    Does Human Papilloma Virus Have an Effect on Sexual Dysfunction?
    (Bandırma Onyedi Eylül Üniversitesi, 2024) Gündüz, Ceyda Su; Tarus, Hamide Arslan; Yalazı, Rüveyda Ölmez; Demirci, Nurdan
    High-risk human papillomaviruses are known to increase the risk of developing many cancers, including cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, head and neck. In addition to cancers, human papillomavirus infections can also cause genital warts, infertility and sexual dysfunction. In this review, the literature on the effect of human papillomavirus on sexual dysfunction was examined. In the literature review, it was determined that human papillomavirus test positivity in women can directly cause deterioration in sexual function or indirectly cause feelings such as guilt, anger, sadness, stigma and shame, leading to a decrease in sexual interest-desire level and frequency of sexual intercourse. However, it has been observed that in men, it can directly increase the risk of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction or indirectly cause feelings such as depression, anxiety, stigma and fear of infection, leading to sexual dysfunction. Nurses who care for individuals infected with human papilloma virus should evaluate patients in terms of psychological and sexual function and take precautions accordingly

    Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Sexual and Reproductive Health Education Given to University Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Oz, Tugba; Tarus, Hamide Arslan; Yalazi, Ruveyda Olmez; Demirci, Nurdan
    ObjectivesYoung people in the university period, known as the transition phase from adolescence to adulthood, are at serious risk in terms of risky sexual behaviors (first sexual intercourse, use of contraceptives, sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancy, maternal mortality, sexual violence). The fact that young people actively use social media and have not received adequate sexual and reproductive health education until the university period is an indication that they are a risky group in terms of sexual and reproductive health when they enter university. It is difficult to access accurate, complete and effective information through digital means, both on social media and other platforms. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of sexual and reproductive health education methods given to university students. MethodA randomized controlled study was conducted with 165 students at a state university in Istanbul between May and July 2022. In the implementation phase of the study, the students were divided into three different groups: 55 students received QR code-supported face-to-face training (intervention group 1), 55 students received face-to-face training (intervention group 2), and 55 students received on-line training (control group). ResultsThe mean age of the students was 21.6 +/- 1.87 and 66.7% of them were female. When the effect of education in the groups was examined, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the pretest and post-test of the sexual health knowledge test, QR code supported face-to-face, on-line and face-to-face groups. The level of participation in the statements related to education also differed significantly according to the groups (p < .05). ConclusionsThe post-test mean of the Sexual Health Knowledge test was significantly higher than the pretest mean. There was no significant difference in the pre-training and post-training means of the Reproductive Health Scale. The level of participation of the QR code-supported face-to-face group and the face-to-face group to the statements related to education is significantly higher than the on-line group. In our study, it was concluded that students were more interactive and more comfortable in the face-to-face education model.

    The Development of the Sexual Health Literacy Scale
    (Springer, 2025) Yalazi, Ruveyda Olmez; Tarus, Hamide Arslan; Gunduz, Ceyda Su; Demirci, Nurdan
    The objective of this study is to develop a Sexual Health Literacy Scale with the purpose of evaluating individual levels of sexual health literacy.The scale items were constructed through an extensive literature review and expert evaluation.An online survey was conducted in which 333 participants rated 33 items on a 5-point Likert scale.An exploratory factor analysis was performed to establish the initial structure of the scale, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis to test the model's fit. The results of the study identified four factors with high reliability: evaluating sexual health information, using and applying sexual health information, contacting an organisation about sexual health, and understanding sexual health information.The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the model's good fit, thus validating the Sexual Health Literacy Scale as a statistically and theoretically sound tool for measuring individual sexual health literacy levels.Further testing is needed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the scale and to determine the appropriateness of its use in other populations.

    Traditional and Complementary Medicines Methods Used by Patients Diagnosed with Covid-19
    (S. Karger AG, 2023) Tarus, Hamide Arslan; Ölmez Yalazı, Rüveyda; Karadeniz, Hilal; Gürkan, Özlem Can
    Aim: This study aimed to determine traditional and complementary medicines (T&CM) methods used by patients before and after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between 27 March 2021 and 2 July 2021, in the community health services unit of Düzce Province, Central District, in the western Black Sea region. 547 people participated in the study. Two forms prepared by the researchers, the "Participant Identification Form"and the "Assessment Form for the Use of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Methods,"were used to collect the data. Results: Before the diagnosis of COVID-19, patients reported that they consumed the highest rate of medicinal plants (56.1%) and fruits (40.4%) and prayed (40.4%) to prevent disease. After the diagnosis of COVID-19, they stated that they consumed the highest percentage of medicinal plants (68.4%) and fruit (53.0%) and prayed (48.4%) to reduce disease symptoms. It was seen that herbal products/herbal mixtures (medicinal plants [p < 0.001], fruits [p < 0.001], and fruit vinegars [p < 0.001]), and T&CM methods such as supplements like C, E, D, and other vitamins (p < 0.001), prayer (p < 0.001), massage (p < 0.001), and apitherapy (p < 0.001) were found to be statistically significant after COVID-19 diagnosis compared to before. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that the patients often used T&CM methods such as herbal products (especially medicinal plants and fruits) and prayer before and after COVID-19 diagnosis, and the use of these T&CM methods increased significantly after diagnosis.

    VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE SELF-CARE ACTIVITIES SCREENING SCALE DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN
    (Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2024) Tarus, Hamide Arslan; Yalazi, Rueveyda Olmez; Oz, Tugba; Demirci, Nurdan
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to adapt the Self -Care Activities Screening Scale in Turkish and to determine its validity and reliability. Material and Methods: The sample of this methodological study conducted during Covid-19 lockdown consists of 140 individuals. For the adaptation of the Self -Care Activities Screening Scale in Turkish, it was translated into Turkish and culturally adapted. Then, the psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The Self -Care Activities Screening Scale consists of 14 items and four dimensions. The fit indices were found to be satisfactory in the confirmatory factor analysis. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the test -retest reliability was 0.81 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Self -Care Activities Screening Scale is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to screen self -care activities in the general population.
