There are many known and unknown risk factors affecting fertility. Nowadays although infertility risk factors have been revealed with the researches carried out today, studies are still going on for many factors brought about by modern life. Nurses should be aware of risk factors that negatively affect fertility in order to prevent deterioration of fertility abilities of individuals. Infertility nurses should assess life-style behaviors in detail while taking anamnesis from couples who have fertility problems or apply for long-term and financially expensive treatment methods such as assisted reproductive techniques. In addition, nurses should do counseling to couples on lifestyles that have an impact on the fertility of individuals and follow the current literature on the subject. Especially risky lifestyle behaviors should be improved if there is no time problem for the couple. Otherwise, treatment strategies should be developed to change these behaviors and individual care plans should be provided to individuals about healthy lifestyle behaviors. In addition, nurses should train couples for risk factors. In this context, the risk factors causing the infertility and nursing roles will be discussed in our review.

Aim. The aim of this study is to detect the prevalence of substance use among tenth-grade students; their thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, and tendencies towards substance use; and risk factors of substance use in tenth-grade students in general. Methods. This study is descriptive and cross-sectional conducted between April and May 2016. Research population consists of tenth-grade students in 2015-2016 school year in the city of Ordu. Since the study involved all tenth-grade students, no sampling was done. Questions on substance use were prepared by Ordu Public Health Directorate and the authors by making use of European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) study questions, AMATEM’s “Drugs and Addiction Youth Survey” study conducted on May 1996, and scientific studies conducted previously on similar subjects. Results. 9825 tenth-grade students in 88 schools from 19 counties in the city of Ordu were included in the study. 8714 of the students participated in the survey. Being male, being over the age of 15, mother and father being separated, living with relatives, being in low income, negative feelings about school, perception of being unsuccessful in school, failing a year, absenteeism, and not being content with life are the risk factors for substance use. Conclusions. The tendency of illegal substance use becoming more and more prevalent especially among youth requires the development of new treatment strategies.

The purpose of this article is to compare health risk factors and rates of absenteeism of employees at General Mills, Inc. after participating for two years in a voluntary, self-directed health promotion program, called the “TriHealthalon.” Twelve hundred field sales employees were initially targeted to participate in this program, which focused on improving participants' physical, mental, and social well-being. Participants were asked to fill out a computerized lifestyle appraisal form before they started the program in 1985, and again in 1986. The rates of absenteeism were monitored for each individual in the participant and nonparticipant groups for the years 1984 (before the program started), 1985, and 1986. T-tests were performed to compare the rate of absenteeism between the two groups. Observations show that after two years in the TriHealthalon program, there was an increase in healthy lifestyle behaviors in the participant group, with a five percent decrease in the number of smokers, a 37 percent increase in the number of people who use their seat belts, and a 23 percent increase in the number of people who exercise three times a week. There was no significant difference in absenteeism between the groups in 1984, before the program began. Absenteeism was significantly (p < .05) less in the participant group during 1985 and 1986 after the initiation of the program.

The article presents the characteristics of the main risk factors and shows the need to involve the family, educational and medical resources, depending on the features of risk factors affecting different stages of human life. It was found that high medical awareness does not affect negotiability of citizens in medical institutions and adherence to a healthy lifestyle. The high frequency of individuals (35.1%), knowledgeable about the principles of health preservation and able to carry them out, but do not applying their medical knowledge and skills in practice, was revealed. One of the ways to improve adherence of health saving behavior of the population is a dynamic monitoring of the implementation of health recommendations according to the primary accounting documents.

Abstract Objective: Intraoperative rupture of an aneurysm is a known risk in the surgical management of intracranial aneurysms. The aim of the present study is to determine the risk factors for IPR.Methods: This study retrospectively examined 2302 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated surgically between December 1996 and July 2019. These patients were categorized into two groups according to whether they exhibited IPR or not: i) The non-IPR group; and ii) the IPR group. Multiple factors, including sex, age, history of SAH, Hunt-Hess grade, Fisher score, operation timing, surgical approach, GOS, size, side, site, number, orientation, morphology and adhesion to surrounding tissue, were analyzed to identify factors associated with IPR.Results: The overall rupture rate was 14.8%. Overall, the number of SAHs (1, ≥2) and aneurysm location (supraclinoid ICA and PICA) were found to be independent risk factors for IPR. This analysis revealed that in the MCA aneurysm database the risk for IPR decreased in patients aged >40 years. Furthermore, the present study identified a progressive increase in the risk of IPR with increasing H-H grade. Finally, in the ACOA aneurysm database the left pterional and coronal craniotomy approach increased the risk for IPR up to 1.99- and 15.153-fold, respectively, compared with the right pterional approach.Conclusions: The number of SAHs (1, ≥2) and aneurysms site (supraclinoid ICA and PICA), age ≤40 years, higher H-H grade and surgical approach (left pterional and coronal craniotomy) seem to be important factors affecting the incidence of IPR.

This article describes the development and growth of Lifestyle Improvements in the Family Environment ( L.I.F.E.), a school-based heart-health screening and intervention program. The primary goals of L.I.F.E. through three rounds of grant funding remained constant: (a) to identify cardiovascular risk factors in students and their families and (b) to provide counseling, education, and opportunities to change lifestyle routines that contribute to those risk factors. The program began with direct ties to a university-based research program and grew with evidence-based successes and development of community partnerships. Waves of growth were influenced by capacity-building efforts, partnership development, and resource availability. School nurses managed the screening component and partnered with appropriate others in the intervention programming. School nurses are appropriately positioned to assist families as well as school and community partners in decreasing the incidence of obesity and promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors.

A review of literature concerning various aspects of children’s and young students’ health and behavioral risk factors affecting its forming is presented. The significant role of pre-school and school education factors in maintaining and improving of younger generations’ health is revealed. Negative aspects of the educational process are: overload with the additional classes adapted from primary school programs at kindergartens, academic overload, irrational schedule, use of innovative teaching methods and technologies that are not suitable for students’ age and physiological features; authoritarianism of modern school, sanitary and epidemiologic requirements noncompliance. Additional risk factors are present in older adolescents: high incidence of out-of-school labor activities (up to 50% of pupils), bad habits, the emergence of occupational exposures, low levels of knowledge in the sphere of self-safety behavior, as well as external causes. Apart from irrational day regimen, academic overload, intensity of exams, behavioral factors are also in the basis of students’ health decrease. The absence of system approach and continuity in solving of the children’s and young students’ healthy lifestyle problems is demonstrated.
