Öğe A study on the relationship between orthorexia and lateral thinking using machine learning(Reial Acad Medicina Illes Balears, 2024) Ozden, Gurkan; Aktur, Seher Cevik; Saritas, Seyhan Citlik; Seri, Emine KaplanIntroduction and objectives: Orthorexia, one of the most important health problems today, is an unhealthy attachment to a healthy diet. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lateral thinking disposition and orthorexia using classical statistical methods and machine learning. Material and methods: This descriptive study was conducted between June and October 2020 with nursing students at a college in eastern Turkey. Relationship between lateral thinking and orthorexia and agreement between classical statistical methods and machine learning methods. Results: BMI, gender, predisposition to lateral thinking, and family income were identified as important predictors of orthorexia. The deep learning algorithm provided more efficient results than the regression analysis and other machine learning algorithms (accuracy=66.0%, AUC=0.71). Conclusions: In eating disorder studies, such as ON, machine learning can help interpret complex relationships more accurately.Öğe Digital distraction vs. frozen relief: Battling pain and anxiety in type 2 diabetes, a randomized controlled trial(Elsevier, 2025) Aktura, Seher Cevik; Saritas, Seyhan CitlikObjective: This study aims to examine the effects of virtual reality and ice application on pain and anxiety levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

METHOD: A descriptive and relationship-oriented study was performed with 322 individuals who experienced the February 6, 2023, earthquake in Turkey. Data were collected between February 20 and May 15, 2023. A personal information form, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) were used for data collection. RESULTS: Participants'mean DAS score was 7.96 (SD = 1.05), and mean PSQI score was 8.74 (SD = 4.06). Statistically significant relationships were found between sex, marital status, and mean DAS score, and these variables accounted for 11.7% of the total variance. Similarly, statistically significant relationships were found among economic status, relationship to person trapped under the rubble, financial loss from the earthquake, and mean PSQI score, accounting for 11.3% of the total variance. Women and married people had greater fear of death, and those with good economic status, whose family members were buried under rubble, and who experienced financial loss as a result of the earthquake had lower sleep quality. CONCLUSION:The earthquake led to moderate fear of death and poor sleep quality among participants. Findings highlight the need for targeted support for vulnerable groups following disasters.

Non-pharmacological interventions such as warm foot baths may offer supportive benefits. This study aimed to examine the effects of warm foot baths on sleep quality, fatigue, and constipation severity in patients with stroke. METHODS:A pretest-post-test control group design was used. The study was conducted between September 2024 and June 2025 with patients hospitalized for stroke at the neurology clinic of a training and research hospital in Eastern Turkey. The study population consisted of patients diagnosed with stroke who were followed up at the aforementioned unit during the study period. The 96 participants included 51 in the experimental and 45 in the control group; based on an effect size of 0.60, alpha=0.05, and power=0.95. Data were collected using the Personal Identification Form, Fatigue Severity Scale, Constipation Severity Scale, and Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. The experimental group received a 20-minute warm foot bath 30 minutes before bedtime for 1 week, whereas the control group received routine care only. RESULTS:Foot baths did not significantly reduce fatigue compared with the control group. However, significant improvements were observed in constipation severity and sleep quality in the experimental group (P<0.001). CONCLUSION:Warm foot baths were effective in reducing constipation severity and improving sleep quality in patients with stroke. The results suggest that foot baths can be considered a supportive and feasible complementary care approach for managing symptoms in patients with stroke. These findings support the use of non-pharmacological interventions in stroke rehabilitation.
