Öğe Children who work in the street in Izmir, Turkey(2011) Yilmaz H.B.; Dülgerler S.Using Izmir, Turkey as a case study the risk factors leading children to work in the streets were identified. Participants in the study were 226 children working in the streets, average age 10.35±2.21 who worked 6.8±2.11 hours per day. The great majority of the children were boys (90.2%), 77.9% were of primary school age; two-thirds of the children were working to provide an economic contribution to the family; 86.6% were from a large family; 78.8% were from a family that migrated to a big city. Almost all did not find working in the street safe; and nearly half were not hopeful about the future. It was established that frequent problems in the children's families include poverty, unemployment, poor education, having a large family, poor family functioning, migration, limited possibilities of shelter, and domestic violence, including the beating of wives and children. Although nearly all the children still lived with their families, a small percentage of the children (5.8%) had begun living permanently on the streets and then cut ties with their families. A significant relationship was found between living on the streets and the age of the child, the father's education, and the father's use of alcohol. © Society for Personality Research (Inc.).Öğe Nutritional status and calcium levels in serum and urine of primary hypertensives and normotensives(2008) Kayakirilmaz K.; Bayol E.; Yilmaz H.B.; Özgün H.K.; Özbek T.; Topuz D.; Battaloglu R.This research has been designed for the determination of the nutritional status, serum and urinary calcium (UCa) levels and correlation between UCa and blood pressure (BP). 31 Volunteers' patients with essential hypertension (HT) and 31 age- and gender-matched normotensive (NT) control subjects living in Ankara and Nigde from Turkey have participated in this study. 62 Subjects' 24 h urinary samples were collected. Besides, for determination of the correlation between 24 h UCa and over-night UCa (12 h UCa), 38 urine samples (9 patients and 29 control subjects) were collected. Nutritional status was evaluated according to their food consumption and physical examination. After analyzing the collected blood and urinary samples, the mineral status was also evaluated. Urinary and serum Ca levels were determined by flame atomic adsorption spectroscopy. The mean 24 h urinary Ca excretion rates (24 h UCaV) in hypertensive and normotensive subjects were 101 ± 69 and 128 ± 85 mg/day, respectively (n = 62, t = 1.378, p > 0.05). The mean serum Ca levels in HT was significantly decreased when compared with the controls (n = 26, t = 2.54, p < 0.05). In NT subjects systolic blood pressure (SBP) correlated positively, with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (r = 0.588) and UCaV (r = 0.516) and negatively with dietary Ca (r = -0.617, for all p < 0.05). In NT group DBP correlated positively with body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.05). In HT subjects, SBP correlated positively with DBP (r = 0.741) and negatively with serum Ca (r = -0.633), DBP also correlated negatively with serum Ca (r = 0.727). Among the 38 subjects, overnight calcium excretion rate (12 h UCaV) was correlated with the 24 h UCaV (y = 0.8279x + 42.735, r = 0.81, R2 = 0.653, p < 0.05).Öğe Quality of life concept in pediatric oncology patients [Pediatrik onkoloji hastalarinda yaşam kalitesi kavrami](2008) Taş F.; Yilmaz H.B.Today, medical researches on the quality of life are conducted in order to assess the efficiency of medical initiatives and their side effects in order to improve the quality of life of patients before and after the treatment processes, and thus they target reorienting health policies. It is considered that determining the psychosocial susceptibilities of the patients as well as their biological susceptibilities, and planning and conducting the needed initiatives accordingly will be positively instrumental for the progress of the treatment by improving the quality of life of both children and their families.
