Objectives: The specific objectives of this study were: 1) to estimate the prevalence rate of fatigue and physical activity level and 2) to examine the relationship between these two variables among vocational college students. Design: This cross-sectional research was done with a 1/2 sampling method of 186 students at a vocational college. As a data-collecting device, the Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (PAAQ), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) were used. An additional questionnaire was administered to obtain demographic data. Results: The prevalence rate of fatigue . . . was 55.9%. The average weekly energy consumption of the students calculated in terms of IPAQ total was 1223.52±1194.80MET-min/week; in terms of the PAAQ total, it was 10401.35±9925.2kcal/week. The average weekly energy consumption of the students calculated in terms of the IPAQ total was 1016.13±1222.89MET-min/week for the fatigue group; and in terms of the PAAQ total, it was 9042.74±4954.55kcal/week. When the whole group was catagorised according to their IPAQ total score, 55.9% (104) of them were determined to be inactive, 34.9% (65) were minimally active and 9.1% (17) were active. When the whole group were categorised according to their PAAQ total score, 91.8% (171) were sedentary, 2.4% (2) were active and 4.8% (4) were very active. Except for the PAAQ stair and PAAQ school variables, from the perspective of other variables of physical activity measurement, a statistical difference between the fatigued and non-fatigued groups was seen ( Daha fazlası Daha az

Objective: To investigate the perceived social support systems’, and depression’s effects on attitudes regarding coping strategies for the disease in patients with epilepsy. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 182 epileptic patients who applied to the Neurology Polyclinics of the Faculty of Medicine at Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey between November 2011 and November 2012. As data collection tools, we used the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Systems, Beck Depression Inventory, and the Assessment Scale for Coping Attitudes. Results: We found that epileptic patients most frequently employed emo . . .tion-oriented coping strategies. Among the emotion-oriented coping strategies, religious coping ranked first, positive reinterpretation and growth came second, while using instrumental social support, which was one of the problem-oriented coping strategies, ranked third. The most frequently used non-functional coping methods were “focus on and venting of emotions”. The most influential variables on coping strategies of epileptic patients were age, gender, educational level, family structure, type of seizures, and the interference of the disease in communication. We found a negatively significant correlation among the scores of depression and emotion-oriented coping strategies, dysfunctional coping strategies, and problem-based coping strategies, while there was a positive correlation found between dysfunctional coping strategies and emotion-oriented coping strategies. Conclusions: The most influential variables on the coping strategies of epileptic patients were age, gender, educational level, family structure, type of seizures, and the interference of the disease in communication Daha fazlası Daha az

Background/aim: The purpose of study is to determine the gait performance and other factors related to turning in mild and moderate phase Parkinson’s disease patients (PD). Methods: Ninety two patients were followed up for observation. After passing neurological examinations, the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn/Yahr Scale (H&Y), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Tinetti test, Berg Balance test, 6 m walking test, step count, 360° turning duration, and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were applied. All cases were evaluated according to the “on” period. Results: Forty one females and 51 males participated . . . in the study. The duration of time it took to turn right was 8.22 ±6.26 seconds, and the time it took to turn from left was 8.51±6.63 sec. There appeared to be no statistical difference in the turn times of patients either in terms of the socio-economic factors of gender, education level, or employment status. But, statistically significant relationships were found when it came to in both directions, age, duration of illness, UPDRS, FIM, Tinetti, the Berg Test, the walking test, and the number of steps taken. Conclusion: Results suggest that 360 degree turning performance in mild and moderate stage PD is strongly associated with patient’s age, disease duration and disease severity Daha fazlası Daha az
