    (SPRINGER INDIA, 2016) Goktas, Sonay Baltaci; Manukyan, Manuk Norayık; Selimen, Deniz
    The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting the formation of the gallstone types of cholesterol and pigment stones. This descriptive and retrospective study comprised 164 patients who underwent cholecystectomy. Research data were obtained using a data collection form with 34 questions developed by the researchers based on the relevant literature. Statistical analysis of the data was made on SPSS 15.0 software using the percentage assessment method and chi-square test. Advanced statistical analysis of the data was performed using multivariate logistic regression. Cholesterol stone was found to form in individuals with anemia, those going through the menopause, and those consuming liquid oil and not undertaking exercise. The risk of pigment stone formation was found to be higher in the obese and those with liver disease and who do not consume milk. From the results of the study, it was determined that the dietary habits, chronic diseases, and lifestyle behaviors of individuals could be effective factors in the formation of cholesterol and/or pigment stone.

    The Impact of Facial Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeries on Patients' Quality of Life
    (SPRINGER INDIA, 2015) Yildiz, Tulin; Selimen, Deniz
    The aim of the present prospective and descriptive study was to assess the impact of facial aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries on quality of life. Ninety-one patients, of whom 43 had aesthetic surgery and 48 had reconstructive surgery, were analysed. The data were collected using the patient information form, body cathexis scale, and short form (SF)-36 quality of life scale. There were significant differences between before and after the surgery in both groups in terms of body cathexis scale and quality of life (p< 0.05 for both). It was observed that problems regarding the body image perception were encountered more, and the quality of life was poorer in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery patients before the surgery. However, the problems were decreased, and the quality of life was enhanced after the surgery. Among the parameters of SF-36 quality of life scale, particularly the mean scores of social functioning, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, mental health, and vitality/fatigue were found low before the surgery, whereas the mean scores were significantly improved after the surgery. The results revealed that facial aesthetic and reconstructive surgical interventions favourably affected the body image perception and self-esteem and that positive reflections in emotional, social, and mental aspects were effective in enhancing self-confidence and quality of life of the individual.

    A Study Comparing the Pre- and Post-Training Knowledge of Emergency Department Nurses in Turkey for the Diagnosis of Physically Abused Women
    (SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2014) Yildiz, Tulin; Selimen, Deniz; Dogan, Duygu
    This study assesses the knowledge levels of emergency service nurses regarding their ability to recognize the signs of physical abuse in women, before and after an educational program. The research was conducted in Istanbul city center, using a comparative definitive method. The universe of the research consisted of emergency service nurses of three different publics. Data were collected via face to face interviews based on a questionnaire comprised of 21 questions with forty nine nurses. The results of the research revealed that 58.6 % (n = 27) of ER nurses were between 18-25 years of age and 100 % (n = 46) of them didn't have any previous education on recognizing violence, and the scores before, just after and 3 months after the education program were statistically meaningful (x = 30, p < 0.0001). This study indicates that forensic medicine should be built up in nursing schools and via in-service training, the workers should be supported to improve themselves.
