Objective: Osteoporosis is a disease which causes fractures depending on decreasing bone mineral density. Nutrition and life style which support the bone health must be known for prevention of the disease. This study was conducted to assess awareness about OP between men and women. Materials and Methods: The study was performed between the dates November 2012-May 2014 in Denizli Pamukkale University. A form including sociodemographic features, Osteoporosis Knowledge Test (OKT) and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) were used in the collection of the data for evaluation the osteoporosis knowledge level and awarenes of the volunteers who accept to attend the study. Results: Hundred forty-seven volunteers of 96 women and 51 men attended to the study. Mean age was 36.1±14,6 years and 6.1% of the participants had a diagnosis osteoporosis and 13.6% of the participants had a family history of osteoporosis. When the participants were compared according to gender, there were statistically significant difference between two groups for education level, had own and a family history of osteoporosis (p<0,05). Men had higher education level than the women group. Women have higher own and familiy history of osteoporosis. When the scores of the questionnaires were compared between women and men, the mean score of the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale-Susceptibility score was 16.8±5.0 and 13.7±4.0, respectively. The women's score were higher than men (p<0.05). Significant difference wasn't found in the other subscales. Conclusion: Despite the high educational level of the men, it was detected that the level of the osteoporosis susceptibility was lower than women. High Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale level of women shows that women think osteoporosis is serious illness. Since the basic treatment approach was the prevention for osteoporosis, the education programs must be organized for either women who have high risk, or also for men to improve the awareness.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to examine the know-ledge, attitudes and behaviors of intern physicians about rational drug use and drug interactions and to increase their awareness. Materials and Methods: Data; the “physician evaluation questionnaire” and the “drug interactions knowledge level questionnaire” with the choice of true, false and I have no idea consisting of 20 correct statements prepared by the researcher were collected online. Results: 180 students participated in the study. 59 % of the participants were female and the mean age was 23,71± 0,72. Participants stated that their level of knowledge about drugs, drug interactions and bioequivalence was low. While taking the patient’s history; they questioned vitamin, food supplements (16,7 %; n = 30) and herbal medicine (22,2 %; n = 40) at least. The rate of those who wanted to receive training on rational drug use before graduation was 92,2 % (n = 166). The correct number of answers given to the drug interactions questionnaire is average 6,76 ± 5,57, wrong number avg. 1,29 ± 2,14, I have no idea number average. It was 11,86 ± 6,28. According to the survey, the knowledge level of physicians on drug interactions was very low (Crohnbach alpha value of 0,92). The mean number of false and no ıdea answers was significantly higher in those who received rational drug education (p = 0,027, p = 0,028). Conclusion: The formation of rational drug use awareness and the development of educational opportunities for the expansion of educational content and timing is required to be updated dynamically.

ÖzetAmaç: Çalışmadaki amacımız, (Symptom Check List-90) SCL-90 formu ile hastaları psikolojik semptom yönünden taramak, vitamin D düzeyinin semptomlara etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Materyal-Metot: Çalışmaya Nisan-Eylül 2018 tarihleri arasında, üniversite hastanesi Aile Hekimliği polikliniğine başvuran, ek psikiyatrik ve kronik hastalığı olmayan, daha önce D vitamini desteği almayan, normal vücut kitle indexine sahip 224 kişi dahil edildi. 154 kişide D vitamini <20ng/ mL iken, 70 kişide D vitamini >20ng/mL idi. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik özellikleri içeren anket yanında belirti tarama listesi SCL-90 formu uygulandı. Bulgular: Yaş, gelir düzeyi, güneşle temas süresi ve dini açıdan örtülü olma durumuyla D vit düzeyi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık tespit edildi (p<0,001, p=0,03, p=0,002, p<0,001). SCL-90 anketinde bulunan alt skorlar değerlendirildiğinde; D vitamini düzeyi ile genel şiddet skoru arasında anlamlı faklılık görülmezken, kişiler arası duyarlılık ve anksiyete puanları D vitamin düzeyi düşüklerde yüksek bulundu (p=0,16, p=0,03, p=0,01). D vitamin eksikliği olan grupta somatizasyon (r=-0,18, p=0,02), obsesif-kompulsif belirtiler (r=-0,21, p<0,001) ve fobik-anksiyete skorları (r=-0,17, p=0,03) ile D vitamin düzeyi arasında negatif korelasyon izlendi. Sonuç: D vitamin düzeyi ile psikiyatrik durumların ilişkisi tam olarak ortaya koyulamamakla birlikte, D vitamin düzeylerinin normal seviyede olması; anksiyete, somatizasyon, ve obsesifkompulsif bozukluklar gibi psikolojik durumlar açısından hastaların tedavilerine katkı sağlayabilir. Anahtar kelimeler: Vitamin D, Anksiyete, Depresyon. AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the psychological symptoms of patients with SCL-90 form and to determine the effect of vitamin D levels on symptoms. Material-Method: Between April and September 2018, 224 patients who were admitted to the Family Medicine outpatient clinic of university hospital included in the study. Persons with normal body mass index, were not previously vitamin D supplementary and no psychiatric and chronic disease. In 154 subjects, vitamin D was <20ng/mL, while in 70 subjects vitamin D was >20ng/mL. A questionnaire containing sociodemographic characteristics and SCR-90 questionnaire were applied to the participants. Results: Age, level of income, contact with sun, and hijab were statistically significant (p<0.001, p=0.03, p=0.002, p<0.001). When SCL-90 scores were evaluated, there was no significant difference between vitamin D level and general severity score, whereas the interpersonal sensitivity and anxiety scores of the subgroups were higher in patients with lower vitamin D levels (p=0.16, p=0.03, p=0.01). Somatization (r=-0.18, p=0.02), obsessive-compulsive symptoms (r=-0.21, p< 0.001) and phobic-anxiety scores (r=-0.17, p=0.03) with vitamin D level negative correlation was observed in vitamin D deficiency group. Conclusions: Although the relationship between vitamin D levels and psychiatric status cannot be fully established, the vitamin D levels are normal; can contr...
