    Empathic Tendencies and Attitudes Toward People with Disabilities in Healthy Developing Children and Their Relationship Between Empathic Tendencies of Parents
    (2022-10-01) Sap R.; Özkan Ş.; Uğurlu Ü.; ÖZKAN, ŞÜHEDA; UĞURLU, ÜMIT
    Objective: This study was conducted to investigate empathic tendencies and attitudes toward people with disabilities in healthy developing children and the relationship between their parents’ empathic tendencies. Methods: Fifty-fourth grade primary school students and their parents were included in this study. KA-SI Empathic Tendency Scale-Child Form (KA-SI), Chedoke-Mcmaster Attitudes Towards Children with Handicaps Scale and Empathetic Tendency Scale (ETS) for parents were used. Results: When the total scores were considered, there was a moderate correlation between children's empathic tendencies and attitudes towards the disabled (r=0.594; p<0.0001). Any correlation was not observed among the empathic tendencies of parents and children’s empathic tendencies and attitudes towards the disabled (r=0.263 and r=0.270; p>0.05, respectively). Parents with a college degree had a higher level of empathy in their children (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, which examined the empathic tendencies of normally developed children and their attitudes towards the disabled and their relationship with the empathic tendencies of their parents, it was concluded that the increase in empathic tendencies of children supported their attitudes towards the disabled in a moderately positive way. The relationship between the level of education of parents and the increase in empathic tendencies of children may indicate the importance of education in this regard. Ensuring the development of children in terms of empathy and positive attitudes and improving the education levels of parents can support the participation of people with disabilities into life by supporting positive attitudes towards them.

    Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the physical and emotional effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients. Patients and methods: The cross-sectional controlled study was performed with 1,360 participants (332 males, 1,028 females; mean age: 42.3±12.5 years; range, 18 to 65 years) between September 2020 and February 2021. The participants were evaluated in three groups: the FMS group (n=465), the CLBP group (n=455), and the healthy control group (n=440). Physical activity, pain levels, and general health status before and during the pandemic were evaluated in all participants. Stress levels were analyzed with the perceived stress scale (PSS) in all groups, and disease activity was analyzed with the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) in patients with FMS. Results: Patients with FMS had worsened general health status and pain levels during the pandemic compared to the other groups (p< 0.01). The FMS group showed significantly higher PSS scores than those in other groups (p< 01). There was a weak-positive correlation between FIQ and PSS parameters in patients with FMS (p< 0.05, r=0.385). Conclusion: The general health status, pain, and stress levels of the patients with FMS and CLBP tended to worsen during the pandemic. This high-stress level appeared to affect disease activity in patients with FMS.

    Identification of Drug-Related Problems and Investigation of Related Factors in Patients with COVID-19: An Observational Study
    (2022-12-01) Bektay M. Y.; Sancar M.; Okyaltırık F.; Durdu B.; İzzettin F. V.; BEKTAY, MUHAMMED YUNUS; OKYALTIRIK, FATMANUR; DURDU, BÜLENT; İZZETTİN, FIKRET VEHBI
    Objective: Clinical prognosis of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) may be severe and unexpected. Patients may quickly progress to respiratory failure, infections, multiple organ dysfunction, and sepsis. The main objective of this study is to investigate the drug-related problems of patients with COVID-19 and related factors. Method: A prospective observational study was conducted on patients with COVID-19 between September 2020 and May 2021. Patients’ demographics, comorbid diseases, prescribed medicines and laboratory findings were recorded. Drug-related problems (DRPs) were identified by a clinical pharmacist according to recent guidelines, UpToDate® clinical decision support system and evidence-based medicine. Results: The median age of 107 patients was 64 and 50.46% of them were male. The median number of comorbidities was 3 (2-4) per patient. The majority of the patients had at least one comorbidity (88.79%) other than COVID-19 and the most frequent comorbidities were hypertension, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. The total number of DRPs was recorded as 201 and at least one DRP was seen in 75 out of 107 patients. The median number of DRPs was 2 (0-8). In multivariate model, number of comorbidities (odss ratio (OR)=1.952; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.07-3.54, p<0.05, number of medications (OR=1.344; 95% CI=1.12-1.61, p<0.001), and serum potassium levels (OR=5.252; 95% CI=1.57-17.56, p<0.001) were the factors related with DRP. Conclusion: This study highlights the DRPs and related factors in patients with COVID 19 in hospital settings. Considering unknown features of the infection and multiple medication use, DRPs are likely to occur. It would be beneficial to consider the related factors in order to reduce the number of the DRPs.
