To analyze factors which effect diabetes health literacy (DHL) situations of patients with type 2 diabetes and their relations with sociodemographic variables. Data were collected in a policlinic of a public hospital between 1 and 30 December 2010 through questionnaires from patients with type 2 diabetes who were older than 18 years and accepted to be interviewed. For each correct answer related to DHL situations, the variable was given 1 point and for others, 0 point was given. Thus, a scoring was made to evaluate DHL levels. 62,2% of participants were women, 81,4% were over 44, 23,8% were illiterate, 53,3% were unemployed, 32% had a monthly income equal to or below 700 TL. It was found that 38,8% of participants had difficulties in reading and writing skills. 61,1% of participants had type 2 diabetes for five years and longer, 21,5% did not show up regularly for control, 71,7% never attended educational meetings for diabetes, 93,5% did not know their HbA1c values, 16,9% changed potions without asking their doctors, and 33,9% wrongly interpreted usage instruction sample (3×1 drug use). There was a significant difference between participants' DHL scores and education status (p˂0,001). DHL averages of patients whose duration of illness was 5 to 14 years were significantly higher than those whose duration of illness was less than 4 years or more than 15 years (p=0,036). Estimated relative risk in regression model of being high in comparison to those having difficulty in at least one of reading or writing activities was 2,697 (95%GA: 1,208-6,022). The estimated relative risk of being high for DHL scores of those, whose duration of illness was 15 and more years, was equal to 5,437 (95%GA: 1,798-16,436) in comparison to patients who had been diseased for 4 or fewer years. Factors such as education, reading and writing skills, area of settlement, and family support which have all been found to affect DHL scores should be given due attention in treatments of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the traditional practices of women for pregnancy, birth, puerperium and neonatal care. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in Amasya. The sample of the study consisted of 134 females who had at least one child, who lived in this region between 1 December 2013 and 15 January 2014 and who agreed to work. The written permission to conduct the study has gotten from Municipality and verbally permission from the people who join to the study. The participants were asked about their knowledge and practicewith a form prepared based on literature and consisting of 107 items containing traditional practices. The datas obtained in this study were analysed with the SPSS 20 packet program. Ki squared with frequency and percentage, Kruskal Wallis-H tests were used. Results: The average age of women is 48.87 ± 15.92 and is between 19-80 years. All of the women stated that they have knowledge about traditional practices. When they are asked to say them that come to their minds, they have indicated the application of salting the baby, swaddling the baby, "höllük" (putting soil under the baby'ship) and "kırklama" (a special ceremony to bath when the baby is 40 days). Conclusion: This study shows that although it changes over time, traditional practices still continue. Nowadays evidence-based practices have got a growing importance gradually. In that case useful traditional practices should be developed and related trainings should be given more importance.
