Purpose: This study was designed to examine the metaphorical perceptions and cognitive structures of aged individuals with chronic diseases towards death. Methods: The research was conducted as a qualitative study based on metaphor analysis. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form that investigated the metaphorical perceptions of 15 individuals with chronic diseases towards death and a form that was asked to be explained with drawing technique. In the semi-structured interview form “Death is like … because …”, metaphor expression was included, and in the other part “Describe your thoughts about death with drawings”, the form containing the expression was used. The data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. The study was conducted and reported according to the COREQ checklist. Results: It was determined that the old individuals with chronic diseases who participated in the study produced 4 metaphors with the writing technique and 4 metaphors with the drawing technique. As metaphors, the themes of end of life and a new beginning, extinction and feeling of emptiness, journey of life, salvation and reunion were determined. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that old individuals with chronic diseases had anxiety about death. In addition, it was determined that old individuals had negative and positive cognitive schemas about death. In this context, old individuals with chronic diseases may need psychosocial support systems.

Maraşlioğlu, Şerife Ericek; Kartopu, Saffet
In February 2023, two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.7 and 7.6 in magnitude struck 11 provinces, with their epicenter in Kahramanmaraş. These earthquakes have been described as the most significant disaster of the century, resulting in extensive structural damage and numerous casualties. Those who survived the earthquake faced death and experienced traumatic events. Concepts such as death are sensitive and complex, making them challenging to express without linguistic support. In this context, individuals often prefer to communicate their thoughts and feelings-essentially their abstract self-experience-through metaphorical expressions. This study aims to identify earthquake victims' metaphorical perceptions of death through qualitative and quantitative phenomenological and correlation analyses. The sample of the study consists of earthquake victims residing in Kahramanmaraş who were directly affected by the earthquakes of February 6, 2023, aged 18 and over, and who volunteered to participate in the interview, determined by purposive sampling. For the implementation of the study, ethical approval was obtained from the Gümüşhane University Rectorate, reference number 2024/3. A total of 291 participants voluntarily took part in the study. Data were collected using a semi-structured metaphorical perception form that included the prompt “Death is like/similar to…” along with sociodemographic variables. The data obtained were analysed using coding and categorisation methods to examine patterns and relationships of meaning in line with the research objectives. The findings revealed that participants generated 88 distinct valid metaphors related to the concept of death. Notably, participants focused on the metaphors of “end,” “restart,” and “gift,” while the category with the fewest metaphors was "reckoning time".

Ediz, Çiçek; Uzun, Sevda
Objective: This study aimed to explore the metaphorical perceptions and cognitive structures of Turkish nursing students related to the impact of the global climate crisis on their profession. Methods: Researchers adopted a qualitative approach centered on metaphor analysis and involved 40 Turkish nursing students enrolled in programs in Türkiye during October 2023. Using metaphor analysis and techniques involving writing and drawing, the study uncovered how these students perceive and cognitively structure the influence of the global climate crisis on their nursing careers. The interview form featured the metaphor expression “The reflection of the global climate crisis on nursing is like … because …,” while the drawing component prompted students to determine their perspectives on the climate crisis's impact on nursing through concept drawings. The research adhered to the COREQ checklist. Results: The study revealed that nursing students generated 22 metaphors each through written and drawing techniques. Written metaphors were grouped into five categories: psychosocial challenges faced by nurses, patient populations, diseases and coping, burdens on the health system, and the growing importance of various fields within nursing. Drawing technique metaphors were grouped into four categories: nurses and the difficulties they face, the impact of the global climate crisis on the world, the impact of the global climate crisis on the healthcare sector, and the roles and responsibilities of nurses. Conclusions: While nursing students expressed diverse opinions, their concerns about the reflection of the global climate crisis on nursing yielded similar emotional responses. Metaphors are mostly focused on psychosocial challenges faced by nurses, the patient population, diseases, and coping mechanisms. The findings underscored nursing students’ concerns about the global climate crisis's impact on both their profession and the broader community.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2024Scopus SJRQ2Understanding the concept of energy through definitions, drawings, and metaphors
Başkan Takaoğlu, Zeynep
Energy is a concept frequently encountered both in daily life and in various disciplines. Despite such a wide range of scope, conceptualizing it might be challenging at times. This study aims to investigate high school students’ views on the concept of energy through a set of various paper-and-pencil tests. For this purpose, 654 high school students from the ninth, 10th, and 11th grades were asked to explain the concept of energy using definitions, drawings, and metaphors. According to the results, the students had similar misconceptions about their definitions, drawings, and metaphors. However, situations from everyday life were depicted, particularly in drawings and metaphors. Misconceptions decreased considerably in the upper classes, and answers were presented that were close to scientific knowledge, suggesting that, over time, students’ abstract thinking skills improve, the knowledge gained at school contributes to explaining the situations in daily life scientifically, and scientific facts are conceptualized.
