Publication Open Access Examination of predictive factors healthy lifestyle behaviours and compare coping styles with stress of adolescents with and without hearing loss: a comparative study(2022-12-01) GÜR, KAMER; GÜR K., KILINÇ İŞLEYEN E., Yayıkçı E., Değer K., Tekin E.Objective: Examination of predictive factors healthy lifestyle behaviours and compare coping styles with stress of adolescents with and without Hearing Loss (HL). Methods: A comparative cross‐sectional design was employed. The participants comprise high school students with (n= 272) and without (n= 272) HL. Participants completed questionnaires on coping styles with stress and Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale 2 (ALP-R2). Descriptive statistics, chi-square, t-test, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the responses given to the above instruments. Results: Adolescents without HL (116.46±16.89) had significantly higher scores on the lifestyle profile scale than another group (113.68±16.12) (p<.000). The difference in coping styles (pray, hobbies and exercise etc.) with stress of two group was determined (p<.000). According to multiple linear regression analysis, independent variables explained 27% of the change in adolescent lifestyle profile in adolescents with HL (R2=.273). BMI (β=-.258), economic status (β=-.439), and mother education level (β=.146) were significant predictors affecting lifestyle profile in adolescents with HL. Also, independent variables explained 17% of the change in adolescent lifestyle profile in adolescents without HL (R2=.170). BMI (β=-.327) and economic status (β=-.233) were significant predictors in adolescents without HL. Conclusion: Lifestyle profiles of adolescents with HL are lower than those without HL. Adolescents with HL are more vulnerable in terms of a lifestyle behaviours and coping style with stress. By using these findings, nurses can make school-based interventions on positive life perspective, stress management to increase lifestyle profiles.Publication Open Access Effects of the Social Responsibility for Health program on adolescents' empathic skills, altruistic and health perception(MARMARA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2018-01-21) GÜR, KAMER; Sengel, Ayse; Gur, KamerObjectives: This study aims to determine the effect of the Social Responsibility for Health (SRFH) program implemented under the leadership of a school nurse on adolescents' empathic skills, altruism and health perception. Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study used the pre test-post test control group design. It was conducted among 116 adolescents attending a private high school in Istanbul. Fifty-six and 60 of the participants were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups, respectively. The SRFH program was completed in 14 weeks. The data were collected with the Empathic Tendency Scale, the Scale of Altruism, and the Health Perception. Parametric tests (unpaired t-test and paired t-test) were utilized in the data analysis. Results: While there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups' total pretest scores of empathic skills and health perception (P>0.05), a significant difference was found between both groups' total posttest scores (P=0.00; P=0.05). Furthermore, the experimental group's total posttest score of altruism and their score averages of social and helpfulness subdimensions increased (P=0.03; P=0.01; P=0.02). Conclusion: The SRFH program implemented under the leadership of a school nurse increased adolescents' empathic skills and health perception and created a difference between the experimental and control groups.Publication Metadata only The epidemiology of injury among adolescents with hearing loss, health beliefs regarding injury and associated factors(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021) GÜR, KAMER; Gur, Kamer; Kilinc, Eda; Gunaydin, Enes; Gulsun, HilalBackground: Adolescents with hearing loss are more at risk of injury. Their injuries commonly occur at school, in traffic, and other sporting areas and can adversely affect their health. Objective: The study aims were to understand the epidemiology of the injuries that occurred among adolescents with hearing loss and to explore their health beliefs regarding injury and their associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over the period 2018-2019 with 218 adolescents with hearing loss. A sociodemographic questionnaire, an accident and knowledge questionnaire, the Health Belief Model (HBM)-based Injury Scale and a school accident form were provided by interviewers who were fluent in sign language. Descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis tests and regression analysis were used to analyze the responses given to the above instruments. Results: Forty-six percent of the adolescents with hearing loss experienced accidents, with pedestrian (42.9%) and passenger (42.9%) types being the most common traffic-related injuries and bleeding (29.4%) and fracture (23.5%) for school related injuries. Factors that are protective against injuries are higher parental education level (father education: OR 1.08, 95% CI = 0.81-1.44; mother education: OR 0.77, 95% CI = 0.59-1.01), and higher knowledge of traffic signs (right: OR 1.23, 95% CI = 0.62-2.42; green: OR 0.59, 95% CI = 0.28-1.23). Factors that were associated with elevated risk of injuries included worse hearing loss categories (OR 3.39, 95% CI = 1.07-8.99). Conclusions: Adolescents with hearing loss are commonly injured. Schools should consider education on how adolescents with hearing loss can protect themselves through potential tailored HBM-based injury prevention interventions. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
