Öğe Evaluation of the effectiveness of a health literacy education program during the pandemic(Marmara Univ, Fac Medicine, 2022) Kurt Sezer, Hilal; Yorulmaz, Deniz Sumeyye; Kucukoglu, SibelObjectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of a health literacy education program on first and emergency aid students during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: This study adopted a single group pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of 135 students of the First and Emergency Aid Program of a private university in Konya, Turkey No sampling was performed because we could reach the entire study population. Therefore, the sample consisted of 114 students. Participants attended a health literacy education program (intervention). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a personal information form and the Health Literacy Scale (HLS). Number, percentage, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. The study adhered to all ethical principles. Results: Participants had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score (117 +/- 5.03) than the pre-test score (105 +/- 11.50) (p <0.05). Participants with a high income had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those with a low income (p <0.05). Participants covered by insurance had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who were not (p <0.05). Participants who did regular exercise had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05). Participants who knew about health literacy before the intervention had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05). Conclusion: The education program helped participants learn more about health literacy. Therefore, universities should integrate it into their curricula.Öğe The development of The Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale: A validity and reliability study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Yorulmaz, Deniz Sumeyye; Sezer, Hilal Kurt; Kucukoglu, SibelObjective: It is common for parents to shoulder the burden of care for their children with chronic diseases. However, there are no robust scales to measure the burden of care of parents of children with epilepsy. This study aimed to develop the Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale (ESPBS) and evaluate its psychometric properties.Materials and methods: This was a methodological study. The sample consisted of 333 voluntary parents of children with epilepsy. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v. 25) at a significance level of p < .05. Content validity, item-total correlation, explanatory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the upper- and lower-27 percent rule, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and the split-half reliability method were used for psychometric analysis.Results: The scale consisted of 15 items and two subscales. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was 0. 961, for which Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant (X-2 = 5079.527, p < .001), indicating sampling adequacy and correlation between the items for factor analysis. The scale had item-total item correlations of 0.311 to 0.741. The Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed a two-factor structure. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, x2/df, GFI, AGFI, CFI, and RMSEA were 2.012, 0.93, 0.91, 0.97, and 0.055, respectively. These values were very close to a good fit. The items had factor loadings of 0.508 to 0.890. The total scale explained 60.432% of the total variance. The scale had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93. The split-half reliability indicated a significant (p < .001) and high (r = 0.890) correlation.Conclusion: The Epileptic Seizure Parental Burden Scale (ESPBS) has high psychometric properties. It is a valid and reliable instrument that can measure the epileptic seizure burden of parents of children with epilepsy.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
