Research Interest

My research interests encompass a diverse range of topics within public health. These include investigating anxiety levels in surgical patients, with a particular focus on understanding diabetic foot ulcer risk factors and exploring self-medication practices among allied healthcare professionals. Additionally, I am intrigued by the correlation between maternal dietary patterns and fetal heart assessments, as well as the calculation of Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Lastly, my Master's thesis delves into the analysis of gut microbiota and its implications in colorectal patients.
