    (PAKISTAN MEDICAL ASSOC, 2015) Balci, Serap; Sari, Emine; Mutlu, Birsen
    Objective: To assess the frequency of piercing and tattooing among university students and to determine the extent of risk-taking behaviour in this age group. Method: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a university in Istanbul, Turkey, from December 2009 to February 2010. Data was obtained from students through a questionnaire. SPSS 20 was used for statistical analysis. Result: Of the 1303 subjects, 838(64.3%) were girls. The overall mean age of the sample was 21.7+/-1.9 years. A total of 107 (8.2%) had piercings and 56(4.3%) had tattoos. It was seen that young people who had piercings and tattoos were significantly more likely (p<0.05) to exhibit certain types of risk behaviour including smoking, alcohol, substance abuse, extreme sports, carrying switchblades/knives, unprotected sexuality and having multiple sex partners. Conclusion: In the face of the steadily increasing fads of piercing and tattooing among the youth, families, teachers and health professionals need to be constantly on the alert.

    A Study of Uro-oncology Patient Perceptions of Social Support and Hope Levels
    (KARE PUBL, 2016) Kocak Uyaroglu, Arzu; Gul, Murat; Sari, Emine; Goktas, Serdar
    OBJECTIVE The present study measured social support perceptions and hope levels of uro-oncology patients diagnosed with cancer and examined how they vary according to sociodemographic variables. METHODS Research was conducted on 143 uro-oncology patients in Konya, Turkey, using a sociodemographic information form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Hope Scale. RESULTS Patient mean multidimensional perceived social support score was quite high at 62.14 +/- 14.99, and mean hope level score was 20.62 +/- 4.50. Hope level score was significantly higher in male patients. It was also higher for patients with dependents and for patients who believed their cancer was treatable. Perceived social support levels of patients with dependents and patients who believed their cancer was treatable were also significantly higher. CONCLUSION Hope levels of uro-oncology patients are affected positively by high levels of perceived social support. Women, patients with dependents, and patients who develop a positive attitude toward their cancer treatment were more hopeful than others.
