the last 3 months formed the headache group. Afterwards, two preliminary questions were applied to the headache group and participants with at least one affirmative response were asked to perform the validated ID-Migraine (TM) test. Results: The mean age of 3694 students participated in the study was 19.23 +/- 1.84 (17-39 years), with adolescents: adult ratio being 2.5:1. 1613 students (43.7%) did have at least two headaches in the last three months. Migraine-type headache was detected in 266 subjects (7.2%) based on the ID-Migraine T test. Of the migraine group, 72 were male (27.1%) and 194 were female (72.9%). There was no significant difference in migraine prevalence between adolescent and adult age groups. Conclusions: With a prevalence similar to adults, primary care physicians should be aware of the probability of migraine headaches in university students in order to maintain a successful school performance.Öğe Prevalence and Clinical Features of Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease in Western Turkey(Turkish Neuropsychiatry Assoc-Turk Noropsikiyatri Dernegi, 2022) Guler, Sibel; Caylan, Ayse; Turan, Nesrin; Dagdeviren, NezihIntroduction: We aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) in Western Turkey, which encompasses Edirne and its surrounding districts. Methods: In this study, 9887 individuals, able to communicate and agreed to participate in the study, were evaluated. The data was obtained by answering a face-to-face questionnaire consisting of 53 questions from volunteers living at 30 randomly selected family health centers in Edirne and its counties. The questionnaire included demographic information, questions to evaluate potential concomitant conditions, and questions regarding the symptomatology used in IPD diagnosis. Following the questionnaire, it was planned to determine the degree of IPD with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and the Hoehn and Yahr scale (HY) clinical rating scale in patients diagnosed with IPD to assess disease severity in patients diagnosed with IPD Results: Of the 9887 individuals, 118 were diagnosed with IPD according to the questionnaire results from Edirne and its districts, and the prevalence of IPD was 1.2%. Approximately, 58.4% of the patients with IPD were male and 41.6% were female, which was not significantly different (p=0.214). Non-motor symptoms such as difficulty urinating, anxiety, depression, fatigue, REM sleep behavior disorder, and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep were also examined in patients diagnosed with IPD. Depression was identified in 45.7% of the cases, while the control group was 4.3% (p=0.001). Fatigue was identified in 46.8% of the cases and control group was 3.5% (p=0.002). Conclusions: IPD prevalence studies will increase the awareness in the community and provide early diagnosis and treatment as well as serve as a basis to increased life expectancy, reduce morbidity, and improve life quality.Öğe The prevalence of essential tremor in Edirne and its counties accompanied comorbid conditions(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Guler, Sibel; Caylan, Ayse; Turan, F.

The Turkish Board of Family Medicine wanted to pursue a realistic and structured approach in the design of the specialty training programme. This approach required the development of a needs-based core curriculum built on evidence obtained from residents about their needs for specialty training and their needs in the current infrastructure. The aim of this study was to obtain evidence on residents' opinions and views about Family Medicine specialty training. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The board prepared a questionnaire to investigate residents' views about some aspects of the education programme such as duration and content, to assess the residents' learning needs as well as their need for a training infrastructure. The questionnaire was distributed to the Family Medicine Departments (n = 27) and to the coordinators of Family Medicine residency programmes in state hospitals (n = 11) by e-mail and by personal contact. Results: A total of 191 questionnaires were returned. The female/male ratio was 58.6%/41.4%. Nine state hospitals and 10 university departments participated in the study. The response rate was 29%. Forty-five percent of the participants proposed over three years for the residency duration with either extensions of the standard rotation periods in pediatrics and internal medicine or reductions in general surgery. Residents expressed the need for extra rotations (dermatology 61.8%; otolaryngology 58.6%; radiology 52.4%). Fifty-nine percent of the residents deemed a rotation in a private primary care centre necessary, 62.8% in a state primary care centre with a proposed median duration of three months. Forty-seven percent of the participants advocated subspecialties for Family Medicine, especially geriatrics. The residents were open to new educational methods such as debates, training with models, workshops and e-learning. Participation in courses and congresses was considered necessary. The presence of a department office and the clinical competency of the educators were more favored by state residents. Conclusions: This study gave the Board the chance to determine the needs of the residents that had not been taken into consideration sufficiently before. The length and the content of the programme will be revised according to the needs of the residents.Öğe Sexual Activity Trends of Turkish Adolescents(Ortadogu Ad Pres & Publ Co, 2011) Dagdeviren, Nezih; Set, Turan; Akturk, Zekeriya; Oztora, SerdarObjective: To evaluate the sexual activity behaviors of Turkish adolescents at the transition period from high school to university, a prospective study was conducted inquiring the sexual activity patterns of adolescents applying to different programs of Trakya University in Edirne, Turkey. Material and Methods: All applicants were invited between 2001-2004. There were 16203 participants (3445, 3559, 5402, and 3797, respectively in the years studied) included. Data were analyzed using the Chi Square test. Results: 27.8% of the participants had at least one sexual intercourse (49.2% of the boys and 3.2% of the girls). Sexual activity rate gradually increased between 2001 and 2003, and declined to the 2001 values in 2004 (26.3%, 27.9%, 29.7% and 26.2% respectively). This difference was statistically significant (chi(2): 17.653, p< 0.01). Conclusion: Beginning sexual activity at early adolescence increases the importance some problems including unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. The fact that sexual activity among male adolescents is approximately 15 times more than their girl peers can be attributed to the approach of Turkish culture to sexuality and gender. While augmenting sexual education programs in undergraduate education, this gender difference and cultural factors should be further evaluated in order to reveal possible protective variables for adolescents.Öğe Tibial intercondylar eminence fractures in adults(Springer, 2010) Kavalci, Cemil; Dagdeviren, Nezih; Durukan, Polat; Cevik, Yunsur[Abstract Not Available]
