Effective management of sedentary behavior among Indian university students: An empirical exploration into health-related behavior
Authors: Khatri Somya , Sharma Ritu 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
The past few years have witnessed a notable rise in sedentary tendencies, unveiling a modern era of prolonged stillness and diminished physical engagement. This study sought to assess the feasibility of a digital health intervention (DHI) to reduce overall sedentary behavior among university students. The study also identifies distinct subgroups within Indian universities that exhibit a heightened propensity for engaging in unhealthy behaviors.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The research design used was a quasi-experimental (pre–post) design. A total of 500 participants were selected using a simple randomized sampling method (250 belonging to the control group and 250 belonging to the experimental group). These participants actively engaged in the study for 2 weeks. The participants completed the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) before the intervention to evaluate their level of sedentary behavior. To evaluate the impact of the intervention on subjectively measured sedentary behavior, statistical analyses were conducted using the paired-samples t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with the post
hoc Bonferroni test.

RESULTS:
The findings demonstrated a significant t-value of sedentary behavior for the entire group, with t(249) = 4.88, P < .05. Furthermore, the F-value of 28.787 indicated a statistically significant difference in the sedentary behavior between the experimental and control groups. When considering female university students specifically, the t-value for sedentary behavior was significant at t(105) = 3.22, P < .05, and for male university students, the t-value for sedentary behavior was found to be significant at t(143) = 3.69, P < .05.

CONCLUSION:
Smartphone-based health interventions targeting sedentary behavior reduction demonstrated promising outcomes in facilitating health behavior change among university students.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:Childhood obesity is one of the most serious global public health challenges of the 21stcentury, affecting every country in the world. Mothers’ beliefs and perceptions about their children’s obesity and overweight are key to obesity prevention. Given the importance of this issue, the present study aimed to determine perceptions and beliefs of mothers’ nutritional behaviors related to overweight preschool children.MATERIALS AND METHODS:This cross-sectional study was conducted on 350 mothers of preschool children with health records who were referred to child health assessment centers. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the health belief model. SPSS19 was used for data analysis.P< 0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS:The participants (350) included 52% 25–36 years old, and 57.3% live in rural areas. There was a significant difference in the mean perceived susceptibility between mothers with obese children and normal-weight children (P< 0.05). There was a significant positive relationship between severity and perceived benefits and a significant negative relationship with mothers’ knowledge. There was also a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy and perceived barriers (P> 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study showed that maternal health beliefs were effective in the formation of obesity prevention behaviors in children. In this regard, educational interventions can play an important role in the proper practice of such behaviors.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Oncology nurses are confronted with various occupational hazards; consequently, it is of great importance to identify and measure their occupational health needs. Due to the fact that standard tools are not available to assess these needs, this study was conducted to develop a tool for assessing oncology nurses’ occupational health needs.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This study consisted of two phases from 2020 to 2021. The first phase was item generation and tool design. The initial development of the item pool was based on the result of the qualitative study and literature search. The second phase was item reduction and psychometric evaluation of the formulated tool including, face, content, and construct validity and reliability. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis and convergent validity with the participation of 300 oncology nurses. The reliability of the tool was assessed using internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and test-retest (intra-cluster correlation coefficient).

RESULTS:
The mean content validity index (CVI) of the tool was 0.95. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that this tool consisted of 69 items and four factors, explaining 65.88% of the variance. The results of the convergent validity assessment showed a significant positive correlation between the mean scores of occupational health needs and occupational stress (P < 0.0001 and r = 0.40). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.98) and tool stability (0.98) confirmed the appropriate reliability of the tool.

CONCLUSION:
The developed tool is recommended as a valid and reliable tool for assessing oncology nurses’ occupational health needs that can be used both in practice and in future studies.

Published: April 2024

Introduction:
In young adults, the mandibular condyle plays an essential role in the stability of long-term orthodontic and orthognathic treatments. Its morphology varies significantly between individuals and is associated with age, sex, facial type, occlusal force, functional load, malocclusion type, and right and left sides.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to estimate the association between morphology of condyle, ramus height, and mandibular plane (MP) angle in young adult patients with various vertical skeletal growth patterns.

Materials and Methods:
The present study was conducted on 90 pretreatment panoramic radiographs of subjects aged between 17 and 21 year of age; the patients were divided into three groups as hypodivergent, normodiveregent, and hyperdivergent with 30 subjects in each group on the basis of Sella-Nasion-MP angle. Various parameters were measured to record the condyle morphology, ramus height, and mandibular angle for all the groups.

Results:
The intergroup comparisons showed that hypodivergent group has statistically significantly greater values compared to those in the hyperdivergent group. A statistically significant difference was detected between the normodivergent and hypodivergent groups only in the condylar area measurements

Conclusion:
The condylar height was greater in patient with Class I malocclusion. The condylar height width and other perimeters were greater in males than females.

The Relationship of the Traumatic Birth Perception of Women with Birth Memories and Recall
Authors: Yilmaz NNK , Kiliç M 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
A traumatic childbirth experience can have both short- and long-term health and well-being consequences for the woman and her family. If a woman experiences traumatic childbirth and retains negative memories for a long time, this may impact her future childbirth experience, mother-infant bonding and breastfeeding problems, and her relationship with other family members.

Aim:
The research was conducted to evaluate the relationship between women’s traumatic birth perception and birth memory and recall.

Material and Method:
This descriptive study was conducted at Erzurum Research Hospital between August 16 and October 2021. Two hundred sixty women who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study sample. The personal information protocol, “Traumatic Childbirth Perception Scale,” and “Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire” were used to collect data.

Results:
The participants’ mean age was 30.13 ± 5.85, and 43.4% had their first birth. Of the participants, 45% had one living child, 72.9% had a planned pregnancy, and 62.8% had a normal birth. Whereas more than a third of women in the study perceived childbirth and childbirth processes as moderately traumatic, another third had a high and very high perception. The birth memories and recall mean scores of the mothers within the scope of the study were 81.09 ± 22.69. According to the study results, it was determined that women’s birth memories and recall were negatively affected as their traumatic childbirth perceptions increased.

Conclusion:
It is possible to reduce traumatic childbirth perception with the continuous care and support provided by midwives during childbirth. Improving women’s traumatic childbirth perception will also positively impact women’s long-term memories of childbirth experience.

Authors: Bayrak HC , Adiguzel IF , Demir M , Tarlacık AO 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Blood loss during and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can lead to substantial morbidity and the need for blood transfusions. There are several methods to minimize blood loss and decrease transfusion rates in patients undergoing TKA. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent with known efficacy for achieving these goals, is combined with tourniquets to reduce bleeding in arthroplasty surgeries. Our study investigated the effects of various combinations of tranexamic acid and tourniquet use on bleeding in knee arthroplasty in 558 patients.

Aim:
We aimed to determine the method that would provide the least blood loss and transfusion need in knee arthroplasty surgery.

Methods:
Between January 2018 and December 2022, 558 patients aged between 55 and 85 years underwent TKA surgery for grade 4 gonarthrosis in our clinic, and their decrease in hemoglobin value and whether they were transfused or not were analyzed. The patients were divided into four groups based on use of tranexamic acid and tourniquet. Demographic variables and patient data (body mass index, INR values, and preoperative hemoglobin values) were recorded.

Results:
There were 558 patients with a mean age of 68.19 (67 ± 6.949) years. In group 1, tranexamic acid was not used in 128 patients and tourniquet was used only during cementation; in group 2, in 132 patients, tranexamic acid was not used and tourniquet was used throughout the surgery; in group 3, in 158 patients, tranexamic acid was used and tourniquet was used throughout the surgery; in group 4, in 140 patients, tranexamic acid was used and tourniquet was used only during cementation. The decrease in hemoglobin value and transfusion rate was lowest in group 3 and highest in group 1. Besides, there was a greater decrease in hemoglobin value in group 2 than in group 4 and the transfusion rate was similar.

Conclusions:
This clinical study showed that using tranexamic acid and a tourniquet throughout surgery significantly reduced the decrease in hemoglobin value and the need for transfusion.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Tobacco smoking statistics are alarming and the oral mucosa is the first human part of the body that is exposed to the toxic substances of smoking.

Aims:
Considering the high prevalence rate of tobacco-associated problems in the oral cavity and few studies on the Iranian population regarding the effects of smoking on the oral cavity, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between smoking and oral lesions in the Iranian population.

Materials and Methods:
Observational study. In this observational study, the oral cavities of 200 participants (smokers = 100 and non-smokers = 100) were examined by a trained dental student under the supervision of an oral and maxillofacial medicine expert, and the presence of coated tongue, leukoedema, leukoplakia, smoker’s palate, smoker’s melanosis, erythroplakia, frictional hyperkeratosis, acute pseudomembranous candidiasis, and erythematous candidiasis were recorded. Xerostomia was evaluated based on participants’ self-reporting through a questionnaire. All data were analyzed using T-test, Chi-square test, odd ratio, 95% confidence interval, Fisher’s exact test, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.

Results:
The results of this study showed smoking is significantly associated with an increased risk of coated tongue (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.32-3.54, P = 0.005), smoker’s melanosis (OR: 6.176, 95% CI: 3.28-11.62, P = 0.00002), and frictional hyperkeratosis (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 0.68-2.60, P = 0.005). However, no significant association was observed between smoking and leukoedema (OR: 1, 95% CI: 0.51-1.94, P = 1). None of the participants presented smoker’s palate, erythroplakia, and candidiasis.

Conclusions:
This study’s results showed that smokers exhibited a greater chance of developing oral lesions compared to non-smokers.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACTBackground:Interventions during pregnancy might increase the risk of depression becausethey may cause anxiety and stress in the mother. In these cases, it is important to provide social support to pregnant women.Aim:This study aimed to determine the relationship between the risk of depression and the perception of social support in pregnant women who had undergone intrauterine intervention (IUI).Methods:The population of this descriptive study consisted of all pregnant women (n = 267) who attended a state hospital in Izmir between March and September 2022 and who had undergone IUI. Data were obtained using a sociodemographic data form, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test were used in the study.Results:In this study, of the women, 42.7% had ≥3 pregnancies; the gestational week of 93.6% of the pregnant women was between 13-24 weeks. The mean scores of the pregnant women were 11.12 ± 8.04 on the BDI and 61.06 ± 19.84 on the MSPSS. According to the results of the correlation analysis, there was a weak (<0.05) negative reverse correlation between the scales.Conclusions:In the results of this study, it has been determined that as perceived social support increases in pregnant women, symptoms of depression are less likely to occur. This result is important in terms of indicating the need for providing social support to pregnant women. Women should be able to identify depression risk factors during this process to receive appropriate care and support.
