(Professional Medical Publications, 2024-03) Göktaş, Olgun; Göktaş, Olgun; Aile Sağlığı Merkezi; EXQ-8413-2022
Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the distribution of ABO and RhD blood groups and their relationship with diseases. Methods: The retrospective study was carried out in Bursa Uludag University Family Health Center in Turkey between 1-28 February, 2023. The data of individuals who were registered with the Family Health Center and whose blood types were known were evaluated retrospectively. Blood group type, sociodemographic findings, existing diseases, allergies, and genetic disease conditions were obtained. P-values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Analysis were made in the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: A total of 3834 people, 1935 male (50.5%) and 1899 female (49.5%) participated in the study. The mean age of the individuals was 26.45 +/- 10.45 years. About 75.8 percent of the participants were university students, 6.3 percent were health workers, and 17.9 percent were from other occupational groups. The rates of blood groups were determined as O Rh D+ at 33.5%, AB Rh D+ at 26.9%, A Rh D+ at 14.9%, AB Rh D- at 7.7%, B Rh D+ at 7%, O Rh D- at 4.6%, B Rh D- at 3.2% and A Rh D- at 2.2%. It was determined that the O Rh D- group had a higher rate of genetic disease than the other groups (p=0.01). Conclusion: It was determined that the O Rh D+ blood group was found more frequently in our region's population than in other groups. This different result depending on the A Rh D+ blood group, which is the most common throughout the country may have reflected the influence of different geographical regions and ethnic characteristics due to the students in our population. In addition, the results regarding the relationships between blood groups and occupation, genetics, existing disease, presence of allergies, and visual defects in the eye are important.

(Taylor & Francis, 2007-02) Uncu, Yeşim; Alper, Züleyha; Özdemir, Halis; Bilgel, Nazan; Uncu, Gürkan; Tıp Fakültesi; Aile Sağlığı Merkezi; 0000-0002-8349-9868; 0000-0002-5225-4403; 0000-0002-5225-4403; 0000-0002-4539-5849; AAB-1694-2021; D-9597-2016; AAP-9210-2020; ABE-2261-2020; 8892370600; 8580079400; 57197077578; 7801564702; 6603716169
Objectives To investigate the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and menopause perception on self-reported menopause-related symptoms among Turkish women and analyze their knowledge and attitudes towards menopause and hormone therapy. Methods This was a population-based, cross-sectional, descriptive study. A total of 1007 women were recruited while attending primary-care health clinics. Women who agreed to participate in the study gave written informed consent. Each woman completed a questionnaire and had an interview to investigate her current health problems. Results Various different problems were reported by 86% of the women, mainly hot flushes. The women who perceived menopause as a pathological period had more complaints. The level of education influenced a more positive perception of the menopause. Only 12% of women were taking a hormonal treatment. Conclusion Different perceptions of menopause among Turkish women are influenced by many factors, including cultural differences, level of education, regular exercise, social factors, and impact of the media. These need to be considered when studying the frequency and characteristics of menopausal problems.
A sample of paediatric residents' loneliness-anxiety-depression-burnout and job satisfaction with probable affecting factors
(Pakistan Medical Association, 2015-02) Karaoglu, Nazan; Pekcan, Sevgi; Durduran, Yasemin; Odabasi, Dursun; Ors, Rahmi; Mergen, Haluk; Aile Sağlığı Merkezi; 0000-0001-6628-7321; A-1204-2018; 27467601400
Objective: To assess levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness, burnout and job satisfaction among paediatric Residents, and how they influence each other. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Necmettin Erbakan University, Meram, and Konya Meram Education and Research Hospital, Turkey from January to June 2011, and comprised paediatric Residents and their counterparts from other departments who formed the control group. While maintaining confidentiality, a questionnaire was used to collect data that had elements of the University of California, Los Angeles, Loneliness Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. SPSS version 13 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Overall there were 74 Residents in the study; 43(58%) working with the paediatrics department, and 31(42%) in the control group. Overall mean age was 27.60+/-2.25 years. Residents who were not satisfied with the city they were living in, with their professional career and who would not choose the same career given a second chance were feeling more lonely and had higher loneliness scores (p<0.05). In contrast, anxiety among female Residents who were unsatisfied with their professional career and working conditions was significantly high (p<0.05). Positive correlation was detected between the burnout levels of Residents and their anxiety, depression and loneliness scores (r=0.74; r=0.65; r=0.36). In terms of intrinsic, extrinsic and total job satisfaction, there was an obvious negative correlation (r=-0.57; r=-0.54; r=-0.61). Conclusion: Working conditions and professional liability were the main factors affecting the Residents. Informed decision and career willingness may help them feel better.
Vitamin D status in the adult population of Bursa-Turkey
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-11-02) Can, Fatma Ezgi; Göktaş, Olgun; Ersoy, Canan; Ercan, İlker; Aile Sağlığı Merkezi; Aile Sağlığı Birimi; 0000-0002-2382-290X; AAH-8861-2021; EXQ-8413-2022; 6603078279; 6701485882; 6603789069
Background Vitamin D, along with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin, is an important hormone that affects bone and calcium metabolism. Objectives To evaluate the vitamin D status and its seasonal variation in the adult population of Bursa. Methods Since there is not enough information about vitamin D levels, 25 OH vitamin D levels were analysed retrospectively from the records of 11,734 adult subjects (9142 women, 2592 men) admitted to 24 family health centres located in different districts of Bursa between 1 December 2017 and 30 November 2018. Some tests that can affect vitamin D levels, demographic features, and accompanying comorbidities were also evaluated. A face-to-face questionnaire was administered to subjects who were willing to answer (n = 2965). Results The mean serum vitamin D level was 16.6 +/- 11.5 ng/mL in the entire population, 15.8 +/- 11.7 ng/mL in women and 19.5 +/- 9.9 ng/mL in men. The percentage of subjects with a vitamin D level <20 ng/mL was highest in March-May and lowest in the September-November period (80.7% and 69.9% for women, 77.5% and 32.9% for men, respectively). Conclusion Vitamin D levels <20 ng/mL are more prominent in women, and decline in spring, in the adult population of Bursa. These results are meaningful for the population living in Bursa, Turkey and the northern European region.
