The relationship between the levels of diagnosing safety measures for home accidents and health literacy of mothers with 0-6 age group children Özet Çocuklarda ev kazaları önlenebilir, önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Gazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları polikliniklerine başvuran 0-6 yaş grubu çocuğu olan annelerin ev kazalarına yönelik güvenlik önlemlerini tanılama düzeyleri ile sağlık okuryazarlığı ilişkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın tipi kesitseldir. %95 güvenilirlik, %5 hata, %4 sapma ve %30 yeterli-mükemmel SOY düzeyi sıklığı ile hesaplanan örneklem sayısı 443'tür. Araştırmada veri kaynağı olarak tanımlayıcı özellikleri içeren bir anket formu, annelerin sağlık okuryazarlığını değerlendiren Türkiye Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve 0-6 Yaş Çocuklarda Annenin Ev Kazalarına Yönelik Güvenlik Önlemlerini Tanılama Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verisi SPSS 23,0 istatistik paket programı aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel yöntem olarak; iki bağımsız grup arasındaki istatistiksel anlamlılıklarda Mann-Whitney U, ikiden fazla bağımsız grup arasındaki istatistiksel anlamlılıklarda Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanılmıştır. SOY puanı ile annelerin ev kazalarına yönelik güvenlik önlemleri tanılama ölçek puanı ilişkisini değerlendirmek için Spearman korelasyon testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya 491 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan annelerin %23,6'sı yetersiz, %39,3'ü sorunlu-sınırlı, %24,6'sı yeterli ve %12,4'ü mükemmel SOY düzeyine sahiptir. Annelerin ev kazalarına yönelik güvenlik önlemlerini tanılama ölçeğinden aldıkları puan ortalaması 164,84±19,71, ortancası 167 (min:95, max:200)'dir. Çalışma sonucunda, annelerin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi ile ev kazalarına yönelik alınan güvenlik önlemleri ölçek puanları arasında orta düzeyde pozitif yönde bir korelasyon mevcuttur (r:0,487; p<0,001).
Aim: We aimed to examine the diagnostic power of chest computerized tomography (CT) comparing with ‘Clinical Decision’ and RT-PCR results among the patients admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 disease suspicion. Material and Method: This study included 162 patients who applied to the pandemic outpatient clinic between March 11 and April 11, 2020, suspected of new coronavirus infection, and had chest CT and RT-PCR tests at the same time. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy and positive odds ratio of RT-PCR and chest CT imaging are investigated for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Results: It was found that 56.8% (92 patients) of chest CT scans taken at admission were compatible with viral pneumonia. With the ‘Clinical Decision’, which we accept as the gold standard diagnostic method, 61.1% of the patients (99 patients) were evaluated as COVID-19 positive and treatment was started. According to clinical decision, sensitivity of chest CT was 92.9%. Conclusion: COVID-19 pneumonia is a serious life-threatening condition. Rapid diagnosis and early treatment are very important in terms of reducing mortality and morbidity. The chest CT might create an early diagnosis and treatment opportunity.
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the reasons why individuals with incomplete Covid-19 vaccines in a district did not have their second dose of vaccine, even though they had their first dose of vaccine, and to evaluate their vaccine literacy. Methods: The research is a cross-sectional study conducted between August and October 2021. It was identified and the population of the research was determined. 192 people participated in the study with the sample calculation. In the questionnaire used in the research, there are 29 questions and three sections: demographic characteristics of the participants, their knowledge and attitudes about the Covid-19 vaccine and other vaccines, and the Covid-19 vaccine literacy scale. The scale consists of 12 statements and two dimensions. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests it was used as statistical methods in the study. Statistical significance value was accepted as p
Purpose: In the study, it was aimed to understand the factors affecting the acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccine in Pursaklar district of Ankara, to identify common barriers to vaccination decisions, and to determine the necessary interventions to improve vaccination rates. Materials and Methods: The type of research is cross-sectional. A total of 370 people participated in the study. As a data source in the research, the questionnaire form "Evaluation of Information, Attitudes and Behaviors of People Who Have Not Been Vaccinated in the Covid-19 Vaccination Process in Ankara Pursaklar District" was used. Results: Among the reasons for not being vaccinated yet, although it was time for vaccination, the most common answers were 'there was no time/opportunity to get vaccinated' with 41.5% and 'I don't want to be vaccinated' with 40%. The attitudes of the participants about the Covid-19 vaccine after this survey are as follows; 27.3% “I will definitely get vaccinated”, 25.9% “I will probably get vaccinated”, 13.5% “I will definitely not get vaccinated”, 15.4% “I will probably not get vaccinated” and 17.8% “I have no idea”. In the model established by the multivariate logistic regression analysis, in which the factors affecting the unvaccinated status were examined, being in the 30-44 age range (OR: 2,646), not having Covid-19 before (OR: 3,832), not wanting to receive information from a physician about Covid-19 vaccines (OR:3,461) were definitely determined as effective factors on not getting vaccinated Conclusion: The high level of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy, especially fueled by conspiracy theories on television and social media, can severely limit the effectiveness of currently ongoing vaccine programs. It is extremely important that these platforms transfer information in a controlled manner.
