    Fatigue and Physical Activity Levels of Smoking and Non-smoking Healthy Sedentary Individuals
    (AVES PRESS LTD, 2016) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Ergin, Cagla; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Zengin, Orhan
    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the fatigue and physical activity levels of smoking and non-smoking healthy sedentary individuals. Methods: The study was conducted with 191 sedentary university students who were informed regarding the study (age of smoking individuals, 21.01 +/- 1.34 years and age of non-smoking individuals, 20.76 +/- 1.65 years). The short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess the physical activity levels, and the Piper Fatigue Scale was used to assess the fatigue levels. Results: There were no significant differences between the high, moderate, low intensity, and total physical activity levels of smoking and non-smoking healthy sedentary individuals (p>0.05). There was no statistical difference between the emotional fatigue levels of smoking and non-smoking healthy sedentary individuals (p>0.05), while statistically higher cognitive, sensory, behavioral, and total fatigue scores were observed in smoking healthy sedentary individuals than in non-smoking healthy sedentary individuals (p<0.05). Conclusion: Smoking affects cognitive, sensory, behavioral, and total fatigue levels in young sedentary individuals. It may be useful to inform university students regarding the effects of smoking on fatigue levels with respect to public health.

    The relationship between objective balance, perceived sense of balance, and fear of falling in stroke patients
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Oguz, Semra; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Kavlak, Bahar; Acar, Gonul; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk; Polat, Mine Gulden
    Objective: The objective of our study was to investigate the relationship between objective balance, fear of falling, and perceived sense of balance (PSB) in stroke patients. Methods: Seventy patients aged 18-65 years with chronically developed hemiplegia or hemiparesis were enrolled in the study. Patients' objective balance scores, fear of falling, and PSB were obtained using the berg balance scale (BBS), the falls efficacy scale (FES), and a visual analog scale, respectively. The Standard Mini-Mental Examination was performed to exclude patients with mental disorders from the study. Results: There was a moderate negative correlation between PSB and BBS scores (p = 0.001, rho = -0.588); a strong negative correlation between BBS and FES scores (p = 0.001, rho = -0.808); and a strong positive correlation between PSB and FES scores (p = 0.001, rho = 0.714). We found that BBS scores had negative correlation with PBS scores in left hemiplegic patients while there was no any relationship between BBS and PBS scores in right hemiplegic patients. Conclusion: PSB assessment, besides the BBS, should be considered among the routine assessment methods that enable the rehabilitation team to be aware of patients' balance capacities.

    Beliefs towards mental illness in Turkish physiotherapy students
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Yildirim, Meric; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Balci, Birgul; Yurdalan, Ufuk
    Mental health is a new area of specialization for physiotherapists. However, they usually meet patients with psychiatric co-morbidities secondary to other chronic diseases. It is important to explore the beliefs of future physiotherapists regarding mental illness in order to implement effective strategies to avoid possible stigmatizing attitudes that may interfere with the rehabilitation process. Moreover, the psychiatric field should be introduced to physiotherapists as a clinical and research area. Therefore, we aimed to question the beliefs of physiotherapy students regarding mental illness using the Beliefs towards Mental Illness Scale in two different universities in Turkey. The total score of 524 students was 46.5 +/- 14.5 out of 105 while the Dangerousness Subscale score was 21.2 +/- 5.8/40; Incurability and Poor Social and Interpersonal Skills Subscale score was 24.2 +/- 9.3/55 and Shame Subscale score was 1.1 +/- 1.9/10. Students who had a relationship with an individual having a mental problem and students who had consulted a psychiatrist/psychologist for any mental problem showed more positive beliefs. Future physiotherapists should be informed and trained regarding people with mental illness both to avoid stigma and to be aware of this area in physiotherapy settings. Therefore, it is important to implement new curricula for schools providing physiotherapy education including courses, lectures and clinical practices in the psychiatry field.
