Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 87 community pharmacists answered a questionnaire form about sociodemographic characteristics, public health counseling roles and barriers. The data was summarized as mean ± standard deviation and percentage. Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical data. Results: 93.1% of the community pharmacists considered that they had an active role in the protection of public health, while the percentage of those who thought they were able to realized it was 78.2%. Limited authority (63.2%), insufficient time and workload (52.6%) were the leading causes of ineffectivity of the pharmacists in public health. The causes that prevented receiving consultancy services were shame (64.4%), the education level of the client (51.7%) and gender difference between the pharmacist...

Artan yaş fonksiyonel yetersizlikler için en büyük risk faktörüdür. Yaşam süresinin uzaması ve doğum oranlarının düşmesi sonucu dünya nüfusu yaşlanmaktadır. Bilinenin aksine gelişmekte olan ülkeler, gelişmiş ülkelere göre nüfus yaşlanmasından daha çok etkilenecektir. Türkiye de hızlı yaşlanan ülkelerden birisidir. Ülkemizde yaşlı nüfus, diğer yaş gruplarına oranla, daha fazla artış göstermektedir. Türkiye'de toplam nüfus artış hızı 2013 yılında ‰13,7 iken, yaşlı nüfusun artış hızı ‰36,2'dır. Türkiye'de yaşlı nüfusun 2008-2040 yılları arasında %201 oranında artış göstereceği öngörülmektedir. Nüfusun hızla yaşlanması bazı kronik hastalıkların görülme riskini artırmakta bunun sonucu olarak da halk sağlığı için yeni ve ciddi sorunlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde 2020 yılına kadar tüm ölümlerin ¾ nün yaşlanma ile ilgili olacağı tahmin edilmektedir.

Therefore, the training received by health personnel and their experiences on this topic is important. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge and experiences of students, who were health personnel candidates, on insects and mites likely to be encountered in hospitals or on patients Methods: This study is cross-sectional. No sample selection was made and 1st-and 4th-grade students in midwifery and nursing departments constituted the universe. Independent-samples t-tests compared knowledge to identify differences by students ' experiences and education about insects and mites, χ2 tests compared frequency of correct knowledge answers according to experiences and education about insects and mites. Results: The participants stated that, in their daily lives, they mostly encountered cockroaches (77.9%) in their environment and lice (52.5%) on their bodies. In this study, the prominent finding was that both experiences and education were important in getting information on insects and mites. Students' ratio of thinking that they had sufficient knowledge on insects and mites, the ratio of recognizing insects and mites given in images, the mean scores of correct answers given to the propositions on insects and mites, and the knowledge of struggling methods were low. Conclusion: Today's changing environmental conditions have increased the risk of confronting epidemics related to insects and mites at any time. Therefore, it is highly important for health personnel, who are actively involved in epidemics and who consult the community, to receive effective training on insects and mites during the university period.
