    Investigation of Effects of Exposure to Violence and Affecting Factors on Job Satisfaction of Emergency Nurses
    (Kare Publ, 2015) Bahar, Arzu; Sahin, Simge; Akkaya, Zehra; Alkayis, Muhammed
    Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of exposure to violence and affecting factors on job satisfaction of emergency nurses. Methods: Research was conducted with 128 volunteer nurses who are currently working as emergency nurses at the emergency departments of six hospitals in Yenimahalle district of Ankara. Research was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study and conducted between 15 January 2014 and 15 March 2014. Data was collected through Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale and a questionnaire which elicits how nurses describe characteristics of job satisfaction and workplace violence. Results: The average age of the nurses was 29.48 +/- 6.47 years. It was found that 65.6% of the nurses were exposed to violence and 68% of the nurses were exposed to verbal abuse. Nurse's job satisfaction scores were found to be moderate at 2.99 +/- 0.59. There was a significant importance between exposure to violence and job satisfaction (p<0.05). Nurses that were exposed to violence in the workplace had lower job satisfaction scores compared to the nurses that weren't. Conclusion: In our research it was found that exposure to work place violence was an adverse environmental factor that reduces job satisfaction. In this respect, since violence in the emergency departments is on the rise, preventing workplace violence will have a positive effect on job satisfaction of nurses.

    Moving Dry Cupping Therapy Reduces Upper Shoulder and Neck Pain in Office Workers
    (Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2015) Arslan, Muzeyyen; Yaman, Gulnur; Ilhan, Esra; Alemdag, Murat; Bahar, Arzu; Dane, Senol
    Purpose: The effectiveness of active dry cupping of the upper shoulder and neck to alleviate pain caused by office workers will be investigated. Methods: This randomized, parallel-group trial compared the effectiveness and safety of dry moving cupping therapy for office workers whose neck pain had persisted at least 5 weeks. Those randomized to cupping received up to 10 dry moving cupping therapy sessions over a 5 week period. The study was completed with 40 healthy women subjects who worked at one univeristy in Turkey, with 20 as control and 20 as the study group. Results: Participants mean score of pain on neck was 5.55 (SD:0.57) for pre-test and 2.7 (SD:0.27) for post-test. The decrease of score of pain between pre- and post-test was statistically significant (t=10.14, p=0.002). In the control group there was no significant change in pain score in the statistical significant (t=0.326, p=0.748). Conclusions: Cupping therapy is a non-invasive and harmless therapeutic application and it can be confidently used to reduce the upper shoulder and neck pain in office. It should be considered for all musculoskeletal pain conditions as a complementto medical treatment.

    Right-sided lateralization of skin temperature in healthy young persons
    (Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2016) Demirel, Havva; Bahar, Arzu; Gokgoz, Nurcan; Arslan, Muzeyyen; Dane, Senol
    Purpose: Previous studies reported a peripheral immune asymmetry and lateralization of different paired organ cancers. Because of the close relationship of immune system with body temperature, the aim of the study was to test the possible lateralization of skin temperature. Materials and Methods: Four hundred sixty three healthy subjects (325 women, 138 men) with an average age of 23.62 years (SD = 8.65) participated in this study. All skin temperature measurements were done 8:00-9:00 a.m. Skin temperature was assessed for three different points in skin: axillary, thumb and external auditory. Results: Skin temperature was statistically significantly higher on the right side of the body than on the left side, when measured by axillary and thumb temperatures. But there was no statistically significant difference in external auditory temperature. Conclusion: The asymmetry of skin temperature may result from the peripheral immune asymmetry or the asymmetric lymph node distribution.
