Öğe A case-control study on depression, anxiety, and belief in sexual myths in trans women(Frontiers Media S.A., 2023) Uyar, Betül; Yücel, İlyas; Uyar, Emre; Budak, Elif Ateş; Kelle, İlker; Bülbüloğlu, SemraObjective: The purpose of our study was to investigate depression, anxiety, and belief in sexual myths in trans women. Methods: This is a prospective case-control study. The case group included 60 trans women who were referred to the Medical Biology and Genetics Department from various clinics of the research and training hospital where this study was conducted. The control group consisted of 60 healthy male individuals who presented to the same hospital for routine health follow-ups and collecting documents showing their health. In data collection, we used a Personal Information Form, the Sexual Myths Scale, and the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories. The IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: In the case group, 26.7% of the participants were sex workers, and all were single. While 46.7% of the participants in the case group were living with their families, 66.7% were smokers, and 13.3% were receiving hormone treatment. All 60 participants in the control group were also single. The participants in the control group had higher levels of believing sexual myths and lower levels of anxiety and depression than those in the case group (p = 0.000). The mean scores of the participants in the control group in the Sexual Orientation and Sexual Violence subscales of the Sexual Myths Scale were higher than the mean scores of those in the case group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The trans women who participated in this study had higher levels of anxiety and depression and lower levels of believing sexual myths than the control group. The mental health of trans women can be disrupted due to various treatments they are exposed to in society such as stigma, discrimination, and violence. Their higher anxiety and depression levels in this study could be explained by this exposure. This exposure could also have led to their lower total scores in the Sexual Myths Scale, as well as lower scores in the Sexual Violence and Sexual Orientation subscales.Öğe The effects of lockdown measures due to COVID-19 pandemic on burn cases(Wiley, 2020) Akkoç, Mehmet Fatih; Bülbüloğlu, Semra; Özdemir, MehmetIn this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of lockdown measures implemented due to COVID-19 on aetiology, sociodemographic characteristics, and clinical status of burn cases. This study was carried out retrospectively at the Burn Unit of Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital. The burn cases during the COVID-19 outbreak were compared with those of the previous 2 years. Statistical analyses were carried out using the IBM SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) Statistics 25. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and Shapiro-Wilk test were used for data evaluation. Results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and P < .05 significance level. It was determined that burn cases were reduced by half during the COVID-19 compared to the previous 2 years. Despite the increase in the number of third-degree burns and surgeries, it was determined that the length of hospital stay decreased by an average of two thirds. Hot liquids have been identified as the most important cause of burns in all years. New studies should be conducted in order to examine the social dimension of COVID-19 pandemic in burn cases and to prevent these cases completely. The short hospital stay preferred by clinicians after COVID-19 and possible problems that may arise should be investigated.Öğe Examining the perceived stress and body image in burn patients: A cross-sectional study(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Uyar, Betül; Akkoç, Mehmet Fatih; Bülbüloğlu, Semra; Yılmaz, ResulThis study aimed to examine the perceived stress and body image in burn patients and the relationship between these two variables. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study included total of 144 patients who had burn injuries, received treatment in a research and training hospital and were scheduled to be discharged. The data were collected prospectively by the researchers, using descriptive methods, Kruskal Wallis test, paired samples t test, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Of the patients, 59% were between the ages of 18 and 35 years, 68.1% were male, 65.3% had second-degree burns, 77.1% had burn surfaces ranging between 10% and 20% of their body, and 54.9% had autograft surgery. The burn patients aged 51 years and over had higher perceived stress than younger patients, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P < 0.05). As the percentage of burn surface increased, the perceived stress increased, and the perceived body image weakened (P < 0.05). The burn patients with autograft surgery had lower perceived stress and higher perceived body image than those without autograft surgery, and the difference between them was statistically significant (P < 0.01). This study found an inverse relationship between perceived stress and body image in burn patients, which was affected by the percentage of burn surface and autograft surgery. Relevant interventions are suggested to increase perceived body image in burn patients and reduce their perceived stress.Öğe Investigation of red cell distribution width as a prognostic criterion in severe burns(Wiley, 2021) Akkoç, Mehmet Fatih; Bülbüloğlu, SemraThis study was conducted to examine red cell distribution width (RDW) as a prognostic criterion in severe burns. The study is a descriptive correlational study and was carried out retrospectively. Patients with high RDW and low albumin values among severe burn injuries in the burn unit of a university hospital constituted half of the sample. Severe burns with RDW within normal range and a prognostic criterion for which albumin level normal and closest to normal accounted for the other half. RDW and albumin values were compared with the clinical results of patients with severe burns. IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Statistics 25 was used for data analysis. Of the burn patients, 38.33% were between the age of 65-80, 51.67% were men, and 92.5% had third-degree burns. The mean albumin level of the patients was 2.39 +/- 0.34 g/dL, and the mean RDW level was 18.47 +/- 6.15%. The length of the stay in the intensive care unit was 13.45 +/- 7.83 days, and the duration of central venous catheter use was 23.41 +/- 8.25 days. High RDW and low albumin values were found to be associated with death, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and more blood transfusion. High RDW and hypoalbuminemia significantly affect the clinical results of severe burns. Both parameters are effective in determining the clinical course of burn patients, the length of hospital stay, presence of catheters and medication treatment protocol.Öğe Investigation of the monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio as a prognostic criterion in burn patients(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Akkoç, Mehmet Fatih; Bülbüloğlu, Semra; Kapı, Emin; Bayram, Mehmet; Gurgah, TubaIn this study, it was aimed to investigate the monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio as a prognostic criterion in adult burn patients. A descriptive and cross-sectional method was adopted in this study. The sample included 177 patients with burn injuries. This study was conducted in a research and training hospital in Turkey. Data were collected by the researchers in the burn unit. Descriptive methods, Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney U, ROC curve, and correlation analyses were used for the statistical analyses of the data. While 66.1% of the patients were second-degree burn patients, 96.6% of all patients recovered and were discharged from the hospital, and the rest died. In this study, the monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratios of the patients decreased as their clinical condition worsened. The mean C-reactive protein value of the patients was 8.52 ± 5.02 on the 7th day. A statistically significant correlation was found between an increase in monocyte counts and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein concentrations at the 24th hour, 3rd day and 7th day after the burn (p < 0.01). The monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio can be considered a biomarker in the identification and follow-up of sepsis and morbidity durations in burn patients. A low monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio in burn patients can provide an insight into the severity of sepsis.
