“…The prevalence of GERD has been studied in different countries for many years, and a distinction has been made according to many demographic characteristics. Although modern life, obesity, economic status, and being old seem to increase the probability of encountering the disease more, regional studies give quite different results [21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is frequently seen not only in our country but also all over the world. GERD not only impairs health and quality of life, but also causes serious financial losses in the working population. In this study, our aim is to determine the frequency of gastroesophageal reflux disease among female healthcare professionals of childbearing age in our region. Questions were asked about demographic data such as weight, age, height, BMI, medical history, and gastroesophageal reflux of female healthcare workers, whose data were generated by us. The answers to the questionnaires were collected and evaluated retrospective. All participants in the study were women. This study was carried out on 1224 female healthcare workers of reproductive age working in Malatya Turgut Özal University training and research hospital. Approximately 1150 of the employees who were distributed questionnaires filled out the questionnaires. The mean age of the female healthcare workers of childbearing age was 30.01±5.38 years, between 19-50. The mean height of the healthcare workers was 1.64±7.8 meters, the average weight was 68.05±13.2 kg, and their body mass index (BMI) was 27.4±3.6 kg/m². The frequency of GERD in the study group was found to be positive in 24%. 38.5% of the healthcare workers had previously gone to the doctor with complaints of pyrosis and/or regurgitation. A significant relationship was found between GERD and stress, fizzy drinks, lying down after meals, and family history of GERD. There was no significant relationship between the smoking and coffee use and age of the participants in the study in terms of the presence of GERD.We think that gastroesophageal reflux symptoms are common due to stress, unbalanced diet, irregular sleep and lifestyle habits due to the COVID pandemic in the last two years due to the fact that the participants in the study were healthcare professionals. Among our healthcare professionals, both pyrosis and other GERD symptoms were found to be higher than some of the previous studies, similar to those in our country. We think that the reason for this is that the extremely stressful work of health workers in the last 2 years has contributed to this. As it is known, health workers have worked very hard in the last 2 years, they did not even use their annual leaves, even those who wanted to retire could not retire. We think that this stress environment may also contribute to GERD symptoms.

The family as one of system support for schizophrenia treatment in the primary care setting has been a challenge in integrating family services into mental health. This study aimed to review the urgent of family involvement during the treatment of schizophrenia in health mental services using the Family-Centered Care approach. A systematic review was performed using the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, study design (PICOS) framework within Scopus (27 articles), ProQuest (151 articles), Science Direct (93 articles), EBSCO (124 articles), and Springer (149 articles) published databases in the last five years using the keywords of “Family- Centered Care, nursing, AND Schizophreni*”. The articles were empirical quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies published within 2017- 2021 where study participants were clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia and intervention approaches were within the scope of family involvement. Twenty-four articles met the inclusion criteria for review. Evidence supports a professionally engaged relationship between patients, families, and providers with open knowledge exchange, communication, and collaboration. Family-centered care requires empathy, understanding, respect, and empowerment to choose, control decisions, and empower in the treatment of schizophrenia. This study concludes the importance of family involvement in the treatment of schizophrenia from the start. Health care providers help families through the admissions process.

<p>It is known that individuals who are immigrants experience malnutrition due to various reasons. The present study was conducted to compare the nutritional status of immigrant women, who arrive in Turkey from Syria, before and after migration, and to determine the factors that affect their current healthy eating index scores. The individuals participating in the study were recruited from Immigrant Health Unit in Mardin-Turkey. The sampling of this cross-sectional study consisted of the women who were between the ages of 15-49, 450 Syrian migrant women participated in the study. The data were collected with face-to-face interview technique and with a questionnaire that consisted of 2 parts. According to the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 score of the individuals mean was found to be 52.90±9.40. According to the hierarchical regression model, the monthly income, life expectancy in Turkey, body mass index (BMI), and the number of individuals in the family were statistically significant components to predict the mean HEI score. It was determined that the basic eating habits of individuals changed in the country of immigration, and more foods with high carbohydrate and saturated fat contents were consumed. It is required to design comprehensive studies and policies.</p>
