  Eyi, Semra; Can, Aylin; Pehlivan, Melike

  Objective: Aim of this study was to investigate university students' knowledge, behaviour and awareness of breast self-examination and health beliefs about early detection of breast cancer. Method: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 610 university students. Data were collected between November 2022 and April 2023 using “Personal Information Form” and “Champion Breast Cancer Health Belief Model Scale”. Results: Students had knowledge about breast cancer (72.0%), knew how to perform breast self-examination (62.8%) and learnt it from internet (46.9%). Students performed breast self-examination once a month (36.8%) and whenever they remembered (74.2%). The familial risk factors significantly increased the sensitivity levels of students. The region where they came from increased the level of taking the disease seriously (p<0.05). The sensitivity, motivation, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy subscale scores and total scale scores were significantly higher (p<0.05) among students who had information about breast cancer and who performed breast self-examination monthly or annually, on the first day of each month or whenever they thought of it were found to be statistically significant higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that increasing awareness could increase health beliefs about breast cancer screening. Also, students' health beliefs were dependent on variables such as geographical region of residence, faculty of study, family history of cancer, knowledge level, use and frequency breast self-examination and reasons for doing and not doing breast self-examination. There is a need for intensive and comprehensive breast cancer education and breast self-examination awareness. It is important to include demographic variables and individual experience characteristics in the training curriculum.

  A Study on Historical/Social Traumas and the Forms of Intergenerational Transmission

  Karatay, Gülnaz

  Historical/social traumas such as war, migration, natural disasters and genocide have multidimensional devastating effects on the survivors. However, subsequent generations also absorb the experiences of their parents in different ways, even if they were not directly exposed to trauma, and their stress-response systems may become vulnerable. This situation, which indicates the contagious nature of social traumas, is expressed in the concepts such as “secondary traumatization” or “intergenerational transmission of trauma”. In the past two decades, there have been an increasing interest in, and modelling studies on the forms of intergenerational transmission of trauma. Scientific studies reveal that, despite some disadvantages of the retrospective method, social/historical traumas continue to affect subsequent generations through psychodynamic, environmental, cultural and epigenetic mechanisms. It is stated that intra-family communication patterns play an important role especially in the processes of trauma transmission and the generation effect may be experienced more heavily in the families who failed to achieve posttraumatic growth. This review article, discussing intergenerational transmission of trauma, aims to create a perspective on the phenomenon by reviewing the literature on the forms of intergenerational transmission of trauma and concordantly, to contribute to a better understanding of the cost of social traumas.

  Assessment of health status management in women with gestational diabetes

  Aksoy Derya, Yeşim; Karadağ, Ezgi; Oltuluoğlu, Hatice

  Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the health management in women with gestational diyabetes mellitus. Method: Designed as descriptive and crosssectional, the study was performed in the pregnancy clinic of a university hospital between 1st January and 31st August 2010. All patients applying to the clinic during the study with gestational diyabetes via oral glucose tolerance testing (n=149) constituted the universe of the study. Not using insulin, pregnant were included in the study that participating in the educational program at least for two months between the weeks 24 and 38 during their pregnancies. Totally 120 individuals were recruited, 60 as insulin-diet-exercise health management program, and 60 in only diet-exercise health management program. Findings: The mean age of the women were 32,8&plusmn;5,1 and 47,5% were primary school graduates. Of the women, 80.8% were housewives. It was determined that the mean HbA1c (p=0,016) and postprandial blood glucose levels (p=0,034) of women in insulin-diet-exercise health management program were statistically and significantly lower and controlled than those in onlydiet-exercise health management program. The mean fasting blood glucose level was lower in those using insulin, but this score was statistically insignificant (p=0,131). The comparison of the two groups revealed that the rate of compliance with the diet (p=0,003) and exercise (p=0.269) programs prescribed was lower in those using insulin. Conclusion: Forming life style changes by involving women into health management programs effectively plays a key role in decreasing the negative effects of gestational diyabetes mellitus to the lowest levels for both the mothers and the newborns.
