Objectives: To verify the 6–minute peg board and ring test (6PBRT) validity for functional evaluation in hemodialysis patients and upper limb (UL) functional capacity by the 6PBRT. Methods: In a cross–sectional study, patients on hemodialysis three times a week for at least 6 months performed the 6PBRT as well as handgrip strength and endurance. Health–related quality of life (HRQoL) by KDQOL–SF questionnaire, Human Activities Profile (HAP), and level of social participation were also evaluated. Convergent validity was verified by correlation analysis. Results: Thirty–seven individuals were evaluated, predominantly adult males (67.6%). The mean age was 50.1 ± 16.4 years old. The average number of rings moved during the 6PBRT was 306.2 ± 68.2. The 6PBRT correlated with handgrip strength ( r = 0.37; p = 0.025), the domain “Functional Capacity” ( r = 0.49; p = 0.008) of the KDQOL–SF questionnaire, and with HAP score ( r = 0.43; p = 0.01). There was no correlation between handgrip endurance ( r = 0.18; p = 0.281) and social participation ( r = −0.12; p = 0.48). Heart rate and dyspnea (modified Borg scale) increased by 13.3 bpm (95% CI: 9.8, 16.8) and 0.5 points (95% CI: 0.1, 0.9) during the 6PBRT. Conclusion: The 6PBRT is associated with UL strength, physical aspects related to HRQoL, and daily activity level, which accounts for its construct validity. Therefore, the test has potential value in the functional evaluation of the ULs in hemodialysis patients. However, in this population, the level of social participation seems to depend on other factors than the functional capacity of the UL itself.

Authors: Majid Sabhiya , Khan Mosin Saleem , Nisar Najila , Bhat Javid A , Haq Inaamul , Khan S Muhammad Salim 
Published: September 2023

Purpose: Due to a lack of effective antiviral treatment, several vaccines have been put forth to curb SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection and to reduce the mortality and morbidity rate by eliciting a protective immune response, primarily through virus-neutralizing antibodies specific for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This longitudinal study was designed to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness and immune response following the administration of adenoviral vaccine, COVISHIELD, in Indian population who were previously uninfected with SARS-CoV-2 and to reveal the effect of various sociodemographic, inflammatory and biochemical factors on antibody response.
Methods: Briefly, the total immunoglobulin G (IgG) against SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid protein along with the immunological markers were estimated by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology. Biochemical parameters were estimated by spectrometry.
Results: A total of 348 subjects received two doses of COVISHIELD (224 males, 124 females). The mean age of the study subjects was 42.03 ± 13.54 years. Although both the doses of COVISHIELD against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induced a robust immune response that lasted for months in all the subjects, the total IgG titer against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was found significantly higher in subjects ≥50 years of age, and those with obesity, elevated triglycerides and elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels.
Conclusions: There is a definite effect of age and biochemical factors on the immunogenicity of COVISHIELD. An understanding of these factors could not only impact the design of vaccines and help improve vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy but also assist in decisions on vaccination schedules, in order to combat this deadly pandemic.

Authors: ARSLAN Büşra , ŞAHİN Dilek 
Published: September 2023

Aim: Root cause analysis is widely used in healthcare services to analyze the causes of near misses and adverse events with a systematic approach. This study, it is aimed to determine the root causes of rejected samples, define corrective/preventive actions, and create an action plan that will help the implementation of the suggested remedial actions and evaluate their effectiveness.
Material and Methods: For the 21-step methodology, observation, interview, document and record review techniques were applied. The steps of the process were visualized with the flowchart technique and the reasons for rejected samples were analyzed with team members. The identified causes were visualized with the Fishbone Diagram technique, and the risk reduction strategies and improvement actions for rejected samples were determined by the Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. The Action Hierarchy tool was used to evaluate the power of improvement actions.
Results: The root causes of rejected samples were identified as inadequate orientation and training practices, lack of applicability of policies and procedures, lack of monitoring and evaluation, inefficient process flow and lack of equipment. A total of 11 improvement actions were determined and planned for these root causes. It was predicted that there will be an approximately 64.5% decrease in risk scores in general with the basic measures presented in the performed FMEA.
Conclusion: Overall, it was found that the 21-step methodology is suitable for determining root causes by offering detailed guidance.

Published: September 2023

Amaç: Ailelerin beslenme alışkanlıklarının çocukluk obezitesine katkısının olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu nedenle çocuklar ve ebeveynlerinin yeme davranışlarının birlikte incelenmesi önemlidir. Çalışma çocuklar açısından ev ortamındaki obezojenik faktörleri ve ebeveynler ile çocuğun yeme alışkanlıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma Eylül-Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında iki ilkokul ve iki ortaokulda eğitim gören 1235 çocuk ve ebeveynleri ile yapılmış ilişki arayıcı tipte bir araştırmadır. Çalışma verileri, çocukların ebeveynlerinden “Çocuk-Ebeveyn Bilgi Formu” ve “Aile Beslenme Alışkanlıkları Soru Formu” ile toplandı.
Bulgular: Çalışmada çocukların %13,7’sinin fazla kilolu, %17,6'sının obez olduğu belirlendi. Ebeveynlerin belirttiğine göre “salon/oturma odasında yemek” ve “televizyon izlerken, okurken, çalışırken yemek” anne, baba ve çocuk arasında en sık paylaşılan beslenme alışkanlıklarıdır. Ailelerin evlerindeki tuzlu ve tatlı atıştırmalık sayısı 0 ile 10 arasında değişmektedir ve ebeveynlerin %42,6’sı bu yiyecekleri kolay ulaşılabilen yerlerde bulundurmaktadır. Çocukların %47,8’i ebeveynlerinden izinsiz bazen tatlı ve tuzlu atıştırmalık tüketmektedir. Anne, baba ve çocuğun yeme alışkanlıkları arasında maddeye göre değişen orta veya düşük düzeyde pozitif korelasyon bulundu (p0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan ailelerin ev ortamı obezojenik yiyecekler bakımından zengindir. Ebeveynler ile çocuklarının obeziteye katkı sağlayacak şekilde benzer yeme alışkanlıkları vardır. Aile tabanlı obezite önleme programlarında çocukların ve ebeveynlerinin yeme alışkanlıklarının birlikte ele alması sağlıklı beslenme davranışının geliştirilmesinde etkili olacaktır.

Authors: ÖZLÜ Can , ALKAN Sevil 
Published: September 2023

Aim: Scientific publications serve as indicators of global interest and activity in research. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the scientific literature on bone marrow transplantation in Turkey between 1990 and 2022.
Material and Methods: In this bibliometric study, we searched the Web of Science database for all biomedical articles published between 1990 and 2022. MESH terms related to "Bone marrow transplantation" were used as the search keyword. The search was then narrowed by selecting Turkey as the country of publication. All data were transferred from the relevant database to Vosviewer and biblioshiny programs and analyzed.
Results: A total of 121 countries contributed to the bone marrow transplant literature with 41,236 publications. Turkey ranked 13th with 913 publications (2.214%). and 402 articles by 2991 authors from Turkey. This corresponded to 0.305 publications per author. These publications received 6.183 citations per publication. After 2014, the number of publications increased. Most articles (n=123) were published in 2015. In 2016, the number of publications decreased by almost half after the first peak and did not fall below 50 publications/per year in the following years. Ankara University (n=207), Hacettepe University (n=166), Gazi University (n=95), Erciyes University (n=82), and Akdeniz University (n=79) were the institutions that published the most publications on bone marrow transplantation.
Conclusion: Bone marrow transplantation appears to be of interest to Turkish researchers; however, not to the expected level. Turkey continues to lag behind other countries in this field despite an increase in research activity pertaining to bone marrow transplants in recent years.

Published: September 2023

Amaç: Literatürde, eczacıların empati becerilerinin değerlendirildiği çok az çalışma bulunmaktadır. Türkiye’de ise eczacılarda empati becerilerine yönelik herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu çalışma Erzurum ilinde mesleğini icra eden eczacıların empati seviyelerini değerlendirme amacı ile yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Veri toplamada sosyo-demografik veri formu ve Empati Ölçeği (EÖ) kullanılmıştır. Baron-Cohen ve Wheelwright tarafından geliştirilmiş, Baysan-Arabacı ve Bora tarafından Türkçe geçerlilik-güvenirliliği yapılmıştır. 60 maddeden oluşan ve 4’lü likert derecelendirme tipinde olan ölçeğin iç güvenirlik katsayısı 0,85 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Anket formu Google Forms üzerinden hazırlanarak hedef kişilere gönderilmiştir. Anketi cevaplamayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden 74 eczacı ile uygulama gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Genel olarak eczacıların empati puanlarının (49,26±12,33) ortalamanın üstünde olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışma alanı, öğrenim durumu, meslekte geçirilen yıl sayısı ve yaş değişkenlerine göre yapılan tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) sonuçlarına göre; çalışma alanı ve empati arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gözlenirken (p=0,036); öğrenim durumu, meslekte geçirilen yıl sayısı, yaş ve empati arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gözlenmemiştir (sırasıyla p=0,172; p=0,532; p=0,541). Cinsiyet, medeni durum, mesleğini gönüllü tercih etme durumu değişkenlerine göre yapılan t testi sonuçlarına göre, empati puanları ve cinsiyet arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gözlenirken (p=0,041); medeni durum, mesleğini gönüllü tercih etme durumu ve empati arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık gözlenmemiştir.
Sonuç: Empatinin iletişim becerileri üzerindeki etkisi göz önüne alındığında; bu yeteneğin arttırılması, sağlık çıktılarının optimal seviyelere ulaşmasını sağlayacaktır. Eczacıların empatisini geliştirmek için sürekli ve devam eden eğitimlerin yanı sıra eczacılık eğitiminde psikodrama, rol alma ve rol model tekniklerinin kullanıldığı empati kurslarının/derslerinin eklenmesi önerilebilir.
Resistance Rates of Streptococcus agalactiae Strains Isolated from Urine Samples to Various Antibiotics
Authors: AYGAR İsmail Selçuk 
Published: September 2023

Aim: Group B Streptococcus (GBS), also known as Streptococcus agalactiae, are Gram-positive, encapsulated bacteria found in the normal human gastrointestinal and urogenital flora. A wide variety of infectious diseases can cause urogenital system infections in newborns, elderly people, immunocompromised people, pregnant women, and adults. In this study, we aimed to inform clinicians about the agents that can be used in intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis by examining the antibiotic susceptibility of GBS strains isolated from urine samples from the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic in our laboratory.
Material and Methods: Isolates of the S. agalactiae isolated from a total of 222 urine samples from the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic that came to our Medical Microbiology laboratory between January 2022 and December 2022 were included and the data of these isolates were evaluated retrospectively. The clinical samples that came to our laboratory were inoculated on Sheep blood agar medium and incubated at 37°C for 18-24 hours. Quantitatively seeded urine culture ≥104 CFU/ml grown bacteria was considered a uropathogenic. Urogenital skin flora element or three and more different types of bacteria growing cultures as contamination evaluated.
Results: Due to the group selected as the sample, 100% of the patients were female. The age range of the patients ranged from 12 to 72, and the mean age was calculated as 30.16. All GBS isolates were susceptible to penicillin, linezolid, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tigecycline, teicoplanin, and vancomycin.
Conclusion: Penicillin resistance was not found in our study. However, resistant strains were detected in erythromycin, clindamycin, and levofloxacin, which stand out as other options in cases where penicillin cannot be used.

Authors: Cahyani Intan Putri , Syaikhah Hanifah 
Published: September 2023

Era cyberculture memungkinkan berbagai jenis akun bermunculan di media sosial, termasuk akun pseudonim di Twitter. Memiliki konsep yang berbeda dengan media sosial lain, Twitter menjadi tempat para pengguna akun pseudonim untuk leluasa bercerita dan mengekpresikan diri melalui pengungkapan diri tanpa takut mendapatkan social judgement karena yang digunakan bukanlah identitas asli. Riset ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis pengalaman pengguna akun pseudonim di Twitter dalam melakukan pengungkapan diri.. Riset ini merupakan studi deksriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode fenomenologi. Sebanyak tujuh orang informan dilibatkan dalam wawancara mendalam yang digunakan sebagai sumber data primer penelitian. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Proses Self disclosure yang terjadi melalui akun pseudonim Twitter berawal dari adanya hambatan komunikasi yang terjadi di kehidupan nyata yang menyebabkan para pengguna memutuskan untuk menggunakan akun pseudonim sebagai tempat pengguna mengungkapkan dirinya. Adanya ketertarikan yang sama antar pengguna akun pseudonim yang kemudian dijadikan sebagai bahan untuk berinteraksi dan berkomunikasi satu sama lain. Proses self-disclosure dimulai dengan keputusan pengguna untuk membuka diri dan berbagi cerita pribadi serta mengungkapkan emosi kepada sesama pengguna akun pseudonim. Tingkat keterbukaan diri ini menjadi penentu keberlanjutan hubungan antara mereka. Dalam aktivitas pengguna akun pseudonim, terdapat tiga pola self-disclosure. Pola pertama adalah pengungkapan diri melalui cuitan tweet tanpa ditujukan kepada siapapun. Pola kedua adalah self-disclosure dengan adanya feedback melalui reply section atau melalui pesan langsung. Pola ketiga adalah pola komunikasi banyak arah melalui interaksi dengan beberapa orang melalui tweet atau grup pesan langsung.Kata Kunci: Akun pseudonim; Fenomenologi; Pengalaman pengguna; Pengungkapan diri; Twitter
