    A COMPARISON OF REACTION TIMES BETWEEN ADOLESCENTS WITH VISUAL AND AUDITORY IMPAIRMENT AND THOSE WITHOUT ANY IMPAIRMENT
    (Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2013) Yildirim, Necmiye U. N.; Ozengin, Nuriye; Ozturk, Asuman; Ozdemir, Ozlem Cinar; Sertel, Meral; Ozturk, Seren Duzenli
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the auditory and visual reaction times of adolescents with auditory and visual impairment and those of controls without any impairment in order to investigate whether adolescents who lack one sense have an enhanced ability with the other. Methods: A total of 64 adolescents with auditory impairment, 60 adolescents with visual impairment, and 59 controls without impairment, were included in the study. Visually impaired adolescents simple auditory reaction times, auditory impaired adolescents simple visual reaction time, and the controls visual and auditory simple reaction times were evaluated with the New Test 100. Results: While no statistically significant difference was found between auditory reaction times of controls and visually impaired adolescents (p>0.05), a significant difference was observed in visual reaction times of controls and auditory impaired adolescents (p<0.05). Conclusion: The reason why auditory impaired adolescents have longer simple reaction times could result from peripheral or central stimulation, changes in input processing in the cerebrum and their focus on lip reading and sign language compared to visually impaired adolescents.

    (Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2011) Tarsuslu-Simsek, Tulay; Tutun-Yumin, Eylem; Sertel, Meral; Ozturk, Asuman; Yumin, Murat
    Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mental, functional and mobility disabilities on the health related quality of life and life satisfaction of elderly living at home or nursing home. Materials and Method: 59 elder people living in a nursing home, and 98 elder people living in the family environment were included in this study. Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS), Physical Mobility Scale (PMS), Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), Mini Mental Test (MMT) were used for evaluations. Results: A significant difference was found in PMS, MMT, NHP, FIM (p<0.05) between elderly individuals living in nursing home and those living in the family environment. However there was no difference in LSS (p>0.05). There was a relation between NHP and PMS, MMT, LSS, FIM (p<0.05) for the elderly individuals living in family environment. For the elderly individuals living in nursing home a relation was found between NHP and PMS, MMT (p<0.05). Conclusion: Mobility, mental and functional levels are important factors in increasing health related quality of life and life satisfaction in elderly individuals living in nursing homes and in the family environment.

    The relation between health-related quality of life and pain, depression, anxiety, and functional independence in persons with chronic physical disability
    (Kare Publ, 2010) Tarsuslu, Tulay; Yumin, Eylem Tutun; Ozturk, Asuman; Yumin, Murat
    Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the relation between health-related quality of life and pain, depression, anxiety, and functional independence. Methods: The study included 82 healthy subjects aged 38.18 +/- 11.06 and 89 physically disabled subjects aged 37.72 +/- 16.40. Physical and social characteristics of the subjects such as age, height, length, weight, gender, occupational and marital status, and level of education were recorded. Visual Analogue Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Nottingham Health Profile, and Functional Independence Measure were used to evaluate pain, depression, anxiety, quality of life, and functional independence, respectively. Results: Compared to healthy individuals, chronically disabled subjects had higher pain, depression and anxiety and lower quality of life scores. Between-group comparison showed that there was a significant difference in pain, depression, anxiety levels and health-related quality of life (p<0.05). Similarly, both healthy and disabled individuals indicated a negative correlation between pain, depression, anxiety and quality of life (p<0.05). Conclusion: In individuals with chronic disabilities, pain may induce serious psychological problems, negatively affecting quality of life. This study showed that in chronically disabled individuals, there is a strong correlation between pain, depression, anxiety, and quality of life. These results should be considered carefully when planning assessment and rehabilitation programs for individuals with chronic disabilities.
