Publication Metadata only Validity and Reliability of the Child Feeding Questionnaire in School-Aged Children(AVES PRESS LTD, 2017) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Erdim, Leyla; Ergun, Ayse; Kuguoglu, SemaObjective: The aim of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ), which was revised by Birch et al. in 2001. Methods: The study sample included parents of 495 students who were studying in the third, fourth, and fifth grades of three public elementary schools located in Fatih district of Istanbul. Data were collected using CFQ, which was developed for measuring families' beliefs, approaches, and practice regarding child nutrition. The questionnaire includes seven sub-dimensions and 31 items. For reliability analysis, the internal consistency coefficients of the CFQ sub-dimensions, test-retest coefficient, and the item-total correlation coefficient were calculated. Content and construct validity were also tested. Results: The internal consistency of sub-dimensions was between 0.59 and 0.81, while the test-retest reliability was between 0.41 and 0.64 and item-total correlation coefficients were between 0.39 and 0.70. It was determined that expert opinions regarding the items were consistent. Construct validity of the 30-item CFQ, which included seven sub-dimensions, was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Fit indices obtained from the initial CFA were not satisfactory. After modifying the error variance between items 8-9, 21-22, and 23-24, CFA was repeated, and satisfactory fit indices were found. Factor loadings of all items were between 0.31 and 0.84. Conclusion: The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, item analysis, content validity, and DFA results indicated that CFQ is valid and reliable and can be used for measuring parents' perceptions and worries regarding their children's obesity predisposition and nutrition practices.Publication Metadata only The effect of an aggressive behavior prevention program on kindergarten students(WILEY, 2019) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Akcan, Arzu; Ergun, AyseObjectives This quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group was conducted to determine the effects of the Aggressive Behavior Prevention Program (ABPP) on kindergarten students. The program was based on Social Cognitive Theory. Design and Sample The study was carried out with 90 children (intervention group = 45, control group = 45) who were registered in the kindergarten of a primary school. The ABPP was implemented with children and their families for 12 weeks. Data were collected with a subscale of Aggressiveness of the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, the subscales of overt and relational aggression of the Preschool Social Behavior Scale-Teacher Form, and the Victimisation Scale. Results The ABPP significantly decreased levels of aggression among kindergarten students (p = 0.019). No significant difference was found between the two groups for peer victimization. Conclusions This is the first study in Turkey implemented by a nurse based in school and it is important because it offers an example for nurses' practice and research. Findings suggest that the ABPP is effective in reducing the aggression of children.Publication Metadata only The eating attitudes of the university students, self-efficacy and affecting factors(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2015) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Kadioglu, Merve; Ergun, AyseObjective: This research was performed to figure out eating attitudes of students, self-efficacy and factors that influence it. Method: This descriptive research was conducted with 525 university students. The data were collected with an identifier form, eating attitude test (EAT-40) and self-efficacy scale. In order to evaluate data, descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The mean score of the EAT-40 was 17.91 +/- 11.10. There was a statistically significant difference (z=-2.39, p=0.01) between the mean EAT-40 score of female students (18.67 +/- 11.30) and male students (16.79 +/- 10.73). The rate of students with EAT-40 score over 30 were found as 7.1% in the 18-19 age group, 10.9% in the 20-21 age group and 17.6%in the 22-24 age group (x(2) = 7.732; p<0.05). The eating disorder risk of the over weight and obese students was two times more than the students with normal weight, while the eating disorder risk of the weak students was 2.9 times lower than the students with normal weight. There was no difference between the mean self-efficacy score of the ones whose EAT40 score was over 30 and under 30. Conclusions: The students being overweight and obese, being not happy about their weights, being on a diet and stating that their nutrition would be affected in case of stress were found at risk in terms of the eating disorder.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.
