    The Stranger at Home: Lived Experiences of Online Gambling Within the Family in Siirt, Türkiye

    Bektaş, Ahmet; Toprak, Adnan; Solmaz, Mustafa; Solmaz, Fatih; Erbaş, Sefa; İliter, Seyfettin; Parlar, Yasin

    Online gambling is a growing public health concern whose harms extend to the family, yet its familial consequences remain underexplored in contexts where gambling is illegal and extended-family ties are strong. This study examined how men who gamble online perceive gambling to affect their families in Siirt, Türkiye. Using a qualitative exploratory design, in-person semi-structured interviews with nine married or previously married men who currently or formerly gambled online (recruited via purposive and snowball sampling) were analyzed with a hybrid deductive-inductive, codebook thematic analysis (Fereday & Muir-Cochrane, 2006), informed by the six phases of Braun and Clarke (2006). Four themes were identified: entry into online gambling and the experience of addiction; the internal disintegration of the nuclear family; the household’s economic collapse and drift into crime; and the extended family, stigmatization, and the cultural framing of harm. Participants perceived gambling to erode communication and trust, dispossess the household, and displace men from the provider role, while family responses followed conventional gendered lines-disrupting the material division of roles while reactivating a traditional gender order. Distinctive contextual mechanisms emerged, including the extended family’s collective debt-clearing in exchange for religious oaths and the operation of stigma through kinship networks that threatened collective family honor. Because all participants were gamblers, the findings reflect their perceptions of family impact rather than the direct experiences of affected others. The results extend a predominantly Western evidence base and underscore the need for culturally sensitive, family-inclusive support that works with existing kinship structures while protecting those most burdened.

    Between Survival and Sacrifice: Marital Experiences of Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

    Çakmak, Seher; Karataş, Hicran

    The study aimed to explore the lived experiences of married dialysis patients on the national organ waiting list, focusing on the interplay between illness, familial roles, and societal norms. This research is a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The study involved 23 marriage-experienced hemodialysis-dependent patients (13 women, 10 men) on the national organ waiting list, recruited between August 16 and November 11, 2022. Data were collected through interviews and observations and were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses significant physical, psychological, and social burdens, particularly for hemodialysis-dependent patients. Five main themes emerged from this study: (1) When Care Becomes a Test, (2) Dealing with Social Isolation, (3) Sacrifices to Sustain the Marriage, (4) Uninvited voices, (5) Resentful but Thankful. These findings highlight the need for family-centered care that considers diverse family structures and social contexts, while also demonstrating the impact of prolonged hemodialysis (HD) and marital strain on emotional and sexual intimacy.

    Nurses’ Workplace Discrimination Experiences and Their Reflections on Career Development: A Qualitative Study

    Koroglu Kaba, Nagihan; Apaydin, Emine; Kulakaç, Nurşen

    Aim: This study was conducted to examine how nurses experience discriminatory behaviors in the workplace and how these experiences are reflected in their career development. Background: Although discrimination constitutes a significant challenge in nurses’ professional lives, qualitative research examining how these experiences influence their career development processes remains limited. Methods: This phenomenological study was conducted with nurses working in a public hospital in Turkey. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 21 nurses during the study. Participants were selected from various clinical settings through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step content analysis method. Ethics committee approval was obtained for this study. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist guided the study reporting. Results: Five main themes with seven subthemes emerged: (1) Discrimination Experiences (types of discrimination, sources of discrimination, emotions/feelings), (2) Reporting Behavior (decision and consequences of reporting, reasons for not reporting), (3) Impact of Discrimination on Career Development (supportive effect, hindering effect), (4) Coping Strategies, and (5) Suggestions for Preventing Discrimination. Discussion: These themes highlight that discrimination is a multidimensional phenomenon and that holistic approaches must be developed at emotional, structural, professional, and institutional levels to cope with it. Conclusion: For some nurses, discrimination acts as a transformative process that supports career development, while for others, it represents a significant barrier to professional advancement. Implications for Nursing/Nursing Policy: The findings highlight the need to strengthen reporting mechanisms, establish a supportive work culture, and implement inclusive institutional policies that promote career development.

    Practices of Patient Relatives Aimed at Preventing Pressure Injuries and Their Experiences of Coping with the Burden of Care: A Qualitative Study

    Ulutaşdemir, Nilgün; Ay, Halil; Göçmen, Adalet; Uzun, Sevda; Kulakaç, Nurşen

    OBJECTIVE: To determine the practices and coping experiences of the relatives of patients with pressure injuries (PIs). METHODS: The authors used a qualitative, phenomenologic research design. They interviewed 20 relatives of patients with PIs face-to-face using an in-depth semistructured interview form. The data were analyzed using the Colaizzi phenomenologic method. RESULTS: Three categories, 8 main themes, and 22 subthemes emerged from the interviews. The category of “the impact of the need for care on the lives of the patient’s relatives” was analyzed according to psychological, social, and physical effects. In the category of “practices to prevent pressure injuries,” two themes emerged: practices toward the patient and the environment. Relatives of individuals with PIs have psychological, physical, and social needs. CONCLUSIONS: Providing care to a patient with PIs has psychological, social, and physical effects on the patient’s relatives. The care burden mostly affects these caregivers negatively, and they mainly need time for themselves and moral and companion support.

    Psychosocial dimensions of being a child in women’s shelters: A phenomenological study on the experiences of battered women – A case study from Türkiye’s Northern Region

    Uzun, Sevda; Emirza, Elif Güzide

    Background: Violence against women has numerous devastating effects. Exposure to violence not only impacts women but also affects their children both physically and psychosocially. Aims: The study aimed to evaluate the psychosocial problems of children living with their mothers in women’s shelters from the mothers’ perspective with a phenomenological approach. Methods: Utilizing the phenomenological research method, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 individuals in a women’s shelter in a province in northern Türkiye. The criterion sampling method, a purposive sampling technique, was employed to select participants. Interviews continued until data saturation was achieved. All interviews were audio recorded and then transcribed, and thematic analysis was applied to analyze the data. The study adhered to the COREQ checklist for reporting. Results: The data analysis revealed four main categories (effects of violence on the mother, actions taken to protect children from violence, effects of violence and staying in a shelter on the child, and psychosocial needs for the protection of the child’s mental health in the shelter) and 10 sub-themes (psychological effects, physical effects, social effects, domestic actions, organizational actions, psychological effects, physical effects, social effects, support system, and coping). Conclusion: The study concluded that violence significantly impacted the mental, physical, and social well-being of both women and children, posing challenges to their ability to cope with the aftermath. Women exerted considerable effort in protecting their children from violence, and they needed psychosocial support to ensure the well-being of their children’s mental health during their stay in shelters.

    Ahmet Özdemir

    Afet yönetimi, kamu kurum ve kuruluşlarının, yerel yönetimlerin, özel sektörün, STK'ların ve halkın işbirliği içerisinde önceden belirlenen yetki ve sorumlulukları yerine getirebilmesi ile başarıya ulaşabilmektedir. Dünyada afet yönetimi politikaları yerelleşme eğilimine girmiş durumdadır. Bu doğrultuda yerel yönetimlerin en önemli parçası olan büyükşehir belediyelerine çok sayıda sorumluluklar düşmektedir. Bu sorumlulukları yerine getirebilmek için büyükşehir belediyelerinin mali, personel ve teknik açıdan değerlendirilmesi ve gerekli konularda desteklenmesi gerekmektedir. Ayrıca büyükşehir belediyelerine afet yönetimi ile ilgili daha fazla yetki ve sorumluluk verilerek rolleri net bir şekilde belirlenmelidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Kocaeli Büyükşehir Belediyesi'nin afetlere yönelik hizmetlerinin Kocaeli ilinde görev yapan ve afet konusunda çalışan profesyoneller gözünden değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Ölçüt örneklem yöntemi kullanılarak Kocaeli ilinde görev yapan, afet konusunda çalışan ve Kocaeli Büyükşehir Belediyesi ile ilişkisi olan profesyoneller katılımcı olarak belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen on iki katılımcı ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar gerçekleştirilip ses kaydı alınmıştır. Elde edilen verilere MAXQDA 2020 nitel veri analiz programı kullanılarak içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. İçerik analizinden 33 kategori elde edilmiş olup, bu kategoriler 7 tema altında toplanmıştır.

    Galip Usta

    Çalışma, Gölcük (1999), Van (2011) ve Elazığ (2020) depremlerinden birini yaşamış 18 yaş üstü ve çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmak isteyen 30 kişi ile görüşme şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiş olup kişilerin afet sonrası almış oldukları hizmetlerin nitel bir araştırma yöntemiyle değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında 3 adet görüşme bilgisini, 8 adet sosyo-demografik bilgiyi ve 21 adet seçilen konuyu tüm yönleriyle ölçebilecek sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu oluşturulmuştur. Görüşmeler ses kayıt cihazı ile kayıt altına alınmış, sonrasında transkripte edilerek MAXQDA 2020 nitel veri analiz programına aktarılmıştır. Daha sonra transkript belgeleri kodlanmıştır. Kodlamalardan kategorilere, kategorilerden ise temalara ulaşılmıştır. Depremler özelinde 21 adet tema oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma bulgularına göre birçok alanda önemli adımların atıldığı ve iyileştirmelerin yapıldığı görülmektedir. Özellikle sağlık, barınma, beslenme, arama-kurtarma gibi alanlarda ciddi ivme kazanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Afet durumlarında kurumların daha hızlı organize olabildiği saptanmıştır. Katılımcılar, deprem afetinde sunulan hizmetler ile sonraki aşamalarda gerçekleştirilen iyileştirme çalışmalarında devlet desteğinin oldukça göze çarptığını ifade etmişlerdir. Psikososyal destek, KBRN, hayvanların korunması ve kontrolü noktasında sunulan hizmetlerin geliştirilmeye ihtiyaç duydukları tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; Gölcük (1999) depreminden itibaren afet yönetimi açısından önemli adımların atıldığı ve ciddi iyileştirmelerin yapıldığı söylenebilir. Vatandaşların duyarlılığının arttırılması ile birlikte kurumların yenileşmeye uyum sağlamalarının afet yönetimi politikalarının radikal şekilde uygulanabilirliğine olumlu katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

    Integrated Reporting and Combined Assurance: A Qualitative Research on the Awareness in Turkey*

    Selimoglu, Seval Kardes; Yesilcelebi, Gul

    Purpose: The aim of this study is to reveal the opinions of the auditors, academicians, and institutions that published integrated reports regarding the development and execution of the assurance process of integrated reports. Design/methodology/approach: For this purpose, interviews were conducted using qualitative research technique to determine awareness about integrated reporting and combined assurance. Within the scope of the research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six auditors, five academicians, and five workers in institutions that published integrated reports. Qualitative data analysis method was used to analyze the data. Findings: As a result of the research, combined assurance process criteria were proposed in the integrated reports which in line with the opinions of the participants. Originality/value: Institutions around the world are increasingly publishing integrated reports. However, when institutions publish integrated reports, there is no clear standard or any guidance on how to ensure the reliability of these reports. It is seen that AA1000, ISAE3000, GRI Standards, and some local standards are used to provide assurance. At this point, the combined assurance model can be used for the reliability of the information in the integrated reports. Integrated reporting and combined assurance are still relatively new concepts in Turkey. Furthermore, this study is important in terms of the lack of studies on how to provide combined assurance for integrated report when scanned related literature in Turkey. Although readily integrated reporting continued in Turkey, it continues to be an area of application is still under development. In particular, the research reflects the level of integrated reporting awareness and how to ensure assurance of these reports.
