An update of health economics analysis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adult population in Turkey was performed. The relationship between chronic long-term complications (i.e. cardiovascular, neurologic, ophthalmic etc) and cost components is reported in this presentation. Forty centres were selected from the list of centres in which adult T2DM patients were followed on routine basis. These centres were representative of the country, since they were selected by two-stage cluster sampling. Medical files were reviewed for two to five years prior to the study. Collected data included health care utilization items (medical and surgical treatments, laboratory tests, inpatient/outpatient visits, consultations and patient education). Item prices were obtained from the Ministry of Health and Social Security Organization of Turkey (1€ = 2.3210 Turkish Liras; Feb 2012). A total of 942 patients' data were included in the analysis. In 63.7% of the patients, no visits related to any diabetic complication had been recorded, thus these patients were regarded as patients without complication. The proportions of patients with one, two and more than two complications were 25.8%, 7.9% and 2.6%, respectively. Total annual cost, which was found to be 324.27€ in patients with no systemic complication increased to 512.78€, 641.94€, 817.84€ and 1835.06€ with increasing number of systems involved (from one system to four systems). The cost of DM is strongly related with the number of systems involved by diabetic complications. Since the prevalence of DM is quite high and is further increasing, prevention and/or delay of complications will be crucial to reduce the economic burden of diabetes on the general health care budget. [Integrating the costs from this analysis and the epidemiologic data from a recently updated local study (TURDEP-II), a burden of disease model will be developed and distributed soon].

In early the COVID-19 pandemic, routine dental treatments have been delayed due to the risk of disease transmission. This delay may lead public to search for information on the Internet for a solution.This study aims to evaluate the public interest in dentistry in the early months of the COVID-19 global pandemic in the selected countries.The daily numbers of new COVID-19 cases were recorded for China, South Korea, Italy, Germany, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey. For these countries, Internet search interest of the keyword 'dentistry', 'coronavirus', 'COVID-19', 'SARS-CoV-2' and 'pandemic' in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic was evaluated by using Google Trends data.In most countries included the public Internet search interest in 'dentistry+coronavirus+COVID-19+SARS-CoV-2+pandemic' peaked prior to the peak of new COVID-19 cases. While a statistically significant positive correlation was observed between the number of new cases and Google Trends data in China, South Korea, Italy and Germany, a statistically significant negative correlation was observed in Turkey.The peak public interest in dentistry has been prior to the peak of COVID-19 new cases in most countries. The use of Internet data can provide useful information about pandemics and many other diseases.

Abstract Background Turkey hosts nearly four million refugees and 99% live in urban areas. Research in urban settings pose different challenges and opportunities than research in refugee camps. In this article, we aimed to share the challenges and experiences we encountered in a mixed-methods study to assess mental health problems and barriers to accessing mental health care among refugees in urban areas of Turkey. Discussion In our case, the main challenges in conducting research with refugees were collecting data from a highly traumatized population, difficulties with contacting undocumented asylum seekers including trust issues and the fear of deportation, the risk of secondary traumatization among data collectors, and the bureaucracy during study approval processes. Targeting a representative sample was not feasible, because of the lack of publicly available demographic data on a district level, presence of undocumented asylum seekers and high mobility among the refugees. Although respondents with significant psychological symptoms were routinely referred to available mental health services, we were able to do less for unregistered refugees with problems in accessing health care. Language/alphabet differences and differing dialects of Arabic posed another challenge in both translation and administration of the scales. Based on cultural characteristics, a gender-balanced team was used and the interviewers were gender-matched whenever needed. Also, the research team had to work after work hours and during weekends to be able to interview male refugees, since most refugee men were at work during working hours and most days of the week. Conclusions The research team’s experience showed that refugee population characteristics including level of trauma, language, culture, gender, legal status, and urban setting characteristics including places of living, mobility, availability of publicly available demographic data, and outreach-related barriers lead to different challenges and ethical responsibilities of researchers and affect the research costs in terms of time, human resources and finance. Even in a host country with geographical, religious and cultural proximity to the refugees, profound challenges exist in conducting mental health research in urban settings. Learning from previous experience and collaborating with local researchers and institutions are vital for better public health research and practice outcomes.

To examine the influence of safety climate perception and safety performance on safety outcomes in the form of near misses and injuries a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 562 employees in twelve marble factories in Diyarbakır, Turkey. Study findings revealed that safety communication, management's safety commitment and safety training in the workplace influenced safety performance of workers most. Overall results suggest that improvement in the level of safety performance was associated with a reduction in accidents. Safety communication was the most significant dimension of safety climate to reduce near misses and injuries. When socio-demographics of employees were considered, the means of perception of safety systems in workplace was lower among younger groups. While participants from lower educated groups were more likely to care about safety performance, participants with high income were more likely to perceive management's safety commitment, safety training, and safety communication. These findings are important for management and employees of marble factories since they provide evidence about the factors that firms can consider to reduce occupational accidents and encourage safety performance in workplaces.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-related cases and deaths are ongoing throughout the world, but there is still no effective drug in its treatment, and the vaccine supply is not adequate for the global population. It is important that pharmacists have sufficient knowledge and awareness to prevent and control the disease. COVID-19 has been widely covered in the media, which has been a source widely used by healthcare professionals. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and impressions of community pharmacists about COVID-19 and the factors affecting them.The questions in this survey were formed using the guideline created by the World Health Organization, a guide composed by the Turkish COVID-19 Scholarly Commission, and data disclosed to the public on the website of the Ministry of Health. The questionnaire was designed with Google forms and then applied to community pharmacists all over Turkey by sharing the survey link.Analyses of 393 questionnaires showed that Ministry of Health/government statements, the internet (scientific sources), and the media were the preferred sources of information (96.7%, 89.6%, and 84%, respectively). “Ways to avoid COVID-19” was the most searched title (96.9%). It was determined that the names of the two drugs most frequently mentioned by the participants to be used in the treatment of COVID-19 in Turkey were hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (57.5%; 50.1%, respectively). Participants who received information from the media gave less education to patients/customers on personal protection measures against COVID-19 (83.3%) and symptoms of COVID-19 (78.8%); however, their behavior regarding the training of pharmacy personnel was found to be the opposite. It has been determined that about half of the participants (46.6%) mostly trust the Ministry of Health regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.Media and other sources influence the knowledge, behavior and impressions of pharmacists’. Having a high level of knowledge positively affects people’s behavior. It is important for pharmacists to have accurate information about COVID-19 and to transfer their knowledge to the community to provide patient education and to prevent/control the spread of COVID-19.

Medicalization of childbirth services and regional differences are the major obstacles in the improvement of women and child health in Turkey. The present study analyzes the geographic distribution of the efficiency of childbirth services in Turkish provinces. Data was collected from the official statistical records of the 2017 Public Hospitals Statistical Yearbook. Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes’ (Eur J Oper Res 2(6):429–444, 1978) input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA) was applied to determine provincial efficiency scores, using childbirth-specific input and output indicators. Jackknife analysis was used for a robustness check of the DEA scores. Four different DEA models were constructed, and the final model’s efficiency scores were recorded. Finally, a decision-tree procedure was integrated into the DEA results, and predictors of efficient and inefficient provinces were examined. A total of 81 provinces in Turkey, representing seven geographic regions, were included in the analysis. The results showed that 18% of the provinces were efficient in terms of childbirth services. Average efficiency scores were high (0.71) for provinces located in the Southeast Anatolia Region. The most important predictor of efficiency for childbirth services is the number of beds in neonatal intensive care units (Neo_int_n_b). A geographic distribution of the provincial efficiency scores of childbirth services shows that eastern Turkey has the highest score. Neo_int_n_b is the most important determinant of efficiency scores. Ensuring public-health managers’ awareness about and continuous monitoring of childbirth services, while focusing more on regional differences, is essential to improve the status of children’s health in Turkey.

In this study, the amount of medical waste generated in a high-populated city in Turkey between January 2018 and August 2021 was evaluated, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on waste amounts and waste production rate was investigated. While a total of 79,027 kg/month of medical waste was produced in the city before COVID-19, this value reached 116,714 kg/month after COVID-19. The increase in the amount of medical waste due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the province was calculated as 48% on average. It was determined that 75% of this waste amount originates from public hospitals in the city. While the production of medical waste was 0.86 kg/bed day in the pre-COVID-19 period, this value increased to 0.96 kg/bed day in 2020 and to 1.34 kg/bed day in 2021 with the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the results obtained, the amount of medical waste reached in the province due to COVID-19 is the amount of medical waste expected to be generated in the 2040s under normal conditions. It is a very important issue in terms of public health that the capacity of waste disposal in medical waste management in cities is flexible to respond to severe epidemic conditions. Based on the information obtained within the scope of the study, changes in the amount of medical waste in a city with a dense population under pandemic conditions can be obtained based on real data and projections regarding disposal capacity can be made more realistically.The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10163-022-01428-3.

We aimed to determine the reasons for irrational antibiotic use, to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of physicians regarding such use, to find factors affecting knowledge of physicians, and to explore precautions that need to be taken to stop irrational antibiotic use.We performed the study between January 2014 and June 2014. We included 202 physicians who answered a questionnaire with 22 multiple-choice questions about knowledge (eight questions), behavior and attitudes of physicians (nine questions), and recommendations for reducing antibiotic consumption (five questions). Answers to all questions were assessed according to the physician's age, educational status, metropolitan areas, and healthcare facilities.The effects of parents' expectations and satisfaction (7.4%-40.0%) (P<0.0001) and socioeconomical status of families (33%-62%) (P=0.007) increased as the participants' age decreased. Participants working at public hospitals (42.6%) considered expectations and satisfaction of parents more important than other participants (10.5%-26.9%; P=0.002). Rapid recovery of patients was not an essential determinant for administering antibiotics for pediatricians (25.7%) and pediatric assistants (26.9%). However, it was important for emergency physicians (55.6%) and family physicians (60%, P=0.016). Physicians working at university hospitals did not consider this determinant as important as physicians working in other healthcare facilities (P=0.001).To determine the obstacles associated with promoting rational antibiotic usage, every country should assess the attitudes, behavior, and knowledge of physicians related to such use. The present study is one of the few in Turkey to address the problems associated with irrational antibiotic use.

Waterpipe smoking is a traditional habit in Arab World, Turkey, Middle East and Central Asia. Recently it became popular in many countries, mostly among young people. A background of growing prevalence is discussed separately for countries with an old tradition of water pipe smoking and for those where it appeared recently. Contrary to smokers belief numerous studies indicate that waterpipe being responsible for adverse health effects is not a safe alternative for cigarette smoking. Furthermore, waterpipe smoking is conducive to tobacco smoking dependence and may leave a part of the group as cigarette smokers. Hence, tobacco control policies should cover also waterpipe smoking.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are serious public health concerns in many countries. One of the main strategies in prevention of STDs is training people who are at high risk for STDs. We aimed to train enlisted men in the Turkish Armed Forces while they served their compulsory military service because every healthy Turkish man has to complete this service and they are at high risk for STDs, as well. This study contains two main parts: trainer training and training of enlisted men. The target groups are health noncommissioned officer school students for the trainer training and enlisted men serving in a military medical academy for STD training. For both groups, we prepared and applied different training programs considering each group's knowledge needs on the topic. To describe knowledge needs, we administered a pretest on both groups. First, we trained candidate trainers, then they trained the enlisted men. We evaluated both programs comparing pre- and posttest results. In both programs, mean test scores of the groups increased significantly. Success levels of the groups also increased significantly after using a cutoff point for test scores. With respect to relative effectiveness, attributed effectiveness, and effectiveness ration, the trainers training program was more effective than the other. As a result, our approach to training enlisted men as young adults is effective. We should evaluate the limitations of the study and consider our experiences to make the program more effective.

<strong>Objective:</strong> Health literacy plays a critical role in chronic disease self-management. This study aimed to determine the relation between health literacy levels, hypertension awareness and control among primary-secondary school teachers in Turkey. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This descriptive and cross-sectional research was conducted among school teachers with the participation of 500 volunteer teachers of both genders. The response rate was 86.2%. To determine health literacy levels, the Newest Vital Sign Scale and Blood Pressure Concept Test were used. <strong>Results:</strong> The mean scores of all individuals were 2.12 ± 1.82 over six points although this showed “limited” levels of health literacy. The mean scores obtained from the scale were 2.13 ± 1.83 in non-hypertensives, while it was 2.06 ± 1.77 in hypertensives. Nonetheless, disease knowledge and awareness were low in teachers. Adequate health literacy levels were low according to disease awareness and control. The measured health literacy levels of teachers didn’t overlap with their own assessments about health literacy skills. <strong>Recommendations:</strong> Limited health literacy levels in educators gave an impression that our education system was poor in terms of health education programs.

This supplement focusses on the MedCHAMPS project (Mediterranean studies of cardiovascular disease and hyperglycaemia: analytical modelling of population socioeconomic transitions, http://research.ncl.ac.uk/medchamps/). MedCHAMPS was a European Commission funded research project involving institutions from North Africa and the Middle East (occupied Palestinian territory, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey). It aimed to make recommendations about policy initiatives likely to be the most cost-effective in reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes. The project developed a conceptual framework, the policy effectiveness and feasibility loop (Bowman et al. 2012; Maziak et al. 2013), specifically designed to encourage the use of evidence in forming healthy public policies. The major components were qualitative situational analysis, epidemiological modelling including cost-effectiveness analyses (Abu-Rmeileh et al. 2012, 2013; Rastam et al. 2012; Al Ali et al. 2013; Saidi et al. 2013; Unal et al. 2013; Mason et al. 2014), and option appraisal. Three papers in this supplement illustrate key results of epidemiological modelling and cost-effectiveness analyses. The first described worrying adverse risk factor trends in each country studied. Mean body mass index (BMI) and diabetes prevalence were increasing steadily and smoking prevalence remained very high in men. A second paper applied the diabetes ‘‘IMPACT’’ model, a tool developed specifically for this research project, in Turkey. Adverse trends in major diabetes risk factors (BMI), in conjunction with population growth and ageing, could result in an increase in diabetes prevalence from 7 % in 1997 to 31 % by 2025 in Turkey. These epidemiological models identified possible targets for intervention which included reducing dietary salt intake. A third paper, building on an initial comparative analysis (Mason et al. 2014) estimated the cost-effectiveness of possible interventions to reduce dietary salt intakes in Syria. These included health promotion campaigns, labelling of salt content on packaged foods, and reformulation of salt content within processed foods. All were deemed potentially cost-effective, particularly salt labelling and reformulation. The other key, qualitative, strand included (1) a situation analysis of current CVD and diabetes policies, and (2) a contextual analysis of the ways in which healthcare systems managed CVD and diabetes. Research was designed around three distinct ‘levels’ of data collection: document analysis; key informant interviews; and clinic fieldwork. A particular challenge was that qualitative research was relatively new to these countries. We believe these papers are among the first to apply qualitative methods to assessing health systems and services in this region. Three of the four qualitative papers in this supplement—from Tunisia, Turkey and Syria—discuss the healthcare system problems of managing diabetes and CVD. The fourth—from Tunisia— This Editorial is part of the supplement ‘‘The rising burden of noncommunicable diseases in four Mediterranean countries and potential solutions’’.

The promotion of health and the prevention of disease depend to a large extent on the good planning and management of health programmes. Good planning and management in turn depend on the availability of reliable, accurate and timely information about the health situation. All countries have institution-based systems for the collection of routine information about health-services delivery. Many countries also use surveys to obtain information about other aspects of the health situation. This issue of the World health statistics quarterly describes two types of surveillance which may be used to supplement (or compensate for the absence of) nationwide routine systems or surveys, and a method for evaluating surveillance systems. It also includes articles on the International Classification of Diseases and Causes of Death (ICD) and the International Health Regulations (IHR) in relation to their use for planning and management. Two alternative surveillance systems are described. One uses institution- or city-based records of incidence of target diseases of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in a number of developing countries to determine the impact of minimization on the reduction of disease. In this article, some additional background material is reviewed on sentinel hospitals and cities in India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Malawi and United Republic of Tanzania. The other system is based on district-level household surveys of mortality, morbidity and nutrition-related indicators in Kerala State (India) carried out by trained local personnel who live in the districts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Undiagnosed and uncorrected refractive errors in childhood can negatively affect the development of vision and cause students to have low academic success and even quit school before graduation. This study aims to determine the effects of an eye health promotion program on the health protective behaviors of primary school students.This experimental study using a pretest-posttest design with a control group was conducted in three public primary schools in Aydın, a city in the Western Anatolia Region of Turkey, between April and November 2014. The eye health promotion program was provided by the researchers to the experimental Group 2 days in 4 weeks. The data were analyzed using the t-test, Chi-square analysis, the Mann-Whitney U-test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the McNemar test.The average age of the students was identified as 9.0 ± 3.64 years. The students wearing glasses all in the experimental group and 53.3% in the control group were found to always wear their glasses after the education program was completed (P < 0.05). These students, 97.9% in the experimental group and 58.1% in the control group underwent eye examinations from an ophthalmologist (P < 0.05). The eye health protective behaviors of the experimental group were found to have positively changed in the final follow-up, compared to the control group (P < 0.05).The eye health promotion program was found to be effective in improving eye health protective behaviors within the experimental group.

People with low socioeconomic status (SES) and some ethnic minorities are often underrepresented in lifestyle programmes. Therefore, a lifestyle programme was developed especially targeting these groups. Developing this lifestyle programme and designing an intervention study to test the effectiveness of this programme was an informative process in which several obstacles were encountered and choices had to be made. Study protocols, however, rarely describe these obstacles encountered in the protocol design process, and it is not always clear why researchers made certain choices. Therefore, the aim of this article is to describe both the final MetSLIM study protocol and the considerations and choices made in designing this study protocol. The developed MetSLIM study has a quasi-experimental design, targeting 30- to 70-year-old adults with an elevated waist circumference, living in deprived neighbourhoods, of Dutch, Turkish or Moroccan descent. The intervention group participates in a 12-month lifestyle programme consisting of individual dietary advice, four group sessions and weekly sports lessons. The control group receives written information about a healthy lifestyle and one group session provided by a dietician. The study contains an elaborate effect, process and economic evaluation. Outcome measures are, among other things, change in waist circumference and the other components of the metabolic syndrome. Matching the preferences of the target group, such as their preferred setting, has implications for the entire study protocol. The process evaluation of the MetSLIM study will provide insight into the consequences of the choices made in the MetSLIM study protocol in terms of reach, acceptability and delivery of the programme, and the effect and economic evaluation will provide insight into the (cost)effectiveness of the lifestyle programme in order to reduce waist circumference among individuals with low SES of different ethnic origins.

To analyse the impact of prenatal education on gestational hypertension, adaptation to pregnancy and on maternal and neonatal outcomes.The quasi-experimental case-control study was conducted at Aydin Maternity and Children's Hospital, Aydin, Turkey, from October 2013 to July 2015, and comprised women with gestational hypertension. The sample was randomised into education and control groups with the former receiving informative education and the latter receiving due medical care alone. Roy Adaptation Model was used to determine the impact of prenatal education. SPSS 20 was used for data analysis.Of the 132 subjects, 68(51.5%) were in the education group and 64(48.5%) in the control group. Postintervention, 11(16.2%) women in the education group and 37(57.8%)in the control group developed severe preeclampsia. Subsequently, 44(64.7%) in the education group had no preeclampsia. The corresponding number in the control group was 15(23.4%).Education based on Roy Adaptation Model proved to be effective among pregnant women in keeping hypertension under control.

Abstract Background Research shows tobacco plain packaging (TPP) is effective in reducing the attractiveness of tobacco products, effectiveness of tobacco packaging and increases the impact of health warnings. Since Australia introduced TPP in 2012, several other countries have adopted similar legislation, and more have begun preparations for introducing it. Turkey first announced its intention to proceed with TPP in 2011, however prior to the eventual passage of legislation in December 2018 there were many false starts and delays. This study (conducted in 2018 before TPP legislation was passed in Turkey) explored the barriers and facilitators to introducing legislation. Methods A qualitative study design was employed using a single case study approach. Publicly available documents relevant to TPP in Turkey were analysed and interviews with key informants from academics, bureaucrats in government ministries and non-government organisations (NGOs) were conducted in 2018. Results Barriers such as changes to the government, tobacco industry opposition and the economic crisis appeared to contribute most to the delays in introducing TPP. Despite the barriers Turkey had faced, TPP legislation managed to reach the political agenda primarily through the collaborative advocacy efforts of NGOs, academics and the leadership of particular tobacco control advocates. Conclusions TPP legislation was approved by the Turkish government on the 5th December 2018 and has been in force since the 5th January 2020. Implications for the wider uptake of TPP include the importance of building effective coalitions and raising public awareness. Key messages The tobacco industry opposition can be defeated by tobacco control advocates working together. Turkey’s experience should be considered by other countries who are willing to implement TPP.

Summary Introduction Health care reforms in Turkey have been implemented resolutely in the last 12 years. The shift from health center (HC) to a family physician (FP) approach is 1 of the basic interventions of these reforms. The goal of the current study is to evaluate opinions of patients, health care workers, and managers, using qualitative methods. Methods In‐depth interviews were conducted with patients who received health care services in both the FP and the HC periods, and with health care workers and managers in health care facilities that served in both periods. The interviews were recorded after obtaining permission, and then transcribed. Both health care staff that worked in the 2 periods and the patients that received health care services in the 2 periods reported that FP system was superior to HC system in attention showed by the family physicians, being followed by the same physician, and having confidence in physicians. Results The current FP period is superior to HC in facilities such as patient records, computer, internet, and phone. The strengths of HC period include home visits, environmental health studies, and family planning services. According to health care workers who worked in the 2 periods, HC was superior to FP in team spirit, public service delivery, and surveillance of communicable diseases. Conclusion Public service delivery and environmental health studies and primary care practice in rural areas must be scrutinized in the context of the FP approach.

Strategical Importance of Social Media Usage in Health Communication: An Evaluation of Non-Profit Organizations of Cardiac Health in TurkeyRecently, advances in technology have led to increased communication and information flow in the field of health communication. Specifically, developments in social networking have led to a more productive target group of people who generate the content of the information, and disseminate it actively. Today, nonprofit health organizations, in addition to public and private institutions that provide health care, have an important tasks of creating public consciuosness about health issues, and eventually changing individual's health care behavior. The goal of this study is to explore how nonprofit heart health organizations in Turkey utilise social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, in their efforts to communicate with the public in order to create conscioussnes and awareness. In this study, content analysis is utilised as the methodology. The communication content of the Facebook and Twitter accounts of Turkish Heart Foundation, Turkish Society of Cardiology, and Turkish Society of Cardiology between February 2010 and November 2012 have been analyzed. This study reveals that, event hough utilisation of social media has a strategic importance in health communication, Facebook and Twitter are not employed actively and effectively by these nonprofit organizations. Consequently, there are significant deficiencies in promoting consciousness by public awareness about heart health issues.

There are more than 29 countries that have membership of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation (MESOT) with more than 600 million populations. These include all Arab countries, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and countries of Central Asia. There are common features of organ transplantation in the Middle East Countries that include inadequate preventive medicine, uneven health infrastructure, poor awareness of the medical community and public at large of the importance of the organ donation and transplantation, high level of ethnicity and poor government support of organ transplantation. In addition, there is lack of team spirit among transplant physicians, lack of planning for organ procurement and transplant centers and lack of effective health insurance. Patients seek commercial transplantation most of the time. Patients on waiting lists for organ transplantation increase with time and there is a considerably growing gap between supply and demand of organs in the MESOT countries. Living organ donation is the most widely practiced type of donation in the Middle East and includes kidney and partial liver. Cadaver organ donation has a great potential in the Middle East. Nevertheless, this source is still not utilized properly due to the continued debate in the medical community about the concept of brain death and inadequate awareness of the public of the importance of organ donation and transplantation in many countries in this region.. There are three dominant and distinctive models for practice including the Saudi, Iranian and Pakistani models. The Saudi model includes the presence of a national organ procurement center as a governmental agency to supervise organ donation and transplantation. The Iranian model consists of renal grafts donation from the living genetically unrelated persons to the benefit of patients with end-stage renal disease. The Pakistani model is an interesting funding model for management of end-stage organ failure in the developing countries. We conclude that organ donation and transplantation are hampered with obstacles in the MESOT countries. Solutions need continuous work on many fronts. Local experiences can be implemented into new improved models that can help overcoming current obstacles.

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; University students are a risk group for heavy substance use and the experience of various potentially severe negative substance use consequences which may impact on their health, social, and academic functioning. Whilst the experience of negative consequences of substance use is well understood in North American student samples, there is little data on these experiences in European students. In order to develop effective harm prevention and reduction interventions for students’ substance use, there needs to be an understanding of the types of consequences experienced in European student samples. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Objectives:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence and predictors of the experience of negative substance use-related consequences amongst university students in 7 European countries. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; University students (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 4,482) in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Turkey, and the UK completed an online survey of their substance use behaviours and the experience of associated negative consequences. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; European students reported that experiencing a hangover or illness, missing class, being short of money, and experiencing memory loss were the most commonly experienced negative consequences of substance use. Not living with other students and using alcohol, cannabis, sedatives, and cocaine were also associated with higher odds of experiencing these negative consequences. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; In contrast to North American data, European university students tended to experience consequences that are associated with lower level health risks rather than more severe consequences (e.g., drink-driving and physical injury). Harm prevention and reduction interventions for students should be targeted towards those consequences that are most salient to the target group to ensure feedback is relevant and potentially more effective in changing students’ substance use behaviours.

Histories of medicine and vaccinology routinely reference the Ottoman Empire with regard to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, her children's variolation, and the transmission of this knowledge throughout Britain and thereafter Europe. Few, however, follow the empire's ongoing relationship with vaccination after the Montagu family's departure. This article examines this aspect of Ottoman medical history by noting how Jenner's advances diffused back into the empire and then presenting and analyzing how imperial, medical, and even community leaders began to both educationally condition the population and gradually enact legislation that mandated vaccination. Owing to severe infrastructural, personnel, and financial deficits, instability, and popular fears and trepidation, the empire's aspirations to achieve universal vaccination were far from realized by the time of its early 1920s demise-especially throughout largely rural Anatolia. Ottoman institutional, educational, and legislative advances, however, collectively prepared the ground for the succeeding Turkish republic and its public health agenda. Given the republic's promotion of its efforts to modernize Turkey amid its mutual initiatives of nation-building, the empire's histories of providing this foundation are also sometimes overlooked.

Patient mobility can be defined as a patient’s movement or utilization of a health care service located in a place or region other than the patient’s place of residence. Mobility provides freedom to patients to obtain health care from providers across regions and even countries. It is essential to monitor patient choices in order to maintain the quality standards and responsiveness of the health system, otherwise, the health system may suffer from geographic disparities in the accessibility to quality and responsive health care. In this article, we study patient mobility in a national health care system to identify medical regions, spatio-temporal and service characteristics of health care utilization, and demands for patient mobility. We conducted a systematic analysis of province-to-province patient mobility in Turkey from December 2009 to December 2013, which was derived from 1.2 billion health service records. We first used a flow-based regionalization method to discover functional medical regions from the patient mobility network. We compare the results of data-driven regions to designated regions of the government in order to identify the areas of mismatch between planned regional service delivery and the observed utilization in the form of patient flows. Second, we used feature selection, and multivariate flow clustering to identify spatio-temporal characteristics and health care needs of patients on the move. Medical regions we derived by analyzing the patient mobility data showed strong overlap with the designated regions of the Ministry of Health. We also identified a number of regions that the regional service utilization did not match the planned service delivery. Overall, our spatio-temporal and multivariate analysis of regional and long-distance patient flows revealed strong relationship with socio-demographic and cultural structure of the society and migration patterns. Also, patient flows exhibited seasonal patterns, and yearly trends which correlate with implemented policies throughout the period. We found that policies resulted in different outcomes across the country. We also identified characteristics of long-distance flows which could help inform policy-making by assessing the needs of patients in terms of medical specialization, service level and type. Our approach helped identify (1) the mismatch between regional policy and practice in health care utilization (2) spatial, temporal, health service level characteristics and medical specialties that patients seek out by traveling longer distances. Our findings can help identify the imbalance between supply and demand, changes in mobility behaviors, and inform policy-making with insights.

Teaching in the field of public health needs to employ a global perspective to account for the fact that public health problems and solutions have global determinants and implications as well. International university partnerships can promote such a perspective through the strengthening of cooperation, exchange and communication between academic institutions across national boundaries. As one example for such an academic network in the field of public health we introduce the International Public Health Partnership—a collaboration between a university in Germany and universities in India, Turkey and Nigeria. Formed in 2005, it facilitated the exchange of information, fostered discussion about the transferability of public health concepts, contributed to the structural development of the universities involved and promoted an intercultural dialogue through a combination of local and distance learning activities. Although well accepted by students and staff, different obstacles were encountered; these included limited external funding, scarce own financial, time and personnel resources, and diverging regulations and structures of degree programs at the partnership sites. In the present article we share several lessons that we learned during our joint collaboration and provide recommendations for other universities which are involved in partnerships with institutions of higher education or are interested to initiate such collaborations.

Domestic violence against women is an important social and public health problem worldwide resulting from unequal power relationships between men and women. The purpose of the present cross-sectional descriptive study was to determine the factors affecting the views and experiences of women living in the city centre of Manisa, Turkey, regarding domestic violence. The data were collected from a representative sample of women (n=873) in 2012. The socio-demographic questionnaire and the World Health Organization’s Multi-country Study on Women’s Health and Domestic Violence Against Women were used for data collection. The study results revealed that of the women, 14.8% were exposed to physical violence, 7.9% to sexual violence, 20.2% to emotional violence/abuse and 11.2% to economic violence/abuse within the last 12 months. Lower income level, lower social status, lower educational level, unemployment, being exposed to parental violence during childhood and being married to husbands exposed to parental violence during childhood were associated risk factors with domestic violence. The study results indicate that domestic violence against women is a common phenomenon in Manisa.

More than 29 countries have membership of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation (MESOT), and collectively these countries have a population > 600 million. These include all Arab countries, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and countries of central Asia. There are common features of organ transplantation in the Middle East countries that include inadequate preventive medicine, uneven health infrastructure, poor awareness in the medical community and public at large of the importance of the organ donation and transplantation, and poor government support of organ transplantation. In addition, there is lack of team spirit among transplant physicians, lack of planning for organ procurement and transplant centers, and lack of effective health insurance. Patients seek commercial transplantation most of the time. The number of patients on waiting lists for organ transplantation increases with time, and the gap is growing between supply and demand of organs in the MESOT countries. Living organ donation is the most widely practiced type of donation in the Middle East and includes kidney and partial liver. Cadaveric organ donation has great potential in the Middle East Nevertheless, this source is still not used properly because of the continued debate in the medical community about the concept of brain death and inadequate awareness of the public of the importance of organ donation and transplantation in many countries in this region. There are 3 dominant and distinctive models for practice: the Saudi, Iranian, and Pakistani models. The Saudi model includes a national organ procurement center as a governmental agency to supervise organ donation and transplantation. The Iranian model consists of renal graft donation from living people. The Pakistani model is a funding model for management of end-stage organ failure in developing countries. Organ donation and transplantation are hampered with obstacles in MESOT countries. Solutions need continuous work on many fronts. Local experiences can be implemented into new improved models that can help overcome current obstacles.

Aim: We investigated the public’s view of increasing violence in the healthcare sector, their opinions on violence, the underlying causes of violence, and the possible ways of preventing violence. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted between November 2012 and February 2013 in central Gaziantep, Turkey. We conducted a face-to-face survey with 1600 respondents who closely resembled the general structure of the population. Results: The most common causes underlying violent behavior were failure of the healthcare staff to perform their tasks properly (15.9%) and prolonged waiting times (15%). In total, 20.3% of the respondents considered violence as a method of securing rights. The issue that disturbed the respondents most (28%) was being unable to find someone who would listen to them, whereas 13.3% believed that the doctor should be beaten or killed when a patient died. Conclusion: A large proportion of those surveyed viewed violence toward healthcare professionals as a method of securing rights. (JAEM 2015; 14: 19-25)

The Middle Eastern map includes all the Arab countries, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and countries of Central Asia. There are common features of organ transplant in these countries such as inadequate preventive medicine, uneven health infrastructure, poor awareness of the medical community and public about the importance of organ donation and transplant, high level of ethnicity, poor government support of organ transplant, and political unrest. In addition, there is inadequate team spirit among transplant physicians, lack of planning for organ procurement and transplant centers, and lack of effective health insurance. Living-donor organ transplant is the most widely practiced type of transplant in the Middle East. Deceased-donor organ donation is not used properly because of continued debate in the medical community about the concept of death according to neurologic criteria (brain death) and inadequate awareness of the public about the importance of organ donation and transplant in many countries in this region. Continuous work is needed to provide solutions to overcome the current obstacles.

Older adults over the age of 65 were announced as a high-risk group in the COVID-19 outbreak and had to be placed on lockdown for a long time. The research was conducted to identify the psychosocial status, attitudes, and experiences of individuals aged 65 and over who were in-home lockdown during the COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey. In the study, 51 older adults were reached using the snowball sampling method. The research data were collected through qualitative interviews from older adults who were in house restrictions during the pandemic period, and thematic analysis was performed. As a result of the interviews, four main themes revealed as (a) Growing old is like a crime: The public perception of the older adults regarding the stigma associated with aging, (b) The inevitable course: Potential possibilities arising as a result of the pandemic period, (c) The cost of lockdown at home: Risk factors arising due to staying at home for a long time, (d) The desire for equality: The developing resistance against lockdown and demands for equality. The lockdown applied exclusively to older adults forced them to create new routines and made them aware of some values; however, they asserted that they were stigmatized and lonely, that their concerns about death/catching COVID-19 increased, and they were treated unfairly. Measures should be taken to prevent mental problems in older adults. In addition, public health nurses are advised to provide preventive care services and counselling for early intervention.

During the pandemic period of coronavirus disease, appropriate oral health management and disease prevention of children are very important for children's oral and general health. The aim of this study was to survey to better understand in children's dental health and dietary habits and to learn about parents' attitudes toward dental treatment and clinical factors associated with their QoL using the Turkish version of KIDSCREEN-10 during the initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in the general public.A two-part questionnaire, namely Part 1 addressed topics regarding changes in general and dental health, dietary habits of children under quarantine, and sociodemographic characteristics of the family and Part 2 impact of QoL was assessed by the KIDSCREEN-10 scale with 10 questions. The questionnaire was sent online using WhatsApp to a convenience sample of mothers with children between the age group of 8 and 18 years, who lived in Istanbul. Variables were statistically analyzed using the Student's t-test for independent samples and Univariate F-test, ANOVA according to the characteristics of variables which were analyzed.This study included 328 from 557 mothers with 58% respondent rate. The consumption of fast food, packaged food, and carbonated beverages decreased during the COVID-19 outbreak. Half of the mothers of children reported that they were anxious or fearful about their children visiting dentists during the pandemic and 64.2% of the children missed routine dental visits. The KIDSCREEN-10 scores for 13 years old or older children were influenced more by the COVID-19 pandemic than those for the 8-12 years old, who had a better QoL (P = 0.008).The results of this study emphasize the importance of oral health and QoL of children during the initial phase of the COVID-19 outbreak. The general perception of QoL in this group of Turkish children seemed to be substantially affected by COVID-19 outbreak.

The World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Canadian Public Health Association developed the Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS) to assist WHO member states in establishing continuous tobacco control surveillance and monitoring. The GTSS provides a flexible system that includes common data items but allows countries to include important unique information at their discretion. It also uses a common survey methodology, similar field procedures for data collection, and similar data management and processing techniques. The GTSS includes collection of data through three surveys: the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) for youth, and the Global School Personnel Survey and the Global Health Professional Student Survey for adults. Countries can use data from the GYTS to monitor and evaluate National Tobacco Control Action Plans and articles from the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC). The WHO FCTC was adopted by the 56th World Health Assembly in May 2003 and became international law on February 27, 2005. It is the world's first public health treaty on tobacco control and encourages countries that ratify to develop and implement tobacco control policies, such as bans on direct and indirect tobacco advertising, tobacco tax and price increases, promoting of smoke-free public places and workplaces, and placement of health messages on tobacco packaging. The WHO FCTC, National Tobacco Control Action Plans, and the GYTS share the same goal: the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective tobacco control programs in all WHO member states. What the WHO FCTC and National Tobacco Control Action Plans ask countries to monitor, the GYTS can help to measure. The GYTS provides indicators for measuring achievement of several WHO FCTC articles (surveillance and monitoring, prevalence, exposure to secondhand smoke, school-based tobacco control, cessation, media and advertising, and minor's access and availability). The synergy between the WHO FCTC, National Tobacco Control Action Plans, and GYTS offers countries a unique opportunity to develop, implement, and evaluate their comprehensive tobacco control programs. The reports included in this publication from Peru, Thailand, and Turkey are presented as examples of 'linking' GYTS data to the national tobacco control program efforts in each country.

Obesity is becoming an important public health challenge, especially among immigrants coming from low and middle income to high-income countries. In this study we examined the relationship between overweight/obesity and various socio-demographic indicators among different immigrant groups in Norway.We used data from the Living Conditions Survey among Immigrants 2016, conducted by Statistics Norway. Our study sample included 4194 immigrants from 12 different countries. Participants were asked about a number of topics including health, weight, height, demographic factors, length of residence and employment. We ran logistic regression analysis to determine the odds ratio (OR) of the associations between socio-demographic factors with adiposity among immigrants.Approximately 53% of the sample was overweight/obese. There was a significant difference in overweight/obesity by gender, age, country of origin and marital status. Overall immigrant men were almost 52% more likely to be overweight/obese than women. Women from Somalia had the highest odds (13.1; CI: 7.4-23.1) of being overweight/obese, followed by Iraq (8.6; CI: 4.9-14.9), Pakistan (7.5; CI: 4.2-13.4), Kosovo (7.0; CI: 4.1-12.1), and Turkey (6.8; CI: 4.0-11.6) as compared to the women from Vietnam (reference). Whereas men from Turkey had the highest odds (5.2; CI: (3.2-8.3)) of being overweight/obese, followed by Poland (4.2; CI: 2.7-6.1), Bosnia (4.1; CI: (2.6-6.5) and Kosovo (3.9; CI: 2.5-6.1). The odds for obesity increased with age and odds were highest in the eldest group 45-66 years (4.3; CI: 3.2-5.8) as compared to reference group16-24 years. The odds of being overweight/obese was higher among married (1.6; CI: 1.3-1.9) and divorced/separated/widowed (1.5; CI: 1.1-2.0) as compared to singles. Education, employment status, physical activity and length of residence were not associated with the odds of being overweight/obese.The findings of this study call attention to the importance of a greater understanding of the processes leading to obesity among certain immigrant groups in Norway. Moreover, there is a need for culturally adapted prevention strategies targeting immigrant men and women with high rates of overweight/obesity.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge levels of farmers who operate in agricultural activities. This activityconsidered among the most dangerous sectors in Turkey and around the world, on occupational accidents and diseases, occupational health and safety (OHS). The other objective was to learn about farmers’ thoughts and contribute to raise awareness and disseminate of occupational health and safety, in Osmaniye and Konya provinces where intensive agricultural activities take place. For this purpose, a face-to-face interview was conducted with 185 farmers in Osmaniye and Konya provinces. According to the survey results, 45.9% of the farmers stated that they had no idea about occupational health and safety, while only 24.3% of them had occupational health and safety education. There are statistically significant differences in farmers’ age and learning status, their views on occupational health and safety, and their knowledge of occupational health and safety obligations in agriculture. More awareness on occupational health and safety in the agricultural sector should be established. Information and education activities should be carried out to minimize risks and dangers.

Health is a result of the cultural pigment of the individual and community beliefs and attitudes which in turn is affected by the environmental, social and political conditions. A comparative survey study on the beliefs and attitudes of citizens in both Palestine and Turkey regarding determinants of health and health promotion factors has been conducted. For a representative sample, stratified random sampling has been distributed on (4100) citizens as a total 1,500 in (Nablus) Palestine and 2,600 in (Ankara) Turkey between July 2013 and March 2014. Then data has been entered into SPSS 18,0 programs, to get frequency distributions and descriptive analysis. The result of analysis pointed out attitudes and beliefs of citizens regarding factors affect health and health promotion with statistically significant differences (p <0.05) between Palestinian and Turkish Citizens. As Turkish citizens believe that smoking with a rate of (83.2%), stress (78.8%), health care services (65.7%), nutrition and exercise (64%) frame the most influential factors on their health. In the same study, Turkish participants believe that reducing poverty, unemployment, cigarette consumption, air pollution and improving the sheltering quality will improve their health. In the other location of the study, Palestinians believe that reducing the rate of poverty, unemployment, pollution, cigarette consumption, and violence play a role in improving the health of the public. In conclusion, the participants’ answers revealed factors that affect health among the citizens which in turn reflect the social and political circumstances they live under. Therefore, this study pictures the effect of political and socio-economic factors in shaping beliefs and attitudes of the individuals and communities. Thus, the related health behaviour necessarily reflects the importance of an integration of political, social and economic systems. As a result, these systems are considered to be a primary pillar in setting up our country’s health agenda to improve health and limit the inequality in providing health services to citizens.

Turkey remains an intermediate area for prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigenemia. The sheep-raising areas of Turkey also pose a high risk for cystic hydatid disease (CHD). Both HBV infection and CHD are major public health issues particularly in eastern parts of Turkey; however, there is no data regarding HBV infection in patients who have had CHD. The aims of this study were to evaluate the association between HBV infection and CHD and suggest ways to reduce HBV infection which is still widespread in Turkey. A retrospective study was conducted with 94 adult patients with active CHD referred to the hepatology department, Yuzuncuyil University School of Medicine from December 2010 to December 2012. All subjects came from rural areas of the region and underwent ultrasonography of abdomen which detected CHD of the liver. All the patients were serologically positive for Echinococcus granulosus. The control group consisted of 500 patients (300 men and 200 women) referred to the internal medicine clinics for other reasons. The patients with CHD and in the control group were tested for the existence of HBs antigen according to the standard procedures. The seroprevalence of HBs antigen was significantly higher in patients with active CHD than those in the control group (12.7% vs 5.2%; P=0.0017). Our data indicate that there is significant association between HBV infection and CHD. All patients with CHD should be screened for HBV infection.

Aim: A number of radical changes in social conditions have created new hazards, such as STDs and HIV/AIDS, for young people. The purpose of this research was to determine the level of HIV/AIDS knowledge and information sources of the youngsters who are under social protection in Turkey. Materials and Methods: Participants of the study were 649 female and 739 males between the ages of 12 and 24 (M = 15.3, SD = 1.92) who are under social protection in Turkey. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, sources of HIV/AIDS information questionnaire, and HIV/AIDS questionnaire. The questionnaires were administered in the evenings when most of the youngsters under social protection were in the dormitory. Finally, we reached 1388 youngsters (39.5% of the total). Results: Healthcare workers (e.g., doctors and nurses) and peers were the significant sources of HIV knowledge among youngsters under social protection and their HIV/AIDS knowledge was quite low. Gender differences did not affect knowledge on HIV/AIDS. However, level of education and age were positively correlated with the level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS. Finally, youngsters who lived urban areas most were more knowledgeable on HIV/AIDS. Conclusions: We concluded that adolescents under social protection need education on sexually transmitted diseases.

BACKGROUND Multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health problem. This study aimed to investigate probable risk factors for developing MDR in the patients treated for TB at Tuberculosis Control Dispensaries (TCD). MATERIAL/METHOD The records of 34 patients with MDR-TB and 70 patients with TB sensitive to all first-line drugs (DS), who were treated at TCD between January 2002 and December 2008, were reviewed retrospectively in Diyarbakir, Turkey. RESULTS The mean age was 34.47+/-16.99 (32.35+/-14.21 in MDR group and 35.50+/-18.19 in control group) with the range from 2 to 76 years. Of the patients, 63 were male and 41 were female. When risk factors for MDR were evaluated with univariate analysis methods, low socio-economic status, the presence of accompanying disease, previous TB history, previously administered TB treatment, inappropriate TB treatment, and noncompliance with TB treatment were all found to be significant risk factors. When these risk factors were analyzed with logistic regression analysis, regardless of other risk factors, MDR risk was significantly increased with previous TB history by 22.31, with previously taking TB medication by 13.19, and with low socio-economic status by 6.03. CONCLUSIONS Socio-economic factors also play an important role in this issue. To minimize the effect of patients' risk factors, health workers should be able to reach all patients, and therapies must be given under direct observation.

Chronic diseases served as a silent global epidemic before the pandemic, and individuals living with chronic disease now form one of the groups most affected by COVID-19. This study aims to determine the problems that employees with chronic disease face during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the study, data were collected from 952 individuals who live with chronic disease in Turkey. Of these, 76.6% of respondents worked for the public sector, a large majority of whom (67.7%) have worked full time during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that the COVID-19 fear level of employees living with chronic disease was higher than moderate (21.061 ± 7.607). When the variables affecting the COVID-19 fear level are listed in order of relative significance, eating problems, residing in the Mediterranean region, having asthma, and working as a female employee made the greatest impact, respectively. Necessary conditions of work should be provided to those living with chronic disease who could adapt themselves to working flexibly or working from home, so that they would not feel isolated from business life. This group should be provided with essential protective equipment, their working conditions must be reviewed and vaccination priority could be given to them.

Accessible summary What is known on the subject? A clear association exists between serious mental illness (SMI) and poor physical health. Individuals with SMI have markedly higher risks for mortality and morbidity. Mental health nurses play an important role in enhancing service users' mental and physical well‐being. The attitudes of mental health nurses towards physical health care have been explored in the western part of the world. However, cross‐country differences should be determined to reveal the importance of this global issue. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? This study adds new data to the literature on the Physical Health Attitude Scale's (PHASe) validity and nurses' attitudes when working in acute mental health services in different cultures. Nurses in acute mental health wards mostly focus on the basic physiological indicators of patients' existing physical health problems, so health promotion practices such as sexual health and eye/dental examinations are neglected for individuals with SMI. Nurses' higher level of confidence about their delivery of physical health care is due to their familiarity with basic nursing practices (e.g. monitoring blood pressure and checking blood glucose levels). Differences that exist between countries in relation to smoking habits are probably due to different regulations. What are the implications for practice? To improve patients' physical healthcare outcomes, nurses should be provided with additional training and supervision to strengthen their skills and confidence. Nurses' perceived need for additional training reflects the importance of physical health care in mental health settings, in which training could substantially improve patient outcomes. Authors believe that standard protocols must be established in acute psychiatric care to eliminate obstacles to holistic patient care. Training needs of mental health nurses on health promotion practices should be considered by administrators of mental health settings. Abstract Introduction Nurses play an important role in improving the physical health of individuals with serious mental illnesses. The literature on the attitudes of mental health nurses towards physical health care provides a small amount of data. Assessing trends in nurses' attitudes through suitable surveys is important to ensure holistic care. Aim/Question This study sought to examine the Turkish version of the Physical Health Attitude Scale's (PHASe) validity and reliability and to survey Turkish mental health nurses' attitudes towards physical health care. Method The sample consisted of 174 nurses working in acute psychiatric wards. Firstly, the psychometric properties of the scale were analysed using factor analysis and measures of internal consistency and reliability. Then, the survey results of the attitudes of mental health nurses towards the physical health of patients with serious mental illnesses were determined using the Physical Health Attitude Scale (PHASe). Results The translated PHASe functioned best as a 24‐item version and 4‐factor solution that explains 51.3% of the variance. The internal consistency value was 0.83. The respondents' attitudes were generally positive about their role. There was less agreement for the involvement of nurses in practices of health promotion, such as sexual health, eye and/or dental examinations. The nurses surveyed also tended to use smoking for therapeutic purposes. Implications for practice Mental health nurses' knowledge and attitudes should be enhanced by additional training in the ways of meeting patients' biopsychosocial needs. Obstacles to physical health care can be removed by implementing standard protocols nationwide.

Healthcare systems' reliance on taxes varies across countries with corresponding heterogeneity in public's willingness to pay taxes (WTP) for national healthcare provision. Turkey, a developing country that witnessed a major healthcare transformation, provides a unique context to understand what motivates WTP in a non-Western context.This is a cross-sectional study.We used the data from the International Social Survey Programme module on health and healthcare in Turkey. The data were collected from a nationally representative sample of adults aged >18 years (n = 1559). Using logistic regression models, we examine the association of sociopolitical values and sociodemographic factors with individuals' WTP to improve public healthcare.We find that sociopolitical values are more closely associated to the WTP in Turkey compared with sociodemographic factors. However, egalitarianism and humanitarianism were differentially linked to the WTP. Humanitarianism was positively associated, whereas egalitarianism was negatively associated with WTP.This study shows the prevalence of value-based approach to healthcare provision support in a developing country in the height of healthcare reforms.

Compared to those in higher socioeconomic groups, diabetic patients in lower socioeconomic groups have less favourable metabolic control and experience more diabetes-related complications. They encounter specific barriers that hinder optimal diabetes self-management, including a lack of social support and other psychosocial mechanisms in their immediate social environments. Powerful Together with Diabetes is a culturally sensitive social network intervention specifically targeted to ethnic Dutch, Moroccan, Turkish, and Surinamese diabetic patients in lower socioeconomic groups. For ten months, patients will participate in peer support groups in which they will share experiences, support each other in maintaining healthy lifestyles, and learn skills to resist social pressure. At the same time, their significant others will also receive an intervention, aimed at maximizing support for and minimizing the negative social influences on diabetes self-management. This study aims to test the effectiveness of Powerful Together with Diabetes. We will use a quasi-experimental design with an intervention group (Group 1) and two comparison groups (Groups 2 and 3), N = 128 in each group. Group 1 will receive Powerful Together with Diabetes. Group 2 will receive Know your Sugar, a six-week group intervention that does not focus on the participants' social environments. Group 3 receives standard care only. Participants in Groups 1 and 2 will be interviewed and physically examined at baseline, 3, 10, and 16 months. We will compare their haemoglobin A1C levels with the haemoglobin A1C levels of Group 3. Main outcome measures are haemoglobin A1C, diabetes-related quality of life, diabetes self-management, health-related, and intermediate outcome measures. We will conduct a process evaluation and a qualitative study to gain more insights into the intervention fidelity, feasibility, and changes in the psychosocial mechanism in the participants' immediate social environments. With this study, we will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a culturally sensitive social network intervention for lower socioeconomic groups. Furthermore, we will study how to enable these patients to optimally manage their diabetes. This trial is registered in the Dutch Trial Register: NTR1886

Abstract Background Demand for stroke rehabilitation is expected to grow dramatically; with the estimated prevalence of stroke survivors rising to 70 million worldwide by 2030. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) report - Rehabilitation 2030: A call for action – has introduced the objective of ‘upscaling’ rehabilitation globally to meet demand. This research explored what upscaling stroke rehabilitation might mean for health professionals from countries at different stages of economic development. Methods Qualitative descriptive study design using semi-structured interviews was employed. Purposively sampled, clinical leaders in stroke rehabilitation were recruited for interviews from low through to high-income countries. Results Twelve rehabilitation professionals (medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy) from high (United States of America, Germany, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, New Zealand), upper-middle (Colombia and Turkey), lower-middle (Vietnam, Pakistan, Ghana), and low-income countries (Nepal and Sierra Leone) were interviewed. Upscaling was seen as a necessity. Successful scaling up will require initiatives addressing: political governance and managerial leadership, increasing knowledge and awareness of the value of rehabilitation, financial support, workforce developments, physical space and infrastructure, and the development of community services and reintegration. Conclusion Although there have been many gains within the development of stroke rehabilitation internationally, further investment is required to ensure that this patient population group continues to receive the best quality services . For the WHO to be successful in implementing their objective to upscale rehabilitation, specific attention will need to be paid to political, professional, economic, and sociocultural issues at global and local levels.

The present study asked whether and how social-bond factors and self-control factors affect drug use by members of the Turkish armed forces, a key institution in Turkey, where all male citizens complete mandatory military duty. To implement the study’s 2-stage sampling design, first we randomly selected a sample of troops serving in Turkey’s 4 military branches, the army, navy, air force, and gendarmerie. This sample proportionally represented the military’s makeup by the 4 branches. From it, we then chose randomly a subsample from each group, obtaining a final sample of 4,461 men. Each participating service member self-administered a questionnaire approved by the institutional review board of Gulhane Military Medical Academy’s Psychology and War Psychiatry Department located in Istanbul. Data from the Mehmetcik 2015 Field Study survey was subjected to negative binomial regression, and results showed participants’ drug use to be inversely associated, overall, with self-control and social-bond factors. Drug-use behavior also differ by military units being served. An implication of the results is that drug prevention/intervention for service members could usefully target young men prior to conscription and persisting into their first months of military duty, aimed at enhancing their social bonds and self-control.

Considering public institutions in Turkey, it is seen that "Ministry of Health" uses communication activities effectively and organizedly via Twitter. In addition to its announcements, the Ministry of Health also creates contents about health communication in their messages. In this context, within the scope of this study, the tweets published by the Ministry of Health from the official twitter account between September 1 and October 1 in 2019 are analyzed in historical order. Qualitative data-based quantitative coding is made on tweets published by the official account of the Ministry of Health. The aim of the study is to examine how the Ministry of Health uses social media as a public institution in the terms of public relations models and to determine their communication perspective with the principles that they reflect. Within the scope of the study, how the Ministry of Health uses the twitter account in terms of public relations models, how it benefits from twitter account from the perspective of health communication, and which information it provides people with the contents including health communication are sought to be answered. As a result of the analyzes conducted in the focus of health communication based on public relations models of Grunig and Hunt, it was found that the Ministry of Health generally shared its messages unilaterally, did not interact with its followers other than a tweet, and mostly used the public information model.

One of the most challenging aspects of celiac disease management is lack of awareness in public. Aim of the study was to evaluate public awareness and sensitivity on celiac disease and gluten-free diet. 501 individuals in Manisa, Turkey were subjected to a survey to obtain information on demographics, awareness of celiac disease, celiac and gluten-free diet relationship, effect on social life quality and social awareness and sensitivity. Results were analyzed by chi-square test. 43.9% of the public had never heard of celiac disease before. Females were more aware of the disease and gluten-free diet dependency. Majority of the postgraduates (79.6%) recognized the disease. 44.9% of the respondents remarked that celiac patients had hesitations on dining out, while 32.3% found those people restricted for travel and holiday activities. Above one-third of subjects indicated that gluten-free product variety in the market was inadequate. However, more than half had no idea on these. Over 50% felt that, social awareness and sensitivity towards disease was unsatisfactory. This study was conducted to mirror the society’s approach towards celiac patients. It was demonstrated that public’s awareness and sensitivity about celiac disease was scarce. Knowledge of ‘celiac’ needs to be raised.

Quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV), containing both B-lineage strains, is expected to demonstrate superior effectiveness when the circulating B strain does not correspond to the one contained in trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV). Economic evaluation of replacing TIV by QIV in Turkey is crucial for public payers. This study examined the incremental cost-utility ratio of QIV vs. TIV from a payer and societal perspective and key assumptions that influence the study results. We used a static cohort model that incorporated costs, health outcomes, and quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) losses associated with influenza to evaluate QIV and TIV for the currently reimbursed cohort during an average influenza season in Turkey. Epidemiological data were based on surveillance figures; demographics and proportion of people at-risk were extracted from the Turkish census and the national household health survey; and cost data were estimated from national price lists, cost-of-illness studies and assumptions when data were not available. One year time horizon and a discount rate of 3% were used. Using QIV instead of TIV in Turkey would avoid an additional 15,092 influenza cases, 6,311 outpatient consultations, 94 hospitalizations and 13 deaths. The incremental cost per QALY gained when using QIV over TIV would be 77,932 TRY from a payer perspective and 73,953 TRY from a societal perspective. The cost-utility ratio was the lowest among subjects over 65 years old (48,869 TRY per QALY gained). Cost-utility ratios were sensitive to assumptions used for vaccine effectiveness, level of mismatch, and cost of QIV. Vaccinating the current reimbursed cohort with QIV instead of TIV is economically efficient in Turkey using a threshold of 3x Gross Domestic Product Per Capita. Uncertainty in the epidemiological patterns of influenza, vaccine effectiveness, and level of mismatch are key factors to consider.

In March 2017, the European Union (EU) celebrated its 60th anniversary. The frenzied focus in recent times has been on crises, from economics to migration, terrorism and the UK leaving the EU. However, in contrast to the increase in Euroscepticism are the EU's successes, which should and must be celebrated. One of the major victories from a public health perspective is the harmonisation of tobacco control policy across the 28 EU member states (MSs) through the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and the Tobacco Tax Directive, which, through the regulation of tobacco products, protect the health of the 511 million EU citizens.

Recognizing health disparities among children with cerebral palsy (CP) is necessary for understanding potential risk factors for CP and for implementing early and effective preventative and intervention treatments. However, there is currently little and conflicting evidence regarding the direct impact of contextual factors such as socioeconomic status (SES) for children with CP in the United States. These contextual factors include the complex social determinants of health on prematurity, comprehensive informed obstetric management for minority and vulnerable populations, and cumulative adversity disproportionately experienced by children, by gender, minority status, immigration, poverty, and structural racism.This study presents results from a review of health disparities among children with CP, using registry and population surveillance data from Australia, Canada, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Turkey, and the United States.The review confirmed that there are significant health disparities among children with CP, both in terms of prevalence and severity, based on factors such as SES, neighborhood disadvantage, maternal education, gender, and minority status.Strategies need to be implemented in the United States to promote enablement and functioning among children with CP who face additional health disparities. This requires a greater understanding of population groups at increased risk, comprehensive assessment and care for young children with motor delays, and systematic population counts of children and adults with CP using registries and systems of neurodevelopmental surveillance across health, education, and community rehabilitation. These efforts also require sensitivity to structural and persistent racism, stigma, trauma-informed care, and culturally sensitive community engagement. Additional efforts are also required to improve outcomes over the life course for individuals living a life with CP from a framework of enablement, self-direction, equity and social justice.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the causes of death in the military in Turkey and to evaluate the previously obtained data relating to the characteristics peculiar to the army in those cases of death that have acquired a juridical attribute. In this study, the cases presented in the years 1998 and 2000 have been investigated retrospectively. Seventy military cases investigated within a period of 3 years were all men. Except for the 20 cases in which the cause of death could not be determined, 30 of 50 cases in our study are included in the group of "natural deaths" and 20 are included in the group of "forced deaths." In conclusion, natural causes are still the leading cause of death in Turkey, and regarding this, it can be suggested that these deaths could be preventable by better health care and more careful premilitary health examinations.

Cancer incidences as well as the most prevalent cancer types vary greatly across Asian countries since people have differing health behaviors as well as lifestyle factors related to cancer risk. Countries have varying systems of government organization, laws, resources, facilities, and management strategies for addressing the cancer burden. Examples such as Korea and Japan with existing national cancer control programs need to focus on early screening and detection and quality of screening methods. If screening and detection increase to cover more than 50% of the target population, survival rate increases and thus the number of cancer patients detected increases resulting in higher medical cost. Thus, expansion of cancer screening, in addition to smoking prevention, immunization increase, and diet control awareness, are needed for cancer prevention strategies. Countries such as Thailand, China, Malaysia, and Turkey need to begin organized efforts to reduce cancer deaths through state-wide cancer screening programs. Strategies focused on increasing survival among cancer patients are also needed. In addition, government organizations and law regulations need to be in place as the first step towards cancer prevention. For the countries such as Nepal, Pakistan, Mongolia, and Iraq which do not have any cancer-related organizations in place, the first step that is needed is to raise public awareness about cancer; a public awareness campaign is the number one priority and should begin immediately. The easiest and most feasible step at this point is dissemination of cancer education materials during school health education and physical health screening. This must be started immediately because we need to avoid the development of existing cancers where patients will need to seek specialized cancer treatment facilities that are non-existent in these regions. In addition, hospitals need to take a step further and start undergoing registration of cancer prevalence and incidence cases beginning at the regional level. Through the hospital census, countries will be able to determine the magnitude of the cancer burden. Moreover, countries with professionals and researchers with advanced cancer research, education, and training also need to contribute through international cooperation.

Background/Aim: Parents are usually the major factor influencing children's development of routine oral health behavior. A higher education level of the parents is generally associated with having a more positive influence on their children's health habits and motivation to maintain healthy dentition. From this perspective, the aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of certain habits influencing dental health, such as toothbrushing, regular visits to the dentist, and changing toothbrushes, in a group of Turkish secondary school children, and to explore its relation to the education level of their mothers and fathers. Material and Methods: The study consisted of the use of a questionnaire designed to collect demographic information, oral health behavior of the children, and the parents' education level. Demographic characteristics and oral health behavior of the children were asked of the children in a face-to-face interview by one investigator. Only the parents' education level was asked of the children's parents. Results: The mean age of the 444 children was 11.66 ± 0.98. According to chi-square testing applied, there was a statistically significant correlation between the parents' education level and their children's dental visit frequency (p&lt; 0.05), whereas there was no statistically significant link between the parents' education level and the frequency of the children's toothbrushing and replacing their toothbrushes (p&gt; 0.05). Conclusions: Irrespective of the education level of their parents, positive oral health attitudes and behavior were not observed in Turkish secondary school children.

The aim of the study was to clarify public interest about cardiovascular disease during the COVID-19 pandemic using Google Trends (GT).The study was performed between November 20 and December 1, 2021. A total of 21 keywords related to cardiovascular surgery were selected. Public attention to all selected keywords was analyzed by GT with using the filters "web search," "all categories," and "Turkey." In Turkey, three COVID-19 waves (between March 12, 2020, and May 8, 2020, November 24, 2020, and January 20, 2021, and March 20, 2021, and May 16, 2021) were experienced since the beginning of the pandemic. To analyze public attention to cardiovascular surgery during the COVID-19 waves, 8-week periods during the COVID-19 waves were compared with the same times in the past 4 years (2016-2019).Comparisons of March 12-May 8 2020 and the same period between 2016 and 2019 showed that total public interest about cardiovascular surgery was significantly decreased (-28.7%, p=0.001). The comparison of the second COVID-19 wave (November 24, 2020-January 20, 2021 versus November 24-January 20, 2016-2019) revealed that public interest about cardiovascular surgery was significantly lower in the COVID-19 era (-22.2%, p=0.001). Comparison of the third COVID-19 wave and the same periods in the previous 4 years demonstrated that public interest about cardiovascular disease was significantly lower in the COVID-19 era (-8.5%, p=0.001). In contrast, the term coronary angiography was searched significantly more during the third wave of COVID-19 in comparison to the same periods between 2016 and 2019 (17.9%, p=0.015).Our study demonstrated that public interest in cardiovascular diseases was significantly decreased in all waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, interest in only the term coronary angiography was significantly increased in the third wave of pandemic.

Compared with other common diseases in the general population, a rare disease is a health condition that affects a small number of people. The progressive, life-threatening and multi-dimensional nature of these diseases requires the development of an effective health policy. The aim of this study is to examine health policy for rare diseases from a historical point of view in Turkey. Public Health Law No. 1593 provides the basis for policies developed in the field of rare diseases. In the early 2000s, genetic screening programs have been launched (neonatal metabolic and endocrine disease, inherited blood diseases, biotinidase deficiency, phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, adrenal hyperplasia, cystic fibrosis, etc.). Since 2007, Turkey has been a member of Orphanet. The Draft Guide to Orphan Drugs was published by the Ministry of Health in 2009. Since 2014, the public authorities, universities, and NGOs have been particularly interested in rare diseases. The civil society initiative 'Rare Diseases Network' was established in 2018 under the leadership of patients and their families. Some reports on rare diseases were published by TÜHKE and the TAÇESE in 2019. The Parliamentary Investigation Commission has been set up to determine the situation of some rare diseases. The Rare Diseases Department was established within the Ministry of Health in 2020. It is recommended that the National Action Plan on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs should be implemented to develop policies, in particular access to healthcare services, and provide economic and psychosocial support.

Abstract The temporal dimensions and tendencies, including some characteristic features of suicide in Turkey during the social transformation process, are the subject of this study with a focus on the provinces and differentiation on a regional scale. The number of suicides in Turkey and the characteristic features of those committing suicide during the years 1974-2013 have been collected in the ‘Suicide Statistics’ yearbook within this context. Both the suicide numbers as well as the crude suicide rates in Turkey have increased from the last quarter of the 20 th century to the beginning of the 21 st century. As a matter of fact the number of suicides which was 788 in 1975 increased at a rate of 304.7% to become 3189 in 2013. The crude suicide rate per 100,000 population increased from 1.95 in 1975 to 1.69 in 1980, to 2.42 in 1990, to 2.67 in 2000 and increased to 4.19 in 2013. Although crude suicide rates are smaller than those in most European countries, the fact that there is a rapidly increasing trend indicates that it has started to become a significant public health problem.

Keeping track of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) is crucial to inform public health efforts and limiting the ongoing pandemic. Here, we describe the first detection of SARS-CoV-2 P.1 lineage in Turkey. The fact that new variants can be detected in every geography of the world indicates the need for more whole genome sequencing in order to better understand virus dynamics and take earlier action.

If an influenza pandemic struck today, borders might close, the global economy would be severely impacted, international vaccine supplies and health are systems would be overwhelmed, and some people might panic. To limit the fallout, the industrialized world must create a detailed response strategy involving the public and private sectors. Some experts feel we are overdue for a flu pandemic and the SARS pandemic of 2003 could have been the wake up call to begin preparations. Fortunately there is some assistance coming from the federal government. On January 12, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt announced funding to assist in the preparation for a pandemic flu response. $100 million is being provided initially with another $250 million due later this year to assist states in pandemic flu preparedness. Texas' initial allocation is $5,875,044. While some believe that the AI (H5N1) causing illness and deaths in Asia and Turkey will be the pandemic flu strain, there is no guarantee that will occur. Thus, without knowing which strain may lead to a pandemic, development and manufacturing of a vaccine is delayed.

This study was undertaken to determine the effects of patient education and other interventions (regular exercise and diet), combined with existing oral antidiabetic therapy, on blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Two out of 16 primary health care centers present in Elazig, an eastern Turkish city, were randomly selected for this study; the patients had type 2 DM, lived in the service area of these health centers. Of a total of 100 participants, 33 were instructed to follow the standard diet for type 2 DM patients, 28 performed exercise in addition to the standard diet, and 39 did not participate in either exercise or follow the diabetic diet; they served as the control group. The percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1C)) was measured before and after the 8-week program and comparisons between the groups were made. At the beginning of the program, the HbA(1C) percentage in the diet-plus-exercise group (9.9 +/- 2.6%) was higher than in the diet (7.8 +/- 2.2%) and control groups (7.5 +/- 2.1%). After the intervention program, the HbA(1C) value of the control group had not changed significantly, while the most dramatic change in this value was obtained in the diet + exercise group, which was significantly reduced to 7.9 +/- 1.5%. The results of this 8-week intervention program indicate that a diabetes education and intervention program involving the combination of exercise and diet enhanced the effectiveness oral therapy on blood glucose control in patients with type 2 DM.

Vaginal douching (VD) is a very common practice in Turkish culture. This practice is affected by individual and cultural characteristics.The aim of the research was to determine how the education based on Pender's health promotion model (HPM) affects women's decision to quit vaginal douche and the factors that cause women to continue VD practices.The HPM guided the 2-hr education process. The sample has 58 women.As a result, the model education-based HPM helped 69% of women to quit VD practice. It was also determined that education affected women who performed VD to feel clean and to comply with the religion but was less effective in women who had lower education or performed VD to comply with the husband's demand.Finally, the study showed that the education based on HPM affected the women to change their attitude toward VD and quit it.

Abstract Background The Greek-Cypriot (G/C) and Turkish-Cypriot (T/C) communities have lived apart since 1974, with the former presumably adopting a more westernized way of life. We estimated the prevalence of asthma and allergies among children in the two communities and investigated differences in socio-demographic and lifestyle risk factors. Methods The ISAAC questionnaire was completed by 10156 children aged 7–8 and 13–14 years. Relative differences in asthma and allergic symptoms between the two communities were expressed as odds ratios (OR), estimated in multivariable logistic regression models before and after adjusting for participants’ risk characteristics. Results In contrast to our original speculation, consistently lower prevalence rates were observed for respiratory outcomes (but not eczema) among G/C compared to T/C children in both age-groups. For instance, the prevalence of current wheeze among 7–8 year-olds was 8.7% vs 11.4% (OR = 0.74, 95%, CI: 0.61, 0.90) and of current rhinoconjuctivitis 2.6% vs 4.9% (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.37, 0.71). Surprisingly, the proportion reporting family history of allergy was almost double in the G/C community. With the exception of early life nursery attendance, several protective factors were more prevalent amongst T/C, such as bedroom sharing, less urbanized environment and exposure to farm animals. In contrast, exposure to tobacco smoke was more frequent in the T/C community. Controlling for risk factors did not account for the observed lower prevalence of current wheeze (in the younger age-group) and rhinoconjuctivitis (in both age-groups) among G/C children while differences in the prevalence of eczema between the two communities were no longer statistically significant. Conclusions A mixed picture of potential risk factors was observed in the two communities of Cyprus, not consistently favoring one over the other community since, for example, bedroom sharing and rural living but also exposure to tobacco smoke were more common among T/C children. Investigated risk factors do not fully account for the lower prevalence of asthma and allergies among G/C children, especially against a background of higher family history of allergy in this community.

We investigate whether individuals are less likely to start and more likely to quit smoking in years when newspapers publish more articles about the health risks of smoking. With data from 9030 respondents to the 2008 Global Adult Tobacco Survey in Turkey, we construct respondents' life-course smoking histories back to 1925 and model initiation and cessation decisions taken 1925-2008. To measure information, we count articles published in Milliyet, one of Turkey's major newspapers. Results from linear probability models show that people who have seen more smoking-health risk articles know more about the smoking-health relationship. Holding constant each individual's information stock, education, place of residence, and the price of cigarettes, we find that, as new information arrives, male and female smokers in all cohorts are significantly more likely to quit and women are less likely to start. Our analysis is one of the first that examines how new information affects smoking decisions while controlling for each individual's existing stock of information.

Suicidal behavior is a serious public health problem worldwide and shows large intersocietal variation. This study aimed at comparatively investigating the aspects of suicidal behavior in 22 countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.The study was conducted with official data retrieved from several sources. The suicidal mortality data were collected from World Health Organization's data repository. Descriptive statistics, group comparison, correlational and regression statistical analyses were used to summarize the data.The average age standardized suicide rates in the Mediterranean countries are lower than the world average. Except in Morocco, more men kill themselves than women. Suicide rates are lower in Mediterranean Muslim than in Mediterranean Christian countries. Slovenia, France and Croatia have the highest suicide mortality rates. Greatest percentages of suicidal ideation are seen in Croatia, Turkey and Slovenia and the greatest percentages of suicidal attempts are seen in Palestine, Cyprus, Greece and Slovenia. According to the results of the multiple regression analyses, the coefficient of human inequality index was associated with lower both-sex and male suicide rates. Greater percentages of people saying religion is unimportant in daily life in a country were found to be related to higher female suicide rates.The findings from the study have shown that the prevalence of suicidal deaths, thoughts and attempts vary between the Mediterranean countries. Lower suicide rates are observed in the Muslim Mediterranean nations than in the Judeo-Christian ones. However, the rates of suicide mortality in non-Arab Muslim nations being comparable to the rates in non-Muslim countries confirm the concerns over mis/underreporting of suicidal behavior in Arab Muslim countries due to religio-cultural stigma attached to suicide. The average suicidal mortality rates are lower in Mediterranean countries than the world average. Generally, more men than women kill themselves. Results from the multivariate analysis revealed that as the level of human inequality increases the rates for both-sex and male suicidal mortality decreases. Religion seem to be protective against female suicides. The study has also shown that more research is needed about suicidal behavior in the Mediterranean countries.

Purpose: Effective primary healthcare services may prevent unnecessary admissions to emergency care which help efficient operation in the emergency care units. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between primary healthcare services and number of emergency service admission per person in public hospitals in 2013 in Turkey. Methods: This ecological study analysed data which data of 81 administrative regions. The data were obtained from Public Hospital Associations-2014 and Ministry of Health Annual Statistics 2013 Reports. Results: The number of emergency service admission has a negative weak correlation with the number of individuals registered for each primary care physician r=-0.228, p=0.040 . There was a negative weak significant correlation for the regions with large population r=-0.311, p=0.048 . When the populations of the cities were divided into two according to their size, no significant relationship was identified between the number of people per family physician and emergency service admission per person in both small and big cities p>0.05 . There was no significant correlation between the number of primary care examinations per person and the number of emergency service admission per person in all cities and small ones p>0.05 .Conclusion: In contrary to expectations, primary care services in Turkey is far from decreasing emergency service admissions. Reinforcement of primary care and implementation of an efficient referral system should be considered for better use of health care resources

Individuals with mental illness have significantly higher mortality and morbidity than the general population due to physical illnesses. Mental health nurses play a key role in providing care for common physical problems and protecting and promoting healthy lifestyles. Little is known from previous studies in the international literature about the attitudes, behaviours and thoughts of mental health nurses on providing physical health care.Mental health nurses mostly focus on the existing physical health problems of individuals with mental illness. However, mental health nurses do not include practices of disease prevention and physical health promotion for individuals with mental illness. The desire to see positive changes in individuals with mental illness, receiving positive feedback, feeling useful and happy, and feeling satisfied with their profession motivate mental health nurses in terms of providing physical health care.The knowledge and skill required of mental health nurses to provide physical health care need to be increased. Institutions should employ expert nurses who are able to guide mental health nurses to provide physical health care. It is important to provide adequate physical infrastructure and human resources to provide better physical health care in mental health services.Background Mental health nurses play an important role in improving the physical health of individuals with mental illnesses. However, there are limited studies of their attitudes and practices about physical health. Therefore, there is a need for qualitative studies to clarify the issue.The aim of this study was to determine mental health nurses' opinions about physical health care for individuals with mental illness.This study was carried out in Turkey. A qualitative descriptive approach was taken in the study. The sample consisted of twelve mental health nurses selected by purposeful sampling. In-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview format. A thematic analysis was used to evaluate the interviews.Four main themes were determined. (1) The barriers to physical healthcare theme included barriers related to patients, illness and treatment, barriers related to patients' caregivers, barriers related to health professionals and barriers related to the healthcare system. (2) The physical healthcare practices theme included common physical health problems and current nursing practices. (3) Motivators theme included the desire to see positive changes in a patient, receiving positive feedback, feeling useful and happy, having a sense of conscience and feeling satisfied with their profession. (4) The needs for better physical healthcare theme included the nurses' recommendations for better physical health care.Mental health nurses believe that the physical health care provided to individuals with mental illness is not adequate. Many barriers to providing care for physical health, such as having psychiatric symptoms that are not seen as a priority by patients and health personnel, were determined.Mental health nurses should integrate physical healthcare practices into their routine care. In addition, mental health nurses' knowledge and skills about physical health care should be improved.

HIV/AIDS-related stigma remains a crucial public health problem in the world. Unfortunately, health provider staffs such as nurses and physicians are the major source of stigmatization and discrimination against peoples living with HIV (PLHIVs) including in Turkey. The aim of this study was to assess HIV-related stigma towards to PLHIV by nurses and physicians and to examine related factors. Descriptive Assessment Form and the HIV-Related Stigma Scale used for data collection. The study consisted of 405 health workers including 251 nurses and 154 physicians. Over 86% of physicians and 69.3% of nurses had no specific education about HIV. More than 11% of the nurses and 8.4% of the physicians expressed that HIV can be transmitted with handshaking or breathing in a shared environment. Fear-driven stigma was significantly different by age, education, occupation, and work experience. Over 14% of the discrimination (Adjusted R2 = .14 F(15-389) = 4.46 P = .000), and 10% of the disclosure were explained by the variables (Adjusted R2 = .10 F(15-389) = 4.29 P = .000). The discrimination dimension had a strong positive relationship with the knowledge of HIV transmission modes. In our view, if physicians and nurses receive adequate and comprehensive training on HIV including stigma, the formations of stigma may be prevented and may not develop.

Objective: Health literacy levels of individuals are very important during epidemic periods such as COVID-19. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between adaptation to preventive behavior and health anxiety with health literacy level in the COVID-19 process. &#x0D; Material and Methods: This study is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The data were collected between January and April 2021 via Google Drive Form. The study involved 428 people who met the inclusion criteria working in a Provincial Municipality in north-west Turkey. The data were collected using Socio-demographic and compliance to preventive behavior data form, “Turkey Health Literacy Scale” and “Health Anxiety Scale”.&#x0D; Results: Participants in the study were found to have adequate health literacy (35.51 ± 7.13). It was observed that the level of adequate health literacy of individuals during the COVID-19 process were effective complying with preventive behavior. It was found that there was a significant negative correlation between the health literacy score averages and the health anxiety score averages (r= -0.459, p=0.000).&#x0D; Conclusion: Health literacy education and counseling services especially by those working in the field of primary health care and public health, can reduce health anxiety by increasing the adaptation of individuals to preventive behaviors during the COVID-19 period.

PURPOSE Although there are many myths about cancer in Turkey, there is no study evaluating Turkish public's knowledge about cancer. The goals of our research were to: 1) measure the extent of knowledge of cancer among the Turkish public; 2) determine the differences in extent of cancer-related knowledge between participants who have relatives with cancer and those who do not; and 3) determine the sources of knowledge possessed. METHODS Data were obtained from a total of 415 participants (244 female, 171 male), all of them sitting at the Marmara University Faculty of Medicine Hospital (MUFMH) outpatient clinic waiting area for non-cancer-related reasons. Each participant completed a 3-part questionnaire. Appropriate statistical tests were used for comparison. RESULTS The mean age was 41 years. Of 415 participants, 65.3% stated that they had one or more cancer patient in their immediate family; 70.1% of the participants had a high-school education or greater. The questionnaire showed that, depending on the question, anywhere from 1.7% to 88.5% of the general public possesses some false information; furthermore, the difference in accuracy between relatives of cancer patients and non-relatives was marginal. Only 3 specific questions, related to the following ideas, rendered answers that were statistically significantly different between these 2 groups: breast cancer is only seen in females (p <0.005), cell phones cause cancer (p <0.001), and cancer is always very painful (p <0.001). CONCLUSION The proportion of false knowledge about cancer was unacceptably high in our cohort. Broader efforts should be made to inform the Turkish public about cancer.

During November 2015, the North Carolina Division of Public Health was notified by the Pitt County Health Department (PCHD) that approximately 40 persons who attended a catered company Thanksgiving lunch the previous day were ill with diarrhea and abdominal pain. The North Carolina Division of Public Health and PCHD worked together to investigate the source of illness and implement control measures. Within hours of notification, investigators developed and distributed an online survey to all lunch attendees regarding symptoms and foods consumed and initiated a cohort study. A case of illness was defined as abdominal pain or diarrhea in a lunch attendee with illness onset <24 hours after the event. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for all menu items. Among 80 attendees, 58 (73%) completed the survey, including 44 respondents (76%) who reported illnesses meeting the case definition; among these, 41 (93%) reported diarrhea, and 40 (91%) reported abdominal pain. There were no hospitalizations. Symptom onset began a median of 13 hours after lunch (range = 1-22 hours). Risk for illness among persons who ate turkey or stuffing (38 of 44; 86%), which were plated and served together, was significantly higher than risk for illness among those who did not eat turkey or stuffing (six of 14; 43%) (RR = 2.02; 95% CI = 1.09-3.73).

The Concept of Health Locus of Control (HLOC) indicates the personal belief of an individual about who or what affects his/her health. This approach emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility for health, especially in the school years which represent a ‘critical period’ for students to adopt healthy behaviours and lifestyles. The main aim of this survey is to define relationships between Health Locus of Control and the dietary behaviours of Turkish adolescent students by evaluating their risky health behaviours. Results of this survey are used for prediction of how to modify positive health behaviours of students for the protection and promotion of their health. The study group of this descriptive study consists of primary and secondary school students (831) in Ankara. The results not only clearly indicate the relationship between HLOC and dietary behaviours of adolescent students, but also support the results of earlier research. In particular, the association between the relatively higher Chance-HLOC, which represents low responsibility for health, and risky dietary behaviours of students is striking. The Internal-HLOC of students has been found to be more effective than External-HLOC in maintaining healthy dietary behaviours. School psychologists and health educators need to emphasize HLOC in educational activities for reduction of risky behaviours.

Throughout the world, home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is being increasingly employed to treat patients suffering from chronic respiratory failure. This present study aimed to examine the characteristics and outcomes of 27 children seen in our department over a four-year period who were treated with HMV. The causes of chronic respiratory failure were as follows: 16 (59.3%) neuromuscular disease, 6 (22.2%) primary respiratory diseases, 3 (11.1%) congenital heart disease, and 2 (7.4%) storage disease. The mean age was 59.4 months (1 day-15 years); mean follow-up for invasive ventilation was 356 (0-1200) days and for non-invasive HMV was 517 (30-1440) days. With respect to maternal educational level, 13 had graduated from elementary school and 14 from high school or university. Nine of our patients resided in Ankara, while 18 lived in rural areas of Turkey. Eleven of the 27 patients died during the HMV period (1-36 months) at home. Five patients were weaned from HMV between 1-19 months. Our experience showed that HMV can be applied successfully in chronic respiratory failure patients in Turkey. Length of the follow-up period and mortality rate were not affected by the patient's place of residence (city center or rural) or maternal level of education.

The research object of the current study is to examine the impact of regional decentralization model on the performance of public healthcare services in Turkey. The efficiency of public hospitals has been determined by the type of healthcare services, “general healthcare” and “oral-dental healthcare”, with Data Envelopment Analysis at the level of 81 provinces (NUTS-3) for 2014 and 2017. By continuing the transition to decentralization in public health services, the possible effects on the regional health level were analyzed. Notably, this study proposes a two-dimensional approach, one of them is to determine public hospital performance at province level, and the other one is to examine whether the decentralization of health services had a significant effect on the efficiency of bounder (contiguity) provinces other means to catch spillover between performance scores. In the results of the study, the efficiency scores of 81 province hospitals differed significantly according to the provision of service patterns. And the relative efficiency scores are increasing with decentration approaches when is compared 2014 and 2017. Furthermore, there is a positive spatial spillover between every two types of hospital service province unit among public hospitals. This means that the hospital efficiency in the contiguous province has an effect of increasing the efficiency score of the region. This suggests that the decentralization model in public health services may have the potential tool to create a positive impact on the health level in the future if supported by progressive economic and health policies for developing countries.

Abstract Background While international students form an increasing population of higher education students in Turkey, there is limited empirical evidence about their health services utilization. The study aim was to investigate healthcare access among a group of international students studying in Ankara city and identify potential barriers that affect full healthcare utilization. Method A total of 535 international students from 83 countries completed an online-based questionnaire. The survey was conducted from September until October 2020. Variables between groups within the study sample were compared using ANOVA and Chi-square tests (with Fisher’s exact test). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationships between variables related to access to health services. Results Of the study population, 80.6% accessed the general practitioner (GP), 40% accessed the student health centres, and 11.4% were admitted to the hospital at least once. About 80% of international students reported changing their views to access healthcare more because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion Lack of awareness of healthcare support systems, perceived stigma associated with mental health services, and language barriers were the main barriers affecting healthcare access by international students. Implications Study findings indicate the need for education of international students on available healthcare, targeted health promotion, and training of health providers on effective communication.

Background Health literacy (HL) is considered to be an important precondition for health. HL research often identifies migrants as vulnerable for low HL. However, in-depth data on HL among migrants especially in its domains of health care, disease prevention and health promotion and its determinants are still scarce. Objective The aim of this study was therefore to analyse the current status of HL among migrants and their descendants from Turkey and from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in Germany and factors associated with it. This has not been studied using large-scale data and bilingual interviews. We differentiate between dimensions of HL, namely the domains of health care, disease prevention and health promotion which goes beyond many previous studies. In addition, we explore new mechanisms by testing the explanatory power of self-efficacy and interethnic contacts for migrants' HL. Methods The study includes 825 first- and second-generation adult migrants from two of the largest immigration groups in Germany, from Turkey and FSU, who were interviewed face-to-face in German, Turkish or Russian in late summer 2020. HL was measured using the HLS 19 -Q47 instrument. Age, gender, educational level, social status and financial deprivation, chronic illness, health-related literacy skills, self-efficacy, interethnic contacts, migration generation, duration of stay and region of origin were considered as possible determinants. Ordinary least square regressions were estimated. Results The average general HL score was 65.5. HL in health promotion and disease prevention was lower than in health care. Low financial deprivation, health-related literacy skills, and self-efficacy were positively correlated with each HL domain. Educational level, social status, age, gender, duration of stay and interethnic contacts were positively correlated with HL in some domains. Region of origin was only correlated with the domain of disease prevention until interethnic contact was accounted for. Conclusion Our study contributes to the existing knowledge by analyzing different domains of HL and testing its correlations with self-efficacy and interethnic contact among migrants. We reveal that migrants cannot generally be considered as vulnerable for low HL, as oftentimes outlined. There is a need for interventions e.g. to enhance the understanding of health information among subgroups with lower HL.

Abstract Seriously ill patients who have exhausted all approved treatment regimens and who cannot be enrolled in clinical trials may resort to expanded access programmes in order to gain access to unapproved, investigational drugs. It seems that in some countries, expanded access to investigational drugs is offered in clinical practice on a more routine basis than in other countries. This study is the first to investigate the experiences of physicians with expanded access to investigational drugs in different healthcare systems, with a focus on factors that facilitate or hinder expanded access. Semi-structured interviews ( n = 36) were carried out with medical specialists in the Netherlands ( n = 14), Turkey ( n = 9) and the United States of America ( n = 13), and analysed thematically. This study identifies five sets of factors pointed out by physicians that determine the degree to which expanded access to investigational drugs is deemed feasible in clinical practice: the suitability of investigational treatments, the application process, hospital policies, support by pharmaceutical companies, and funding and reimbursement arrangements. Based on the interviews conducted, we conclude that, while legally allowed and technically possible, expanded access is not always feasible for—and not always considered an option by—treating physicians. This is mainly due to lack of familiarity with expanded access, the extensive time and effort required for the application process, willingness or ability of pharmaceutical companies to supply the drugs, and funding issues.

Abstract Background School‐based injuries are an important public health problem. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence as well as outcomes of school‐based injuries at a public primary and secondary school. Methods This retrospective cohort study involved 2956 students enrolled at a public primary and secondary school in the central district of Kocaeli province in Turkey from the academic year 2010–2011 to 2013–2014. The data were collected by intern public health nurses at school health units using a school‐based injury form. Results The total incidence of school‐based injuries during 4 academic years was 10.52% person‐year. The majority of the injured students were aged 10–15 years (73.3%), and boys (65%). Around one‐tenth of the injuries were serious, such as burn, fracture‐dislocation and soft‐tissue injuries. Outdoor injuries were more prevalent for girls while boys had more indoor injuries (50.5%, 53.0%, P &gt; 0.05). The number of the incidence of ≥two injuries increased as the academic year progressed, and there was a weak positive association between the variables ( P &lt; 0.05, Cramer's V = 0.311). One out of six injuries were intentional, with the highest incidence in the 6–9 year age group (20.5%) and boys sex (19.8%; P &gt; 0.05). Conclusions School‐based injuries at primary and secondary school still challenge the health as well as the security of the students. © 2016 Japan Pediatric Society.

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the mental health of numerous people. To examine the psychological status of the general public across Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic, we collected data from 1,109 adults, ages ranging from 18 to 72 years. We used a demographic questionnaire, the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), and the abbreviated version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale. The mean score of the participants on the SCL-90-R was 1.14 ( SD = .78), and 16% of the participants scored 1 standard deviation above the mean. Some groups, including women and students, showed more severe psychological symptoms. The obsessive-compulsiveness, interpersonal sensitivity, and depression subscales had the highest three mean scores. We compared the SCL-90-R scores to previous study results and found a significant increase during the pandemic. Finally, individual stressors, COVID-19-related stressors, and perceived loneliness were found to be significant predictors, explaining 31% of the variance in psychological symptoms. Although collecting data online through self-report inventories limits the generalizability of the results, this study has important implications. Its results suggest that future clinical interventions should focus on obsessive-compulsiveness, interpersonal sensitivity, and depression among specific risk groups.

Malaria has been commonly determined in tropical and subtropical regions and the Plasmadium (P.) vivax generally occurs in our country, Turkey. However, in the people who have been travelling abroad from Turkey P. falciparum and P. malaria were also detected. The diagnosis was confirmed by microscopy of Giemsa stained thin and thick blood slides in four cases, at a magnification of 1000. The diagnosis of four cases was made by seeing the gametocytes of P.falciparum in thin blood films. The cases were found in Hatay region and the patients are those working abroad. The cases are presented in order to emphasize on the necessity of giving education on public health and taking the precautions for the prevention of the disease and in order to draw attention to malaria diseases caused by different species from abroad and to the fact that it can be seen in local cases as well.

Breastfeeding has a significant positive impact on the health of infants and is the best nutrition source. Health professionals/care workers play a considerable role in the promotion of breast-feeding. The knowledge and attitude level of health professionals/care workers and its influence on their own breastfeeding behaviour was investigated. Two hundred sixty three of 345 health care workers (response rate = 76.2%) working in Children and Birth Hospitals and primary health care centres in a rural city (Isparta) in south Turkey participated in this study. A questionnaire was administered. Descriptive statistics and chi2 test have been used (alpha = 0.05) to analyse the data. Seventy four (41.1%) of the respondents with children (n = 180) exclusively nursed their children for less than 4 months; 62 (34.4%) nursed beyond 6 months. Physicians with children (n = 14, 53.8%) were used to exclusively breastfeed less than 4 months (chi2 (4) = 9.76, p = 0.045). This study showed a difference between health professionals/care workers attitudes and knowledge level and their or their spouses breastfeeding behaviour. The reason why knowledge level of health professionals did not translate into their own or their spouses' breastfeeding practices needs to be evaluated in further studies.

Limited levels of health literacy can have a negative impact on individuals, society and the health care system. This study was conducted to determine the relationship of health literacy among adults to eating behavior and health perception. The population of the study was composed of adults in the age group of 30–60 years in the service regions of 10 Family Health Centers affiliated with the city center of Malatya located in eastern Turkey. Descriptive Information Form, the Adult Health Literacy Scale, the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, and the Perception of Health Scale were used to collect the data. The data were collected with face-to-face interview technique and analyzed by using number, percentage, and linear regression analysis. It was determined that there was a statistically positive linear effect between health literacy and eating behavior (p < 0.05) and between health literacy and health perception (p < 0.001). It was determined that health literacy, health perception, and its subscales accounted for 1.3% (R2 = .013) of the change in the eating behavior, the dependent variable. It was determined that the eating behavior subscales and health literacy accounted for almost 19% (R2 = .188) of the change in the health perception, the dependent variable. According to the results of the study, eating behaviors and health perceptions can be improved by increasing the health literacy of the individuals. It is recommended for nurses to provide individuals with trainings increasing their knowledge levels about health information, health literacy and eating behavior and consulting them.

We aimed to investigate the clinical aspects and visual prognosis in eye injury and to constitute data in the west Black Sea region in Turkey for national statistics.A retrospective analysis of 281 eye trauma cases admitted to the Emergency Department of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital between 2005 and 2010 was performed.A majority of eye injuries (42.7%) affected individuals aged 30 to 50 years. The most frequent cause of injury in the rural areas was wooden objects. The most frequent cause of injury in males aged 30 to 50 years was work-site injuries. Corneal-scleral lacerations were found to be the most serious injuries with regard to initial and final visual acuities.Eye injuries are still the most common and preventable cause of blindness. Simple precautions and public education might prevent this health problem, which causes economic and labor force loss and psychological problems. One of the basic precautions would be raising public awareness on wearing a seat belt inside the car and protective eyeglasses at the work site and while working in rural areas.

Making the right decisions in the field of public health depends on the reliable recording of statistical data such as death and birth. There have been radical changes and innovations in the death registration since 2009 in Turkey to improve reporting.To examine the distribution and the trend of causes of death between the years 2009 and 2017 in Turkey.Descriptive study.In this study, the causes of death were evaluated in three groups used in the Global Burden of Disease study. Group I included infectious, maternal, perinatal, and nutritional conditions; group II included noncommunicable diseases; and group III included injuries. Age-standardized mortality rates were calculated per 100,000 according to age, sex, and cause of death. Joinpoint regression was used to evaluate the trend in mortality rates. In addition, the leading causes of death were also determined.In total, age-standardized mortality rates increased significantly on average annually (1.5% per year). When the trends of causes of death were examined according to gender, there was a significant increase in deaths from group I in both genders and a significant increase in deaths from group III in males, whereas there was no statistically significant change in deaths from group II between 2009 and 2017.A significant quantitative improvement in death registration was seen in Turkey between the years 2009 and 2017. This is due to the increase in the number of reported deaths. The change in the distribution of causes of death is noteworthy. This research can provide the basis for further researches that will examine the change in causes of death.

The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of subclinical rheumatic heart disease in schoolchildren aged 5-18 by using portable echocardiography in Ankara, Turkey.The portable echocardiography screening was performed by a paediatric cardiologist for all of the cases. The mean age of 2550 healthy students was 11.09 ± 2.91 years (1339 females, 1211 males) in three private and three public schools. Echocardiographic studies were assessed according to 2012 World Heart Federation criteria for rheumatic heart disease.After reviewing the echocardiographic images, 73 students were reevaluated by an advanced echocardiography device in the university hospital. Evidence of definite subclinical rheumatic heart disease was found in 39 students (15/1000) and borderline rheumatic heart disease in 20 students (8/1000). No children had any clinical symptoms. The mean age of children diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease and borderline rheumatic heart disease is 12.4 and 11.4 years, respectively. The risk of rheumatic heart disease was found to be increased sevenfold in girls between 14 and 18 years. We surprisingly observed that the prevalence of definite rheumatic heart disease in private schools located in high-income areas of Ankara was higher than that in public schools.This is the first and largest single-centred echocardiographic screening study for subclinical rheumatic heart disease in Turkish schoolchildren. The frequency of rheumatic heart disease has been found to be 15/1000. This finding is similar to those of recent echocardiographic screening studies performed in middle and high-risk populations. We conclude that to decrease the burden of rheumatic heart disease, echocardiographic screening studies are necessary, and long-term follow-up of children with echocardiographically diagnosed subclinical rheumatic heart disease is needed.

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium spp. with high morbidity and mortality in human in tropical and subtropical regions. In recent years, number of malaria cases has been significantly reduced because of fight with the disease in Turkey. This study intended to investigate the malaria epidemiology in Mersin Province from 2002 to 2011 using data from the provincial Public Health Directorate.Over ten years, 303573 blood samples were taken from the people by active and passive surveillance methods and blood smears were prepared. Smears were stained with Giemsa and examined under the microscope.Totally, 73 people including 44 male and 29 female were positive in terms of Plasmodium spp. It was determined that P. vivax observed in 67 cases while P. falciparum in 6 cases. Cases were mainly observed in 15 to 44 years old range, showed an increase between June-September periods and a significant decrease after 2006. Out of the 73 malaria cases, 54 cases were from Mersin Province and 13 cases were imported from another province of Turkey. Six cases were transmitted from abroad.These results provide information about malaria epidemiology in an endemic area in Turkey and contribute its prevention in Mersin Province.

Objective: Cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) remain a significant global public health concern and a leading cause of mortality. This study aims to assess the current trends in cerebrovascular disease-related mortality in Turkey, with a particular focus on disparities in age and gender. To achieve this, we will utilize mortality data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK). Methods: Mortality data for ischemic heart disease from 2013 to 2022 were obtained from the TUIK mortality database. Analytical methods involved the use of Joinpoint analysis to calculate both the annual percentage change (APC) and the average annual percentage change (AAPC). This allowed for the identification of significant alterations in trends over the study period. Additionally, we conducted a detailed examination of sex-specific variations, and age-standardized rates (ASRs) were computed. Results: In 2013, the total CVD death rate was 25.2%, with male and female death rates of 22.9% and 27.5%, respectively. This year marked the highest recorded stroke death rate within the provided timeframe. By 2022, these rates had consistently decreased. The total stroke death rate was 19.2%, with males at 18.7% and females at 19.7%. The analysis indicated a decreasing trend in CVD mortality in Turkey from 2013 to 2022. However, this decrease was not statistically significant (APC=1.9, 95% CI: -0.8; 4.3, p=0.123). The decline was more pronounced in females (APC=2.4, 95% CI: -0.7; 4.9, p=0.121) compared to males (APC=1.2, 95% CI: -1.3; 3.8, p=0.2351). Comparatively, the latest available data underscore significant disparities in cerebrovascular disease mortality across European regions. Western Europe had the lowest percentage of total deaths attributed to stroke, with 5.9% in males and 8.2% in females. In contrast, Eastern Europe recorded the highest percentages, with 11.6% in males and 17.5% in females. These disparities were reflected in Age-Standardized Mortality Rates (ASMRs), with Western Europe having the lowest ASMRs for stroke and Eastern Europe having the highest. Conclusion: While there have been global reductions in CVD mortality, Turkey has mirrored these declining trends, albeit at a lower rate than many European countries. The presented results emphasize the need for continual research and improved interventions targeting the observed inequalities in cerebrovascular disease mortality outcomes in Turkey. The regional and sex disparities highlighted necessitate targeted health policies and resource allocation to effectively mitigate cerebrovascular disease-related mortalities.

Nearly 10% of the population of Turkey lives in the Southeast Anatolian Project (SEAP) region. The population growth rate and the rate of unintended pregnancies are high and family planning services are insufficient in this region. Lifetime induced abortion rate is also high in this region. Public health problems of the SEAP region were investigated in the "SEAP Public Health Project" in 2001 and 2002. As it is one of the most important health problems of the women living in this region; induced abortion was also investigated in this project. An optimumsample size representing the rural and urban area of the region (n = 1150) was chosen by the State Institute of Statistics by a sampling method proportional to size. 1126 of the area's 1150 houses have been visited and data about induced abortions have been obtained by applying a questionnaire to 1491 ever married women who live in the region. It has been found that 9.0% of these women who had at least one pregnancy in their life had at least one induced abortion. The lifetime induced abortion per 100 pregnancies was found to be 2.45. The primary reason given for induced abortions was "wanting no more children" (64.6%). Lifetime induced abortions were 5.3 times greater with women using a family planning method than women not using family planning methods. Lifetime induced abortions were 4.1 times greater with unemployed women than working women. Most of the women have used private doctors in order to have an induced abortion. Although 32.29% have not yet begun to use a contraceptive method after their last induced abortion, 43.75% of the women have since started to use an effective contraceptive method. 23.96% of them have begun to use an ineffective contraceptive method. Induced abortion is still an important problem at the SEAP region. The results of the study remind us that unemployed women and women who have more than four children is our target group in the campaign against induced abortions. Most of the women use private doctors in order to have an induced abortion. Thus, priority must be given to educate private gynecologists with respect to induced abortion. After induced abortions, a qualified family planning consultant can be given to women and they can be secured to use a suitable contraceptive method.

Objective: To investigate the effects of sexual education provided via WhatsApp on the level of sexual knowledge and sexual myths in midwifery students in Turkey. Methods: Students were randomly divided into WhatsApp education, conventional education, and control groups. Data were collected using a Questionnaire Form, the Sexual Health Knowledge Test, and the Sexual Myth Scale. Results: Post-education and one-month-follow-up the Sexual Health Knowledge Test medians in the control group (24.0 and 27.0 respectively) were significantly lower than those of the WhatsApp (31.0 and 32.5 respectively) and conventional education groups (30.5 and 32.0 respectively) and Sexual Myth Scale medians in the control group (70.0 and 67.0 respectively) were significantly higher than those of the WhatsApp (55.5 and 60.0) and conventional education groups (53.0 and 55.0, respectively) (p < .001). There was no difference between WhatsApp and conventional education groups in terms of the Sexual Health Knowledge Test and Sexual Myth Scale scores (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Sexual education provided by conventional methods and via WhatsApp increased sexual health knowledge and decreased sexual myths.

In this article, the authors discuss electric shock fatalities in Aydın province and compare these findings with the findings of other studies conducted in Turkey and worldwide. Data were gathered from 2001-2013 autopsy reports retrospectively. A total of 34 cases were reviewed in terms of age and gender, scene and time of event, number of lesions and their locations, organ injuries, origin of electricity, and degree of burns. In all cases, electrical death was accidental. Electrical shock fatalities were most common in the 30 to 39 age group. Fourteen cases (41.2%) involved workers: 7 cases (2.6%) were agricultural workers, 4 cases (11.8%) were housewives, 2 (5.9%) were electrical workers, and 7 (20.6%) were unemployed or in other occupations. The authors are addressing this public health problem to minimize the number of electrical deaths.

Data on immunization are generally based on questionnaire methods or evaluation of health records in most of the developing countries like Turkey. Therefore, serological studies are useful to appraise the impact of vaccination programmes and to improve immunization policies. This serological study was undertaken to determine the immunity status of children to poliovirus in Eastern Turkey.A cross-sectional and community-based field study was done with the sampling method of 30 clusters recommended for field studies. A total of 204 children aged 2-71 months were included. Complement fixation test was used to measure antibody titres to poliovirus serotypes. Subjects with serum antibody titres as 1:10 and lower were accepted as seronegative. A semi-structured questionnaire and official records of health care units were used to gather information about status of vaccination.Of the 204 children included, 54.4 per cent were boys and mean age was 31.5 +/- 19.8 months; 26.5 per cent of the children were seronegative. According to official records 64.7 per cent of subjects were full vaccinated. Sensitivity and specificity of official health records were 83.6 and 67.3 per cent in relation to immunity status of children, respectively. Regarding number of OPV doses given to children, the sensitivity and specificity of parents recall in relation to official records were 98.0 and 17.4 per cent, respectively.Approximately, one of four children was determined to be seronegative. This high seronegativity brings risk to control of polio in Eastern Turkey which is at the post-elimination era since 1998. Additionally, parents recall did not provide reliable information to predict the immunity status and number of OPV doses given to children.

Background: Once limited with face-to face courses, health education has now moved into the web environment after new developments in information technology This study was carried out in order to give training to the university academic and administrative female staff who have difficulty in attending health education planned for specific times and places. The web-supported training focuses on healthy diet, the importance of physical activity, damage of smoking and stress management. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in Sakarya University between the years 2012-2013 as a descriptive and quasi experimental study. The sample consisted of 30 participants who agreed to take part in the survey, filled in the forms and completed the whole training. The data were collected via a "Personel Information Form", "Health Promotion Life-Style Profile (HPLSP)", and "Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ). Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the total points from "Health Promotion Life-Style Profile" and the total points from the sub-scale after and before the training (t=3.63, p=0.001). When the points from the multiple choice questionnaire after and before training were compared, it was seen that the average points were higher after the training (t=8.57, p<0.001). Conclusions: It was found that web-supported health training has a positive effect on the healthy living behaviour of female staff working at a Turkish university and on their knowledge of health promotion.

Reproductive health care, including contraception, is a fundamental aspect of any public health care system and it is important to reduce barriers to access to all forms of contraception, including emergency contraception. In recent years, the rhetoric of pronatalism in Turkey has come to dominate and raises questions about the availability of reproductive health care services, in particular contraception, from state run facilities. This study aimed to determine the availability of dedicated emergency contraception (EC) from government run Family Health Centers (FHCs) in Turkey. In 2019, a team of trained researchers called a random sample of 583 FHCs located in the largest cities in twelve regions across Turkey asking for dedicated EC. Dedicated EC is largely unavailable from government supported FHCs. Only 6.1% stated that they provided EC while 53.8% stated that it was not available and that they could provide no alternative. A further 28.3% declared that they could provide an alternative to dedicated EC that almost always consisted of oral contraceptives. We found statistically significant variations in response rate and availability among cities as well as the rate of referral to pharmacies. There is little access to EC from government sponsored health clinics designated to provide family planning services, which hinders access to an essential reproductive health care service that should be available to women everywhere.

Health care systems in many countries are changing for a variety of reasons. Monitoring of community-based services, especially vaccination coverage, is important during transition periods to ensure program effectiveness. In 2005, Turkey began a transformation from a “socialization of health services” system to a “family medicine” system. The family medicine system was implemented in the city of Gaziantep, in December, 2010. Two descriptive, cross-sectional studies were conducted in Gaziantep city center; the first study was before the transition to the family medicine system and the second study was one year after the transition. The Lot Quality Technique methodology was used to determine the quality of vaccination services. The population studied was children aged 12–23 months. Data from the two studies were compared in terms of vaccination coverage and lot service quality to determine whether there were any changes in these parameters after the transition to a family service system. A total of 93.7% of children in Gaziantep were fully vaccinated before the transition. Vaccination rates decreased significantly to 84.0% (p <0.005) after the family medicine system was implemented. The number of unacceptable vaccine lots increased from 5 lots before the transition to 21 lots after the establishment of the family medicine system. The number of first doses of vaccine given was higher after family medicine was implemented; however, the numbers of second, third, and booster doses, and the number of children fully vaccinated were lower than before transition. Acceptable and unacceptable lots were not the same before and after the transition. Different health care personnel were employed at the lots after family medicine was implemented. This result suggests that individual characteristics of the health care personnel working in a geographic area are as important as the socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of the community.

Pellagra is a comparatively modern disease. The first account of it dates from 1735 when under the name mal de la rosa it was very fully described by Gaspar Casal who at that time practised at Oviedo and found it endemic among the Asturian peasantry. In Lombardy it was recognised about 1730 and only much later (1771) was systematically described by Frapolli as pellagra (rough skin), but Strambio, who was physician to a special hospital for pellagrins at Legnano, states (1784) that many of his patients told him that their fathers and grandfathers had suffered from the disease. Early in the nineteenth century it was comparatively common in Gascony and about 1836 it was beginning to be recognised in Roumania. In the United States sporadic cases seem to have been noticed in 1864, and since 1907 it has increased to an extent which has seriously disquieted the public health authorities. In Egypt, Turkey, Mexico, the Balkans, Brazil, the West Indies and other countries it is common and well known. Wherever it has appeared endemically it has followed on the introduction of maize as a field-crop and its adoption (by the rural population especially) as a chief and staple article of diet.

Abstract Introduction Drowning is an under-recognised public health threat and a leading cause of injury-related mortality and morbidity. However, in many countries, including Turkey, limited data impair understanding of drowning burden and Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study drowning estimates (defined using International Classification of Diseases [ICD] codes W65–74) do not include flood-related deaths (X38) and water transportation related drownings (V90, V92). A lack of accessible and reliable country-level data impacts a country’s ability to develop appropriate drowning prevention interventions and measure efficacy. This retrospective population-based study aimed to explore differences between two datasets in fatal drowning in Turkey between 2013 and 2019. Methods National, all-age data on fatal drownings (restrictive definition: ICD-10 codes W65–74) were sourced from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) and the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. In addition, a broader definition of drowning including water transport, flood-related deaths and drowning due to undetermined intent (ICD-10 codes W65–74, V90, V92, X38, Y21, T751) were sourced from TurkStat. Numeric and percentage differences in number of drowning deaths were calculated overall and by sex, age group and death year. Chi square ( p &lt; 0.05) and relative risk (95% confidence intervals) using crude drowning rates per 100,000 population were also calculated for TurkStat data. Results From 2013 to 2019, TurkStat reported a total of 5004 drowning deaths (coded W65–74) were reported, compared to 5252 (5% difference; n = 248) using the broader definition. A restrictive definition underreported drowning most significantly in females (9.5%; n = 97), 5–9 year-olds (8.9%; n = 31) and in the 2015 calendar year (30.2%; n = 226). Males accounted for 78.8% of drowning in Turkey, with females significantly ( p &lt; 0.001) more at risk under 10 years of age (0–4 years X 2 = 67.9; 5–9 years X 2 = 23.9) and aged 65+ years (X 2 = 29.7). GBD data overestimated a restrictive definition of drowning by 3.2% overall (7.6% for females, 52.5% for 0–4 year-olds) and underreported drowning for 65+ year-olds by 17% when compared to TurkStat restrictive definition of drowning. Conclusions Although a restrictive definition of drowning doesn’t greatly impact estimates at a population level in Turkey, there are variations. This highlights the importance of accurate country-level drowning data to guide decision making for prevention.

Health literacy is constantly changing, always developing, on the move. The dynamism in health literacy provides an accessible and understand­able bridge between providers of health and the public to communicate all health-related information quickly and accurately. Collaboration among health professionals provides effective ways to address health literacy. Collaborative approaches based on the training and skills of various professionals ensure suc­cessful communication with target groups and the community. Cross-sectoral collaboration on health literacy is encouraged in Turkey. The Ministry of Health wants to improve health literacy in order to increase the responsibility of individ­uals for their own health. In Turkey, there have been twelve collaboration areas in which librarians, clinicians and subject specialists work together. The areas are related to the environment and animal and plant health which are closely related to human health. In this study, projects aimed at improving health literacy and highlighting cooperation among various professionals in Turkey were introduced and collaborative health literacy activities involving libraries and librarians were established. The results and recommendations revealed that concrete plans for health literacy should be implemented. In practice, technology and collabora­tive libraries provide important contributions. Health literacy activities involving libraries and librarians have global implications for improving health literacy skills worldwide.

To evaluate the association between adverse childhood experiences - e.g. abuse, neglect, domestic violence and parental separation, substance use, mental illness or incarceration - and the health of young adults in eight eastern European countries.Between 2010 and 2013, adverse childhood experience surveys were undertaken in Albania, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Romania, the Russian Federation, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Turkey. There were 10,696 respondents - 59.7% female - aged 18-25 years. Multivariate modelling was used to investigate the relationships between adverse childhood experiences and health-harming behaviours in early adulthood including substance use, physical inactivity and attempted suicide.Over half of the respondents reported at least one adverse childhood experience. Having one adverse childhood experience increased the probability of having other adverse childhood experiences. The number of adverse childhood experiences was positively correlated with subsequent reports of health-harming behaviours. Compared with those who reported no adverse experiences, respondents who reported at least four adverse childhood experiences were at significantly increased risk of many health-harming behaviours, with odds ratios varying from 1.68 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.32-2.15) - for physical inactivity - to 48.53 (95% CI: 31.98-76.65) - for attempted suicide. Modelling indicated that prevention of adverse childhood experiences would substantially reduce the occurrence of many health-harming behaviours within the study population.Our results indicate that individuals who do not develop health-harming behaviours are more likely to have experienced safe, nurturing childhoods. Evidence-based programmes to improve parenting and support child development need large-scale deployment in eastern European.Évaluer l'association entre des expériences négatives vécues pendant l'enfance (comme des abus, des négligences, des violences domestiques, la séparation des parents, l'usage de substances illicites, des maladies mentales ou l'incarcération) et la santé des jeunes adultes dans huit pays de l'Europe de l'Est.Entre 2010 et 2013, des enquêtes sur des expériences négatives vécues pendant l'enfance ont été menées en Albanie, en Lettonie, en Lituanie, au Monténégro, en Roumanie, en Fédération de Russie, dans l'ex-République yougoslave de Macédoine et en Turquie.

Une modélisation à variables multiples a été utilisée pour étudier les relations entre des expériences négatives vécues pendant l'enfance et les comportements mettant la santé en danger au début de l'âge adulte, notamment l'usage de substances illicites, l'inactivité physique et les tentatives de suicide.Plus de la moitié des répondants ont déclaré au moins une expérience négative vécue pendant l'enfance. Le fait d'avoir vécu une expérience négative pendant l'enfance augmentait la probabilité de vivre d'autres expériences négatives pendant l'enfance. Le nombre d'expériences négatives vécues pendant l'enfance était positivement corrélé avec les signalements ultérieurs de comportements mettant la santé en danger. Par rapport aux personnes qui n'ont déclaré aucune expérience négative, les répondants qui ont déclaré au moins 4 expériences négatives vécues pendant l'enfance présentaient un risque significativement augmenté de nombreux comportements mettant leur santé en danger, avec des rapports de cotes variant de 1,68 (intervalle de confiance de 95%, IC: 1,32–2,15) pour l'inactivité physique, à 48,53 (IC de 95%: 31,98–76,65) pour les tentatives de suicide. La modélisation a indiqué que la prévention des expériences négatives vécues pendant l'enfance réduirait considérablement l'occurrence de nombreux comportements mettant la santé en danger au sein de la population étudiée.Nos résultats indiquent que les individus qui ne développent pas de comportements mettant leur santé en danger sont plus susceptibles d'avoir été protégés et éduqués pendant leur enfance. Les programmes fondés sur les faits visant à améliorer l'éducation des enfants et à soutenir leur développement nécessitent un déploiement à grande échelle en Europe de l'Est.Evaluar la relación entre las experiencias adversas en la infancia, por ejemplo, abusos, abandono, violencia doméstica y separación de los padres, consumo de sustancias, enfermedad mental o encarcelamiento, y la salud de los adultos jóvenes en ocho países orientales de Europa.Entre 2010 y 2013 se llevaron a cabo encuestas sobre experiencias infantiles adversas en Albania, Letonia, Lituania, Montenegro, Rumania, la Federación de Rusia, la antigua República Yugoslava de Macedonia y Turquía. El número de encuestados fue de 10 696 - 59,7 % mujeres - de entre 18 y 25 años. Se empleó un modelo multivariado para examinar las relaciones entre las experiencias infantiles adversas y los comportamientos dañinos para la salud en las primeras etapas de la vida adulta, incluido el consumo de sustancias, la inactividad física y el intento de suicidio.Más de la mitad de los encuestados informó de al menos una experiencia adversa en la infancia. Haber sufrido una experiencia adversa en la infancia aumentó la probabilidad de tener otras experiencias adversas en la infancia. El número de experiencias adversas en la infancia se correlacionó positivamente con los informes posteriores acerca de comportamientos dañinos para la salud. En comparación con aquellos que no comunicaron experiencias adversas, los encuestados que informaron de al menos cuatro experiencias adversas en la infancia presentaban un riesgo significativamente mayor de muchas conductas dañinas para la salud, con un cociente de posibilidades que variaba de 1,68 (intervalo de confianza del 95 %, IC: 1,32–2,15) para la inactividad física a 48,53 (IC del 95 %: 31,98–76,65) para el intento de suicidio. El modelado indicó que la prevención de experiencias adversas en la infancia podría reducir sustancialmente la incidencia de muchos de los comportamientos dañinos para la salud en la población de estudio.Nuestros resultados indican que los individuos que no desarrollan comportamientos dañinos para la salud tienen más probabilidades de haber tenido una infancia segura y educativa. Los programas basados en la evidencia para mejorar la crianza de los hijos y apoyar el desarrollo infantil necesitan un despliegue a gran escala en la región oriental de Europa.تقييم الارتباط بين خبرات الطفولة السيئة – مثل سوء المعاملة أو الإهمال أو العنف المنزلي أو انفصال الأبوين أو تعاطي المخدرات أو الاعتلال النفسي أو الحبس – وصحة صغار البالغين في ثمانية بلدان أوروبية شرقية.أجريت بين عامي 2010 و2013 مسوح حول خبرات الطفولة السيئة في ألبانيا ولاتفيا وليتوانيا والجبل الأسود ورومانيا والاتحاد الروسي وجمهورية مقدونيا اليوغوسلافية السابقة وتركيا. وشارك في المسح 10696 شخصاً – 59.7 % منهم من الإناث – اللاتي تتراوح أعمارهن من 18 إلى 25 سنة. وتم استخدام النمذجة متعددة المتغيرات لتحري الارتباط بين خبرات الطفولة السيئة والسلوكيات الضارة بالصحة في البلوغ المبكر بما في ذلك تعاطي المخدرات والخمول البدني ومحاولة الانتحار.أبلغ ما يزيد عن نصف المشاركين عن خبرة واحدة على الأقل من خبرات الطفولة السيئة. وازدادت مع التعرض لخبرة واحدة من خبرات الطفولة السيئة احتمالية التعرض لخبرات الطفولة السيئة الأخرى. وارتبط عدد خبرات الطفولة السيئة إيجابياً بالتقارير اللاحقة حول السلوكيات الضارة بالصحة. وتزايدت على نحو كبير خطورة اكتساب العديد من السلوكيات الضارة بالصحة لدى المشاركين الذين أبلغوا عن أربع خبرات على الأقل من خبرات الطفولة السيئة مقارنة بالذين لم يبلغوا عن خبرات سيئة، وتراوحت نسب الاحتمال من 1.68 (فاصل الثقة 95 %: 1.32 - 2.15) – فيما يخص الخمول البدني – إلى 48.53 (فاصل الثقة 95 %: 31.98 - 76.65) – فيما يخص محاولة الانتحار. وأشارت النمذجة إلى أن توقي خبرات الطفولة السيئة قد يحد بدرجة كبيرة من وقوع العديد من السلوكيات الضارة بالصحة داخل فئة الدراسة.تشير نتائجنا إلى أنه من الأرجح أن يتمتع الأشخاص الذين لا يكتسبون سلوكيات ضارة بالصحة بطفولة تتميز بالأمان والرعاية. ويتعين نشر البرامج المستندة إلى البيّنات على نطاق واسع في أوروبا الشرقية بغية تحسين إعداد الآباء لرعاية الأبناء ودعم نمو الأطفال.评价八个东欧国家虐待、忽视、家庭暴力和父母分离、吸毒、精神疾病或监禁等儿童期不良经历与年轻人健康之间的联系。在2010年至2013年之间,在阿尔巴尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、黑山共和国、罗马尼亚、俄罗斯联邦、前南斯拉夫马其顿共和国和土耳其展开儿童期不良经历调查。共有10696名18-25岁之间的受访者,其中女性占59.7%。使用多变量模型来研究儿童期不良经历与成年早期危害健康的行为的关系,包括吸毒、缺少运动和自杀企图。超过半数的受访者表示至少有一次儿童期不良经历。有一次儿童期不良经历增加遭受其他儿童期不良经历的概率。儿童期不良经历数量与危害健康行为的后续报告呈正相关。较之没有报告不良经历的受访者,报告至少有四个儿童期不良经历的受访者其许多危害行为的风险显著增加,优势比从缺乏锻炼的1.68(95%置信区间(CI):1.32–2.15)到自杀企图的48.53(95% CI:31.98–76.65)。模型表明,预防儿童期不良经历将会大幅度减少研究人群中许多危害健康行为的发生。我们的结果表明,没有养成危害健康行为的个体更可能是渡过安全、受到关爱的童年。需要在东欧大规模部署以证据为基础的项目,以改善教育和支持孩子发展。Оценить связь негативных впечатлений в детстве — например, плохое обращение, пренебрежение, насилие в семье, расставание родителей, употребление психоактивных веществ, психические заболевания или лишение свободы — со здоровьем молодых людей в восьми восточноевропейских странах.В 2010-2013 гг. в таких странах, как Албания, Латвия, Литва, Черногория, Румыния, Российская Федерация, бывшая югославская Республика Македония и Турция были проведены опросы среди молодежи, посвященные негативным впечатлениям в детстве. В опросах принимали участие 10 696 респондентов, включая 59,7% девушек в возрасте 18–25 лет. Исследование взаимосвязи между негативными впечатлениями в детстве и вредным для здоровья поведением в старшем подростковом возрасте, в том числе употребление психоактивных веществ, отсутствие физической активности и попытки самоубийства, проводилось методом многомерного моделирования.Более половины респондентов сообщили по меньшей мере об одном негативном впечатлении в детстве. Наличие одного негативного впечатления увеличивало вероятность наличия и последующих негативных впечатлений в детстве. Число негативных впечатлений в детстве положительно коррелирует с последующими сообщениями о вредном для здоровья поведении. По сравнению с теми, кто не переживал негативных впечатлений в детстве, у респондентов, указавших по меньшей мере четыре случая негативных впечатлений, имелся значительно больший риск вредного для здоровья поведения с отношением рисков от 1,68 (95%-й доверительный интервал, ДИ: 1,32–2,15) для физической неактивности и до 48,53 (95% ДИ: 31,98–76,65) для попыток самоубийства. Моделирование показало, что предотвращение негативных впечатлений в детстве существенно уменьшает возникновение многих случаев пагубного поведения внутри исследуемой популяции.Результаты показывают, что лица, у которых не развивается вредное для здоровья поведение, скорее всего имели благополучное детство и родительскую заботу. В восточноевропейских странах требуется масштабное развертывание доказательно обоснованных программ по улучшению семейного воспитания и поддержке развития детей.

One hundred and sixty cases of legionnaires' disease were reported to the PHLS Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre in 1995. Twenty cases (13%) were known to have died. Ninety cases (56%) were associated with travel (in the United Kingdom or abroad), four were associated with a stay in hospital, and the remaining 66 were presumed to have acquired infection in the community. One hundred and twenty-three cases (77%) occurred sporadically. Three community outbreaks and one outbreak at an industrial site were detected in England and Wales. One outbreak and five clusters were detected among visitors to Turkey, Spain, and Italy. Seven cases and one outbreak of nonpneumonic legionellosis were also reported. Cases of travel associated legionnaires' disease continue to account for the largest proportion of the total reported in 1995 and the number of hospital acquired cases continues to decline. A cause for concern in 1995 was a fall in the proportion of cases diagnosed by culture of the organism (from 16% in 1994 to only 9% in 1995). This corresponded with a small increase in the proportion of cases diagnosed solely by detection of antigen to L. pneumophila serogroup 1 in urine.

In the 132nd session of the Executive Board of the World Health Organization (WHO), held in January of this year, the phrase “health diplomacy” was mentioned time and time again. Indeed, the Director-General used it in her opening remarks: “Health diplomacy works.”1 In two papers published in this Bulletin in 2007, we underscored the importance of global health diplomacy, particularly the need to build capacity in this domain within WHO and in WHO’s Member States, in line with changes in the global environment.2,3 During the years that have since transpired, it has become amply clear that health diplomacy is not a transient fashion. In fact, the Global Health Programme 2012, launched by The Graduate Institute in Geneva to promote research and knowledge translation and diffusion, represents a turning point in global health diplomacy training. This training takes the form of face-to-face as well as online courses for diplomats, health attaches and staff of international organizations. WHO staff at headquarters, regional offices and country offices take part in the programme, and China, Hungary, Indonesia and Turkey are now co-hosting courses with the Institute or WHO.4 Four elements have contributed to the ascent of global health diplomacy. First, foreign affairs ministries are becoming more involved in health because of its relevance for soft power, security policy, trade agreements and environmental and development policy. Countries need to address trans-border challenges that can undermine global stability, such as pandemics and climate change.5 Health touches on matters of national and economic interest; it embodies the tensions between national sovereignty and global collective action. New skills are needed to negotiate global regimes. Some countries have addressed this by seeking greater coherence “at home” between foreign policy and health policy through national global health strategies that bring together different ministries concerned with domestic and global issues so they can speak with one voice in the global arena.6 Second, the venues of health diplomacy are expanding; many new actors outside WHO have become (health) diplomats.7 “Global health diplomacy” refers to both a system of organization and to communication and negotiation processes that shape the global policy environment in the sphere of health and its determinants. Health is part of summit diplomacy in the United Nations and of club and head-of-state diplomacy involving countries such as the group of eight (G8), the group of twenty (G20) and BRICS (Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa). The European Union (EU) has adopted the European Council’s conclusions on the EU’s role in global health in 2010 and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has recently established a unit for health issues. Global issue diplomacy continues in connection with human immunodeficiency virus infection, children’s health and non-communicable diseases – and it is particularly in this area that nongovernmental organizations, foundations and companies have become health diplomats. The ministries of health now play a dual role: to promote the country’s health and to advance the health of the global community. Third, globalization, new donor–recipient relationships, new types of health alliances and the rise of cooperation between low- and middle-income countries have heightened the need for health diplomacy.8,9 More long-term negotiation processes for both binding and non-binding agreements are taking place. One example is the WHO Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework. Approved by the World Health Assembly in 2010, it is a milestone in global health governance.10 The 2011 United Nations (UN) High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases adopted the Political Declaration on the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases. The Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products was adopted by the parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in 2012. New challenges are in the wings: negotiating ways to implement the recommendations of the Consultative Expert Working Group on Research and Development; finalizing decisions on the WHO reform process; embedding health within a UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and, of course, establishing health goals in the post-2015 development agenda. Fourth, we need competent health diplomats more than ever. Fly-in, fly-out negotiations for health no longer suffice.11 The many health negotiations taking place in different venues involve interactions at many levels of governance and a new interface between domestic and foreign policy. Representatives of countries and other interested actors are continuously engaged in negotiations in hubs such as Geneva, New York, Brussels and Addis Ababa, and health attaches play an important role, but not many countries can dedicate substantial resources to these negotiation processes. At the recent session of WHO’s Executive Board, Member States underlined the importance of good preparation at the national and, increasingly, at the regional level. Global health diplomacy, if well conducted, results in improved global health, greater equity, better relations and trust between states and a strengthened commitment on the part of stakeholders to work together to improve health nationally and globally. We hope that there will be increasing willingness to support countries seeking to strengthen their capacity not only in the governance of health systems, but also in global health diplomacy.
