Internet addiction and associated factors in a special primary school
students
- Authors: Aydın KURT; Binnaz Birci AYKAÇ, Gamze SOYLU, Etem Erdal ERŞAN
  Abstract: Aim: This study is designed to determine the internet addiction (IA) rate and related factors among primary school students.Materials and Methods: 390 students were included in the study. Parent-Child Internet Addiction Scale (PCIAS) was used to asses IA. Scale and information forms were filled in by the parents. SPSS 23.0 was used for statistical analyses.Results: The mean PCIAS score was 14.472±13.557. Problematic internet use rate was 5.1%. PCIAS score was positively correlated with age, male gander and the time spent online outside of homework.Conclusion: Internet use among children and adolescants continues to increase like an avalanche in recent years. To protect children and adolescants, who were at high risk for IA, structured and generelised education programs both for adolescants and parents should be planned.

Metabolic bone diseases in full-term newborns: A review of the literature
with case reports
- Authors: Samet BENLİ; Ayşen ORMAN, Mustafa AYDIN
  Abstract: With the improvement of newborn care, the survival rate of sick newborns has increased significantly in recent years. Rapid advances continue to be made in the field of bone and mineral disorders, with the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, as well as a better understanding of the pathophysiology and genetic basis of diseases. In some situations where initiation of treatment is time-critical and life-saving, prompt diagnosis is vital. In this article, it was aimed to present the approaches to metabolic bone diseases of the newborn in the light of cases. However, metabolic bone disease seen in premature infants (osteopenia of prematurity) was not mentioned in this review as it is a completely different issue.

Serum 25-OH vitamin D3 levels and effects on disease activity in Covid-19
patients: A prospective cross-sectional study
- Authors: Dilay EKEN GEDİK; Gülseren DOST SÜRÜCÜ
  Abstract: Aim: In our study, we aimed to determine the relationship between vitamin D levels and disease severity, prognosis and inflammation markers in Coronavirus Disease-19 (Covid-19).Materials and Methods: Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), D-Dimer, procalcitonin, fibrinogen, ferritin levels and Postero-anterior Chest X-ray and Lung Computerized Tomography images of 100 patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of Covid-19 in our hospital were evaluated.Results: D-Dimer and CRP levels of patients with vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were significantly higher (p<0.05). There was no significant relationship between vitamin D levels and lung involvement rate, need for intensive care, mortality and length hospital stay.Conclusion: Uncertainties regarding the effect of vitamin D levels in Covid-19 remain, and there is a need for multicenter randomized controlled studies that include a larger number of patients, exclude comorbidities, and evaluate vitamin D therapy.

levels of employees at nursing homes and elderly rehabilitation centers
- Authors: Fatma AZİZOĞLU; Osman HAYRAN, Banu TERZİ
  Abstract: Aim: To identify the relationship between workload perception and burnout levels of employees at nursing homes and elderly rehabilitation centers. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at private and public nursing homes and elderly rehabilitation centers in Istanbul. An Information Form that questioned demographic characteristics, the Individual Workload Perception Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to collect data on the employees (n=777) that provided elderly care at these facilities. Results: Averages total scores of the emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment sub-dimensions of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the average total score of the overall scale were calculated as 23.34±7.35, 9.87±4.56, 17.22±5.47, and 50.44±13.77, respectively. Individual workload perception had statistically significant relationships with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment (F=39.273, p=0.001; F=23.894, p=0.001; F=33.971; p=0.001). Conclusion: A significant relationship was observed between the increase in manager support, coworker support, unit support, and the decrease in the total burnout level.

The musculoprotective effects of thymoquinone on ameliorating soleus
muscle damage induced by valproic acid in rats
- Authors: Sebile AZİRAK; Deniz TAŞTEMİR KORKMAZ, Sedat BİLGİÇ, Murat SEVİMLİ, Mehmet Kaya ÖZER
  Abstract: Aim: To determine the potential musculoprotective effects of thymoquinone (TQ) on valproic acid (VPA)-induced muscle damage.Materials and Methods: Twenty-one male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomly separated into 3 groups (n = 7): Control, VPA, VPA + TQ. Oral VPA (500 mg/kg/day) and TQ (50 mg/kg/day) were given to the rats for a period of 14 days. On the 15th day, soleus muscle tissues were taken for evaluating the expression levels of the Alpha-actinin-3 (ACTN3) and Myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) genes and histological analysis. Results: The VPA + TQ group showed significantly higher ACTN3 and lower MYH7 gene expression, and decreased NADPH oxidase-4 (NOX4) and caspase-3 (CAS-3) levels than the VPA group. Also, histopathological changes were decreased in the VPA + TQ group in comparison with the VPA group. Conclusion: VPA-induced soleus muscle damage was alleviated due to the antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects of TQ. TQ may be beneficial in treating soleus muscle damage caused by VPA.

during the pandemic period
- Authors: Ali KAPLAN
  Abstract: Aim: This study is aimed to examine the mental health status, work motivation levels and related factors of nurses who care for COVID-19 patients during the pandemic period.Materials and Methods: This study was planned as a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected at a university hospital between October 2021 and January 2022. Personal Information Form developed by the researchers based on the literature, General Health Questionnaire-28, and Nurse Job Motivation Scale were used to collect the data.Results: More than half of the nurses (56.1%) were in the risk group in terms of mental health. There is a negative significant relationship between the work motivation levels of nurses and their mental health status. In addition, it has been determined that the number of patients affecting the workload of nurses during the pandemic process is related to the mental states and motivations of the nurses.Conclusion: Strategies should be developed to increase nurses’ motivation and to improve their mental health in health institutions that care for COVID-19 cases.
