Öğe Effect of the metabolic syndrome on the quality of life and sleep in women(Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2021) Cirpan, Rabiye; Degirmencioglu, Arife Zuhal; Kocaoz, SemraPurpose: This study was conducted to determine the metabolic syndrome prevalence in women and evaluate its effect on the quality of life and sleep. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was completed with 372 women. Data were collected using a descriptive questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the SF 36 Quality of Life Scale.. Results: The metabolic syndrome prevalence in women was 41.9%, according to the International Diabetes Federation diagnostic criteria. The mean scores obtained from the sleep quality index by those with metabolic syndrome were significantly higher than those without metabolic syndrome. The median scores obtained from the physical function and role difficulty, pain, general health perception, and mental summary sub-dimensions of the SF-36 quality of life scale by the women who were found to have metabolic syndrome were lower than those without metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome was found to be common in women and to affect the quality of life and sleep negatively in women in this study. We, therefore, recommend women to be evaluated in terms of metabolic syndrome at regular intervals and healthcare professionals to provide training and consultancy services to promote healthy living behaviors that could improve their quality of life and sleep.Öğe Prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms and influencing factors in women(Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2021) Degirmencioglu, Arife Zuhal; Kocaoz, Semra; Cirpan, RabiyePurpose: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of LUTS in women and the influencing risk factors. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 377 women who presented to the internal medicine outpatient departments of a training and research hospital for examination. The data were collected with a questionnaire form and the Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms-Short Form (BFLUTS-SF). Results: The prevalence of at least one LUTS in women was 92.3%. A statistically significant relationship was found between the menopausal status, chronic cough, stress urinary incontinence (SUI) presence in the mother or sister, the presence of a large baby and SUI in a previous pregnancy, and the BFLUTS-SF total scores. Conclusion: We found that storage-related symptoms were most common in these women, and LUTS affected the sexual life and quality of life negatively. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the sensitivity of health professionals to this issue, and to raise the awareness of women about the risk factors, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of LUTS with future training.Öğe The effect of knowledge and health beliefs about colorectal cancer on screening behaviour(Wiley, 2019) Tas, Ferdane; Kocaoz, Semra; Cirpan, RabiyeAims and objectives To determine the effect of the knowledge and health beliefs of individuals about colorectal cancer on their screening behaviour. Background Colorectal cancer ranks third among the most common cancers both worldwide and in Turkey. Colorectal cancer plays an important role in cancer mortality but can be prevented by promoting healthy behaviour and participation in early screening programmes. Design This descriptive study was completed with 114 women and 121 men. Methods The study data were collected using the 'Data collection form' and 'Health Belief Model Scale for Protection from Colorectal Cancer'. Potential risk factors were investigated using logistic regression analyses. The AGREE checklist was completed. Results The colorectal cancer screening tests were known by 23.0% of the subjects and 17% had undergone one of these tests. The score medians obtained from the confidence-benefit subscale of Health Belief Model Scale for Protection from Colorectal Cancer were found to be significantly higher in those who had undergone colorectal cancer screening. Logistic regression analysis revealed that having knowledge of the relevant tests was associated with undergoing colorectal cancer screening. Conclusions Having knowledge on colorectal cancer screening tests increases the relevant confidence-benefit perception regarding the tests and the behaviour of participating in screening programmes. Regular training on colorectal cancer and early diagnosis should therefore be provided by healthcare professionals to both women and men aged 50-70 years to increase the rate of undergoing early screening tests. Relevance to clinical practice Increasing the rate of early screening is among the responsibilities of health workers working in primary health centres. Therefore, problems that prevent individuals from participating in these programmes need to be identified. In this way, health workers will develop suggestions and initiatives that change the individual's health beliefs and increase motivation.Öğe Urinary tract infections(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2023) Cirpan, RabiyeUrinary tract infections are common bacterial infections that can occur in any part of the urinary system.
