Öğe Comparison of Nutritional Habits, Physical Activity Levels and Quality of Life among Normal Cognition Elderly Individuals Living in Nursing Homes or at Their Residence(Taiwan Soc Geriatric Emergency & Critical Care Medicine-Tsgecm, 2019) Duran, Sedef; Ozdinc, Sevgi; Celik, Ozge Mengi; Selcuk, Halit; Sonmez, Zehra SerayBackground: The process of ageing affects an individual's nutritional status, quality of life and physical activity level. This study aimed to compare these parameters among elderly individuals living either in nursing homes or at their residence. Methods: The study included 88 elderly individuals aged >= 65 years, 59 living at their residence and 29 in a official nursing home. The patients' sociodemographic characteristics, quality of life, physical activity levels, hand-grip strength and nutritional habits were evaluated. Results: The mean ages of those individuals living in nursing homes and at their own residence were 72.58 +/- 6.62 and 68.39 +/- 3.89 years, respectively. Those living in nursing homes skipped meals less frequently. Therefore, their energy and nutrient intake levels were significantly higher than in those living at their residence (p <0.05). Regarding quality of life, those living in nursing homes provided more favourable responses to questions regarding emotional role difficulties and social functioning subscales (p < 0.05). No difference was observed between the two groups in terms of physical activity levels and hand-grip strength (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Compared with those living at their residence, elderly individuals living in official nursing homes were less likely to skip meals and therefore had better energy and nutrient intake levels. They also demonstrated better quality of life in terms of social functioning subscales and emotional role difficulties.

This study was performed at Trakya University Hospital in Edirne, Turkey between December 15, 2016 and April 4, 2017. One hundred ten pregnant women were included in the study and randomly assigned to one of two groups. Sixty pregnant women received one face-to-face session of ergonomic education followed by three weekly sessions of telephone-supported ergonomic education (intervention group). Fifty pregnant women received only one session of standard face-to-face ergonomic education. Before and after the intervention, low back pain was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale. Pain-related disability was evaluated with the Oswestry Disability Index, and health-related quality of life was evaluated with the SF-36. Telephone-supported ergonomic education was more effective than standard ergonomic education and can be used as an effective solution for pregnancy-related low back pain.Öğe Effects of Masai Barefoot Technology Footwear Compared with Barefoot and Oxford Footwear on Gait(Amer Podiatric Med Assoc, 2021) Ozdinc, Sevgi; Ulucam, EnisBackground: Shoes, with their biomechanical features, affect the human body and function as clothing that protects the foot. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) shoes on gait in healthy, young individuals compared with bare feet and classic stable shoes. Methods: The study was conducted in 67 healthy females aged 18 to 30 years. All volunteers walked barefoot, in Oxford shoes, and in MBT shoes and were evaluated in the same session. Kinematic gait analyses were performed. The three performances were compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance to study the variance in the groups themselves, and the Friedman and Wilcoxon paired two-sample tests were used for the intragroup comparisons. Results: We found that the single support time and the swing phase ratio increased during walking in MBT shoes compared with walking in stable shoes, whereas the double support ratio, stride length, cadence, gait speed, loading response ratio, and preswing phase ratio decreased. However, it was found that the step and stride length, step width, and gait speed increased and the preswing phase extended during walking in stable shoes compared with walking barefoot. Conclusions: These results support the hypothesis that MBT shoes facilitate foot cycles as they reduce the loading response and the preswing and stance phase ratios.Öğe Evaluation of vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians(Ios Press, 2021) Selcuk, Halit; Ozdinc, Sevgi; Karahan, Menekse; Kayatekin, Ayse Zeynep Yilmazer; Ulucam, EnisBACKGROUND: It has been found that intense noise may affect the peripheral vestibular system and consequently causes problems in balance mechanisms. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to chronic noise on vestibular functions and balance in Edirne Band musicians. METHODS: Twenty-two individuals working in the Edirne Band for at least 5 years and a control group of 22 individuals working at Trakya University with similar sociodemographic characteristics were included. The socio-demographic questionnaire was used to inquire about the demographic characteristics of individuals, the ABC Scale to assess how they felt about the balance, and the DHI to determine the quality of life related to dizziness. A 3D ultrasonic system was used to assess the static and dynamic balance of the individuals. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between the band and the control group in terms of longitudinal deviation and self-spin parameters of the Unterberger test, dizziness handicap inventory scores, functional balance according to activity-specific balance confidence scale (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: As a result of our study, it has been shown that the balance, quality of life and vestibular system functions are negatively affected in the band exposed to noise for a long time.Öğe The Fear of Falling, Physical Activity, and Quality of Life in Elderly After COVID-19(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Goktas, Ayse; Inal, Ozgu; Ozkan, Esma; Ozdinc, SevgiThe COVID-19 negatively affected the physical and mental health of elderly due to pandemic-related restrictions. This study aimed to investigate the influences on fear of falling, physical activity level, and quality of life in older people living in the community after the COVID-19. Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) were used to study. One hundred fifty individuals older than 65 years. Results indicated that 69.3% of the individuals had fallen in the past 6 months. FES-I showed that the elderly had moderate FES-I (31.95 +/- 10.55), and PASE showed that this cohort had severe activity limitation (85.42 +/- 56.45) and low NHP (213.62 +/- 143.45). There was negative association between FES-I and PASE levels (rho = .000, r = -0.291) and a moderate negative association between. FES-I and NHP (rho = .000, r = 0.577). The variables for the number of falls and FES-I were included in the multiple linear regression analysis and model formed with FES-I that predicted PASE level was statistically significant. As a result, it is important to raise awareness about older individuals' concerns regarding falling to implement essential measures that can effectively alleviate such fears.. In this context, it is advisable to explore innovative clinical and policy strategies that can facilitate the seamless integration of interdisciplinary preventive care for vulnerable elderly individuals, with the overarching aim of enhancing their overall quality of life. Plain Language Summary - SO-23-1238 In the current study, it was determined that the fear of falling decreased the level of activity and negatively affected the quality of life. The current study, unlike the previous literature, was carried out after the removal of prohibitions such as the curfew related to Covid-19. For this reason, after these prohibitions, it provides new information about the fear of falling and the level of physical activity of elderly individuals. Studies on elderly individuals during the Covid-19 period provide limited information about the fear of falling and the level of physical activity of these individuals. It is important to increase the awareness of the elderly about the fear of falling, to determine the risks of falling and to take the necessary precautions to eliminate the fear of falling. The older ageing people can be educated in order to reduce the risk and fear of falling and to increase physical activity levels. It is possible to increase the social participation and physical activity levels of the older ageing by making environmental planning, not only indoors but also outdoors.Öğe Investigation of the effect of social support perceived by workplace employees on anxiety and job satisfaction during COVID-19(Ios Press, 2022) Goktas, Ayse; Ozdinc, SevgiBACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has become a major cause of stress and anxiety at work. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of the support provided to the employees by the workplaces about the depression, anxiety, stress, job satisfaction of the employees during the COVID-19. METHOD: The inclusion criterias were as follows: being between 18 and 65 years old, working at the time of the survey. The study self-administered included Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS), Organizational Support Perception Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS). RESULTS: In total, 260 people (mean age 38.17 +/- 14.9 years, 148 female) completed the survey. Extremely severe depression displayed on 39.9 %, extremely severe anxiety on 37.1%, and severe stress on 28.3% of the participants. Scores for depression (9.6 +/- 9.03), anxiety (7.2 +/- 7.04), stress (11.7 +/- 7.8) were also high for employees. It was observed that the average of organizational support score was 30.4 +/- 7.24, and the average job satisfaction score was 28.6 +/- 5.35. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between organizational support and job satisfaction (r = 0.562, p = 0.00). Considering the relationship between organizational support and DASS scale; there was negative correlation between (r =-0.161, p = 0.013). The results of the regression indicated that the model explained 32.9 % of the variance and that the model was a significant predictor, F (2,66)=117.145, p < 0.001. CONCLUSION: Organizational support are associated with a decline in mental health and job satisfaction. Health-promotion strategies directed at adopting or maintaining positive job organizational support-related behaviors should be utilized to address increases in psychological distress during the pandemic.Öğe Musculoskeletal problems and attitudes towards footwear among university students(Ios Press, 2019) Ozdinc, Sevgi; Unsar, Serap; Kostak, Melahat AkgunBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Footwear preferences and habits may be related to musculoskeletal system problems. This study was designed to determine the relationship between the selection of footwear, musculoskeletal problems and the affecting factors among university students from that different division. METHODS: Four hundred and sixty-six university students in the divisions of Physiotherapy Rehabilitation, Nursing and Business Administration participated in this study. The data was collected using a questionnaire developed by the researchers and the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. RESULTS: Of the participants, 68.5% preferred to wear sports shoes; 24.0% of the participants had foot pain. Comfort, robustness and quality come to the fore in the behavioural patterns of young and healthy individuals regarding footwear. Those who experienced foot and lower back pain considered such parameters as quality, fitness for foot health, flexibility and lightness in footwear. CONCLUSIONS: While patterns such as foot health, flexibility and lightness are reflected in the footwear preferences of those who have lower back pain, those who have pain or problems in their feet take into consideration the quality, lightness, fitness to foot health. The relationship determined in the present study shows that those who experience pain are more selective in their footwear preferences.Öğe Musculoskeletal problems in academicians and related factors in Turkey(Ios Press, 2019) Ozdinc, Sevgi; Kayabinar, Erdi; Ozen, Tugce; Turan, Fatma Nesrin; Yilmaz, SevilBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Musculoskeletal problems are a common health problem with professional and ergonomic features. This study's purpose was to investigate the musculoskeletal problems distribution and related factors among academicians. METHODS: This study was performed by using a personal and professional information questionnaire, the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form. RESULTS: The study was completed with 142 academicians (89 female, 53 male). Mean age was 39.91 +/- 8.90 years, physical activity level was 1067.31 +/- 1866.95 MET-minute/week, and work time was 13.73 +/- 9.15 years. Neck and lower back pain were mostly seen in academicians and their incidence was equal (63.4%). The most experienced pain the previous year was neck pain (39.4%), and upper back pain is the most experienced pain today (19%). The body part that mostly caused the use of medication is neck pain (23%), and mostly caused limitation and sick-leave was low back in the past 12 months (respectively 19.7% and 9.2%). Gender, body mass index, weekly workload, physical activity level, and marital status have been determined to have an effect on musculoskeletal problems in academicians (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The most common musculoskeletal problems reported by academicians were in the upper back and neck regions, which have low level physical activity.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 Temporomandibular joint disorder determined by Fonseca anamnestic index and associated factors in 18-to 27-year-old university students(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Ozdinc, Sevgi; Ata, Hilal; Selcuk, Halit; Can, Hilal Basak; Sermenli, Nimet; Turan, Fatma NesrinObjective The aim of this study was to investigate temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and associated risk factors. Methods This study was conducted using 212 university students. Based on the Fonseca anamnestic index, the population was divided into two groups: those with TMD and those without TMD. The two groups were compared in terms of global body posture, craniohorizontal and craniovertebral angles, neck and temporomandibular joint range of motion, stress level, and sleep quality. Results Stress level, sleep quality, and left cervical rotation were found to have statistical differences between the groups (p = 0.00, 0.00, and 0.046, respectively). Sleep quality and stress level were found to be important risk factors for the presence of TMD (p = 0.017 and 0.00, respectively). Discussion In the prevention and treatment of TMD, a holistic approach that evaluates mechanical factors and psychosocial factors should be adopted.Öğe Validity and reliability of the Turkish Orebro musculoskeletal pain screening questionnaire-short form(Ios Press, 2022) Ozdinc, Sevgi; Pekcetin, Serkan; Can, Hilal; Ata, Hilal; Suslu, Buket; Birtane, MuratBACKGROUND: The Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (OMPSQ) is one of the most recognized and widely used instruments for identifying the risk of pain chronicity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to provide the reliability and validity of the Turkish OMPSQ-Short Form (OMPSQSF). METHODS: Fifty-seven acute and subacute low back pain patients were included in the study. OMPSQ short form and long form, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaires were applied simultaneously for validation. The OMPSQ-SF was re-applied after 7-10 days to determine test-retest reliability. The data were analyzed by the paired-samples t test, correlation analysis, Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and confirmatory factor analysis. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 39.05 +/- 15.68 years. Cronbach's alpha was 0.723, and the ICC was 0.84. There were moderate to strong correlation among the OMPSQ-SF and the ODI, CSI, OMPSQ-long form, Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire work subscale (r = 0.72, r = 0.353, r = 0.648, r = 0.457 respectively). CONCLUSION: The results show that the Turkish version of the OMPSQ-SF is a valid and reliable questionnaire and could be used in clinical and scientific studies.
