    Background: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between healthy lifestyles behaviours and health‑related quality of life (HRQOL) among Turkish school‑going adolescents. Subjects and Methods: This cross‑sectional study was conducted among 413 students studying in a secondary school of Istanbul, Turkey. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing socio‑demographic characteristics, health promoting lifestyle behaviors and the Turkish generic health‑related quality of life questionnaire for children (Kid‑KINDL). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t‑test, Pearson’s product‑moment correlation, and a hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: Univariate statistics showed that gender, school grade, parental education level, monthly income, and all healthy lifestyles behaviours except for fruit and vegetable intake were associated with adolescents’ HRQOL. Multivariate statistics indicated that participation in social activities and talking about their problems were the most important predictors of better HRQOL. Healthy lifestyles behaviours, especially talking about their problems to close friends and/or family members and participation in leisure‑time social activity were related to better HRQOL of Turkish adolescents, independently of socio‑demographic factors. Conclusion: Collaborative efforts among providers of school health and counseling services are urgently needed to improve all aspects of adolescent health.

    Predictors of Caregiver Burden in Caregivers of Bedridden Patients.
    (2019-06-01) Bekdemir, A; Ilhan, NESRİN; İLHAN, NESRİN
    Background: Caregivers are at risk of experiencing caregiver burden. It is therefore important to determine the caregiver burden of caregivers who provide care to bedridden patients and related factors. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the caregiver burden of caregivers who provide care to bedridden patients and the factors that impact this burden. Methods: This cross-sectional study was executed at a state hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, on bedridden patients registered in the home healthcare unit and their caregivers. During study period, the researchers made 312 visits to patients and their caregivers. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Burden Interview, and the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, an independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The participants reported a moderate level of caregiver burden. Existing caregiver health problems, caregiver employment status, the ability of the caregiver to maintain his or her own good health, type of home, and the degree of patient dependence in terms of activities of daily living were each found to be significant predictors of caregiver burden. Conclusions/Implications of Practice: The support provided to caregivers by home healthcare units is important in terms of protecting the physical, mental, and social health conditions of caregivers and preventing the exacerbation of caregiver burden

    The relationship between mental health and basic need fulfillment of university students
    (2019-12-01) İlhan, Nesrin; İLHAN, NESRİN
    Objectives: This study was carried out in order to determine the mental health status and the level of basic need fulfillment in university students and the relationship between these two parameters in terms of certain sociodemographic variables. Methods: Designed as a cross sectional study, this research study was conducted with 609 students studying at a foundation university in Istanbul. The data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the University Students Basic Needs Scale and the General Health Questionnaire(GHQ-12). Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression were used for the data analysis. Results: The mean age of the students was 21.65±2.15, and 63.1% were female. The students’ mean GHQ-12 score was 1.77±2.48, with the results from this scale showing that 38.9% of the students had psychological symptoms. Students who had a GHQ-12 score of less than 2 had higher scores on the subscales of survival, power, fun, love and belonging need and freedom than those of students whose GHQ-12 score was greater than 2. The results of the regression analysis revealed that the fulfillment of freedom, survival, fun, power needs, as well as economic status and smoking significantly affected the mental health of the university students. Conclusion: The study found that students whose basic needs are fulfilled have better mental health. Keywords: Basic needs; general health questionnaire; mental health; university students.
