    (2009) Yasan A.; Tamam L.; Özkan M.; Gürgen F.
    Although premarital sex is common in many western societies, it is quite limited particularly in eastern societies. We aimed of in this study; on premarital sexual attitudes/ behaviors and related factors in University students. Among our subjects, we found that premarital masturbation rates among women and men were 26.47% and 83.60% respectively. We also found that the rates of having coitus with another person were 5.88% in women, and 39.92% in men. We found showed that premarital sexual attitudes and behaviors were more liberal than those in societies living within traditional Islamic culture, and more conservative than those in developed societies. Because of increase in premarital sexual experiences, in unwanted pregnancy rates and sexually transmitted diseases, sexual education and studies facilitating the access to sources of information are needed to prevent these problems from affecting youth psychologically and physiologically.

    Prevalence of PTSD and related factors in communities living in conflictual area: Diyarbakir case.
    (2008) Yasan A.; Saka G.; Ertem M.; Ozkan M.; Ataman M.
    OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to investigate the distribution of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among adults who were living in the Diyarbakir city center. METHOD: Data was obtained from 708 participants that represented the demographic structure of Diyarbakir. Houses to be visited were determined in collaboration with the Turkish Institute of Statistics. RESULTS: The prevalence of traumatic life experience was 47.9%. Most prevalent traumatic life experiences were forced emigration and witnessing of a case of murder or injury. The lifelong and current PTSD prevalence was 34.9% and 15.1% respectively. We concluded that the prevalence of traumatic experiences and subsequent PTSD was high among people who were living in areas of conflict, and treatment opportunities were inadequate. CONCLUSION: An important finding of this study is the association between the range of prevalence rates of traumatic experiences and risk factors for PTSD in an armed conflict region in Turkey. There is a need for studies that will also include people living in rural areas in order to understand the full picture of problems encountered by those in areas of conflict. Moreover, we believe in the importance of an effective approach of institutional and occupational organizations not to leave these people alone with their traumatic experiences.
