Relationships Between Family Sense of Coherence, Coping and Role Performance in Parents of Children with Disabilities: Structural Equation Modeling.

This descriptive study was designed with a clear focus: to use structural equation modeling to determine the intricate relationships between family sense of coherence, coping, and role performance in parents of children with disabilities. The study was conducted with a sample of 185 parents of children receiving special education at the primary school level in a province in Türkiye. Data was collected using a parent introduction form, the Family Sense of Coherence Scale-short form (FSOC-S), the Family Role Performance (FRP) scale, and the Revised-COPE Scale (R-COPE).

Is the high dose extended infusion of meropenem useful in the treatment of highly resistant gram-negative bacteria in children?

Objectives: Multidrug resistant infections present a treatment challenge for clinicians. These infections have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Recently, there has been increasing discussion in the literature that high dose extended infusion of meropenem may be helpful.

Efficiency of the estimation of physiologic ability and surgical stress (E-PASS) score in predicting postoperative complications after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Background: Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) is increasingly becoming the standard surgical treatment for prostate cancer. While some risk factors for postoperative complications of RARP have been identified, no scoring model that incorporates both preoperative physical status of the patient and intraoperative risk factors has been developed. The Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) score was initially described to predict postoperative complications after gastrointestinal surgical procedures.

Applying the WHO ICF framework to long COVID patients with persistent respiratory symptoms.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate long COVID patients with persistent respiratory symptoms through the application of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.

Patients And Methods: This national, prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted with 213 patients (118 females, 95 males; median age 56 years; range, 20 to 85 years) with long COVID between February 2022 and November 2022. The ICF data were primarily collected through patient interviews and from the acute medical management records, physical examination findings, rehabilitation outcomes, and laboratory test results.

Validation of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for Multiple Sclerosis: A Turkish clinical perspective.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the construct validity of the Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and to identify the impact of MS on specific health domains according to the ICF categories in Turkish individuals.

Patients And Methods: Between December 2011 and December 2012, a total of 150 individuals with MS (69 males, 81 females; mean age: 39.8±8.
