Aydemir, Uğur; Yarımkaya, Erkan
This study aimed to examine the effects of parent-child coparticipation in physical activity (PA) on the PA levels and fundamental motor skills (FMSs) of children with autism spectrum disorder. Participants were assigned to one of the following three groups: (a) a parent-child group (n = 14), (b) a child group (n = 13), and (c) a control group (n = 13). After 8 weeks of intervention, the within-group comparison revealed a significant increase in PA levels and FMSs in children with autism spectrum disorder in the parent-child group and the child group (p < .001). The between-group comparison further showed that children in the parent-child group had statistically higher scores for PA levels and FMSs than children in the child and control groups (p < .001). These findings suggest that parent-child coparticipation in PA may be a promising component of family-based interventions to promote PA and facilitate the acquisition of FMSs among children with autism spectrum disorder.

Background: Depression and the utilization of psychiatric services (PSU) are complex mental health outcomes shaped by a wide range of individual, familial, and socioeconomic factors. However, within the context of Türkiye, limited attention has been devoted to the simultaneous modeling of these outcomes and to the systematic examination of their shared household-level determinants. Methods: This study conducts a concurrent analysis of two binary outcomes—self-reported depression and receipt of professional psychiatric care within the past 12 months—using data from a nationally representative household survey. The analytical sample comprises 22,742 individuals nested within 10,028 households across Türkiye. A Bayesian multilevel bivariate logistic regression model was employed to account explicitly for the hierarchical structure of the data, with individuals nested within households. Household-level random intercepts were specified for both outcomes, and the correlation between the latent processes underlying depression and PSU was directly estimated. Weakly informative priors were adopted, and model estimation was performed using the No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS), an efficient variant of the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm. Results: The results reveal pronounced clustering of both depression and PSU at the household level. A strong positive correlation between household-level random effects indicates that individuals experiencing depression are substantially more likely to utilize psychiatric services within the same family context. At the individual level, men are significantly less likely than women to report depressive symptoms or to seek psychiatric care. Tobacco and alcohol use are positively associated with depression risk, whereas adequate rest and healthier lifestyle behaviors exhibit protective effects. Increases in body mass index (BMI) are associated with a higher likelihood of depression. In contrast, active employment and higher household income are linked to reduced depression risk. Additionally, a range of sociodemographic and economic characteristics exert significant effects on both depression and PSU. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that depression and psychiatric service utilization (PSU) are shaped not only by individual-level characteristics but also by shared familial and structural factors. The results underscore the need for mental health policies that move beyond narrowly individual-centered frameworks and instead adopt holistic strategies that incorporate household dynamics and broader socioeconomic conditions.
- Yüksek Lisans TeziAçık Erişim2022Çocuklar arasında yaygınlaşan argo-küfür kullanımının azaltılmasında ailenin ve okullarda verilen değerler eğitiminin rolü
Züleyha Yıldız
Argo-küfür toplum tarafından hoş karşılanmayan, çoğunlukla insanları aşağılama amacı güden ifadeler olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte; çocuktan büyüğe, gençten yaşlıya hemen her kesimde bu kelimelerin kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Günlük iletişimin vazgeçilmezi haline gelen bu kelimeler; özellikle çocuklar arasında da yaygınlaşarak günden güne ciddi problemler ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu araştırmada; çocuklar arasında gün geçtikçe yaygınlaşan argo-küfür kullanımının sebepleri öğretmen ve veli görüşleri çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı; çocukların argo-küfür kullanımının sebeplerini tespit etmek ve bu problemi azaltabilmek için aile ve okullarda verilen değerler eğitimi kapsamında çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemi desenlerinden fenomenolojik desen tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışma grubunu Trabzon ve Rize'nin farklı ilçelerinde resmi eğitim kurumlarında görev yapan 50 öğretmen, Trabzon ve Rize'nin farklı ilçelerinde ikamet eden 25 veli oluşturmaktadır. Veriler; yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları ile elde edilmiş ve betimsel analize tabi tutularak tablolara aktarılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, çocuklar arasında argo-küfür kullanımının; kaygılandırıcı bir davranış olarak kabul edildiğine, teknoloji kullanımının artmasıyla günden güne yaygınlaştığına, günlük iletişim dili olarak kabul edildiğine ve normalleştirildiğine, ailenin denetimi, ilgisi, bilinçli yaklaşımıyla azaltılabileceğine ve okullarda verilecek değerler eğitimi çalışmalarıyla önlenebileceğine işaret etmektedir.

Dastan, Buket; Hintistan, Sevilay
Objective: Diabetes increases problems in emotional areas particularly among the elderly patients by aggravating negative emotions such as loss, anxiety and fear and makes these patients need higher level of family support. This study aims at exploring problematic areas of the elderly diabetic patients and their family support levels. Methods: The data of this descriptive study were collected by the researcher by conducting a face to face interview with 218 elderly diabetic patients who presented to Endocrine Polyclinics of State Hospital between October 2015 and October 2016. To collect the data, Patient Information Form, Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale (PAID) and Hensarling's Diabetes Family Support Scale (HDFSS) were used. Results: Although problem areas among the patients were found to be fewer than expected; it was found that there were significant differences between problem areas and sex, diabetes time, treatment type, length of oral antidiabetic medicine use and insulin use, development of diabetes-related complication and hospitalization due to these complications in the recent year (p<0.05). Besides, the family support levels of the elderly patients were below the moderate level, and the number of individuals the patients live together with, the number of people receiving support due to diabetes and the number of people who received support from their spouses because of diabetes was a significant variable that affected HDFSS total score and the subscale scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: For a better diabetes management, sex and diabetes related variables should be taken into consideration while delivering health services and increasing family support levels can make positive contributions to the mood of the elderly patients.

Sengün, Mustafa
This study tries to analyze the attitudes of parents which may affect moral maturity levels of high school students. The study is based on field research. Field research was carried out on the 830 high school sudents selected randomly from some high schools took place in Samsun. Data of the study were collected by Moral Maturity Scale and Individual Acknowledgement Questionnaire developed by the researcher. Statistical analyses of data were done with variance analysis, t-test and Scheffe tests. Lastly, it was found that the attitudes of parents were the prominent factors affecting the moral maturity levels of high school students.
