The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem in the Effect of Muscle Dysmorphia on Exercise Dependence
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Akkurt Yalçıntürk, Aydan; Yılmaz, Ahmet Kamil; Karadaş, İrem İclal
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of self-esteem in the effect of muscle dysmorphia on exercise dependence in young men. Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 500 male individuals aged 18-30 years living in Turkey. Data were collected using the "Descriptive Information Form", the "Muscle Dysmorphia Disorder Inventory", the "Exercise Dependence Scale" and the "Rosenberg Scale of Self-esteem". Results: The effect of muscle dysmorphia on exercise dependence was found to be significant and positive. The effect of self-esteem level on exercise dependence was found to be significant and negative. It was determined that the effect of "Muscle Dysmorphia Inventory" on " Exercise Dependence Scale " was realized through the variable " Rosenberg Scale of Self-esteem" (B=-0.08, β=-0.03, SH=0.02, LLCI=-0.13, ULCI=- 0.04). This finding shows that each unit increase in the " Muscle Dysmorphia Disorder Inventory" score causes a 0.08 unit decrease in the "Exercise Dependence Scale" score through the "Rosenberg Scale of Selfesteem", in other words, there is a mediation effect. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that high levels of muscle dysmorphia increased the risk of exercise dependence in young men, but self-esteem had a decreasing role on this negative effect.
Health Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Cancer Screenings Among Individuals Attending Family Health Centers: A Cross-Sectional Research
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Yıldırım, Dilek; Akyüz Özdemir, Ferda; Boyacı, İbrahim Halil
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of individuals’ health perceptions on their attitudes toward cancer screening and to examine the relationship between these two variables. Method: We implemented a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design. The sample consisted of 351 adults who applied to a family health center in Muğla, Turkey, between January and August 2025. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Health Perception Scale, and the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening. Statistical analyses included descriptive tests, independent samples t-tests, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. Results: The mean age of participants was 43.4±13.9 years, and 60.1% had never undergone cancer screening. The average scores were 38.17±8.21 on the Health Perception Scale and 74.64±15.89 on the Attitude Scale for Cancer Screening. A significant positive correlation was found between health perception and attitudes toward cancer screening (r=0.350, p< 0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated that health perception explained 12.3% of the variance in screening attitudes. Participants with knowledge about cancer or screening methods had significantly higher health perception scores (p< 0.05). No significant differences were observed in screening attitudes by gender, age, or chronic disease status. Conclusion: The findings indicate that health perception is a key determinant of attitudes toward cancer screening. Interventions that strengthen health literacy, enhance awareness, and reduce psychosocial barriers could increase participation in screening programs. Educational initiatives and support interventions delivered through family health centers may play an essential role in promoting early detection and improving community health outcomes.
Comparison of the Effectiveness of Schroth Exercise Method and Combined (Manual Therapy + Schroth Exercise Method) Method in Idiopathic Adolescent Scoliosis
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Karımı, Seyyedeh Sahra; Şenel, Ömer
Aim: This study aimed to assess the impact of the Schroth exercise method alone versus a combination of the Schroth exercise method and manual therapy on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. Method: Participants aged 11-18 were divided into two groups: one practicing Schroth exercises and the other combining these exercises with manual therapy. Gibbosity, static and dynamic balance, visual perception, and quality of life were measured at baseline and after 3-month intervention period. Results: Results indicated no significant differences between the groups in gender distribution, age, height, weight, body mass index, static and dynamic balance, gibbosity, and quality of life (p>0.05), except for visual perception, where the combined therapy group showed better results (p0.05). Conclusion: The study concludes that, except for improved visual perception in the combined therapy group, there were no significant advantages over the Schroth exercise method alone in treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
A Bibliometric Analysis of Surgical Site Infections in Pediatric Surgery
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Nart, Aydın; Aslan, Meltem
Aim: This study aims to examine the existing scientific literature on surgical site infections in the field of pediatric surgery through a bibliometric analysis. In this context, it aims to identify publication trends and highlight current research gaps within the field. Method: A total of 956 articles were included in the analysis based on a search conducted on October 8, 2025, in the Web of Science database using keywords such as “surgical site infection,” “children,” and “pediatric surgery.” The bibliometric evaluation was carried out using the Biblioshiny interface. Parameters such as publication years, keywords, countries, journals, and citations were analyzed. Results: A total of 956 articles published between 1987 and 2025 included 8,624 authors. The United States was identified as the country with the highest number of publications. Journal of Pediatric Surgery was found to be the journal with the highest number of publications and citations. According to the Keywords Plus analysis, the most frequently used terms were “children” (n=413, 14%), “surgical site infection” (n=184, 6%), “surgery” (n=163, 5%), “complications” (n=162, 5%), and “risk factors” (n=144, 5%). Conclusion: This study provides a structured and comprehensive overview of the scientific research on surgical site infections in pediatric surgery. The findings indicate that SSIs have been the focus of scientific investigation for many years and continue to hold clinical and academic importance today. However, in light of the gaps identified in the existing literature, the need for more comprehensive and in-depth studies is evident.
Telemedicine Research Trends: A Bibliometric Perspective on Security and Privacy
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Akıf, Binnur; Kolukırık, Nesrin; Büyüksaatçi Kiriş, Sinem
Aim: To explore the intersection of telemedicine, security and privacy through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, with a focus on technological developments, thematic structures, and global research trends. Method: This study is a bibliometric analysis examining publication trends, thematic structures, keyword patterns and authorial, institutional and County-level contributions to telemedicine security research. A total of 10,641 peer-reviewed articles were retrieved from scientific databases covering health services, telemedicine and information technology literature from 2014 to April 2026. Co-occurrence analysis and thematic mapping were used to identify foundational, specialized, driving and emerging areas of inquiry. Bibliometric tools were used to analyze scientific production, collaboration patterns, keyword structures and thematic development. Results: The volume of research increased significantly after 2020, reflecting the growing role of telemedicine and digital health services during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings show that “telemedicine,” “privacy,” “security,” “digital health,” “mHealth,” and “telehealth” are among the most frequent and influential keywords in the field. The thematic map indicates that security, privacy and blockchain appear as specialized niche themes, whereas artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, big data, and ethics represent emerging areas requiring stronger integration with telemedicine security and privacy research. The results also reveal broad contributions from various authors, institutions, journals, and countries, confirming the multidisciplinary and global nature of this research area. Conclusion: Research on telemedicine security is rapidly expanding, with increasing attention to digital health infrastructures, privacy protection, cybersecurity, and patient-centered remote care. Future studies should focus on integrating security and privacy mechanisms into mainstream telemedicine applications, developing secure data-sharing frameworks, strengthening ethical and privacy-preserving AI-based telemedicine systems and addressing user acceptance differences related to sociocultural, regional, and Digital literacy. These directions can support the development of safer, more trustworthy, inclusive, and sustainable digital health systems.
