Publication Metadata only Physical therapy enhances functions and quality of life in older patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema: A prospective experimental study(2021-03-01T00:00:00Z) Kostanoglu, A.; TARAKCI, Ela; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİSBackground: Lymphedema of the arm is one of the most common complications following breast cancer surgery. Aims: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of complex decongestive physical therapy (CDPt) on upper extremity functions, activities of daily living (ADL), and quality of life (QoL), and secondly the effects of the degree of lymphedema on post-treatment differences in older patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Subjects and Methods: Sixty-eight patients who had BCRL were included between 2015 and 2017. Arm function was evaluated with the Constant-Murley scale, while ADL was measured with the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, and QoL was measured with the Lymphedema Functioning, Disability and Health Questionnaire as pre- and post-treatment tests. The patients underwent a CDPt program for 6 weeks. Results: There were statistically significant improvements for all outcome measurements in older patients with Grade 1 and 2 lymphedemas after the treatment (P < 0.001). The Grade 1 patients had a greater difference at mobility, participation in the life and social activities, and their total scores of quality of life had a significance level of P < 0.001. Conclusion: Older patients with Grade 1 BCRL had better mobility, participation in the life, and social activities. CDPt provides enhancement of arm functions, ADL, and QoL in older patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema.Publication Metadata only Meme Kanseri ile İlişkili Üst Ekstremite Lenfödemi Olan Hastalarda Lenfödemin Şiddetinin ve Cerrahinin Tipinin Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi(2019-10-01T00:00:00Z) Kostanoğlu, Alis; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİSPublication Open Access Anxiety, Depression and Health Profile in Mothers with Children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit(2020-04-01T00:00:00Z) Cabuk, Burcu; KOSTANOĞLU, Alis; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİSObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate, anxiety, depression and health profile among mothers of patients at pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and pediatric inpatient service (PIS). Methods: The sample consisted of a total of 40 mothers, including mothers with children in a PICU (group I) and PIS (group II). The mothers’ quality of life was measured with the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), anxiety was measured with the State- Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and depression levels were measured with the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck-D) for the all mothers. Results: The mean age of the mothers was 31.5 years for group I and 31.25 years for group II. The mean total NHP score of the mothers was 279.0 for group I and 113.33 for group II. The mean total STAI-S score of mothers was 37.1 for group I and 36.65 for group II. The mean total of STAI-T score of mothers was 46.9 for group I and 47.75 for group II. The mean total Beck-D score was 39.7 for group I and 18.5 for group II. There was a statistically significant differences in the levels of anxiety, depression and health profile between the mothers with children in the PICU and those with children in the PIS (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that having a critically ill child at a PICU unit has negative 17 effect on mothers' depression levels, state anxiety levels and health profile.Publication Metadata only Hastanede ve Evde Bakımda Çalışan Sağlık Profesyonellerinin Nonspesifik Bel Ağrılarının İncelenmesi(2020-02-01T00:00:00Z) KOSTANOĞLU, Alis; GÖZAYDINOĞLU, ŞÜHEDA; Mertekci Karagül, Tuba; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİS; ÖZKAN, ŞÜHEDAPublication Metadata only Bilgisayar ile Çalışanlarda Boyun ve Sırt Ağrısı Değerlendirme Sonuçları(2018-01-01T00:00:00Z) Tekeoğlu, Anıl; YELDAN, İPEK; KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; AKBABA, YILDIZ; TARAKCI, DEVRİM; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİS; ZENGİN ALPÖZGEN, AYŞE; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİSPublication Metadata only Anxiety, Depression Stress and Health Profile in Mothers with Children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit(2019-10-01T00:00:00Z) Çabuk, Burcu; Kostanoğlu, Alis; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİSPublication Metadata only Results of home-based modified combined decongestive therapy in patients with lower extremity lymphedema(2019-04-01) KOSTANOĞLU, ALİS; RAMOĞLU, MELTEM; GÜNEREN, ETHEM; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİS; KAYA, MELTEM; GÜNEREN, ETHEMBackground/aim: The aim of this study is to present the results of modified combined decongestive therapy (CDT) in patients with lower extremity lymphedema (LEL).Publication Metadata only The Effect of Lower Limb Lymphedema on Postural Stabilization(2019-01-01) Kostanoğlu, Alis; Kaya, Meltem; Uçgun, Hikmet; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİS; KAYA, MELTEM; UÇGUN, HİKMETABSTRACTObjectives:Lymphedema is a chronic and serious condition thatcauses asymmetric weight dispersion between extremities. Patientscommonly report symptoms such as decreased mobility of thelimb, pain, tissue fibrosis and associated skin changes due to theswelling. These symptoms may involve postural disorders thataffect the whole body. The aim of this study was to investigatewhether there is a change in overall postural stability and limits ofstability in patients with unilateral lower limb lymphedema.Methods:Fifteen (10 female, 5 male) patients (43.2±13.08 years)diagnosed with lower limb lymphedema were included in thestudy. The mean volume difference between the two extremitieswas 548±492 ml. Lymphedema severity was evaluated andclassified as mild, moderate and severe for 2, 7 and 6 patientsrespectively. Fifteen healthy people with similar ages (43.33±8.29)were recruited for the control group. All the participants wereassessed by using the Biodex Balance System. Postural stability,which is the ability of the patient to maintain a static posturalbalance, and limit of stability, which is the ability of directionalcontrol of the body by displacing the center of gravity, wereassessed. All evaluations were carried out on a firm and stableplatform with open eyes. The data were analyzed with the SPSS21.0 program. Mann-Whitney U Test was used for intergroupcomparisons.Results:There was no significant difference between the patientsand the control group in overall, anterior-posterior andmediolateral postural stability indexes (p<0.05). However, thelymphedema group had worse overall, forward and backwardlimits of stability scores in comparison to the control group(42.33±12.5 vs 60.29±14.1; 50.73±18.6 vs 73.93±16.08;49.60±22.8 vs 67.79±21.2 respectively) (p<0.05).Conclusion:These results lead us to think that asymmetric fluiddistribution in the lower body parts deteriorate directional control in patients with unilateral lymphedema in comparison to thehealthy group. Further studies are needed to confirm the changesof postural stability and limits of stability in these patients.Abbreviations: BW = body weight, CoG = center of gravity, LLL = lower limb lymphedema, LoS = limits of stability, PoS = postural stabilityKeywords:Unilateral Lower Limb Lymphedema, Biodex BalanceSystem, Postural StabilityPublication Metadata only Postmenopozal Dönemde Olan ve Olmayan Kadınların Yorgunluk Düzeyi ve Sağlık Profili(2019-10-01T00:00:00Z) Külekci, Meltem; Kostanoğlu, Alis; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİSPublication Metadata only The Effect of Physical Activity Level and Sleep Quality on Quality of Life in Pregnant Women(2019-09-01) MANZAK, AYŞE SENA; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİS; Sahin, Aysegul; KOSTANOĞLU, ALİS; MANZAK, AYŞE SENAObjective: Pregnancy is a period in which the level of physical activity is generally low. Physiological, psychological, physical and emotional changes in pregnancy negatively affect the sleep quality of pregnant women. It is suggested that inactivity and sleep changes in pregnant women may have effects on the quality of life. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of physical activity level and sleep quality on quality of life in pregnant women.
