Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipteki araştırmanın evrenini bir üniversite hastanesinin çeşitli birimlerinde çalışan 50 doktor, 100 hemşire toplam 150 çalışan oluşturmuştur. Çalışmaya gönüllü 97 sağlık çalışanı katılmıştır. Veriler "Sağlık Çalışanı Tanıtım Formu, COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve El Hijyeni Uygulamaları Envanteri" ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kadın çalışanların COVID-19 korku ve el hijyeni uygulama düzeyi puan ortalamaları erkeklere göre daha yüksek saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Eğitim düzeyine göre COVID-19 korku puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Eğitim düzeyine göre el hijyeni uygulamalarını yapma düzeyi puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır (p > 0.05). El hijyeni sonrası çalışanların %96.9'u en az bir sorun yaşadığını ifade etmiştir. COVID-19 korkusu ile el hijyeni uygulamalarını yapma düzeyi arasında çok zayıf düzeyde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (r =0.224; p<0.05). Sonuç: Bu araştırma el yıkama uygulamalarının ve COVID-19 korkusunun cinsiyet özelliğinden etkilendiğini, sık el yıkama, el dezenfektanı kullanımının cilt sorunlarında rol oynadığını göstermektedir.

A total of 662 students, 328 from the Faculty of Nurse Education and 334 from the Faculty of Medicine, participated in the present descriptive and cross-sectional study.Data were collected using Data Form for socio-demographic characteristicsand Ageism Attitude Scale (AAS). Descriptive statistics, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, One-Way ANOVA, and Kruskal Wallis test were used to evaluate the data using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (Version 20.0).Nursing school students had higher points in “restricting the life of elderly people”, “positive discrimination towards them” and Ageism Attitude Scale, but had lower points in “negative discrimination towards them” compared to medical school students. While the points of “positive discrimination towards elderly” and Ageism Attitude Scale of the students of two schools were not significantly different (p>0.05), points of “restricting the life of elderly people” and “negative discrimination towards elderly” varied significantly between the students of two schools (p

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the barriers and facilitators of elderly women as regards to the cervical cancer early detection behaviors. Method: Qualitative research method was used. Data of 21 elderly women that were collected via in-depth individual interviews were assessed by the content analysis based on Champion's Health Belief Model and Pender's Health Promotion Model. Results: Sensitivity areas perceived in the participation of elderly women to the cervical cancer early detection behaviors were determined as "possibility of having cancer and presence of symptoms" and related barriers were determined as "lack of knowledge, embarrassment/privacy, previous health service experience, fear, elderliness" while health motivation was found as "wish of detecting the health problem early and being healthy" and perceived facilitators were found as "encouragement and information by the health personnel, interactions between people". Conclusion: In compliance with both models, results demonstrate that perceived barriers constitute an important variable in the cervical cancer early detection behaviors. These results may provide a useful framework to the health professionals in preparing training and consultancy services aimed at increasing the early detection behaviors of elderly women and planning the health services.

Her ne sebeple olursa olsun göç olgusu, göç öncesi, göç sırası ve sonrasında hem göçü yapan kişi/kişiler hem de göç edilen yerlerde yaşayanlar için pek çok ruhsal sorunlara neden olabilmektedir.

Methods: It is a descriptive study consisted of 366 pregnants admitted to hospital for childbirth in gynecology and obstetrics clinics of a public hospital or a university hospital. Data were collected with individual information form and question form of herbal product use in pregnancy. We conducted number, percentage, chi-square analyses. Results: It was determined that 47.3% of the women had used at least one herbal product during pregnancy; the relationship between education level, working status, family structure, and status of herbal product use is statistically significant (p < .05). Linden, peppermint-lemon, ginger are the first three herbs used due to common cold-influenza frequently in pregnancy during 1st and 2nd trimesters. More than half of the pregnants stated that they had started herbal product use without any suggestions from anyone, and profoundly low healthcare professional suggestion was detected. Conclusion: Our study has showed that almost half of women use at least one herbal product during pregnancy. So few healthcare professionals give information to pregnants thereabout. Thus, providing information in general health education to pregnant women about benefits and damages of herbal product use, planning researchers on effectiveness of herbal products, assessment of healthcare professionals relating to the matter and provision of available guidelines and in-service education relating to herbal products that can be used during pregnancy may be suggested.

This research aimed to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 anxiety and the spiritual orientation of individuals aged 65 and over in nursing homes and elderly care centers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. The findings showed that with increasing age, coronavirus anxiety levels decrease, and spiritual orientation increases. There was a negative relationship between the time of diagnosis of COVID-19 and coronavirus anxiety (r = − .48; p = 0.01). Those diagnosed with COVID-19 had higher coronavirus anxiety levels (U = 374.5; p < 0.001) and had lower spiritual orientation (U = 593.5; p > 0.05). As spiritual orientation increases in elderly individuals, their level of anxiety decreases.

This research aimed to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 anxiety and the spiritual orientation of individuals aged 65 and over in nursing homes and elderly care centers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. The findings showed that with increasing age, coronavirus anxiety levels decrease, and spiritual orientation increases. There was a negative relationship between the time of diagnosis of COVID-19 and coronavirus anxiety (r = − .48; p = 0.01). Those diagnosed with COVID-19 had higher coronavirus anxiety levels (U = 374.5; p < 0.001) and had lower spiritual orientation (U = 593.5; p > 0.05). As spiritual orientation increases in elderly individuals, their level of anxiety decreases.
