    Depression and anxiety in relation with hormonal and metabolic profile in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
    (2014) N/A; Çolakoğlu, Saba Sultan; Other; #N/A; #N/A
    Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hyperandrogenic endocrine disorder which is also associated with psychological and metabolic disturbances. The aim of the present study was to determine whether depression and anxiety were more common in women with PCOS and whether were associated with metabolic and hormonal status. Material and Methods: A total of 50 women with PCOS and 50 age-matched controls were eligible for the study. All participants completed standardized questionnaires assessing depression (Beck Depression Inventory) and anxiety (Beck Anxiety Inventory). Hirsutism scores, hormonal and metabolic profile were also evaluated. Results: Depression and anxiety scores were found higher in women with PCOS compared to controls. Both scores were significantly correlated with body mass index, insulin resistance and lipid parameters as well as hirsutism scores. Conclusion: Data of the present study suggested that depression and anxiety scores were higher in women with PCOS compared to controls. Both depression and anxiety in PCOS is associated with obesity, hirsutism and metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hyperandrogenemia. Clinicians treating women with PCOS should be aware that these women are a high risk group for common mood and anxiety disorders. Management should focus on support, education and strongly emphasizing healthy lifestyle changes. / Öz: Amaç: Polikistik over sendromu (PKOS) metabolik ve psikolojik bozuklukların da eşlik ettiği sık görülen bir hiperandrojenik endokrin hastalıktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı PKOS’lu hastalarda depresyon ve anksiyeteyi ölçekler vasıtasıyla değerlendirip, bu ölçeklerin metabolik ve hormonal profil ile ilişkisini incelenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: PKOS tanısı almış 50 hastaya ve 50 sağlıklı gönüllüye Beck depresyon ve Beck anksiyete ölçekleri anket yöntemiyle doldurtuldu. Hasta ve ve kontrol gruplarının fizik muayene bulguları, hirsutizm skorları (modifiye Ferriman Gallwey) not edildi. Hormonal ve metabolik profilleri de değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Depresyon ve anksiyete skorları PKOS grubunda kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek bulundu. Hem depresyon hem de anksiyete skorları vücut kitle indeksi, insülin resistansı, lipid profili ve hirsutizm skorları ile pozitif korelasyon gösterdi. Sonuç: Depresyon ve anksiyete skorları PKOS’lu hastalarda sağlıklı kontrollere göre daha yüksektir. Bu skorlar obezite ve hirsutizm ile ve aynı zamanda dislipidemi, insülin rezistansı ve hiperandrojenizm gibi hormonal ve metabolik bozukluklar ile de ilişkilidir. Klinisyenler, PKOS’lu hastaların anksiyete ve duygu durum bozuklukları için yüksek risk grubunda oldukları konusunda bilinçli olmalıdır. Bu hastaların yönetimi, destek, eğitim ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzı değişikliklerinin özendirilmesi konularına odaklanmalıdır.

    The effect of an interactive robot on children's post-operative anxiety, mobilization, and parents' satisfaction; randomized controlled study
    (W.B. Saunders, 2023) Topçu, Sacide Yıldızeli; Kostak, Melahat Akgün; Güray, Özlem; Sert, Senem; Yavuz, Gözde; N/A; Semerci, Remziye; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 216754
    Purpose: To evaluate the effect of an interactive robot on Turkish children's post-operative anxiety, mobilization, and parents' satisfaction related to post-operative care. Method: A randomized controlled study was conducted with 84 children who will undergo day surgery aged 5–10 years and their parents at a university hospital between June 2020–April 2022. The interactive robot was provided to accompany the children during the postoperative mobilization. Children in the control group received standard care during mobilization. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Children's State Anxiety (CSA), Parental Satisfaction Scale-Visual Analog Scale, and Mobilization Chart. Results: It was determined that the CSA score of the children in the control group were higher than the intervention group before their first mobilization after surgery (p = 0.005). During the first (p = 0.042) and second (p = 0.012) mobilization, it was determined that the mobilization duration of children in the intervention group was longer than the children in the control group. It was found that the parents of the children in the intervention group had a high level of satisfaction. Conclusion: It has been determined that interactive robots positively affect postoperative mobilization in children undergoing day surgery, reduce the anxiety level of children before mobilization, and increase the duration of mobilization. In addition, the use of interactive robots increased parents' satisfaction with post-operative mobilization care. Practice Implications: Using interactive robots to reduce the stress and anxiety of children during the perioperative process can be a promising approach to improve their recovery by providing early mobilization.
