This study aims to investigate the effects of a 6-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) intervention on physical fitness, cardiorespiratory capacity (VO2max), and sleep quality among sedentary male college students. Through a randomized controlled trial, we seek to examine whether HIIT, as a time-efficient exercise modality, can effectively improve these health-related outcomes in young adults who maintain predominantly sedentary lifestyles. This research will provide evidence-based insights into the effectiveness of HIIT as a potential intervention strategy to address the physical and physiological consequences of prolonged sitting behavior among university students.

Tobacco use is a major cause of death resulting from cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and pulmonary disorders. It is also a risk factor for respiratory and other infections, osteoporosis, diabetes, reproductive disorders, adverse surgical outcomes and delayed wound healing, as well as duodenal and gastric ulcers \[1\]. Studies project that the number of deaths due to smoking will rise to 8.4 million by 2030 \[2\]. According to the Tobacco Atlas, in Turkey, 83,100 people die each year due to smoking-related causes. The negative effects of smoking are not limited to chronic diseases; it can also affect the quality of daily life. In a study involving 3,516 participants, it was reported that both male and female smokers experienced significantly greater difficulty falling asleep compared to non-smokers. They also suffered from non-restorative sleep, frequent awakenings during the night, and difficulty falling back asleep \[3\]. Furthermore, literature has demonstrated a significant relationship between smoking and perceived stress \[4\]. Perceived stress is defined as "the feelings or thoughts an individual has about how much stress they are under during a particular period" \[5\]. Although smoking may temporarily alleviate perceived stress, studies suggest it may actually lead to negative emotional states or exacerbate stress in the long run \[6, 7\]. In addition, it has been found that smokers tend to feel more tired and become fatigued more quickly compared to non-smokers \[8, 9\]. The majority of smokers begin smoking during adolescence \[10\]. In their study, Burt et al. reported that 71% of smokers started smoking at or before the age of 18 \[11\]. The university period is a critical phase in young individuals' lives, and habits formed during this time can have long-term health consequences. Smoking can affect not only health but also academic performance \[12\]. Factors such as stress \[13\], sleep quality \[14\], and fatigue \[15\], which have previously been studied in smokers, have also been shown to negatively impact academic achievement. Although academic success will not be directly evaluated in our study, considering the target population, the potential secondary effect of smoking on academic performance further underscores the significance of our research. This study is designed to compare university students who smoke and those who do not in terms of sleep quality, fatigue, and perceived stress levels. Although there are existing studies that examine these parameters individually or in different populations, to our knowledge, no study has simultaneously assessed all of these factors in a university student sample. Most studies in this field focus on the general population; however, university students represent a specific group due to their stressful academic lives, social pressures, and lifestyle changes. The originality of our study lies in its focus on university students and its comprehensive approach to examining multiple variables concurrently. In this context, the planned research will provide more specific and detailed insights into the factors associated with nicotine dependence and their interrelationships.

Senses are fundamental to the neurological system, enabling individuals to perceive their bodies and interact with their surroundings. While the five primary senses-vision, smell, hearing, taste, and touch-are well known, humans also possess three "hidden" senses: the vestibular sense (movement and gravity), proprioception (body position), and interoception (internal organs). Sensory integration, as defined by Dr. Jean Ayres, is the process of receiving, processing, and generating motor responses to sensory input, which influences learning, behaviors, and personality traits. Dr. Winnie Dunn's "Four Quadrant Model of Sensory Processing" further explores how individuals respond to sensory stimuli based on their neurological thresholds and behavioral responses. The model includes four quadrants: low registration, sensation seeking, sensory sensitivity, and sensation avoiding, each of which affects behaviors in daily life, including educational settings. For example, a student with low registration may need more stimuli to focus, while a sensation-avoiding student may prefer quieter environments. Research shows that sensory processing influences academic achievement, yet studies on this relationship in young adults are limited. This study aims to assess how sensory processing impacts academic success among university students.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between social media use and fear of eating disorders in university students. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a relationship between social media use and eating disorder fears in university students? University students will answer a questionnaire face to face, including questions about their social media usage habits, the impact of social media on eating behavior scale, and the fears of eating disorders scale.
NCT06632821
This study aims to investigate the relationship between health literacy, physical activity, back pain, and posture habits among university students. The Health Literacy Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Posture Habits Questionnaire for Back Health in Daily Activities will be used to collect data from participants. Health literacy will be assessed in terms of individuals' ability to access, understand, and apply health-related information, while physical activity levels and posture habits will be examined for their influence on back pain. The findings are expected to shed light on the role of health literacy in promoting healthier physical activity and posture habits, providing insights for strategies to improve back health in this population.

After two earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş Pazarcık in our country, the continuation of long-term aftershocks caused repetition of psychological problems and difficulties in recovery. Social and spiritual support plays a key role in the post-traumatic recovery period. It is necessary to use psychological support methods that can be applied in a short time and whose effect can be observed in a short time in the spiritual healing and healing of traumas. The emotional freedom technique (EFT) is One of the short-term psychotherapeutic techniques and ıt can also be applied online. EFT, which can be easily applied by individuals or professionals after receiving the necessary training; Cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy combine elements of acupuncture point stimulation, relying on manual stimulation of acupuncture points rather than using acupuncture needles. When we look at the literature, many scientific studies have been found in which the effectiveness of EFT on anxiety, stress and depression has been evaluated, but there has been no randomized controlled study evaluating the effectiveness of EFT online on individuals who have experienced earthquakes. With this project, it is aimed to determine the effect of online Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) on stress, anxiety and depression in university students who experienced earthquakes. This study, which will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study, will be carried out between 16.12.2023 and 20.12.2023 by online with university students who score 17 or higher on the Beck Depression Scale. Total of 60 students with depressive symptoms will be recruited to the intervention and control groups, EFT sessions will be applied to the intervention group, and the control group will only be followed. At the beginning of the application, pre-tests (Information Form, Beck Depression Inventory, State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Perceived Stress Inventory) and at the end of the last session, post-tests will be applied for both groups. With this study, a randomized controlled study will be brought to the literature on the effectiveness of a therapeutic method such as EFT, which is a method that can be used after an earthquake, which is easy to apply, has no cost, and can be accessed online in hard-to-reach areas. Our project will both contribute to the literature and provide short and long-term benefits in practice, in terms of raising awareness of students about important mental problems such as anxiety and depression, which are likely to be experienced after the earthquake, and enabling them to continue their education in a healthy way. It is aimed to present the work planned within the project as a paper in at least one national / international congress. It is aimed to publish in journals within the scope of SCI, SCI-Expanded related to the research area. The results and outputs of the research will be shared in various media (Kırklareli University and Osmaniye Korkut Ata University website and social media accounts). By determining the stress, anxiety and depression status of university students who have experienced an earthquake, it will be possible to reduce their stress, anxiety and depression with EFT application. The fact that the application used is a short-term, effective and easy psychotherapy method will prevent the disruption of the normal education processes of the students. It will make an economic contribution by reducing the need for psychological drugs that may be needed to reduce the effects of the earthquake.
