An investigation of the relationship between the general vaccination attitudes of pregnant women and their attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the attitudes of pregnant women toward general vaccines based on the Health Belief Model and their attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine. The study, which was designed as a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study, was conducted with 348 pregnant women in three public hospitals in Northern Cyprus between June 24 and November 28, 2022. Data were collected using the "Participant Information Form," "Public Attitude Toward Vaccination Scale-Health Belief Model" (PAVS-HBM), and "Attitudes Toward the COVID-19 Vaccine" (ATV-COVID-19). The COVID-19 vaccination r...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1967: Determination of Carrier Frequency of Actionable Pathogenic Variants in Autosomal Recessive Genetic Diseases in the Turkish Cypriot Population
In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency and allele frequency spectrum of single nucleotide variants accepted as recessive disease carrier status in Turkish Cypriot exomes. The same sequencing platform and data processing line were used for the analysis of data from 100 Turkish Cypriot whole-exome sequence analysis. Identified variants were classified according to ACMG guidelines, and pathogenic variants were confirmed in other databases such as ClinVar, HGMD, Varsome, etc. Pathogenic variants were detected in 68 genes out of 100 whole-exome sequence data. The carriage rate was the highest in the CYP21A2 gene, ...

An Analysis of the Mode of Delivery, Risk Factors, and Subgroups with High Caesarean Birth Rates Using Robson Classification System
ConclusionsFindings revealed the substandard quality of obstetric data and a noticeably high overall CS rate. The top priority should be given to improving the quality of medical records. It underscored the necessity of implementing the Robson classification system as a standard clinical practice to enhance data quality, which helps to effectively evaluate and monitor the CS rates in obstetric populations.

Assessing perceived and functional health literacy among parents in Cyprus: A cross-sectional study
ConclusionEven though there was lack of agreement in the classification according to the HLS-EU-Q47 and the NVS, moderate-to-low levels of perceived HL appear consistent with a performance-based measure of HL. As a high number of parents may face challenges in assessing and applying health information to improve outcomes for their children, with evidence of social gradient, healthcare services should be oriented towards identifying problematic HL while Public Health interventions are needed to enhance parental HL.
