- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ1Secondary Traumatic Stress and Coping Experiences in Psychiatric Nurses Caring for Trauma Victims: A Phenomenological Study
Gülirmak Güler, Kübra; Uzun, Sevda; Emirza, Elif Güzide
Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the secondary traumatic stress and coping experiences of psychiatric nurses who care for people who have experienced psychological trauma with a phenomenological approach. Materials and Methods: In this study, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 psychiatric nurses residing in Turkey using the phenomenological research method. The criterion sampling method was used to reach the sample group. Interviews continued until data saturation was achieved, and all interviews were audio-recorded and then transcribed. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The study was conducted and reported using the COREQ checklist. Findings: In the analysis of the data, three themes (difficulties in caring for people who have experienced trauma, the effects of caring for people who have experienced trauma on the individual and coping, reflections of secondary trauma on the profession) and seven sub-themes (mental, physical, social, psychosocial difficulties and coping, quality of care, professional and organisational aspects) were identified. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that secondary traumatic stress was observed in psychiatric nurses caring for individuals who experienced psychological trauma. It was determined that caring for people who have experienced psychological trauma can negatively affect nurses psychosocially, and individuals have difficulty coping. In line with the results of the study, it is thought that necessary intervention programs should be created for nurses experiencing secondary traumatic stress.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ1The Memory Destruction and Reconstruction Games within the Scope of Persianization Politics in Iran
Dinç, Artum
This research examines how collective memory management has influenced the images, symbols, historical artifacts, names, and language of Turkish culture in Iran since 1925 and how Turks for anti-discrimination have responded. This study employed a qualitative research model, with data collected through a relevant literature review and interviews. The sample was selected from Turks who have expressed reactions to the Persianization process. The findings were obtained through open and axial coding of the collected data and an inductive inquiry strategy. The findings revealed that, in line with the assimilation (Persianization) policies implemented in Iran, historiography and memory management practices based on Persian nationalism have been perpetuated against Turkish identity and its collective memory. This process is carried out by erasure, forgetting, amnesia, annulment, obsoletion, abandoning, humiliating, and banning symbolic representations, historical artifacts, names, and the language belonging to Turkish culture. The findings also demonstrated that Turks have not remained passive in the face of these practices but have actively sought to commemorate and preserve their language, names, historical events, artifacts, and heroes through artistic events, ceremonies, sports competitions, new media, legal channels and protests. From the selective coding of the findings, it can be concluded that the management of collective memory based on essentialist, monist, exclusionary and supremacist Persian nationalism are nowadays being questioned and debated in intellectual discussion, political competition and everyday life scenes. It can be concluded that the attitude of the political authority is not towards recognizing ethnonational diversity and their rights in Iran, but towards maintaining uncertainty.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of a musical intervention during computed tomography (CT) on fear, anxiety and vital signs of children. Method: This randomized, double-blind controlled trial was conducted according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Studies (CONSORT) guidelines. The study sample included children aged between 6 and 10 years who met the inclusion criteria and underwent CT scan in the emergency department of a public hospital in eastern Turkey between 18 April and 20 May 2023. The research was completed with a total of 60 children, randomized to one of two groups. The nursing intervention of the study was playing music. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the Child and Family Information Form, the Children's Fear Scale (CFS), Children's Anxiety Meter-State (CAM-S) and the Vital Signs Monitoring Form (pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation). Ethical principles were followed in the research. Results: The level of fear, anxiety, pulse rate and respiratory rate of the children in the musical intervention group during CT scanning were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). No difference was found between the groups in terms of oxygen saturation (p < 0.05). Conclusion and Recommendations for Implementation: The results of this study suggest that musical intervention during CT scanning in children is effective in reducing the level of fear and anxiety and stabilizing vital signs. By using such nonpharmacologic methods, nurses can provide support to children and alleviate emotional difficulties during procedures. Trial Registration: NCT06086509. Summary: What is already known about this topic? Music therapy is recognized as an effective nonpharmacologic intervention to reduce fear and anxiety in paediatric patients undergoing medical procedures. Previous studies have shown that musical intervention during CT scans can calm children, potentially reducing the need for sedation and improving compliance. Knowledge gaps remain regarding the specific effects of music on physiological parameters like pulse and respiratory rates during paediatric CT scans. What this paper adds? This study demonstrates that musical intervention during CT scans significantly reduces fear and anxiety levels in children aged 6–10 years. The research findings show that music intervention can also stabilize vital signs, such as pulse and respiratory rates, during CT scans, suggesting a relaxed physiological state. The results support the idea that incorporating music into paediatric imaging procedures can enhance patient comfort and improve the quality of the imaging process by encouraging children to remain still. The implications of this paper: Incorporating music therapy into routine paediatric imaging procedures can reduce anxiety, improve patient cooperation and potentially reduce the need for sedatives. Future research could explore the optimal types of music, volume levels and delivery methods to maximize the calming effects on children during various medical procedures. Training programs for paediatric healthcare providers can include education on the benefits of nonpharmacologic interventions, like music therapy, to reduce anxiety and improve patient outcomes in clinical settings.

AZ31 magnesium alloy is one of the lightweight metallic engineering materials that are widely used in many industrial areas such as aviation, space, automobile and electronics industries, biomedical applications, where structural weight reduction is at the forefront of design principles. This study focuses on the growth of MgO and MgO:B5H10NaO13 doped oxide coatings on the surface of AZ31 magnesium alloy by micro arc oxidation (MAO) method in order to improve its usage areas and lifetime in industrial applications, and to investigate the structural, morphological, adhesion and corrosion properties of the grown coatings. In the study, MgO coatings were grown by MAO method and MgO:B5H10NaO13 doped composite oxide coatings were grown by adding sodium pentaborate (B5H10NaO13) nanoparticles into the electrolytic solution in MAO method. The phase structure of the grown coatings was determined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), microstructure by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and chemical composition by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The hardness of MgO and MgO:B5H10NaO13 doped composite oxide coatings were determined by microhardness tester, the adhesion resistance with the base material was determined by Scratch Tester and the corrosion resistance was determined by potentiodynamic polarization tester. As a result, it was observed that dense and homogeneous coatings were grown on the surfaces of particle-added (MgO:B5H10NaO13) coatings, that porosity and pore sizes on the surfaces of the coatings were reduced, that microcracks were reduced, and that coatings with high bond strength with the base material were grown. It was also determined that the corrosion resistance of the coatings with particle addition (MgO:B5H10NaO13) was higher than the corrosion resistance of the coatings without particle addition (MgO).

Aktepe Coşar, Dilan; Demirağ, Hatice
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the ergonomic conditions of the work environment and the perception of safety climate among internal medicine nurses. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between October 30, 2023, and January 30, 2024, with a total of 440 internal medicine nurses in Turkey using the “snowball sampling” method. Data were collected using the “Personal Information Form,” the “Workplace Ergonomics Scale for Nurses,” and the “Safety Climate Scale.”. Results: A statistically significant difference was found in the mean scores of the “Workplace Ergonomics Scale for Nurses” based on marital status, educational level, perceived workload, and whether the nurses had received occupational safety training (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in the scale scores based on gender, professional experience, or satisfaction with the work environment (p > 0.05). A significant difference was also identified in the mean scores of the “Safety Climate Scale” according to gender, educational level, professional experience, satisfaction with the work environment, and occupational safety training status (p < 0.05). A significant negative correlation was found between the scores of the “Workplace Ergonomics Scale for Nurses” and its subdimensions and the safety training subdimension scores. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Conclusion: In conclusion, improving ergonomic conditions, strengthening managerial support, establishing effective safety communication, and promoting continuous education are recommended as key strategies to ensure that nurses work in a safe and supportive environment. Additionally, implementing tailored interventions based on demographic and professional characteristics may contribute to the development of a safety culture in nursing and the improvement of patient care quality.

Malik, Ihyani; Karimullah, Suud Sarim; Okur, Hüseyin; Rahman
The ecological crisis reflects the failure of ethical relations between humans, nature, and power structures, thus demanding a review of the paradigm of domination that underlies these relations. This study analyzed how the principles of Islamic law can be integrated with the ideas of ecofeminism to create more inclusive and sustainable environmental policies. The study used an intersectional approach with comprehensive literature analysis and gender analysis frameworks to understand how social identity affects women's participation in ecofeminism and environmental protection based on Islamic law principles. The results of the study state that the integration of the principles of ecofeminism and Islamic law has excellent potential to create fair and sustainable environmental policies based on justice (‘adl), balance (mizan), and responsibility (khalifah). The concept of khalifah affirms the role of humans as custodians of the earth, provides a theological reason to support environmental conservation and inspires collective responsibility, including the role of women as essential agents. Programs that give women access to land and natural resources increase their participation in agriculture and environmental management, reduce poverty, and strengthen their role as agents of change. However, challenges such as resistance from patriarchal communities, lack of financial and technical support, and the need for ongoing education and training must be overcome. Technology also plays a crucial role in supporting inclusive and sustainable environmental policies.

Şimşek, Tuğçe
This chapter examines the conceptual framework of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the organisational context in terms of human-machine collaboration in three dimensions: supportive, collaborative, and autonomous AI models. A literature review integrates theoretical approaches on employee perceptions, acceptance and resistance processes, and the role of organisational culture in adaptation, establishing connections between performance, motivation, and psychosocial effects. Ethical dimensions are evaluated in the context of autonomy, privacy, and fairness, and the potential consequences of AI on work-life balance and role ambiguity are revealed. The findings point to a lack of empirical research despite conceptual richness and suggest the development of measurement tools with both descriptive and experimental designs. The chapter provides a roadmap for future applied research while emphasising the importance of clarifying strategic decision-making processes related to AI adaptation in an organisational context.

In this study, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and quarry rock dust (RD), both industrial and natural mineral wastes were used as binder materials in geopolymer concrete. The influence of these mineral admixtures on the concrete’s durability under aggressive environmental conditions was investigated. Steel, polyester, and hybrid fibers were incorporated at volume fractions of 0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1.0% to further enhance durability performance. Freeze-thaw and sulfate resistance tests were carried out to evaluate the effects of fiber type and content on the durability behavior of the geopolymer concrete. The test results showed that the mineral waste-based binder system itself offered considerable durability while the addition of fibers significantly improved resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and sulfate attacks. Among all types, the geopolymer concrete with 0.5% polyester fiber exhibited the highest resistance to freeze-thaw while hybrid fiber usage provided a balanced enhancement across both test environments.

The use of the internet has become an increasingly integral part of individuals’ daily lives, bringing negative consequences such as internet addiction. Understanding the motivations behind internet use is crucial for preventing addiction and developing effective intervention strategies. The objectives of this study are to test the validity and reliability of the Questionnaire of Internet Use Motives (MUI) among Turkish adults and to investigate the predictive effects of socio-demographic variables and internet use motivations on internet addiction. The study was conducted with a sample of 640 adults selected through convenience sampling at two different time points. The majority of participants were women, highly educated, and from a middle socioeconomic background. Data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Questionnaire of Internet Use Motives (MUI), and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). To evaluate the structural validity of the scale, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed. Additionally, measurement invariance across genders was examined, and Hierarchical Multiple Linear Regression Analyses were conducted to identify predictors of internet addiction. CFA confirmed the structural validity of the MUI, revealing a five-factor structure with a good fit to the data. The five identified motives were enhancement, coping, social, conformity, and utility. The analyses also demonstrated that the scale possesses convergent and discriminant validity, as well as high reliability. Furthermore, the instrument exhibited measurement invariance across genders. Significant predictors of internet addiction included educational level, socioeconomic status, and the enhancement, social, coping, and conformity motives. The validated MUI provides a robust tool for assessing internet use motives in Turkish adults, offering a foundation for future research and intervention development. Addressing psychological motives such as enhancement, social, coping, and conformity in prevention and treatment strategies may reinforce efforts to mitigate problematic internet use.

Furthermore, the bread dough samples employed in bread production were subjected to microbiological analyses. It was determined that the number of microorganisms in the sourdough samples used in the production of Gümüşhane bread was high (P<0.001). In this context, breads sold in the Gümüşhane province were collected and subjected to a series of analyses. These included chemical, microbiological, colour and HMF analyses of the bread samples. As a result of microbiological analyses performed on bread samples; It was observed that there were statistical differences in terms of lactic acid bacteria on MRS agar and yeast-mold counts. However, based on the chemical analyses performed on the bread samples, it was determined that there were statistically significant differences between the bread samples. The resulting data were then subjected to statistical analyses, with the objective of determining the differences between the bread samples. This was achieved through the use of PCA analysis, which also enabled the determination of the significance levels of these differences. In addition, the relationship between the colour values of the bread samples and the amount of HMF was also investigated in this study. The findings indicated that as the L* and b* colour values decreased, the HMF content of the bread samples increased. In this study, it was determined that Kürtün-Araköy and Gümüşhane breads have distinctive characteristics.

Kiymis, Ibrahim; Yuce, Damla Nur
Healthcare workers (HCWs) serve as the cornerstone of health services, which are among the primary needs during disasters. The chaotic environment caused by disasters can lead to mental health disorders in HCWs, similar to those experienced by disaster victims. Experiencing mental health disorders can hinder HCW’s professional approach to intervention. HCWs should not be overlooked for the possibility of experiencing mental health disorders while providing healthcare services during disasters. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of psychological resilience and trauma exposure on PTSD, depression, and sleep disorders among HCWs involved in the Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes, which were Turkey’s most devastating earthquakes. In this quantitative research, a survey technique was employed, reaching 642 hCWs involved in the Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test the impact of variables on each other. According to the SEM results, trauma exposure in the HCWs had a significant and positive effect on PTSD (β=+0.899, p = 0.000), depression (β=+0.685, p = 0.000), and sleep disorders (β=+0.603, p = 0.000). Psychological resilience had a significant and negative effect on PTSD (β=−0.278, p = 0.004) and depression (β=−0.322, p = 0.008). Surprisingly, psychological resilience had a significant and positive effect on sleep disorders (β=+0.692, p = 0.000). In conclusion, while trauma exposure led to PTSD, depression, and sleep disorders in the HCWs, psychological resilience mitigated PTSD and depression. Unexpectedly, psychological resilience increased sleep disorders. For this reason, it is recommended that future studies investigate in detail the reasons why HCWs experience sleep disorders and examine them in depth.

- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ1Advancing sea level anomaly modeling in the black sea with LSTM Auto-Encoders: A novel approach
Yavuzdoğan, A.; Tanir Kayıkçı, E.
Rising sea levels pose significant risks to coastal communities and ecosystems. Accurate modeling of sea level changes is crucial for effective environmental management and disaster mitigation. Machine learning methods are emerging as an important asset in improving sea level predictions and understanding the impacts of climate change. Especially, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models have emerged as a powerful tool for sea level anomaly modeling, but there is an increasing need for more advanced models in this area. This study enhances existing methodologies by introducing a novel approach using an LSTM Auto-Encoder model, designed to compress input data into a lower-dimensional latent space before reconstructing it, thereby capturing complex temporal dependencies and anomalies effectively. We compared LSTM Auto-Encoder model performance with that of a Stacked LSTM network, which learns complex temporal patterns through multiple layers, and a traditional damped-persistence statistical model. Our results demonstrate that the LSTM Auto-Encoder model not only outperformed these models in predicting sea level anomalies across various lead times but also exhibited superior generalization capabilities across both satellite altimeter and in-situ data. These findings highlight the potential of the LSTM Auto-Encoder model as a powerful tool in coastal management and climate change studies, underscoring the critical role of advanced machine learning techniques in enhancing our predictive abilities and informing disaster preparedness strategies.
