Publication Metadata only Excess mortailty during Covid-19 pandemic in Istanbul(2021-09-01) AY, NADİYE PINAR; Musellim B., Kul S., Ay P., Uyanusta C., Dagli E., Itil O., Bayram H.Publication Open Access Research publications from the ATS MECOR program in Turkiye(2023-01-01) ARIKAN, HÜSEYİN; AY, NADİYE PINAR; Karakurt Z., Yilmaz O., ARIKAN H., AY N. P., Demir C., Gurkan C. G., Akgun M., Buist S.Background: The American Thoracic Society (ATS) Methods in Epidemiologic, Clinical, and Operations Research (MECOR) Program aims to build research capacit in low and middle-income countries. MECOR has three levels, during which students learn to develop a research protocol and write a manuscript. MECOR Turkiye has been offered every year since 2008. Objective: The aim of this paper is to report the number and impact of published articles generated from research questions developed by students in levels 1, 2, and 3 of the ATS MECOR Program in Turkiye between 2008 and 2018. Methods: We collected the research questions developed in all levels of the ATS MECOR Program in Turkiye between 2008 and 2018. We searched Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and ResearchGate in April 2022 to see how many of these research questions were published as articles and, if published, in which journals. Results: Of the 176 research questions collected, 49 had been developed in level 1, 82 had been developed in level 2, and 45 had been developed in level 3. Of those 176 research questions, 55 (31.3%) generated articles that were accepted for publication. The frequency of published articles based on MECOR-developed research questions increased linearly as the course level in which they were developed increased (18.4% in level 1, 30% in level 2, 46.7% in level 3; P = 0.012; linear-by-linear association, P = 0.003). The median time from the development of the research question to publication was three years overall and did not differ significantly among the course levels (P = 0.36). Of the research questions developed, 43 were published in Science Citation Index or Science Citation Index Expanded–indexed journals. Conclusion: Acceptance of an article for publication is one way to measure the impact of the ATS MECOR Program. Our data describe significant research output among our participants, which increases with their length of participation in the program.Publication Open Access The Turkish Language and Psychometric Validation of the Bladder Control Self-assessment Questionnaire Evaluating the Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction(GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2020-12-01) AY, NADİYE PINAR; Hamarat, Mustafa Bilal; Tarhan, Fatih; Can, Utku; Sahlam, Erkin; Ay, PinarObjective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Turkish version of the Bladder Control Self-assessment Questionnaire (B-SAQ). Materials and Methods: B-SAQ that comprises two parts and four questions in each section was translated into Turkish, followed by a back-translation into English. The study included 79 and 49 women who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic with and without complaints of lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS), respectively. Turkish B-SAQ questionnaire was filled for the second time by 67 patients after a two week interval for test-retest correlation. All patients filled the Turkish B-SAQ form, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and Overactive Bladder Screener (OAB-V8) questionnaire. Results: The Cronbach alpha value for B-SAQ was 0.868. Reliability of the test/retest was found to be 0.860 (p<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in B-SAQ scores between the controls and patients (p<0.001). Convergent validity analyzes with ICIQ-SF and OAB-V8 (respectively r=0.61 and r=0.44, p<0.001). The total B-SAQ cut-off score was determined as 7. The sensitivity and specificity of B-SAQ were 96% in women with LUTS. Conclusion: Turkish version of B-SAQ is a valid and reliable questionnaire to evaluate the symptoms and disorders of patients with LUTS.Publication Open Access Validation of the Turkish version of the DOSE-Nonadherence measure among patients with cardiometabolic conditions(2022-10-01) AY, NADİYE PINAR; OKUYAN, BETÜL; Yagmur M., Ay P., Sancar M., Voils C. I., Okuyan B.What is known and objective There are no validated self-report measures to assess extent of and reasons for medication nonadherence in the Turkish language. The aim of this study is to evaluate validity and reliability of the Domains of Subjective Extent of Nonadherence Scale, which assesses extent of and reasons for nonadherence in Turkish patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and/or dyslipidaemia in community pharmacy settings. Methods The Turkish version of the DOSE-Nonadherence scale was developed through translation and cultural adaption. Psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated in a cross-sectional study among 203 patients who visited six community pharmacies located in Istanbul, Turkey between November 2020 and March 2021. For the extent of nonadherence domain, reliability was estimated through Cronbach\"s alpha, and convergent validity was evaluated with Spearman\"s rank correlation with the validated Turkish version of the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS). Reasons for nonadherence were characterized among participants reporting nonadherence to the extent of nonadherence items. The measure was administered at baseline and 2 weeks later to 30 patients to estimate stability of extent scores using the Wilcoxon test and intraclass correlation coefficient. p < 0.05 was set as the level of statistical significance. Results Among the 203 participants (65 male), the median (25th-75th percentiles) age was 59.0 years [51.0-67.0]. Cronbach\"s alpha for the extent of nonadherence scale was 0.86. A moderate negative correlation (r = -0.58; p < 0.001) was found between the extent of nonadherence scores and MARS, supporting convergent validity. The most common reasons for medication nonadherence were forgetfulness (22.5%) and mismatch between the patients\" daily routine and medication taking (17.5%). The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.97 for extent of nonadherence scores at baseline and 2 weeks (p < 0.001). What is new and conclusion The DOSE-Nonadherence Scale could be used to identify nonadherent patients and their reasons for nonadherence in Turkish patients with chronic cardiometabolic conditions. This scale can be used to evaluate clinical pharmacist-led services to reduce medication nonadherence. Nonadherence could be recorded longitudinally in electronic health records to provide a more accurate picture of medication use. Pharmacists or other providers could administer interventions tailored to patients\" reasons for nonadherence.Publication Metadata only Pharmacokinetic characterization of favipiravir in patients with COVID-19(2022) KOCAKAYA, DERYAPublication Metadata only Will plain packaging of cigarettes achieve the expected ? :Perception among Medical Students(EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY SOC JOURNALS LTD, 2020) AY, NADİYE PINAR; Ay, Pinar; Yasin, Yesim; Elbek, Osman; Guner, Murat; Gezer, Tanzer; Ceyhan, Murat; Yidiz, Fusun; Dagli, ElifPublication Metadata only Reliability and validity of the turkish version of the family caregiver medication administration hassles scale(2023-04-01) SANCAR, MESUT; AY, NADİYE PINAR; OKUYAN, BETÜL; Kingir Z. B., SANCAR M., AY N. P., Demirtunc R., Nuhoglu C., Misirli C. H., OKUYAN B.Background: The Family Caregiver Medication Administration Hassles Scale (FCMAHS) was developed to evaluate the hassles and concerns experienced by family caregivers in medication administration.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Family Caregiver Medication Administration Hassles Scale (FCMAHS-TR).Methods: The FCMAHS-TR was developed after translation, cultural adaptation, and a pilot study. The cross-sectional study was conducted among family caregivers (=18 years) in community pharmacies. Test-retest reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed. Hypothesis testing was used for the assessment of construct validity.Results: The majority (68.7%) of the family caregivers were female (n = 470). In the test-retest reliability analysis (n = 30), the ICC value was 0.917 (P < 0.001). In EFA analysis (n = 251), the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure was 0.799, 62.6% of the total variance was explained by five factors including eighteen items, and Cronbach\"s alpha was 0.836. According to CFA (n = 219), the root mean square error of approxi-mation (RMSEA) was 0.0654, and the comparative fit index (CFI) was 0.918. In construct validity, family caregivers with low reading ability of health-related materials and with high care burden had significantly higher median scores for all the factors of the FCMAHS-TR (P < 0.05 for all).Conclusions: The FCMAHS-TR can be used to evaluate the hassle and concerns experienced by family caregivers in medication administration. This scale can be used by healthcare professionals to identify family caregivers who need individualized interventions for medication adminis-tration hassles.Publication Metadata only Yenidoğan yoğun bakımdaki bebeklerin karbapenem dirençli gram(-) bakterilerle kolonizasyonundaki risklerin incelenmesi(2021-10-06) MEMİŞOĞLU, ASLI; ALTINKANAT GELMEZ, GÜLŞEN; KEPENEKLİ KADAYİFCİ, EDA; AY, NADİYE PINAR; BİLGEN, HÜLYA SELVA; HASDEMİR GÖKBOĞA, MÜNEVVER UFUK; ÖZEK, EREN; YALÇINOĞLU İ., MEMİŞOĞLU A., ALTINKANAT GELMEZ G., TAVİLOĞLU Z.

P., Guner M., Elbek O., Ay P., Yildiz F., Gezer T., Ceyhan M.Aim: Menthol makes smokers inhale more deeply and increase exposure time with its cooling effect on the airways. Use of menthol in tobacco products was banned in Turkey since 5th January 2022. This study aims to investigate the internet sales of a new product called "menthol ball" which is made to inject menthol into regular cigarettes. Method: “Menthol Ball" key word was Google searched. Out of 45,500 data retrieved 1696 relevant ones were further investigated. Web sites of the products, e-commerce websites,social media accounts were detected. Their promotional activities, methods of trading were noted. Results: 37 brands of menthol balls were detected. All brands promote their products through videos describing the injection of the tiny menthol balls into the classical cigarettes. Only 12 have their individual website, the other 25 use main e-commerce outlets to reach to the customers. Two menthol ball brands market their products in one-kilogram bags at e-commerce sites. One brand market a "menthol ball liquid" for roll-your-own tobacco. Three major e-commerce sites sell 1485 different flavored menthol balls under the category of air refresher. One other e-commerce site sold 88 various menthol balls under the category of tobacco bags. Conclusion: Banning menthol in tobacco products help prevent youth starting to smoke or lower smoking rates among vulnerable communities . However freely sold menthol that can be injected into the cigarettes may reincarnate menthol cigarettes. Any product that will circumvent menthol ban must be restricted.Publication Metadata only Three years' follow up: relationship of maternal depression and anxiety with ever-wheezing(2021-09-01) AY, NADİYE PINAR; Yilmaz O., Yasar A., Ocalan M., AY N. P., ALKIN T., Hasdemir S., Yuksel H.Our previous data had not shown an association between wheezing during the first year life and maternal depression and anxiety. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of prenatal maternal depression and anxiety as risk factors for ever-wheezing in the first three years of life. Mother-infant pairs enrolled between 2016-2018 formed the population of this study (n=697). All subjects were phoned and questioned about wheezing and physician diagnosis of asthma. Age and maternal education, smoking habits, Edinburgh postnatal depression scale(EPDS) and State Trait Anxiety Inventory 1,2(STAI) scores during the last trimester were recorded from previous cohort data. Among 285 children enrolled, 84(%29.5) had ever-wheezing in the first 3 years of life. Mean age of wheezers and non-wheezers were 39.6±8.2 and 39.1±7.3 months respectively (p=0.13). Mean maternal age was not significantly different between the groups (p=0.16). 47,6% of ever-wheezers and %54.7 of non-wheezers were females (p=0.29). Family history of asthma was not signficantly different between the two groups (p=0.84). Current maternal smoking was reported by 40.5% of ever-wheezers and 41.3% of non-wheezers (p=1.0). Maternal smoking before and during pregnancy were 16.7% and 4.8% in ever-wheezers while 10.9% and 7.5% in never-wheezers respectively (p=0.33). Prenatal maternal depression was present in 17(20.2%) of ever-wheezers compared to 45(22.4%) of non-wheezers (p=0.75). Maternal depression and anxiety at three months postpartum were not significantly different (10.7 in wheezers,15.4% in non-wheezers, p=0.35). In conclusion, prenatal depression and anxiety was not related to ever-wheezing during the first three years of life.
