    (Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences, 2016) Yardimci H.; Özdogan Y.; Asil E.; Hovland E.D.; özçelik A.Ö.
    Aim: This study was aimed to determine the daily water and fluid consumption of health professionals. Methods: The sample included 313 subjects (female: 222, male: 91) between 22 and 49 years of age. The questionnaire solicited demographic information from the participants and asked about their fluid consumption and its frequency. The principal variable was gender. To analyze the data statistically, tables of means, standard deviations (X±SD) and percentage (%) values were used. When identifying the fluid intake of healthcare staff, the independent t test was used to account for gender. Results: The fluid consumption of the participants was examined, and the average was 2,262.6±845.2 mL. The mean consumption of water was 1,404.0±719.8 mL. Other significant fluid intake included black tea at 314.4±147.9 mL, instant coffee at 160.5±52.2 mL, milk/ayran/kefir at 157.7±134.8 mL, soft drinks at 61.6±104.7 mL and fruit juice at 72.5±103.9 mL. It was also found that the gender differences in total fluid and soft drink consumption were statistically significant (p < .05), while the consumption of other drinks did not vary significantly by gender (p > .05). Conclusion: To precisely determine water and fluid intake, studies should be planned and conducted with large samples using standardized assessment tools.

    Nutritional knowledge and behavior of adults: Their relations with sociodemographic factors
    (Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2016) Hakli G.; Asil E.; Uçar A.; Özdogan Y.; Yilmaz M.V.; Özçelik A.Ö.; Sürücüoğlu M.S.
    This cross-sectional study was carried out for the purpose of investigating the factors affecting nutritional knowledge and behaviors of adults and the relation between nutritional knowledge and these behaviors. The study population consisted of 1062 adults aged 18-65 who presented to health care centers (mean age was 37.6±11.7 years). Data was collected through a questionnaire. In both score types, participants with undergraduate and graduate degrees and the employed got the highest scores. The difference between the mean knowledge score according to age (p<0.05) and educational status (p<0.01) was significant. The difference in the mean knowledge score on educational status resulted from the gap between those who were illiterate and who received university education and higher education, for the age group of 18-29 year old. With respect to behavioral scores, the differences between gender, marital status, age, employment status and educational status were significant (p<0.01). The group that caused the difference in marital status was the single ones, in the age groups of 18-29 years and ?50 year old and the difference in educational status resulted from the illiterate and from those with university degrees and higher education. It was also found that there was a significant positive relationship between the nutritional knowledge score and the behavior score (r = 0.248, p<0.01). The results of the study revealed that the more adults’ ages and educational status increased, the more nutritional knowledge level they had; also gender, age, educational status, employment status and marital status affected adults’ positive nutritional behaviors. © Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2016.
