Background/aim: The aim of this study was to determine mortality rates and to evaluate clinical features of patients with active tuberculosis (TB) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Materials and methods:The medical records of active TB patients requiring ICU admission were retrospectively reviewed over a 5-year period.Results: Sixteen patients with active TB admitted to the ICU were included in the study. Seven (43.8%) patients died in the ICU. The cause of mortality was septic shock in 5 patients and respiratory failure in 2 patients. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores were higher in patients who died (P = 0.012 and 0.048, respectively). Six of the 8 immunosuppressed patients and 1 of the 8 nonimmunosuppressed patients died (P = 0.041). The median mechanical ventilation (MV) duration was longer in patients who died (11 (5-45) days) than in patients who survived (4.5 (3-7) days) (P = 0.036). Seven of the 8 patients with nosocomial infection and/or coinfection died, while all of the patients without additional infection survived (P = 0.01). Conclusion:Active TB patients admitted to the ICU had higher mortality rates, especially patients with immunosuppression, nosocomial infection, high APACHE II and SOFA scores, and patients receiving MV.

This study investigates how physical education (PE) teachers make sense of peer bullying, which types of behaviors they associate with peer bullying, their opinions about these behaviors, and methods for preventing bullying. The study group consisted of 18 PE teachers. The interview technique was used as a qualitative research method in the study. The data obtained after one-on-one interviews were analyzed through content analysis. According to the data obtained, PE teachers are the most important variable in the decrease or increase of peer bullying in classes. However, PE classes provide a suitable environment for the emergence of peer bullying. Additionally, bullying caused by the individual characteristics of students and environmental reasons can increase in schools, and there are generally no collective intervention programs within schools to prevent it. According to the teachers’ opinions, some of the important results are that students who are exposed to bullying experience the same fear every week in PE lessons, and although it is known that the majority of them do not want to participate in the activity in order to avoid being bullied, no solution can be found.

Bu araştırmanın amacı beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenliği bölümlerinin yeterliliği hakkında öğretmen görüşlerini incelemektir. Araştırmada karma yöntemlerden yakınsayan paralel desen kullanılmıştır. Nitel araştırma grubunu, 20 beden eğitimi öğretmeni oluştururken nicel araştırma grubunu 283 beden eğitimi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, "yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu" ve "Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Öğretmenliği Bölümlerinin Yeterliliği Ölçeği (BESÖBYÖ)" kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda beden eğitimi öğretmenleri mezun oldukları lisans programlarının Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı okulların imkân ve şartlarına uygun nitelikte beden eğitimi öğretmeni yetiştirmediklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Ayrıca lisans derslerini yürüten öğretim elemanlarının yeterli sayıda olmadıkları ve bazı derslerde nitelik bakımından yetersiz kaldıklarını ileri sürmüşlerdir. Beden eğitimi öğretmenleri beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenliği bölümlerinin tesis ve sosyal imkânlar açısından problemlerin olduğunu belirtmişlerdir.
