Item Investigating knowledge levels of university students about infertility(AVES İbrahim KARA, 2018) Siyez D.M.; Seymenler S.; Esen E.; Siyez E.; Kağnıcı Y.; Baran B.; Öztürk B.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge levels of university students about infertility and investigate the differences in knowledge levels according to sociodemographic variables and some lifestyle factors. Material and methods: The sample of the study consisted of 9693 undergraduate students (5002 females, 4691 males) from 12 regions. Regions were determined according to Statistical Region Units Classifica-tion-1 criteria. Infertility Knowledge Test (IKT) was used as a data collection tool. Results: It was found that university students’ IKT scores significantly differed according to gender (p<0.01); age (p<0.05); body mass index (p<0.05); reproductive health education status (p<0.001), presence of infertile individuals around (p<0.001); having sexual intercourse (p<0.001); smoking (p<0.001) and alcohol consumption frequency (p<0.05). Conclusion: University students’ lack of knowledge about family planning, effects of age and sexual intercourse timing on infertility was remarkable. However, it was determined that the knowledge level of infertility risk factors related to substance use and body mass index was high. It is believed that increasing the level of knowledge about infertility among individuals will positively effect their awareness of risk factors and facilitate their search for timely medical assistance. Sexual health education can be effective in increasing university students' knowledge of infertility. © 2018 by Turkish Association of Urology.Item Reproductive System Augmented Reality Application for Sexual Health Classes(Routledge, 2020) Baran B.; Kaptanoğlu Ş.N.; Esen E.; Siyez D.M.This study aims to evaluate a reproductive systems augmented reality (AR) application for use in sexual health education. AR material included learner interactivity and a 3D video. Sixteen counselor candidates voluntarily registered to the sexual health class. A Reproductive Systems Questionnaire and an AR interview form were used to collect data. The participants were evaluated with a pretest, post-test and retention test. A significant improvement from pretest to post-test indicated that the AR application enhanced participants’ knowledge of reproductive organs and their positions. Participants learned more about female reproductive systems than male reproductive systems. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Attitudes of the Turkish University Students and Staff Toward Sexual Harassment and Assault: Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation(SAGE Publications Inc., 2021) Siyez D.M.; Ercan G.S.; Esen E.; Soylu Y.; Baran B.; Firuzan E.; Belkis Ö.; Dündar Sezer T.; Efe Güney M.; Ergönen A.T.; Günay T.; Tezcan S.; Öztürk B.The aim of this study was to develop a scale to measure the attitudes of the university academic and administrative staff and students toward sexual harassment and assault, and examine its psychometric properties. After the development of the item pool and examination of the content validity of the intended items, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and parallel analysis was conducted and Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was calculated collecting data from 150 participants (54.7% of female and 45.3% of male) for the initial version (comprised of 12 items) of the Attitudes Toward Sexual Harassment and Assault Scale (ATSHAS). In the second phase, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted with 354 participants (54% of female and 46% of male) for the revised version (10 items) of the ATSHAS. Additionally, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was calculated with second sample. After developing the item pool, the completion of the first phase of the study took 5 months, and the second phase took 4 months. The final version of the ATSHAS consisting of nine items demonstrated sufficient psychometric properties for measuring attitudes toward sexual harassment and assault in the university environment. © The Author(s) 2021.Item Predictors of self-reported sexually transmitted infections among Turkish university students(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Gülsoy S.S.; Siyez E.; Esen E.; Baran B.; Siyez D.M.Background and aim: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are among the most crucial health problems that sexually active university students may encounter. This study aims to identify the predictors of self-reported STIs among university students. Methods: Study participants were 2,241 individuals who reported having had sexual intercourse among a cohort of 9,693 students surveyed from 21 Turkish universities. The age of participants ranged from 17 years to 28 years. Results: The Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) analysis indicated that gender was the main predictor of self-reported STI. Also, number of partners and substance use were found as predictor variables for males. Finally, the classification accuracy of the CHAID model was found to be 95.3% within the sample. Conclusions: The present findings shed light on risk factors for STI acquisition, suggesting possible directions for tailoring future preventive interventions. © 2023 Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft (DDG).Item Prädiktoren für selbstberichtete sexuell übertragbare Infektionen bei türkischen Universitätsstudenten(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Gülsoy S.S.; Siyez E.; Esen E.; Baran B.; Siyez D.M.[No abstract available]
