Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between health literacy and successful aging in elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS This descriptive study was conducted with the participation of 415 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who presented to the diabetics outpatient clinic between April-September 2021. The study data were collected through Identifying Information Form, Health Literacy Scale, and Successful Aging Scale. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, One-Way ANOVA, and student's t test were used. RESULTS Health Literacy Scale total mean score of the elderly individuals was found as 55.50 ± 6.08, and their Successful Aging Scale total mean score was determined to be 38.91 ± 2.05. A positive correlation was found between Health Literacy Scale total mean score and Successful Aging Scale total mean score, while a negative relationship was determined between Successful Aging Scale mean score and HbA1c values (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION As a result of the study, it was concluded that elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who had high levels of health literacy had high levels of successful aging as well.

Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Parkinson disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms, can affect the daily activities of individuals. This study was conducted to determine nonmotor symptom burden in patients with PD and to reveal the relationship of nonmotor symptom burden with activities of daily living and fear of falling. METHODS: This cross-sectional and correlational study was carried out with 309 patients given a diagnosis of PD. The data were collected using a personal information form, the Non-Motor Symptoms Scale, the Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale, and the Fear of Falling Questionnaire. RESULTS: Whereas 70.2% of the patients had very high nonmotor symptom severity levels, 33.7% were semidependent or dependent in terms of performing their activities of daily living. The fear of falling was experienced by 32.7% of the patients. A statistically significant inverse relationship was found between the mean Non-Motor Symptoms Scale scores of the patients and their mean Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale and Fear of Falling Questionnaire scores (P < .05). Nonmotor symptom burden independently explained 66% of the total variance in the performance of activities of daily living and 69% of the total variance in fear of falling (P < .01). CONCLUSION: Nonmotor symptom burden in PD patients is a significant determinant for participation in activities of daily living and fear of falling. Nurses should approach patients with PD with a focus not only on assessing motor symptoms but also on assessing nonmotor symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the diabetes burden in elderly individuals along with successful ageing, which defines how well individual ages contribute to coping with the disease and diabetes management. This study also aimed to evaluate the relationship between diabetes burden and successful ageing in elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS The data for this descriptive study were collected from 526 individuals who were 65 years old patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the diabetes polyclinic of a research and training hospital between January and June 2021. RESULTS It was found that the Successful Ageing Scale score was higher in women, those who had regular diabetes control, and those who had easy access to health services. Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale scores were found to be higher in men, those whose diabetes treatment was insulin, and those with poor perceived health status. No statistically significant relationship was determined between the Elderly Diabetes Burden Scale total score and the Successful Ageing Scale total score (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Accordingly, by enabling the elderly to have easy access to healthcare services, preventing complications, and providing elderly healthcare services, it will be possible to reduce the diabetes burden in the elderly and enable them to age successfully.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to evaluate the circulating thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in order to integrate these signaling pathways in the inflammatory and fibrogenic processes of this liver disorder. METHODS Ninety-five NAFLD patients were recruited in the study. The study also included 83 age-sex matched healthy controls. RESULTS The number of patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria was 57 (60%). TSP-1 level was found to be statistically significantly lower in the NAFLD group compared to the control group (p=0.037). However, NF-κB level was found to be significantly higher in the NAFLD group compared to the control group (p=0.004). There was a significant negative correlation between plasma TSP-1 levels with glucose (r=-0.235, p=0.022), alanine aminotransferase (r=-0.261, p=0.011) and aspartate transaminase (r=-0.328, p=0.001) levels. In addition, a significant negative correlation was found between plasma TSP-1 and NF-κB levels (r=-0.729, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a close relationship between increased NF-κB and reduced TSP-1 in NAFLD. TSP-1 and NF-κB signaling pathways might have a role in the inflammatory and fibrogenic processes. Furthermore, they may be used as a noninvasive marker and could assist as a therapeutic target for NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes education in Turkey is provided by diabetes nurse educators in almost all healthcare organizations. However, the education is not standardized in terms of learning content, duration, and methods. This multi-center study was performed to assess the self-care behaviors and glycemic control following education provided to the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by diabetes nurse educators. METHODS This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study and included 1535 patients admitted to 28 public hospitals for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The education was assessed by using a Patient Identification Form and Self-care Scale. RESULTS The proportion of individuals who received diabetes education within the last year was 78.5%, with 46.7% of them having received it once. Of the patients, 84.8% reported that they received diabetes education individually. It was found that the proportion of individuals who received education about oral antidiabetics (78.5%) and glucose testing at home (78.5%) was higher than the proportion of individuals who received education about exercise (58.8%) and foot care (61.6%). The status of diabetes education, education intervals, and the correlation of the education method with self-care and glycemic control was evaluated. Self-care and glycemic control levels were better among the patients who received diabetes education thrice or more and in patients who received education both individually and in a group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Approximately three-quarters of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus received education by diabetes nurse educators in Turkey. Diabetes education is positively correlated with self-care and glycemic control levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Efforts for generalization and standardized education for all diabetes patients are necessary.

Abstract
Religious coping is considered an important factor for assisting with the management of chronic diseases. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between religious coping and disease acceptance and management among patients with diabetes. A total of 504 individuals with type 2 diabetes were included in this descriptive-correlational study. In this study, individuals who did not use their medications regularly, those who did not pay attention to their diet and those who did not exercise regularly had higher levels of positive religious coping. No significant relationship was found between the level of acceptance of illness and religious coping styles among participants with diabetes. However, it was found out that there was a positive relationship between HbA1C levels and the mean score of positive religious coping and positive religious coping accounted for 7% of the total variance in the glycemic control parameter.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to assess whether there is an association between alexithymia in patients with diabetes and the levels of perceived social support and glycaemic control. BACKGROUND In the literature, whether inadequate perceived social support is a cause or effect of alexithymia has also not been clearly explained. It is stated that it is difficult to determine from where these contradictions arise, and there is a need for more studies on this topic. METHOD This cross-sectional and correlational study included 537 patients with type I and type 2 diabetes. The data were collected using a Patient Information Form including the patient's HbA1c value that reflected their glycaemic control level, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The study was reported according to the STROBE Declaration. RESULTS Among the patients with diabetes, 63.9% showed signs of alexithymia. Alexithymia had a negative relationship with perceived social support and a positive relationship with HbA1c. Additionally, it was determined that the patients who showed signs of alexithymia had lower levels of perceived social support in comparison with those who did not show such signs, whereas the HbA1c levels of the former were also higher than those of the latter. Moreover, it was found that the duration of the disease, HbA1c levels and levels of perceived social support from family and a significant other explained 30% of the total variance in the level of alexithymia. CONCLUSION Alexithymia was seen prevalently among the patients with diabetes, and it was associated with a reduced level of perceived social support and weak glycaemic control. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE It is recommended to provide patients with psychosocial support in the scope of holistic care and include the individuals who provide care for and support the patient in the patient's management of the disease.
