The foundations of a healthy life are laid during youth, and healthy nutrition and regular physical activity are not only two key determinants of health but also two main factors decreasing age-related health risks. Universities are the ideal environments for increasing this awareness and educating university students that constitute the majority of young population on healthy behavioral choices. This study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting the attitudes of the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences (Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and Department of Nutrition and Dietetics) at a foundation university towards healthy nutrition and physical activity. Methods: The total number of students in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and Department of Nutrition and Dietetics was 467. The study aimed to reach the whole universe and was conducted with 339 students (73%) that consented to participate. Study data were collected via faceto-face surveys that covered the sociodemographic data form, demographic data questions of the modified survey by the University of North Florida on Diet and Exercise and the survey including the Body Image Scale. The study received an approval from the Scientific Researches Ethics Council of the School of Medicine of Trakya University (TÜTF-BAEK 2019/163). Study data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 program. Significance level was p<0.05. Chi-square analysis was used for group comparisons as the data were categorical variables. Results: While the Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.91 in the original Body Image Scale, it was 0.959 in our study. In addition, while prediction point was 135 in the original scale, it was 134.5 according to our ROC analysis. 49.6% of students stated that they did not exercise; 27.1% of those associated it with "lack of time" while 17.1% cited "lack of willpower". 54% of students considered their diets unhealthy. There was a statistically significant difference between lack of exercise and gender (p<0.05). 81% of females did not exercise at all while 19% of males did not exercise. Among students whose body image perception was below average, the number of those not exercising (n=52) was higher than those exercising (n=36), and this was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: According to results of this study, university students should be provided with awareness programs on healthy nutrition and exercise to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Üriner inkontinans ‘her türlü idrar kaçırma’ şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. Toplumda net olarak prevelansı saptanamayıp oldukça sık görülen sağlık problemidir. Birçok kadın üriner inkontinansı yaşlanmanın doğal bir sonucu olarak görmekte ve ihmal edilen sağlık problemi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Her kadının sağlık hizmetine eşit şartlarda ulaşamaması, fazla ve sık doğum, kötü hijyen, toplum tarafından ayıplanma ve utanma duygusu gibi birçok farklı sebepten ötürü üriner inkontinans üzeri örtülen, tespiti zor ve önemli bir sağlık problemi haline gelmiştir. Üriner inkontinans konusunda eğitilmiş hemşireler hasta tanılamada, konservatif tedavi tekniklerini hastaya öğretip uygulamada multidisipliner sağlık ekibinin önemli bir parçasıdır. Bu anlamda hemşirelerin, kadınların üriner inkontinans risk faktörlerini değerlendirmesi, maruziyetlerini önleyerek korunma yolları hakkında danışmanlık yapması önem arz etmektedir. Tüm bunlar doğrultusunda bu derlemenin amacı üriner inkontinansı; risk faktörleri, tipleri ve tüm güncel tedavi yöntemlerini kanıt düzeyleri ile ele alarak hemşirelik yaklaşımlarının önemini vurgulamaktır.
