    Determining the levels of pelvic floor disorders in women diagnosed with urinary incontinence: a mix-method study
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2025) Yalazi, Ruveyda Olmez; Demirci, Nurdan
    Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI) significantly affects women's quality of life and may contribute to pelvic floor disorders. This study aimed to investigate the impact of UI on pelvic floor disorders through a mixed-methods approach.Methods A convergent parallel design was employed, integrating quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were collected using the Global Pelvic Floor Disorders Questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews were conducted for qualitative insights. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, while qualitative data underwent content analysis with MAXQDA Pro 22 software.Results Among the participants, 41.7% were diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence, which was associated with the highest level of discomfort. Qualitative findings revealed four main categories: effects on daily life, emotional and psychological effects, coping strategies, and treatment approaches and expectations. Participants reported that UI led to social isolation, reduced self-esteem, and increased anxiety.Discussion The findings highlight that UI adversely affects both the physical and psychosocial well-being of women. Addressing this condition requires a holistic approach combining medical treatment with psychosocial support to mitigate its multifaceted impact.

    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.

    The Effects of Chewing Gum and Drinking Fennel Tea on Intestinal Motility Post-Cesarean Section: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Imr Press, 2025) Yalazi, Ruveyda Olmez; Demirci, Nurdan
    Background: Postoperative ileus after cesarean section prolongs hospital stays and increases perioperative costs. The impact of fennel tea and chewing gum on bowel motility remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of chewing gum and fennel tea on intestinal motility after cesarean section. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted between January 2018 and April 2018 with 120 participants divided into four groups: chewing gum, fennel tea, chewing gum plus fennel tea, and control (n = 30 per group). Bowel sounds, time to first flatulence, and defecation were recorded. Data were analyzed using statistical tests with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The chewing gum plus fennel tea group exhibited the earliest onset of bowel sounds (6.96 +/- 3.41 hours). The fennel tea group demonstrated the shortest time to first flatulence (15.47 +/- 7.77 hours) and first defecation (21.02 +/- 8.75 hours) compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Although chewing gum alone promoted enhanced bowel motility, it was less effective than fennel tea alone. No complications or adverse events were reported in any group. Conclusions: Chewing gum and fennel tea are cost-effective interventions to improve intestinal motility post-cesarean section. Incorporating these remedies into postoperative care may reduce gastrointestinal complications.

    The relationship between women's climate change awareness and concerns about climate change in Turkiye
    (Wiley, 2024) Demir, Rukiye; Yalazi, Ruveyda Olmez; Dinc, Ayten
    Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between women's awareness of climate change and their worries about climate change in terms of women's health in Turkiye. Study design: Cross-sectional survey.Methods: The research was conducted in a descriptive study design in the relational survey model. The sample of the study consisted of 321 women. Data were collected with the Personal Information Form, Adaptation of Awareness to Climate Change Questionnaire, Climate Change Worry Scale.Results: The total mean score of the Awareness to Climate Change Scale for Women was 2.32 +/- 0.61 (moderate awareness), and the total mean score of the Climate Change Worry Scale was 2.76 +/- 0.84 (moderate anxiety). There was a statistically significant, positive but weak relationship between women's worries about climate change and their awareness to climate change (r = 0.373, p < .001).Conclusions: As women's awareness to climate change increases, their worries about climate change increase.
