Item FACTORS AFFECTING SMOKING CESSATION SUCCESS IN INDIVIDUALS WHO APPLIED TO A SMOKING CESSATION CENTREGünay, T; Acar, N; Lüleci, D; Seven, F; Durukan, NS; Baydur, H; Kilinç, O; Taner, SObjectives: This study aims to assess the frequency of smoking cessation and to identify the factors affecting smoking cessation success among individuals seeking assistance at a smoking cessation centre. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1,570 individuals who applied to the smoking cessation centre in Izmir, Turkey, between 2009 and 2018, and completed three follow-ups. Data were obtained from the centre's records. Factors affecting smoking cessation success were analysed using logistic regression in multivariate analysis. Results: The median age to start smoking was 19 (17-22), and the median number of cigarettes consumed per day was 20 (20-30). Among the participants, 59.9% exhibited a high/very high level of nicotine dependence, and 79.6% had attempted to quit smoking previously. The median number of patient follow-ups was 7 (5-10). Of the patients, 34.0% successfully quit smoking for one year. According to the multivariate analysis results, smoking cessation success increased with being married by 2.26 times (95% CI: 1.51-3.38, p < 0.001), the absence of other smokers in the household by 1.38 times (95% CI: 1.01-1.88, p = 0.04), having a low level of nicotine dependence by 1.75 times (95% CI: 1.23-2.48, p = 0.002), and more patient follow-ups by 1.61 times (95% CI: 1.52-1.72, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Smoking cessation success is increased by the support and follow-up provided by healthcare professionals, the absence of other smokers in the household, and a low level of nicotine dependency.Item Stigma of tuberculosis scale: validity and reliabilityOzpinar, S; Taner, S; Yildirim, G; Anar, CM; Altiparmak, O; Baydur, HIntroduction: In many health conditions, stigma is receiving increasing attention. Public stigmatization toward social illness can affect particularly the patients and family memberships to help seeking behavior and treatment. This study, the aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Stigma of Tuberculosis Scale which was developed to evaluate of perception of stigma with tuberkulosis patient. Patients and Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 150 with tuberculosis disease people who above 18 age and without known psychological and mental disability. In the study, Stigma of Tuberculosis Scale was used as data collection tool. During the study, language equivalence, content validity, reliability and construct validity of the scale was performed. The data was assessed by using mean, median, standard deviation, Spearman Correlation, Cronbach Alpha coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The mean age of study participants was 45.6 +/- 16.1 ( 20 - 85). years. Spearman correlation coefficient of the scale for test-retest reliability was 0.853 and the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was 0.95. According to fit indexes of confirmatory factor analysis [x2/SD= 481.38/230= 2.09; RMSEA= 0.087; GFI= 0.776; CFI= 0.776; NNFI= 0.875] it was found that one factors were appropriate for the scale. Conclusion: The adoption of the translated Stigma of Tuberculosis Scale in Turkey is found reliable and valid to evaluate of perception of stigma with tuberkulosis patient.Item The Relationship between quality of life and social support in homosexuals living in Izmir, TurkeyAltiparmak, S; Temel, AB; Taner, S; Altiparmak, O; Yildirim, GItem Pediatric kidney care experience after the 2023 Türkiye earthquakeBakkaloglu, SA; Delibas, A; Döven, SS; Taner, S; Yavuz, S; Erfidan, G; Vatansever, ED; Aynaci, F; Yílmaz, K; Tasdemir, M; Akaci, O; Akinci, N; Güven, S; Çiçek, N; Dursun, I; Kelesoglu, E; Sancaktar, M; Alaygut, D; Saygili, S; Yavascan, Ö; Yilmaz, A; Gülleroglu, K; Ertan, P; Demir, BK; Poyrazoglu, H; Pinarbasi, S; Gençler, A; Bastug, F; Günay, N; Çelegen, K; Noyan, A; Parmaksiz, G; Avci, B; Çayci, FS; Bayrakçi, U; Özlü, SG; Aksoy, ÖY; Yel, S; Inal, GA; Köse, S; Bayazit, AK; Atmis, B; Saribas, E; Çagli, Ç; Tabel, Y; Elmas, AT; Selçuk, SZ; Kiliç, BD; Kara, MA; Büyükçelik, M; Balat, A; Tiryaki, BD; Erdogdu, B; Aksu, B; Mahmudova, G; Dursun, H; Candan, C; Göknar, N; Mutlubas, F; Çamlar, SA; Basaran, C; Akbulut, BB; Düzova, A; Gülhan, B; Oruç, Ç; Peru, H; Alpay, H; Türkkan, ÖN; Gülmez, R; Çelakil, M; Dogan, K; Bilge, I; Pehlivanoglu, C; Büyükkaragöz, B; Leventoglu, E; Alpman, N; Zeybek, C; Tülpar, S; Gülsan, RYÇ; Kara, A; Gürgöze, MK; Önder, ENA; Atikel, YÖ; Pul, S; Sönmez, F; Yildiz, G; Akman, S; Elmaci, M; Küçük, N; Yüksel, S; Kavaz, A; Nalçacioglu, H; Alparslan, C; Dinçel, N; Elhan, AH; Sever, LBackground. Two earthquakes on 6 February 2023 destroyed 10 cities in Turkiye. We report our experience with pediatric victims during these catastrophes, with a focus on crush syndrome related-acute kidney injury (Crush-AKI) and death. Method. Web-based software was prepared. Patient demographics, time under rubble (TUR), admission laboratory data, dialysis, and kidney and overall outcomes were recorded. Results. A total of 903 injured children (median age 11.62 years) were evaluated. Mean TUR was 13 h (interquartile range 32.5, max 240 h). Thirty-one of 32 patients with a TUR of >120 h survived. The patient who was rescued after 10 days survived. Two-thirds of the patients were given 50 mEq/L sodium bicarbonate in 0.45% sodium chloride solution on admission day. Fifty-eight percent of patients were given intravenous fluid (IVF) at a volume of 2000-3000 mL/m(2) body surface area (BSA), 40% at 3000-4000 mL/m(2) BSA and only 2% at >4000 mL/m(2) BSA. A total of 425 patients had surgeries, and 48 suffered from major bleeding. Amputations were recorded in 96 patients. Eighty-two and 66 patients required ventilator and inotropic support, respectively. Crush-AKI developed in 314 patients (36% of all patients). In all, 189 patients were dialyzed. Age >15 years, creatine phosphokinase (CK) >= 20 950 U/L, TUR >= 10 h and the first-day IVF volume <3000-4000 mL/m2 BSA were associated with Crush-AKI development. Twenty-two deaths were recorded, 20 of 22 occurring in patients with Crush-AKI and within the first 4 days of admission. All patients admitted after 7 days survived. Conclusions. These are the most extensive pediatric kidney disaster data obtained after an earthquake. Serum CK level was significantly associated with Crush-AKI at the levels of >20 950 U/L, but not with death. Adolescent age and initial IVF of less than 3000-4000 mL/m(2) BSA were also associated with Crush-AKI. Given that mildly injured victims can survive longer periods in the disaster field, we suggest uninterrupted rescue activity for at least 10 days.Item COVID-19 IN PEDIATRIC NEPHROLOGY CENTERS IN TURKEYBakkaloglu, SA; Atikel, YÖ; LeventoGlu, E; Nalçacioglu, H; Dursun, I; PoyrazoGlu, H; Dursun, H; Yildirim, ZY; Yildiz, N; Aksoy, GK; Akman, S; Tasdemir, M; Bilge, I; Çelakil, M; Kiliç, BD; Selçuk, SZ; Canpolat, N; Çakici, EK; Özlü, SG; Tülpar, S; Yüksel, S; Atmis, B; Döven, SS; Taner, S; Ertan, P; Kavaz, A; Bayram, MT; Kalyoncu, M; GÜlleroGlu, K; Kabasakal, C; Demir, BK; Çiçek, RY; Dönmez, O; Kara, A; Yavascan, Ö; Özçelik, G; Yildirim, DG; Güler, MA; Sönmez, F; Topaloglu, R; Alpay, HItem COVID-19 in pediatric nephrology centers in TurkeyLeventoglu, E; Özdemir Atikel, Y; Nalçacioglu, H; Dursun, I; Dursun, H; Yürük Yildirim, Z; Yildiz, N; Kaya Aksoy, G; Tasdemir, M; Çelakil, M; Demircioglu Kiliç, B; Zirhli Selçuk, S; Canpolat, N; Kargin Cakici, E; Özlü, SG; Tülpar, S; Yüksel, S; Atmis, B; Sürmeli Döven, S; Taner, S; Ertan, P; Kavaz, A; Torun Bayram, M; Kalyoncu, M; Gülleroglu, K; Kabasakal, C; Kasap Demir, B; Çiçek, RY; Bilge, I; Dönmez, O; Kara, A; Yavascan, Ö; Özçelik, G; Gezgin Yildirim, D; Güler, MA; Sönmez, F; Poyrazoglu, H; Akman, S; Topaloglu, R; Alpay, H; Bakkaloglu, SABackground/aim: There is limited data on COVID-19 disease in children with kidney disease. We aimed to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of COVID-19 in pediatric nephrology patients in Turkey. Materials and methods: This was a national, multicenter, retrospective cohort study based on an online survey evaluating the data between 11th March 2020 and 11th March 2021 as an initial step of a detailed pediatric nephrology COVID-19 registry. Results: Two hundred and three patients (89 girls and 114 boys) were diagnosed with COVID-19. One-third of these patients (36.9%) were between 10-15 years old. Half of the patients were on kidney replacement therapy: kidney transplant (KTx) recipients (n = 56, 27.5%), patients receiving chronic hemodialysis (n = 33, 16.3%) and those on peritoneal dialysis (PD) (n = 18, 8.9%). Fifty-four (26.6%) children were asymptomatic. Eighty-two (40.3%) patients were hospitalized and 23 (28%) needed intensive care unit admission. Fifty-five percent of the patients were not treated, while the remaining was given favipiravir (20.7%), steroid (16.3%), and hydroxychloroquine (11.3%). Acute kidney injury developed in 19.5% of hospitalized patients. Five (2.4%) had MIS-C. Eighty-three percent of the patients were discharged without any apparent sequelae, while 7 (3.4%) died. One hundred and eight health care staff were infected during the study period. Conclusion: COVID-19 was most commonly seen in patients who underwent KTx and received HD. The combined immunosuppressive therapy and frequent exposure to the hospital setting may increase these patients' susceptibility. Staff infections before vaccination era were alarming, various precautions should be taken for infection control, particularly optimal vaccination coverage.Item The quality of life in adolescent in secondary public schools in Bornova/IzmirAltiparmak, S; Taner, S; Türk Soyer, M; Eser, EObjective: To measure the quality of life in adolescents and to indicate determinates of quality of life in Bornova/Turkey.
