Öğe Factors affecting daily instrumental activities of the elderly(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2015) Sahin, Ayfer; Tekin, Oguz; Cebeci, Sevsen; Isik, Bunyamin; Ozkara, Adem; Kahveci, Rabia; Canbal, MetinBackground/aim: In order to determine elderly people's capabilities in daily activities, we evaluated the factors that may affect their daily instrumental activities. Materials and methods: We performed an observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study on 101 patients above 60 years of age in 2008 and 2009. We applied the Lawton Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL) scale, the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (SMMSE), and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) during one-on-one interviews with the patients. Demographic data and disability levels were also recorded. These data were used to evaluate the possible effects of factors on the IADL scale. Results: Statistical analyses indicated that total scores of instrumental activities are affected negatively by increased age, female sex, and literacy (P < 0.001, P = 0.005, and P = 0.021), whereas scores are affected positively by educational level (P = 0.047). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that increased age, sex, literacy, and education levels influence elderly people's daily instrumental activities. Daily functional activities and factors influencing these activities should be determined in order to increase elderly people's quality of life and independence. It is important to evaluate elderly people's capabilities in daily activities.Öğe Relationship between internet addiction and alexithymia among university students(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2016) Baysan-Arslan, Seher; Cebeci, Sevsen; Kaya, Mehmet; Canbal, MetinPurpose: Epidemiological studies concerning internet addiction found that 50% of internet addicts also have other kinds of psychiatric disorders. This study aims to examine the relationship between alexithymia and internet addiction levels among Turgut Ozal University students in Ankara, Turkey. Method: University students (1,107 students; 452 students from 12 associate degree programs and 655 students from 10 undergraduate programs) participated in the study. The researchers used the personal information form, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the Internet Addiction Scale. The approval for the current study was received from the Turgut Ozal University Medical Faculty Clinical Studies Ethics Committee. Results: The number of the alexithymic students was 12.5% whereas the number of the students who were internet addicts was 13.5%. The internet addiction scores were higher among alexithymic individuals than the non-alexithymic (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference in internet addiction average scores between male and female students (p = 0.001). 'Difficulty identifying feeling' scores were higher among females whereas externally oriented thinking' scores were higher among males. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that the internet addiction scores were significantly higher among alexithymic individuals than those who are non-alexithymic. The most obvious reason for this relationship may that alexithymic individuals try to regulate their emotional moods through addictive behavior. There is a need for more comprehensive studies on this subject in the literature.Öğe Simulation Training for Nursing Students for Lung and Cardiac Auscultation(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2015) Arslan, Muzeyyen; Altun, Sibel; Basal, Gozde; Dede, Kubra; Demircelik, Muhammet B.; Canbal, Metin; Cebeci, SevsenPurpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of simulation training in nursing students on the skill of lungs and cardiac auscultation. Methods: The majority (n=70; 85%) of sophomore students attending the Turgut Ozal University, School of Nursing enrolled in the study. Students were divided into two groups: intervention (simulation training) and control (tradition training methods). Stratified sampling method, according to students' grade point averages (GPA), was used to provide homogeneous distribution of experimental and control groups. Survey forms and auscultation skill control lists were designed by the researchers and were used as knowledge collection tools. Results: The average age of the students was 20.5 (min 19, max 34) years and average of these students' grades was 2.5 (min 1.65, max.3.83) points out of 4.0. Knowledge and skill scores for lung and cardiac auscultation were evaluated before and after the simulator training period for both intervention and control groups. Cardiac-lung auscultation knowledge scores improved statistically significantly in both groups (p<0.05). Skill scores increased in both groups immediately after the simulator training period and two months later. No statistical difference was observed in the skill scores (p>0.05) Conclusions: Simulation training contributes to nursing students' education in terms of development of their skills.Öğe The effect of sleep deprivation on heart rate variability in shift and non-shift physicians(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2015) Cebeci, Sevsen; Canbal, Metin; Yuksel, Ramazan; Cetin, Medine; Caliskan, Yasemin; Dane, SenolPurpose: Higher LF/HF ratio and lower heart rate variability have been reported among shift compared with non-shift workers. We aimed to investigate the possible harmful effects of sleep deprivation on cardiac rhythm, specifically heart rate variability (HRV), in work shift physicians. Patients and Methods: Eighty seven healthy male physicians participated in this study. The present study was done in Ankara, Turkey, from January to September 2014. Work shift (sleep deprivation) group (n=45) remained awake for 26 h. Non-work shift group slept in their homes. ECG (HRV) was applied at 9 am for both shift and non-shift groups. Results: Almost all HRV parameters, except LF/HF, decreased in the work shift group compared with the non-shift group. Conclusions: Sleep deprivation due to work shift may cause sympathovagal imbalances by affecting the biological rhythm.
