The aim of the study was to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on posttraumatic growth and to identify the influential factors. Quantitative method was used. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Permissions were obtained before the research. The sample size was calculated with the formula t2xs2/d2. After the calculation, 106 people who consented to participate in the study were reached. Data were collected by convenience sampling method. The mean age of the participants was 31.61 ± 11.05 years. 58.5% of the participants were female and 44.3% were married. The rate of those who said they had a high income was 9.4%. More than half of the participants stated that they experienced anxiety due to the pandemic, and more than half stated that they had this disease at home. Those who reported that they were not currently working, those who thought that their mental health was affected, and those who reported experiencing anxiety due to the pandemic had higher scores on the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Posttraumatic growth and its sub-dimensions were found to make a difference in terms of some sociodemographic characteristics. Repeating this research in different cultural societies will be decisive and clarifying in terms of results.

Objectives: Smoking is an important public health issue in Turkey. This study set out to investigate the smoking prevalence among first and fourth grade university students as well as the associated socio-demographic variables. Material And Methods: A survey was carried out by the International Children's Centre (ICC) in the faculties of Science and Literature, Education and Medicine of nine Turkish Universities to determine the knowledge and life styles of the 1st and 4th grade university students in adolescence (2009). A total of 5.221 students were evaluated. Data were analysed using SPPS 16.0-9907290 statistical package program. Results: The first grade students with illiterate mothers (23.0%), those who were living alone at home (37.7%) and those who considered receiving inadequate pocket money (24.9%) had a higher level of smoking prevalence (p<0.05). The fourth grade students with illiterate mothers (34.9%), those who were living with their friends (34.0%), those who perceived their economic situation bad (37.7%) and those who considered receiving inadequate pocket money (36.3%) had a higher level of smoking prevalence (p<0.05). Conclusion: A relationship between smoking habits of university students and some socio-demographic characteristics was found. We believe that more priority should be given to health promotion interventions among university students, especially among those of low socioeconomic status. On the other hand, in order to monitor the efficacy of smoking-related interventions among young people, there is a need for early detection of young individuals who are at risk and urgent interventions should be carried out.
