    (Univ Indonesia, 2021) Tahta, Mehtap Sahingoz; Balci, Elcin
    The people providing care for relatives always need support and accompaniment from their families and friends. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation among the care burden, mental health and social support perceptions of the patients' relatives that provide long-term care for patients receiving service from the home care service (HCS) unit in one city. This descriptive study was carried out with the relatives of patients receiving service from home health units. Among the relatives providing care for a total of 859 patients, those that did not comply with the inclusion criteria were excluded, which made a total population of 309 people. Individual information form, burden interview, brief symptom inventory and multidimensional scale of perceived social support were used for the assessment of the data. Descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. The result showed a positive moderate significant correlation among the burden score, brief symptom inventory subscale and global index scores while, a negative moderate significant correlation was discovered between the family, significant other and multidimensional scale of perceived social support scores. Consequently, as the perceived social support level in the patients' relatives providing care increased, their care burden and mental health problems decreased.

    (Nobel Ilac, 2021) Bayraktar, Muhammet; Balci, Elcin
    Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the causes of death written in death certificates with their compliance with the World Health Organization's criteria and the factors that affect them. Material and Method: For this descriptive, cross-sectional study using the record scanning method, a sample was not determined. All the 1656 death documents constituting the universe that were filled in for people who died in Nigde Province in the year 2015 were included in the study. The causes of death in documents without International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 were converted to the appropriate code and calculations then were made on the data. Necessary permissions were obtained for the study. Results: In 44.7% of death documents, the causes of death were written without using ICD-10 coding. The most common main causes of death were circulatory system diseases (45.4%), respiratory system diseases (14.4%) and neoplasms (10.3%). While 18.1% of causes of death were ill defined, 62.3% of them were diagnoses of the circulatory system. Nearly half of the unacceptable diagnoses (47.6%) were in the death certificates filed by 20 physicians and they were only 9.5% of all the physicians who issued the certificates. Conclusions: It will be appropriate to make the necessary interventions to make the ICD-10 usage mandatory while registering a document to the death notification system and to explain to the physicians the importance of the correct and detailed causes of deaths written in death certificates.
