Öğe Assessment of The Experience and Mood of COVID-19 Pandemic Care Nurses(Malatya Turgut Özal Üniversitesi, 2020) Aksoy, Aziz; Demirtaş, Havva; Bayraktar, HavvaEpidemics and pandemics have affected many societies at various times throughout human history. In the 21st century, the world is still struggling with epidemics and pandemics. Nurses play important roles in healthcare practices during infectious disease pandemics and other epidemic diseases. Therefore, they are at risk of direct patient care and exposure to contagious diseases. In this study, during the COVID-19 outbreak, pandemic care nurses; It is aimed to examine their experiences and moods with a questionnaire. This work; was conducted with the participation of 50 (13 Male + 37 Female) volunteer nurses who directly care for COVID-19 patients or suspects. Online survey questions were asked to determine the experiences and moods of the nurses during the interventions. The data obtained were analyzed with IBM SPSS 20® program. All of the participants were trained in care nursing. Participants were forced, 60% (30) of them in the habit of using personal protective, disinfectant and clothing. 78% (39) experienced insomnia, stress and anxiety, but only 2% (1) reported using sleeping pills, 36% (17) practiced meditation, muscle relaxation and breathing exercises. During this difficult period, 62% (31) of the nurses were found to be exposed to verbal/physical aggression by their patients/relatives. A significant relationship has been found between exposure to verbal or physical violence by patients / patient relatives and the Marital status-professional working year (P <0.05). As a result, the COVID-19 Pandemic process imposes both an intense work pace and a heavy responsibility for nurses. Changes in work habits brought along both psychological and physical stress and looking at the data, the fact that the COVID-19 Pandemic process took longer than expected created psychological burnout in nurses. Despite all this, nurses overcome these difficulties with their experiences.Öğe Assessment of the frequency and biochemical parameters of conjunctivitis in COVID-19 and other viral and bacterial conditions(De Gruyter, 2020) Oruç, Yavuz; Aydın, Süleyman; Akkoç, Ramazan Fazıl; Aydın, Suna; Gül, Fatih Cem; Uğur, Kader; Şahin, İbrahim; Hanbeyoğlu, Onur; Kılıç, Süleyman Sırrı; Aksoy, AzizObjectives We compared the laboratory and clinical symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), other viral (beside COVID-19), and bacterial conjunctivitis patients with the values of controls. Methods Twenty COVID-19, 15 other viral, 15 bacterial patients, and 15 control group were included in the study. COVID-19 was diagnosed with the real time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction while the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test was used in the detection of other viral agents. Bacterial agents were determined with the detection of the agent. The ophthalmologic examination of all cases was carried out by direct penlight, and the anterior segment evaluation was performed. The laboratory findings of all cases included in the study were obtained from the hospital records. Results It was determined that 5% conjunctivitis and 5% diplopia developed in patients diagnosed with COVID-19, 20% conjunctivitis developed in patients due to other viral agents, and 66.6% conjunctivitis developed in patients due to bacterial agents. Conclusion The incidence of conjunctivitis in COVID-19 patients was lower than in other viral and bacterial groups. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein come to the forefront as precious parameters with high specificity and sensitivity that might be useful to distinguish these diseases.Öğe Generic and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (O157:H7) contamination of lettuce and radish microgreens grown in peat moss and perlite(Elsevier, 2020) Işık, Hasan; Topalcengiz, Zeynal; Güner, Senem; Aksoy, Azizathogens can be transferred to microgreens from seeds, irrigation water and growth media. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contamination of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC O157:H7) and generic E. coli to lettuce and radish microgreens grown in spray and bottom irrigated peat moss and perlite. Lettuce and radish seeds were grown in nalidixic acid resistant E. coli strains inoculated peat moss and perlite. Populations of cells were enumerated on edible and inedible part of plants. Survival of E. coli strains were also examined in growth media for 28 days. Type of irrigation did not affect the population of cells transferred to edible part of plants (P > 0.05). Populations of E. coli contaminating the inedible part of plant were higher in perlite than those in peat moss (P < 0.05). No E. coli O157:H7 was detected by enrichment in edible part of lettuce grown in peat moss. Radish microgreens had high generic E. coli and E. coli O157:H7 populations (4.15–6.49 log CFU/g) regardless of growing media. E. coli O157:H7 showed similar survival trends to generic E. coli in peat moss, perlite and plant growth solution over 28 days of storage. Cultivation of microgreens in perlite requires umbrella strategies to mitigate risk including irrigation water quality, seed decontamination and postharvest treatments to prevent contamination.Öğe Hygiene habits and infection risks of hairdressers and beauty salons employees during applications in different anatomic regions(İnönü Üniversitesi, 2020) Aydın, Suna; Aksoy, Aziz; Ceylan, HacerAim: This study; Providing personal care services to the anatomical parts of the body, it offers important information about the risks of hygiene and contamination in hairdressers and beauty salons both for employees and those receiving service. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was planned; It consists of 60(46F+14M) volunteers. 26 hairdressers and beauty salons in Diyarbakır city center and its related districts. Data; It was obtained with questionnaire forms composed of 84 questions. The statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 17.0 Statistics Software. Results: Of the participants, he did not know that 73%(44) was vaccinated against hepatitis B, 15%(9) was not vaccinated, while others did not. The majority of the participants had sufficient knowledge about the transmission of hair-breaking disease. It was observed that 20%-30% of the participants did not have sufficient information about the transmission routes of diseases such as Hepatitis B, C, HIV. Participants; 38.3%(23) of them wash their hands after each customer, 50%(30) of them use separate towels for each customer, 51.7%(31) when cutting hair, 41.7%(25) continuous apron while waxing 63.3%(38) stated that they wear gloves continuously for each customer. Only those using UV for sterilization of instruments were found to be 26.7%(16). Participants generally used to disinfect the bottom by using disinfectants rather than sterilization. Conclusion: Participants' wearing aprons, gloves and protectors, washing their hands after each customer, their efforts to protect from infectious diseases, their knowledge of sterilization techniques were not sufficient for all service locations. It is obvious that poor infection control procedures and hygienic practices, including cleaning and disinfection, will present a risk of infection among customers. Infection risks for places that provide personal care are not well defined. Specific infection control practices should be performed by environmental health physicians.Öğe Investigation of Obesity Tendency of University Students with Bioelectric Impedance Body Analyzer(Malatya Turgut Ozal University, 2020) Aksoy, Aziz; Sele, Halime; Oğur, SedaAim: In this study, it was tried to investigate the obesity tendency of the students of Bitlis Eren University with Bioelectrical Impedance Body Analyzer. Materials and Methods: A total of 400 volunteer students, 200 girls and 200 boys, were included in the study. Findings: According to Body Mass Index (BMI) values were found that 19.5% of the girl students were weak, 68.5% of them were normal weight, 11.0% of them were overweight and 1.0% of them were obese, 4.5% of the boy students were weak, 71.0% of them were normal weight, 22.0% of them were overweight and 2.5% of them were obese. According to body fat ratio were determined that 40.0% of the girl students were in the obesity tendency risk group and 48.0% of them were obese, 56.0% of the boy students were in the obesity tendency risk group and 26.0% of them were obese. According to the waist/hip ratio were revealed that 95.5% of the girl students were in the obesity tendency group and 4.0% of them were obese, 85.5% of the boy students were in the obesity tendency group and 4.0% of them were obese. The difference between sex and fat ratio, waist/hip ratio, and BMI values and the difference between age and fat ratio, waist/hip ratio, and BMI values were found significant (p<0.05). Result: Obesity is at a high level among university students.
