    (2020) Ballar, Manolya; Tuğ, Tuncer; Mutlu, Mehmet Kayhan; Konuk, Suat
    The aim of this study was finding out the rates of pneumococcal and influenza vaccination, the factors influencing vaccination, and non-vaccination in COPD patients.The study was conducted with 104 COPD patients diagnosed by a pulmonologist. The diagnosis was made according to the GOLD 2019 document via an FEV1/FVC ratio below 70%. The patients were inquired about getting vaccinated for influenza in the last year and pneumococci in the last five years. The patients were then grouped according to their vaccination status and inquired about their perception of the necessity of vaccination. The study revealed a significant association between COPD levels and the awareness of the necessity of annual influenza vaccination (p=0.019). However, there was no significant association between COPD levels and being vaccinated for influenza in the last year (p=0.434). There was no significant association between COPD levels and pneumococcal vaccination in the last five years or the awareness for the necessity of the vaccine (p=0.0559 and p=0.495). 22.2% of the patients who were vaccinated for pneumonia were also vaccinated for influenza and 98.7% of the patients who were not vaccinated for pneumonia were also not vaccinated for influenza in the last year. 85.7% of the patients who got an influenza vaccine in the last year also knew the necessity of getting annually vaccinated (p=<0.001). Every patient who has gotten the pneumonia vaccine in the last five years knew the necessity of getting a pneumonia vaccine as well (p<0.001).This study shows that most patients who got the influenza vaccine in the last year also knew the necessity of getting an influenza vaccine every year. Furthermore, all the patients who got the pneumococcal vaccine in the last five years knew the necessity of getting the pneumococcal vaccine. Most patients who were not vaccinated for pneumonia in the last 5 years were not vaccinated for influenza either.

    The knowledge and approaches of parents to tick bite and tick-borne disease
    (2020) Mutlu, Mehmet Kayhan; Gücük, Sebahat
    The present study aims to evaluate the knowledge and approaches of parents to a possible tick bite and tick-borne diseases that may develop in their children.Methods: The descriptive study enrolled 504 voluntary parents living in Bolu, having children under the age of 18 and applying any reason to the outpatient clinic of family medicine between September 2018 and December 2018. A 33-question questionnaire was applied to all participants. The mean age of participants was 39,8±13,9 (18-68). Considering the measures taken by parents in their children, 240 (47.6%) of them were careful to wear light-colored and closed clothing and 379 (75.2%) of them were careful to tuck their pant legs into their socks. 169 (33.5%) of them were roughly checking the presence of tick on their children’s body, when they were in risky areas for ticks, while 78 (15.5%) of them were fully checking their children body, including the back of the underarm, the nape, the hair bottoms, the groin for presence of tick. When the participants with being engaged in farming compared with the patients without being engaged in farming, we observed the statistically significant differences concerning type of clothing styles, previous educational history and being familiar with a tick (p= 0.006, 0.014 and <0.001, respectively). The present study shows that people who are engaged in farming and live in risky areas for tick-bite are well-informed about the tick-borne disease. Furthermore, the people who are not engaged in farming must be trained on tick-bite and tick-borne disease.
