Publication Metadata only The Impact of Sun Protection Program on the Sun Protection Behavior of Adolescents(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2018) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Aygun, Ozcan; Ergun, AyseBackground: The incidence of skin cancers is steadily increasing. In particular, because children and adolescents tend to be outdoors during the hours of most intensive sunlight, schools play an important role in establishing sun protection behavior among students. Purpose: The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of a Sun Protection Program (SPP) on the sun protection behavior of Turkish adolescents. Methods: This study was designed as pre-/posttest control group semi-experimental research. The research was carried out with 147 adolescents from years 12-15 in two schools. One of the schools was randomly designated as the intervention group of students and the other represented the control group. The study samples included 76 students in the intervention group and 71 students in the control group. Covariants were calculated in the pre-test scores and covariance analysis performed to evaluate the impact of the intervention on both groups. The SPP formed the basis for the program and consisted of 6 posters, a 12-page student handbook, 4 puzzles, educational videos, and a UV-sensitive Frisbee game. Results: The intervention group's sunscreen use and sun avoidance stages, and self-efficacy mean scores was significantly higher than those of the control group after the implementation of the SPP (p<.001). In addition, the increase in the scores on the posttest as compared to the baseline in the sunscreen stage as well as in the pros scores was found to be significant in the intervention group but not in the control group (p<.05). Conclusion: The study showed that a school-based SPP was effective in the short term in achieving progress in the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) sunscreen use stages, perceiving pros and in sun avoidance, sunscreen and hat use self-efficacy, meaning that the program may be used in schools to increase sun protection behavior. School-based, nurse-led, short-term studies encompassing group interventions are successful in developing sun protection attitudes and will be useful in the future in the context of school nursing activities.Publication Metadata only Investigation of 6-8. Grades secondary school students of the sun protection behaviors in Sakarya Province [Sakarya ilinde bulunan 6-8. Sınıf ortaokul öğrencilerinin güneşten korunma davranışları](Gulhane Military Medical Academy, 2016) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Aygün Ö., Ergün A.Background and objective: Transtheoretical Model (TTM), which encompasses sensitive instruments that measure an individual’s cognitive and behavioral processes, that individual’s self-confidence with respect to making a change, the perception of the decision to change, and the factors that make change difficult. The aim of the present study was investigated in an adolescent population, the relationship of sun protection behavior and gender, age, economic level and skin type. Materials and methods: The study sample comprised students enrolled in two private and a public school in the province of Sakarya, a total of 1,060 elementary school 6th-8th grade students of 2011. The instruments were administered to a total of 900 adolescents. The data were collected with sun protection scales based on the TTM. The Chi-square, Independent samples t test, ANOVA and descriptive statistics were used the data analysis. Results: There was more significant progress in 12 ages, girls and sensitive skin type of the sun protection stages of change according to others (p < 0.05). The sunscreen use stage was associated with female gender than boys and best economic levels than of the low-middle income groups were statistically significant (p <0.05). (p < 0.05). Mean scores of the girls and 12 age were found to be significantly higher in self-efficacy and perception of pros according to boys and 14 years old (p < 0.05). The economic levels higher than the medium-low income group and was statistically significant protection self-efficacy and perception of pros scores of (p <0.05). It was determined that the average perception of cons score was statistically significantly lower the girls and sensitive skin types according to the others groups (p <0.05). Conclusion: Gender, age, economic level and skin type appear to be important factors affecting sun exposure habits and sun protection behaviors among Turkish adolescent. Especially, it need to be improved in sun protection behaviors of the male, higher age 13, low economic level and dark-skinned adolescents. © GATA.Publication Metadata only The Effect of a School-Based Nutritional Program on the Anthropometric Measurements, Blood Test Results and Eating Habits of Adolescents(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2018) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Albayrak, Sevil; Ergun, AyseObjectives: To determine the effects of a school-based nutritional program (SBNP) designed for adolescents in high school, who are for various reasons unable to eat a midday meal, on their anthropometric measurements, blood test results and eating habits. Patients and Methods: The research used one group and was of a pretest-posttest design. 148 adolescent high school students who had difficulty accessing a midday meal and expressed willingness to participate in the study. As part of the SBNP, four sessions of nutrition education, each for one hour once a week, were held and the students were regularly provided with lunch at school for 3 months. A sociodemographic form, an Eating Habits Inventory, anthropometric measurements and blood tests. Results: Mean waist measurements were significantly lower at the last evaluation compared to the preliminary assessment. The increases in Rbc, Hb and Htc after the SBNP compared to pretest results were found to be statistically significant. Mouth sores, gingival bleeding and hair loss rates showed a significant decrease. Conclusion: The SBNP had a positive impact on increasing erythrocyte, hemoglobin and hematocrit counts and reducing waist circumference measurements. In addition, the SBNP also contributed to reducing certain skin and mucosal conditions (sores on the edges of the mouth, canker sores, gingival bleeding) and the hair loss rates that may be associated with vitamin deficiency. It is recommended that the impact of an SBNP be tested for a longer duration with a larger sample that includes a control group.
