Article Never Judge a Book by Its Cover-The Socio-Cultural Aspects of Non-Epileptic Seizures in India-A Case Study(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Bhattacharya, Sudip; Tripathi, Shailesh; Marzo, Roy Rillera; Gökdemir, Özden; Borocco, MaddonaHealth for All will never be attained if sociocultural bias and pervasive hypocrisy are not eliminated. The patient mentioned in this case study had difficulty gaining access to health care for more than two decades. The seizure history was modified due to social pressure. The primary healthcare workers' ability to provide timely access to healthcare regardless of caste, religion, or gender, even in the most remote regions of the country, is of paramount importance. The patient was diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism and treated with calcium and vitamin D in high oral doses. The case also illustrates the significance of medical examination in preventing future difficulties in patients with presenile cataract.Book Part Multiple Sclerosis(Nova Science Publishers Inc., 2025) Başaran, S.; Gökdemir, Ö.This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. The body attacks its nerve cells' sheaths, called myelin, in both the brain and the spinal cord, and this can cause a variety of presentations in patients suffering from MS. This condition can affect the function of motor, sensory, emotional, cognitive, or visual areas, hence the different clinical presentations. The formation of MS can be influenced by environmental factors, genetic susceptibility, along with dysregulated immune response which leads to inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration. Important tools to make an MS diagnosis are careful clinical evaluation, the use of neuroimaging tools such as MRI, and laboratory studies. The current treatment approaches for MS aim to prevent relapses, lessen symptoms, and slow down the disease progression with the use of disease modifying therapies (DMT) and symptomatic treatment approaches. More recent advancements such as biologic agents and small molecule inhibitors have been expanding the treatment options. Overall, comprehensive management of MS includes a multidisciplinary approach to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Ongoing researches continue to deepen our understanding of MS pathogenesis and new possible treatment options. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.Letter Wonca Europe’s New Family Medicine Definition and Sustainable Healthcare Knowledge(Kare Publishing, 2024) Spínola, A.C.F.; Arman, I.H.; Bentounsi, Z.; Cordovil, C.; Gökdemir, Ö.[No abstract available]Article Unresolved Pain in a Middle-Aged Woman: an Integrated Family Medicine Approach(2023) Küçükerdem, Halime Seda; Aygün, Olgu; Gökdemir, Özden47 years old woman had applied to the outpatient clinic as she was suspicious because of COVID-19. The patient has non-specific symptoms such as fever, pain, and anosmia. The family physician has prescribed Enfluvir, vitamin D, etol-fort tb . After the medication, she has come to the clinic again because of the not finished pain. The family physician that the first one consulted has ordered Magnetic Resonance Imagining for the sacroiliac region as the patient told that the pain when she was sitting for at least two and half years and nowadays her pain was more although she was taking her painkillers. According to the non-contrast, MRI of the sacroiliac joint: “ joint surfaces exhibit irregularity and narrowing. In the posterior, more prominent articular surfaces on the right in the fat-suppressed axial and coronary sequences, there is focal bone marrow edema and sacroiliitis activation. The right adnexa within the sections showed an 8 cm cystic appearance. MRI and USG of the lower abdomen are advised.”. The lab and also with IV contrast, MRI of the pelvis, and ultrasonography were planned with the rheumatology and gynecology consultations.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Frequency of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Among Children Aged 4 To 9 Years: a Cross-Sectional Study(SAGE Publications Inc., 2023) Aslan, Doğan, L.; Gökdemir, Özden; Özçakar, N.The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the influencing factors in children aged 4 to 9. The cross-sectional descriptive study included 1176 children between the ages of 4 and 9 who applied for Family Medicine Centers between March 1, 2017 and April 30, 2017 for various reasons. Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms Questionnaire, Roma III Version (QPGS-RIII) was applied to the volunteers (children’s parents or caregivers), and Beck Anxiety Scale was applied to the mothers accompanying their children. A total of 603 (51.9%) of the children included in the study were female and 559 (48.1%) were male. When the applied QPGS-RIII was evaluated with IBS diagnostic criteria, IBS was found in 137 children and IBS frequency was found to be 11.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]). Significant differences were found in socioeconomic level, eating habits, TV-watching habits, and IBS status (P <.05). © The Author(s) 2023.Article Hipertansiyon Hastası Yönetimi Konusunda Aile Hekimliği Asistan Eğitiminin Değerlendirilmesi(2023) Gökdemir, Özden; Yıldırım, Ediz; Limnili, Gizem; Aygün, Olgu; Güldal, DilekGiriş ve Amaç: Hipertansiyon (HT), yüksek kan basıncı ile ortaya çıkan sistemik bir hastalık olup, toplumda yaygın olarak görülen ve ciddi komplikasyonlara neden olan büyük bir sağlık sorunudur. Kan basıncı düzeylerinin kontrolü, ortaya çıkan komplikasyonları azaltmada önemli bir adımdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, aile hekimliği asistanlarının HT bilgi ve farkındalığı üzerinde yüz yüze HT eğitiminin etkisini değerlendirmek ve ihtiyaçlarını anlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamız, betimleyici-kesitsel araştırma tasarımında planlandı. Yüz yüze eğitimden hemen önce ve sonra, katılımcılara, Türk Hipertansiyon Konsensus Raporları 2019 ve Türkiye Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma Derneği tarafından 2022 yılında yayınlanan Hipertansiyon Tanı ve Tedavi Kılavuzu temel alınarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan bir anket verildi. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda, yüz yüze eğitimin HT ile ilgili 15 alt kategorideki etkisini müdahale araştırma modeli olarak inceledik. Eğitim sonrası değerlendirmede, 15 alt kategorinin 12'si teorik soruları, üçü ise vaka temelli değerlendirme sorularını içeriyordu. Soruların %50 veya daha fazlasını doğru cevaplamak hedeflenmiş olup, eğitim sonrası, 15 alt kategoriden beşinde bu hedefin genel olarak başarıldığı gözlendi. Sonuç: Yüz yüze eğitim, birincil sağlık hizmetlerinde HT yönetiminin iki önemli unsuru olan bilgi ve farkındalığı artırmada ve değerlendirme kapasitesinde etkilidir. HT ile ilgili 15 alt kategoriye yapılan ayrıntılı inceleme, etki büyüklüğü açısından daha iyi olan kategorileri ortaya çıkardı. Çalışmamız, HT yönetimi ile ilgili alt kategorilere etkileri de ayrıntılı bir şekilde ele alarak (örneğin, birinci basamak HT yönetimine direnç gibi) ilginç ve biraz beklenmedik sonuçlar ortaya çıkmıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 3The Role of Community-Based Health Practice on the Improvement of Healthcare Students' Communication, Empathy and Perception of the Elderly: a Qualitative Study at Izmir University of Economics(Istanbul Univ, Fac Communication, 2021) Aksoy, Zeynep; Gokdemir, Ozden; Şemin, Makbule İlgiInterpersonal communication involving empathy is of great importance in therapeutic relationships in healthcare. To equip medical/healthcare students with interpersonal communication skills, community-based health education provides real-life contexts in which they engage with the community as part of the curriculum. A community-based health practice (CBHP) was implemented at Izmir University of Economics (IUE) to improve students' communication, empathy and perception towards the elderly. Within an interdisciplinary collaboration among the medicine, nursing, elderly-care and physiotherapy programs, a total of 111 students participated in the project. This study aimed to evaluate the role of the CBHP on students' communication, empathy and perception of the elderly. Taking a qualitative approach, focus group interviews were organized with students (n=22). Descriptive analysis of the qualitative data revealed that students witnessed the loneliness of elderly individuals, their physical and psychosocial needs, which resulted in a high degree of empathy. Furthermore, the study also aimed to gain insights from elderly participants via in-depth interviews (n=9). Results demonstrated that the participants felt valued and useful during the communication processes with the students. In conclusion, CBHP contributed to students' perceptions and empathy towards the elderly; meanwhile the elderly individuals were satisfied with the interest of the medical, nursing and healthcare students.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 41On the Importance of Primary and Community Healthcare in Relation To Global Health and Environmental Threats: Lessons From the Covid-19 Crisis(Bmj Publishing Group, 2021) Lauriola, Paolo; Martin-Olmedo, Piedad; Leonardi, Giovanni S.; Bouland, Catherine; Verheij, Robert; Duckers, Michel L. A.; van Tongeren, Martie; Gökdemir, ÖzdenIn the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become clear that primary healthcare systems play a critical role in clinical care, such as patient screening, triage, physical and psychological support and also in promoting good community advice and awareness in coordination with secondary healthcare and preventive care. Because of the role of social and environmental factors in COVID-19 transmission and burden of disease, it is essential to ensure that there is adequate coordination of population-based health services and public health interventions. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the primary and community healthcare (P&CHC) system's weaknesses worldwide. In many instances, P&CHC played only a minor role, the emphasis being on hospital and intensive care beds. This was compounded by political failures, in supporting local community resilience. Placing community building, social cohesion and resilience at the forefront of dealing with the COVID-19 crisis can help align solutions that provide a vision of 'planetary health'. This can be achieved by involving local well-being and participation in the face of any pervasive health and environmental crisis, including other epidemics and large-scale ecological crises. This paper proposes that P&CHC should take on two critical roles: first, to support local problem-solving efforts and to serve as a partner in innovative approaches to safeguarding community well-being; and second, to understand the local environment and health risks in the context of the global health perspective. We see this as an opportunity of immediate value and broad consequence beyond the control of the COVID-19 pandemic.Article Strengthening Primary Health Care Through Moocs (massive Open Online Courses): a Cross-Sectional Study(2023) Gökdemir, Özden; Hoedbecke, Kyle; Bojaj, Gazmend; Küçükerdem, Halime Seda; Bhattacharya, Sudip; Bakola, Maria; Jelastopulu, EleniObjective: After the increased number of COVID-19-positive patients, a plateau phase and a decrease in the numbers were expected, followed by a second phase which could lead to an increased health system workload. The importance of training well-educated and qualified healthcare professionals (HPs) has been reconsidered. The rapid spread of the epidemic revealed the limitations of traditional method education. Massive online courses (MOOCs) were offered as a solution to keep the information up-to-date and accessible. The aim of our study was to evaluate the perceptions and experiences of healthcare professionals on strengthening the health system during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional multi-centered study, an online survey was applied to HPs between February-May 2021. There were 28 participating countries. Due to international participation, the survey was conducted in English. Results: There were 88 female and 87 male participants. Most of the participants were from Europe and Euroasia. Most of them reported their income as $501-$1500 US Dollars). The duration of job experience was between 5-15 years. 111 of them have completed a postdoctoral degree. Conclusion: According to the survey, all the groups reported as the effect of strengthening primary care by MOOC was positive.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 17Family Physicians' Knowledge About and Attitudes Towards Covid-19 - a Cross-Sectional Multicentric Study(Korean Soc Antimicrobial Therapy, 2020) Gokdemir, Ozden; Pak, Halil; Bakola, Maria; Bhattacharya, Sudip; Hoedebecke, Kyle; Jelastopulu, EleniBackground: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected every country on earth, and family physicians (FPs) have helped patients at every stage. The first objective of our study was to study the FPs' knowledge about COVID-19 and second objective was to assess their attitudes, stress and death anxiety surrounding the current pandemic. Materials and Methods: An online questionnaire was prepared to collect responses from FPs between March-April 2020. A descriptive and correlational design was utilized. Results: 240 FPs from eight countries were evaluated. The majority reported that they received most information from medical journals (77%). Most of the respondents also noted that the most common symptoms were acute respiratory syndrome and fever - with the most effective treatment in most cases consisting of symptomatic treatment (41%). Although FPs generally had a positive attitude, most of them (68%) were concerned about contacting COVID-19 from patients and as a result, they experienced increased stress (64%). Conclusion: The research was conducted during the COVID-19 outbreak while the FPs were working on the frontline of the pandemic. This research revealed that most of the FPs had good knowledge of, and a positive attitude towards COVID-19 treatment. It was observed that participants who tended towards conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience, and who had higher life satisfaction, and lower levels of death anxiety also reported more positive attitudes towards COVID-19. While the main target population of COVID-19 disease were the older age groups, FPs' attitudes and fear levels were not associated with age, gender, or years of experience.
