Item Anthropometric measurements usage in medical sciences(Hindawi LTD, 2015) Utkualp, Nevin; Ercan, Ilker; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-0795-9372; 0000-0002-2382-290X; AAJ-1202-2021; ABF-2367-2020; 56829620000; 6603789069Morphometry is introduced as quantitative approach to seek information concerning variations and changes in the forms of organisms that described the relationship between the human body and disease. Scientists of all civilization, who existed until today, examined the human body using anthropometric methods. For these reasons, anthropometric data are used in many contexts to screen for or monitor disease. Anthropometry, a branch of morphometry, is the study of the size and shape of the components of biological forms and their variations in populations. Morphometrics can also be defined as the quantitative analysis of biological forms. The field has developed rapidly over the last two decades to the extent that we now distinguish between traditional morphometrics and the more recent geometric morphometrics. Advances in imaging technology have resulted in the protection of a greater amount of morphological information and have permitted the analysis of this information. The oldest and most commonly used of these methods is radiography. With developments in this area, CT and MRI have also been started to be used in screening of the internal organs. Morphometric measurements that are used in medicine, are widely used in the diagnosis and the follow-up and the treatment of the disease, today. In addition, in cosmetology use of these new measurements is increasing every day.Publication Attitudes of antioxidant consumption in university students(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Özdemir, Burhan; Özdemir, Aysel; Utkualp, Nevin; Özdemir, Levent; Özdemir, Burhan; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; UTKUALP, NEVİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi; 0000-0002-0815-9505; 0000-0002-7780-3202; AAC-9352-2021; C-7487-2018; AAJ-1202-2021Antioxidants are generally found in vegetables, fruits and some other plants. A balanced diet should contain foods rich in antioxidants.We aimed in this study to evaluate the knowledge level of students in the Institute of Health Sciences and their pattern of antioxidant consumption. We also assessed the stress levels of cases with a simple scale and its association with consumption levels. A total of 144 cases participated in the study. The mean age of the students was 20.61 +/- 2.04 (range 17-33). Number of females was 111 (77.1%). Among the study group, 66.7% of cases consumed 4 cups or more of tea daily. Rate of consumption of coffee every day was 52.4%. The mostly known antioxidants are garlic, red pepper, green tea, vegetables, and vitamin E with decreasing order. Daily consumption rates of vegetables, black tea, and olive were most common in decreasing order. The stress levels of the cases were not significantly associated with the consumption rates of each antioxidant in this study.Knowledge level about antioxidants of students has to be increased. The dietary habits of the population like high consumption of vegetables, black tea, and olive in a way compensated the amount of daily consumed antioxidants.Publication Attitudes to genetically modified organisms and food among university students(Scibulcom, 2016-01-01) Utkualp, Nevin; Özdemir, Aysel; Biçer, Murat; Özdemir, Burhan; UTKUALP, NEVİN; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; BİÇER, MURAT; Özdemir, Burhan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kalp ve Damar Cerrahisi Kliniği; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-0815-9505; ABC-2231-2020; AAC-9352-2021; AAJ-1202-2021; FRF-3343-2022Genetically modified organisms and food have serious concerns due to their unpredicted nature. The beneficial effects include cost-effectiveness, economical benefits and endurance of the related product to certain obstacles including infections, and drought. Many diseases are attributed to genetically modified foods as with environmental hazards. Some of these have not been validated via scientific committees.In this study we aimed to investigate the attitudes of 85 students of the Institute of Health Sciences in Uludag University. The study was a descriptive study. We gathered data via questionnaire focusing on the attitudes, believes, knowledge levels and socioeconomical characteristics. The mean age of the study group was 21.77 +/- 1.21 (range 20-26). Among the group 67 (78.8%) were female. Majority of them mostly lived in cities. More than half of the students think that genetics of food is changed to make national governments dependent to foreign countries. Majority of students think that GMF and GMOs are detrimental for human health. A negative perception is present of GMOs. The socioeconomic characteristics did not affect the attitudes of students towards GMOs. 100% of the students think food labels should contain data related to presence of GMOs.Item Hemşire ve ebelerin kişisel olarak eksiklikleri giderme tutumunun etik açısından degerlendirilmesi(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015) Utkualp, Nevin; Civaner, M. Murat; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü/Tıp Tarihi ve Etik Anabilim Dalı.Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşire ve ebelerin görev ihmalini ve eksik malzemeleri tamamlama davranışlarının tıp etiği açısından değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Bursa il merkezindeki kamu hastanelerinde Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum ile ilgili birimlerde (Doğumhane, Klinik, Acil Birimi, Yeni Doğan Yoğun Bakımı) çalışan 330 hemşire ve ebe grubu oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya 289 ebe ve hemşire katılmıştır. Veriler, demografik özellikler ile çalışma durumuna ilişkin özellikleri içeren veri formu ve 'Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi' (ADA) aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Pearson Ki-Kare ve Fisher Kesin Ki-Kare testleri kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların %56.8'i sık sık, %24.8'i bazen, % 9.7'si her zaman "sağlık ekibinin herhangi bir üyesi görevini ihmal ettiğinde bu görevi tamamlama tutumunu sergilediğini" ifade etmiştir. Katılımcıların %10.0'ının, hastaların sağlık giderleri karşılanmadığı durumlarda sağlık çalışanlarının kişisel çabalarla sınırlı kaynakları tamamlamaya çalıştıkları belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların %17.3'ü "kendi cebinden ya da aralarında para toplama", %24.2'si "hastanenin başka bölümlerinden karşılama", %20.2'si "başka hastaların sarf malzemelerinden idare etme" gibi kendince riskli çözümler bulmaktadır. Meslek ahlakı açısından değerlendirildiğinde, katılımcıların başkasının ihmal ettiği görevi tamamlamasının etik açısından haklı çıkarılamayacağı, bu tutumun süreklilik kazanmasının sorunların artmasına neden olacağı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Acil durumlar dışında, katılımcıların tamamlama sorumluluğunun etik açısından doğru olmadığı, hatalı uygulamalara neden olacağını düşünülmektedir. Tüm bunlar hastaların olumsuz yönde etkilenmesine neden olacaktır. Hemşire ve ebelerin tutumlarından kaynaklanabilecek sorunların oluşmasını önlemek için hemşire ve ebelere eğitim verilmesi yararlı olabilir. Ayrıca, sağlık ekibi üyelerinin görev tanımlamaları daha iyi yapılmalıdır. Daha önemlisi, sağlık hakkı gereğince sağlık hizmetlerinin toplumdaki her bireyi kapsaması sağlanmalı, hizmetler gereksinime göre sunulmalıdır. Sözü edilen sorunlar ancak bu şekilde tümüyle ortadan kaldırılabilecektir.Publication Nutritional supplement use in high school students(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Özdemir, Aysel; Kocoğlu, Gonca; Utkualp, Nevin; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; UTKUALP, NEVİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi; 0000-0002-0815-9505; AAJ-1202-2021; AAC-9352-2021During adolescence development of healthy eating behaviours is vital for establishing a healthy growth period. In fact, healthy eating is adequate and balanced consumption of food, without necessity of nutritional supplements. We intended to evaluate nutritional supplements, such as antioxidative substances like vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids.The study was conducted in 9 high schools in Bursa. The students enrolled attended to 9-12th classes. The study utilised a face to face interview method, a questionnaire was applied and some data were collected from the school registries. Among 953 middle and high school students 56.9% were female (n = 542), 43.1% were male (n = 411). The mean age was 15.74 +/- 1.27. Majority of the students were from the Marmara region (54.7%). 7% of the students were taking nutritional supplements. Gender, BMI, school success, presence of health problems, smoking and alcohol consumption were associated with nutritional supplement consumption.In the market many herbal products are sold and are being consumed without proven effects and without clear safety marjins. Overdosing side effects are not so uncommon. Detection of high school students using these supplements in our study may address need of regulations in selling and buying of these products.Publication Nutritional supplement use in high school students(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Özdemir, Aysel; Koçoğlu, G.; Utkualp, Nevin; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; UTKUALP, NEVİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi; 0000-0002-0815-9505; AAJ-1202-2021; AAC-9352-2021During adolescence development of healthy eating behaviours is vital for establishing a healthy growth period.

This study aimed to determine the opinions and practices of midwives on obtaining valid informed consent for vaginal deliveries. This descriptive study was conducted between November 2021 and December 2022 in two different cities of Turkey, Bursa and Kocaeli. Data were analyzed with Chi-square test. In the study all midwives who had not received ethics training had a common perception that informed consent merely involved obtaining a signature and was a standard practice for vaginal birth (p=0.002). In the study, 92.9% of the midwives reported that they found it necessary to obtain informed consent in vaginal deliveries, 97.6% reported that they provided verbal information. However, information provided by midwives for valid informed consent was mostly not comprehensive (range 44.4%-80.2%). Most midwives (80.2%) focused on highlighting the benefits of vaginal birth for mothers, with comparatively less emphasis on communicating information regarding the potential risks and complications associated with vaginal birth for newborns. The high percentage of midwives who considered it necessary to obtain informed consent in vaginal deliveries in our study suggests that these midwives are well aware of the significance of informed consent.Item Oxidative stress and chronic diseases(Scibulcom, 2015) Utkualp, Nevin; Özdemir, Aysel; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; 0000-0003-0795-9372; 0000-0002-0815-9505; AAJ-1202-2021; AAC-9352-2021It has been asserted that the DNA in each cell of human body is exposed to oxidative damage every day. The balance between the damage and repair on DNA breaks down during the disease conditions. Significantly for the treatment modalities it is important to know how oxidative stress affects the human organism during the chronic diseases. Also the rehabilitation of patient and improvement of the life quality of patient who has a chronic disease are considered to be important. In this context, recognition of the risks of chronic diseases (oxidative stress) is inadequate, and improving and supporting the treatments of these individuals who are under risks are necessary.Publication Oxidative stress and chronic diseases(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Utkualp, Nevin; Özdemir, Aysel; UTKUALP, NEVİN; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 0000-0002-0815-9505; AAJ-1202-2021; AAC-9352-2021It has been asserted that the DNA in each cell of human body is exposed to oxidative damage every day.
