Health awareness for students

Provincial Directorate of Health Yıldızkent Healthy Life Center team participated in the Student Communities and Clubs Promotion Festival organized by Erzurum Technical University.

Many activities were carried out in the event area, including students. Information about primary health care services and healthy life centers carried out by the Provincial Directorate of Health was provided with posters and brochures.

The importance of active life was emphasized by the physiotherapist with warm-up exercises, simple exercises that can work the shoulder, arm and back areas. The dietitian made recommendations on proper and healthy nutrition based on the measurements she had made. A “Motivation Wheel” was used to help students gain a positive perspective on life. An area was created where students could ask questions and get advice from psychologists.

Information was provided on coping with behavioral addictions and psychosocial risk factors (violence, abuse, mental problems in the family, poverty, etc.). The harms of tobacco use were explained as part of the fight against addiction. Students who smoked were measured with a carbon monoxide meter, informed and directed to smoking cessation outpatient clinics. The Child, Adolescent, Women and Reproductive Health Unit provided information about the activities offered for women, mothers, children and adolescents. The Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening and Education Center (KETEM) Unit provided information on cancer screenings for appropriate age ranges.
