    Adaptation, validity and reliability of geriatric self-efficacy index for urinary incontinence (GSE-UI) in geriatric incontinents
    (Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2021) Başer Seçer M.; Seçer E.; Kaya Mutlu E.; Çeliker Tosun Ö.; Tosun G.
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the GSE-UI for use with a Turkish population and to determine its validity and reliability. Methods: 120 elderly with UI aged 60 and over years (mean 72.89 ± 9.59 years) participated in this study. An interview was held to determine the type, severity and frequency if any, incontinence. Then, the Mini-Mental State Examination, IIQ-7, UDI-6 and I-QOL questionnaires were administered to the participants. After translating the tool to Turkish, test and retest was performed with an interval of 7–14 days. Results: The internal consistency of the first test of the GSE-UI-Turkish was excellent, with a Cronbach α of 0.95. The test–retest reliability of the GSE-UI-Turkish was found to be excellent (ICC = 0.94, 95% CI 0.92–0.96). The correlation coefficient between the GSE-UI-Turkish and the UDI-6, IIQ-7, I-QOL were found to be good to excellent (r = 0.68, r = 0.67, r = 0.81, r = 0.45, respectively; p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Results of our study GSE-UI of Turkish version, self-efficacy evaluation in geriatric incontinence was a valid and reliable survey that can be used in clinical practice. © 2021, Springer Nature B.V.

    Investigation of the Effect of Learning Styles on Critical Thinking Dispositions of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Students
    (AVES, 2022) Seçer E.; Özer Kaya D.
    Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of learning styles on the critical thinking dispositions of physiotherapy and rehabilitation students. Methods: In this study, 344 physiotherapy and rehabilitation students were included, which was planned as a cross-sectional design. The learning styles of students were assessed by the BIG16 Learning Styles Inventory and the critical thinking dispositions were assessed by the Marmara Critical Thinking Dispositions Scale. Results: The dominant learning style of the students was observed to be visual (14.84 ± 5.93) and there was no significant difference between the auditory learning style scores of the students who did and did not do practical internships (P= .039). Also, the students’ critical thinking dispositions were observed to be high (115.33 ± 11.59), and the level of the open-mindedness of senior students during critical thinking was higher than those of other grades (P = .013). However, no significant difference was found between the critical thinking dispositions of students with different learning styles (P= .693). Conclusion: It is thought that the critical thinking dispositions of the students of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation department should be raised to a higher level in terms of all sub-dimensions in the undergraduate education process, and the course contents and practical internships of the department should be enriched visually and audibly. In addition, it is suggested that studies on physiotherapy and rehabilitation students consider students’ learning styles and critical thinking dispositions by comparing face-to-face and distance education processes. © 2022 Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz.

    Comparison of Immediate Effects of Foam Rolling and Dynamic Stretching to Only Dynamic Stretching on Flexibility, Balance, and Agility in Male Soccer Players
    (Human Kinetics Publishers Inc., 2022) Seçer E.; Kaya D.Ö.
    Context: Dynamic stretching (DS) is typically suggested during warm-up protocols. Also, foam rolling (FR), which is applied with a foam cylinder, has increased popularity in recent years. However, the combined effects of DS and FR in improving flexibility, dynamic balance, and agility performance are unclear in current literature. Therefore, this study aim to evaluate and compare the acute effects of DS as well as DS followed by FR (DS + FR) on flexibility, dynamic balance, and agility in male soccer players. Design: This study was a crossover study with a within-subject design. Methods: Thirty volunteer male soccer players (mean age 18.80 [0.66] y) were included in the study. Each participant performed the 2 sessions (DS and DS + FR) on separate occasions in a randomized order, with an interval of 72 hours. All sessions were performed in the indoor gym at the sports club. Flexibility was assessed by sit-and-reach test, dynamic balance was assessed by Y balance test, and agility was assessed by t test. Results: Compared with the pretest results, significant improvement in flexibility was observed in both groups (change = 0.55, percentage change = 2.05, effect size [ES] = 0.15, P = .041; change = 0.64, percentage change = 2.36, ES = 0.20, P = .025; respectively). Balance scores did not significantly improve in either group (change = 0.40, percentage change = 0.45, ES = 0.09, P = .342; change = 0.93, percentage change = 1.02, ES = 0.23, P = .103; respectively). Agility performance significantly improved in both groups (change = −0.12, percentage change = −1.18, ES = 0.19, P = .021; change = −0.21, percentage change = −2.18, ES = 0.38, P = .005; respectively). Conclusions: Both DS and DS + FR improved flexibility and agility and did not affect balance. DS + FR was not superior to DS at improving flexibility and agility as compared only with DS. Both methods are effective warm-up protocols to augment factors related to injury risk and performance. It seems that further studies that investigate the combined effects of FR and DS are needed. © 2022 Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.. All rights reserved.

    Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Adaptation of the Yale Physical Activity Survey
    (Human Kinetics Publishers Inc., 2023) Seçer E.; Naz I.; Uzunlar H.; Çallioglu G.; Emük Y.; Seçer M.B.; Öztin H.
    This study aimed to examine the convergent validity and test–retest reliability of the Turkish version of the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS-TR). Eighty-one volunteer older adults were included in the study. Test–retest reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Correlation coefficients between YPAS-TR and Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), Short Form-36, and Short Physical Performance Battery were examined for convergent validity. Acceptable intraclass correlation coefficient values were reached for YPAS-TR energy expenditure, total physical activity time and summary, vigorous, leisurely walking, moving, standing, and sitting indices (intraclass correlation coefficient = .96–.99). There was a moderate correlation between energy expenditure and total physical activity time with PASE (leisure time activities), PASE (household activities), and PASE (total) (r = .478, r = .468, r = .570, r = .406, r = .490, r = .550, respectively, p < .001). Also, a weak correlation was found between summary and leisurely walking index with PASE (household activities), standing index with PASE (leisure time activities), and PASE (total) (r = .285, p = .010; r = .257, p = .021; r = .238, p = .033; r = .283, p = .010; respectively). The results of the study suggest that the YPAS-TR is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to assess the physical activity patterns of Turkish older adults. © 2023 Human Kinetics, Inc.
