“…[38][39][40] Most of these findings are also seen in elderly patients with sarcopenia. 2,23,35 Similar to the literature, in our study, the height, weight, BMI, muscle and visceral values were significantly lower in the sarcopenia group compared to the non-sarcopenia group in BD. However, it was found that waist circumference, right Upper-middle arm circumference (UMAC) and left UMAC values were higher in the sarcopenia group compared to the non-sarcopenia group.…”

“…1 It may develop due to conditions such as inactivity, malnutrition and cachexia in young individuals. 2 European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) described sarcopenia as a syndrome qualified by a generalized and progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength at risk of reverse outcomes like a poor quality of life, physical disability and death. 3 The incidence of sarcopenia increases with age.…”

Background: Sarcopenia (SP) is a syndrome described as generalized and progressive loss of muscle mass and strength that may cause fall, fractures, disability and death. Oxidative stress might be a probable etiologic factor in SP as well. SP is a comorbid syndrome that is seen in chronic illnesses. If these two considerations are taken together, one may also think that SP could be also seen in bipolar disorder (BD), because it is a chronic disorder and oxidative stress was related to both illnesses. In our study, we proposed to investigate the prevalence of SP in BD patients. Methods: We recruited 111 consecutive BD patients who registered in Mood Disorders Unit of Çukurova University. Blood tests were taken from patients to exclude the possible confounding factor related to SP. Socio-demographic variable forms were filled out. Every patient underwent physical mass, strength, and performance tests for the diagnosis of SP, which was determined by the criteria of European consensus. Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.00 ±11.44 years (18-68). Among the participants 69 (62.2%) were female, and 42 (37.8%) were male. Pre-SP was 6.3% (n=7), SP was 9.0% (n=10), and severe SP was 1.8% (n=2) in BD patients. The prevalence of pre-SP, SP and severe SP in BD patients was 7.1%, 16.7% and 2.4% in men and 5.8%, 4.3% and 1.4% in women, respectively. Although it was not marginally significant, a difference was observed in SP patients as they had more median psychotic features and median number of episodes per year for BD. Conclusion: This is the first study that investigated SP in BD patients. Sarcopenia was found more frequently in BD patients than in the general population.

“…Increasing elderly population brings with it increasing health expenditures, the need for infrastructure regulation and problems. The adaptation process to the increasing elderly population is challenging, especially for economically underdeveloped and developing countries, and it is of great importance to identify the problems correctly and produce solutions quickly and feasibly [3].…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the knowledge level and awareness of surgical nurses about fragile patients. Method: Obtained through Introductory Information Survey Form created by the researchers and Fragile Patient Information Evaluation Form methods. Results: The average age of the surgical nurses participating in the study was 28±5.01 years, the average professional experience was 5±5.09 years, and the average experience in the service they worked in was 3±2.83 years. The rate of those who heard the term 'frailty' for the first time is 63%. It was stated that 92.7% of the 110 surgical nurses participating in the study did not receive any training on fragility; It was stated that 50.9% of them think of the most vulnerable and weak patient when they think of a fragile patient. While 50% of them stated that when they suspected frailty in the patient, they evaluated involuntary weight loss, slowness (slowness in walking, muscle weakness), and fatigue; 70% stated that the biggest risk factor for frailty is being depressed or using antidepressant medication. Conclusions: According to the results of the study, it can be said that the awareness of surgical nurses about the "fragile patient" should be increased. In the light of the data obtained, it can be suggested to organize trainings on "fragile patients" for surgical nurses. 'Fragile patient' education should be included in pre-graduation education and in-service training.
