Publication Open Access Autism Awareness Scale for Security Officers Working in Hospitals: A Study of Validity and Reliability(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2020-10-26) SARISALTIK, ALİCAN; Karavus, Melda; Hidiroglu, Seyhan; Sarisaltik, Alican; Ilgin, Can; Yuksel, Gulsum Hatice; Seker, Abdullah Omer; Kumru, Pinar; Save, Dilsad; Luleci, Nimet EmelObjective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness toward autism among security officers working in hospitals and to explore the validity and reliability of the Autism Awareness Scale for Security Officers (AASSO) developed by the researchers. Methods: This methodological study was conducted at two Government Training and Research Hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. A total of 135 security officers were included in the study and the data were obtained between February and April 2019. The AASSO is a 4-point Likert type scale and consists of 20 items. The factor structure of the scale was extracted by performing exploratory factor analysis. Results: Most of the participants were male (n=79; 58.5%) and high school graduates (n=86; 67.7%). Participants considered autism mostly as a kind of mental retardation (n=69; 51.9%), followed by social interaction problem (n=24; 18.0%). The AASSO reduces autism awareness into 3 factors ('Coming across', 'Communication' and `Interaction with the environment'), with eigenvalues ranging from 9.417 to 1.201 and explained 65.45% of all variance. Cronbach's alpha values for the AASSO was 0.936 and ranged from 0.921 to 0.809 for the subscales. Conclusion: According to these results AASSO is a valid and reliable scale. The consequence of further studies especially conducted on non-healthcare professionals of hospitals should be establishing autism-friendly hospitals.Publication Open Access The Factors Associated with Mothers' Preventive Measures Against Home Accidents: A Descriptive Study from Istanbul, Turkey(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2019-06-30) ILGIN, CAN; Bayram, Tevfik; Ilgin, Can; Kulbay, Hayriye; Tozakoglu, Batuhan; Karaduman, Ilker; Colak, Burkay Cagan; Save, DilsadObjective: One of the most common causes of death among children in Turkey is accidents, and of this, 18-25% caused by home accidents. This study aims to identify the factors associated with safety measures against home accidents, that are taken by mothers who have children between 0-6 years of age. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among the mothers who admitted to three Family Health Centers in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2017. The data was collected with a questionnaire including The Scale for Mother's identification of Safety Measures Against Home Accidents for Children of 0-6 Years Age Group. The data was analyzed with SPSS program using Chi square, Mann Whitney-U and Spearman correlation tests (p<0,05 considered significant). 224 mothers participated in this study. Results: The most frequent home accidents were falling (48.9%), finger jam (36.6%) and crashing (30.6%). There was a weak positive correlation between the scale score and family's income (p=0.039; r=0.157); and a weak negative correlation between the scale score and child's age (p=0.001; r=-0.331). There was no association between education level of parents and safety measures. However, the scale scores were significantly higher among those who have specifically been educated about home accidents compared to those who haven't (p=0.013). Conclusion: The current education program may not be sufficient to prevent home accidents. We believe that specific courses about home accidents and safety measures are needed; even if these courses can be integrated to secondary school or university curricula it can be more beneficial.Publication Open Access Untitled Reply(2022-01-01) KARAVUŞ, MELDA; ILGIN, CAN; AY, NADİYE PINAR; LÜLECİ, NİMET EMEL; SAVE, DİLŞAD; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; Ozdemir M., Ilgin C., KARAVUŞ M., HIDIROĞLU S., LÜLECİ N.
