Kazak, Aysun; Türkmen, Osman Oğulcan; Topalı, Hasret
Bu araştırma temel olarak önlisans sağlık programları öğrencilerinin Yapay Zeka (YZ) okuryazarlık düzeyini belirlemek için yapılmıştır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte olup, araştırmanın verileri Kasım-Aralık 2024 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’de bulunan iki farklı devlet üniversitedeki 1446 sağlık hizmetleri meslek yüksekokulu sağlık bölümleri birinci ve ikinci sınıf öğrencileri ile internet ortamı aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada kapsamında analiz edilen veri kümeleri için toplama araçları olarak “Birey Tanıtım Formu” ve “Yapay Zekâ Okuryazarlık Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin “Yapay Zekâ Okuryazarlık Ölçeği (YZOÖ)” bağlamında aldıkları puan ortalamasının beklenen ortalama puanın üzerinde olduğu görülmüştür. 20 yaş ve altı ile 21-30 yaş arasındaki öğrenciler, 31 yaş ve üstü öğrencilere göre daha yüksek toplam puanlar alırken; ilk ve acil yardım programındaki öğrenciler de yaşlı bakımı programındaki öğrencilere göre daha yüksek puanlar almıştır. İnterneti en çok karma kullananlar, sağlık bakanlığı/hastane sitelerini ziyaret edenlere göre daha yüksek toplam puanlar elde etmiştir. Teknolojik cihaz kullanımı becerileri açısından ise çok iyi ve iyi seviyedeki öğrenciler, diğer seviyelere göre daha yüksek toplam puanlar almışlardır. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda, YZ teknolojilerinin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için eğitimciler tarafından müfredata alınarak öğretilmesinin YZ okuryazarlık düzeyine katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate self-efficacy and health literacy of patients undergoing hemodialysis, to investigate the relationship between health literacy and self-efficacy, and to determine the factors affecting self-efficacy. Methods: The study was conducted in Eskisehir and Gumushane state hospitals affiliated to the Public Hospitals Association with the participation of 198 patients receiving hemodialysis treatment for chronic renal failure. The inclusion criteria were as follows: being ⩾18 years old, receiving hemodialysis, and agreeing to participate in the study. The study data were collected using face-to-face interview technique, and they were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 59.73 ± 16.32 years. Of the patients, 46% were primary school graduates, and 63.6% reported having other chronic diseases. The mean health literacy and self-efficacy scores were found to be 79.43 ± 26.09 and 23.98 ± 7.42, respectively. The results showed that the self-efficacy scores of the patients increased as the general health literacy scores increased, with a strong linear correlation between these variables (r = 0.712; p ˂ 0.001). Patients with advanced age, low educational level, and widowed patients had lower self-efficacy and health literacy scores than others (respectively eta2 = 0.263, 0.116, 0.268, 0.141). Conclusion: High score of health literacy positively affects the self-efficacy score of hemodialysis patients.

INTRODUCTION: This study is carried out to determine the health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors of university students studying in health-related departments. METHODS: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out between February and May 2020. The research was completed with 1086 students studying and accepting to participate the research in health-related departments at three different state universities. During collecting the data, “Questionnaire Form”, Health Literacy Scale” and “The Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II” are used. RESULTS: The average score of the students from Turkish Health Literacy Scale was 36.2 ± 8.3 and 41.3% of them have sufficient health literacy. The students' “Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II” mean score is 125,3 ± 24,0 and is at an intermediate level. It was observed that some characteristics such as gender, income level, perception of health, education status of parents, the faculty and department of education were effective on the scores obtained by the students from the scales. It has been determined that individuals with high health literacy scores have more healthy lifestyle behaviors. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is of great importance to increase the level of health literacy in students studying health sciences in order to develop and maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Kazak, Aysun; Ozkaraman, Ayse
Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on pain in patients with sickle cell disease. Materials-Method: This randomized controlled interventional study was conducted in a hospital in Mersin, Turkey between October 2017 and July 2018. The study sample comprised 58 patients who were aged >18 years, conscious, had sickle cell disease, reported pain, and were treated with non-opioid or weak opioid analgesic based on the physician's recommendation (treatment group = 29, control group = 29). Data were collected by the individual presentation form and visual analog scale. During the study, both groups were treated with analgesics prescribed by the physician for three days. In addition to the analgesics, the treatment group was performed progressive muscle relaxation exercises for 30 minutes whereas the control group was rested. Pain level of both groups was evaluated at three time points every day for three days. In the study, frequency distributions and descriptive statistics were presented for categorical and numerical variables, respectively. Chi-square analysis, independent samples t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, three-way ANOVA, and Sidak test were used to analyze the difference between the variables. Results: The mean age of the patients was 29.59 ± 6.94 years, and 53.4% of the patients were female and 69% were single. The mean pain score of the treatment group at the third time point on days 1, 2, and 3 was significantly lower than the control group (p <.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of coping methods for pain, pain location, and complaints accompanying pain (p >.05). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation exercises were found to be effective in the pain management of patients with sickle cell anemia.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of iron, vitamin D and multivitamin supplement usage among pregnant women and the factors associated with it. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 15, 2018 and September 30, 2018 among a total of 400 pregnant women by the questionnaire form consisted of 27 questions. Hemoglobin values below 11g/dl were considered as anemia. Results: The mean age of the pregnant women was 28.2±5.2 years, and 170 (42.5%) of them had anemia. Among the pregnant women, 302 (75.5%) had been recommended to use iron, 208 (52.0%) had been recommended to use Vit D and 308 (77.0%) had been recommended to use multivitamin. Among the pregnant women 250 (62.5%) of them use iron, 146 (36.5%) of them use vitamin D and 262 (65.5%) of them use multivitamin. Conclusion: Although programs for iron and vitamin D have been carried out for many years, the use of vitamin D and iron in pregnant women were not at the desired level. Although there is not a routine recommendation, multivitamin use during pregnancy was found to be quite common.

Hintistan, Sevilay; Kazak, Aysun
The emergence of the new pathogenic viral strains is a constant threat to global health. The latest new coronavirus strain coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) is the best-known example of this. COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV-2 virus has quickly spread around the globe. The applications of drug and vaccine practices, and the identification of potential candidates are of high importance against this pandemic. On healthy adults, a proper evaluation of potential vaccines in parallel with vaccination studies on animal models and an enlargement of production capacity will benefit minimum risk and accelerated COVID-19 vaccine studies for human subjects. The purpose of this review is to contribute to the analysis of vaccine development strategies, vaccine development stages, phase studies and the difficulties, production stages and current status of potential vaccine studies developed to prevent COVID-19.
