The aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the hand ability scale in the elderly population. Thus, the psychometric properties of the scale, which evaluates hand use in daily life activities in detail and functionally, will be determined in the elderly and an alternative method will be created to evaluate hand functions in the elderly.The sample of the study consists of 220 elderly individuals aged 65 and over residing in the city center of Isparta. Two independent native Turkish translators performed forward translation. To ensure clinical consistency, it was sent to an expert committee of seven expert physiotherapists, 2 neurologists, 1 gerontologist, and 2 translators with no medical or clinical background to reveal vague concepts in the original questionnaire. A single consequent Turkish translation was formed from the combination of the two translations The Turkish scale was translated back into English by two English-native speakers who speak Turkish fluently, and the English version of the scale was compared to the original. A group of experts authorized the final version of the document in Turkish, which was back ward translation. Translators reviewed the translations and compared certain inconsistencies.

Birth enables women to assume the role of parent, but experiencing labor pain is seen as a very stressful event. Birth pain is described as one of the most severe pains women experience throughout their lives. Different pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used to cope with labor pain. Non-pharmacological coping includes physiological coping (such as breathing techniques, relaxation, postural changes, and movement during labor), psychological coping (including social support, increasing self-efficacy, and increasing self-confidence), and cognitive coping (including distraction, illustration). , and focus). Birth self-efficacy refers to the mother's confidence or perception in her own ability to give birth, which may influence her future birth choices. Women with high efficacy expectations (i.e., high confidence regarding childbirth) may use cognitive coping behaviors to cope with labor pain and therefore reduce the likelihood of medical intervention.It has been found that a woman's confidence in her ability to cope with childbirth contributes significantly to her perception of pain during labor and can foster a positive perception of birth. Pregnant women with low self-efficacy also have low self-confidence during birth, which negatively affects their ability to take an active role during birth and causes an increase in cesarean delivery rates. Various approaches such as antenatal training, cognitive behavioral approach, and psychoeducation program are used to reduce the negative consequences that fear of birth may cause and to help pregnant women cope with the fear of birth and increase birth self-efficacy. One of the approaches that include these strategies is seen as the motivational interviewing method. The motivational interviewing method is a goal-oriented and more participant-centered counseling approach that aims to facilitate and activate participants' intrinsic motivation to change their behavior. Motivational interviewing is a method that encourages the participant to think about changes that can be made, rather than the counselor offering suggestions. The basic concepts of motivational interviewing are that the participant recognizes and accepts the need to make changes in their lives; This approach encourages participants to consider whether they are ready to change their behavior.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of the increase in the physical activity level of women at risk for osteoporosis in the post-menopausal period on the physical fitness, functional fitness age and quality of life. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the increase in the level of physical activity positively affect the physical fitness parameters (strength, endurance, balance, agility and flexibility), functional fitness ages and quality of life of post-menopausal women with moderate to high osteoporosis risk? Participants in the intervention group were given the Otago Exercise Program, which will last 3 days a week and an average of 30 minutes per day for 12 weeks. The exercises were done one-by-one with a physiotherapist. No program were applied to the participants in the control group, and they were asked to continue their daily living activities in the same way. Researchers will compare two groups to see if there is a difference in effects of Otogo Exercise Program on physical fitness, functional fitness age, and quality of life.
Traditional games are games based on interpersonal communication and creativity, mostly involving physical activity. These aspects have positive contributions to the development of the child. Studies show that group games that include physical activity cause a decrease in children's stress levels. Playing as a team member and working for a common goal can contribute to the social development of the child. Today, with the development of technology, the interest in games played with the internet has increased, which has caused children to be drawn from the streets to their homes. Turning to internet games also prevents children from socializing and causes them to lead a sedentary life. Spending more time on internet games causes sleep problems, conflict with family members, decrease in school success, increase in stress level, and delay in social skills. It is stated that nurses have important responsibilities in preventing excessive internet use, which affects children's physical, mental and social development. It is thought that this study will help children spend their free time with activities that will positively affect their development through traditional children's games, and thus contribute to the reduction in internet usage times and stress levels.
Objective: To verify the reliability and validity of the Turkish versions of the Hopkins Rehabilitation Engagement Rating Scale (HRERS) for knee arthroplasty. Methods: A total of 51 consecutive participants, inpatients of an orthopedic clinic at the university hospital, were recruited between 2021-2022 June. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to assess internal consistency. By evaluating the scores of 51 retested patients one week later, the test-retest reliability was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to assess the construct validity.
