In this study the relationship between Health Services students' smoking behaviors and self-actualization, interpersonal support and stress management was explored. Students (372) in the Health and Social programs of the Erciyes University vocational college participated in the research. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( M ± SD ) or median with minumum-maximum values. Over one third (37.9%) of the students were smokers. It was determined that male students, students of social programs, students who had an income of ≤83 USD, students who had a good perception of general health, students who did not have a serious health problem, students who participated in sports and who did not consume alcohol smoked much more than the other groups ( p < 0.05). The mean of students' self-actualization points was 36.03 ± 7.40, of interpersonal support points, 20.45 ± 4.04, and of stress management points, 17.87 ± 4.13. The means of the nonsmoker students' self-actualization and interpersonal support points were found to be significantly high ( p < 0.05).
The aim in this study was to determine the relationship between depressive symptom frequency and back pain in students. Analysis was made of 250 vocational college students. The Zung Depression Inventory (ZDI; Zung, 1965), the Visual Analog Scale (VAS; Price, McGrath, Rafii, & Buckingham, 1983) and the Aberdeen Low Back Pain Scale (Ruta, Garratt, Wardlaw, & Russell, 1994) were used to determine depressive symptoms and back pain. The probability of depression scores of 50 or more was 1.8 times greater for those who were not interested in any sports than for those interested in amateur sports. There was a positive correlation between severity of the pain, general pain, neck pain, back pain, low back or upper back pain, low back pain, and the ZDI scores of the students. Negative correlations were found between age, BMI and ZDI scores.
Two widely used evaluation tools for the quality of life are the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (100-item version) (WHOQOL-100), however, these tools have not been compared for patients with stroke to date. The specific objectives of this study were: 1) to study the effect of stroke on quality of life (QOL) as measured by the SF-36 and by the WHOQOL-100, and 2) to compare these two instruments.Seventy patients who were admitted to the neurology clinic six months after stroke were included in this study.As a data-collecting device, the SF-36 and WHOQOL-100 scales were used. An additional questionnaire was administered to obtain demographic data.Pearson correlation analysis was performed and Blant-Altman Plots were used. Psychometric analysis was performed.In stroke, the most flustered domains of quality of life were vitality and general health perception fields in the SF-36 and in the WHOQL-100, independence level field, overall QOL and general health perceptions. While there was a fair degree of relationship (r= 0.25-0.50) between general health perceptions, physical, social and mental fields that were similar fields of scales, a fair and moderate to good relationship was found between different fields. Limits of agreement in similar domains of the two instruments were very large. In all four demonstrated Bland-Altman plots, there was agreement of the scales in the measurements of similar fields of quality of life.This study demonstrated that both the SF-36 and WHOQOL-100 quality of life scales are useful in the practical evaluation of patients with stroke.
Health services include the services provided to prevent the occurrence of diseases and disabilities, to ensure that the sick and disabled are restored to their former health, and to those who cannot regain their health, to adapt to the environment. As an essential element of the health system, health services appear as an important factor in raising the health level of the society. Reforms in health systems worldwide have been carried out to increase the health level of the community and improve the quality of health services. Satisfaction is one of the critical determinants of quality in health services. It is possible to mention many factors that affect satisfaction in health services. However, in the literature, it is emphasized that health personnel-patient interaction, trust in a health institution, the fee of service received, physical facilities of the health institution, and nutrition services affect satisfaction.
