  Karadeniz, Havva; Duran Yılmaz, Seçil; Erkuran, Hatun

  Objective: This study aimed to validate and ensure the reliability of the Turkish version of the Vitality Questionnaire, which captures traits advantageous for survival, to aid in systematic preparations for future disasters and life challenges. Method: In this study, the Scale of Eight Personal Characteristics Related to Vitality was translated into Turkish by three language experts, validity and reliability analyses were conducted, and a pilot test was carried out with 30 participants. Subsequently, between February 1 and March 1, 2024, online data were collected from 523 individuals across Turkey who had experienced disasters. Results: The average age of participants was 24.09 ± 7.60 years; 72.7% (n = 380) were female. Among participants, 79.2% (n = 359) had experienced an earthquake, 65.1% (n = 56) a flood, and 47.4% (n = 9) a fire. Analysis of the Eight Personal Traits Scale showed the original 8-factor structure was retained, with all item factor loadings above 0.40 and an explained variance of 61.180%. Therefore, no items were removed, and the 8-subdimension structure was accepted. Factor loadings ranged between 0.34 and 0.83. Internal consistency, evaluated through split-half reliability, was found to be at an acceptable level. Conclusion: The analysis and evaluations conducted in this study concluded that the Eight Personal Traits Scale Related to Disaster Vitality is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the Turkish sample in identifying personal traits in the face of disasters.

  Determining the musculoskeletal problems of academicians who transitioned to distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic

  Yorulmaz, Deniz S.; Karadeniz, Havva; Duran, Seçil; Çelik, İsa

  BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders are a significant public health issue that negatively affects individuals and society both socially and economically, and increases the cost of care and cure. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the musculoskeletal problems and risk factors of academicians who transitioned to provide distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The population of this descriptive cross-sectional study included academicians who worked in two public universities in Turkey. Ethical committee approval and institutional permissions were obtained between 1 and 28 February 2021. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Work Environment Evaluation Questionnaire, and the Musculoskeletal Pain Intensity Assessment Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the number, percentage, independent group t-test, ANOVA test, and linear regression analysis (forward method). The analysis was interpreted at the 95% confidence level and 0.05 error margin. RESULTS: Of the academicians, 78% were women, 54.6% were married, 80.6% did not regularly exercise, and 73.5% had more workload during the distance education period. Academicians mostly experienced discomfort about their eyes, necks, and waists, and an increase at a significant level was detected in their musculoskeletal system problems during the distance education period. Increasing workload, duration of mobile phone use, active time, having an ergonomic chair, and gender predicted the musculoskeletal system pain intensity by 20%. CONCLUSION: Musculoskeletal system problems are a significant public health issue. Academicians should be informed and consulted for the protection of musculoskeletal system health during the distance education period.

  Evaluation of the relationship between health literacy and self-efficacy: A sample of hemodialysis patients

  Kazak, Aysun; Özkaraman, Ayşe; Topalı, Hasret; Duran, Secil

  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.

  Factors affecting nurses' professional commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study

  Duran, Secil; Celik, Isa; Ertugrul, Bekir; Ok, Serife; Albayrak, Sevil

  Aim: This study aims to investigate the factors affecting nurses' professional commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Background: Commitment to a profession requires doing the best for that profession. In the case of the nursing profession, professional commitment gains greater importance in times of crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 389 nurses in the Turkish state hospital. Institutional permissions, ethical approval and written consents from the participants were obtained before carrying out the study. Results: The participants’ mean Perceived Organizational Obstruction Scale score was 20.07 ± 8.06 (min = 5.0, max = 35.0), and their mean Nursing Professional Commitment Scale score was 71.20 ± 11.94 (min = 30.0, max = 103.0). Socio-demographic variables and perception of organisational obstruction predicted 36.7% of the variance in the professional commitment (p <.001). Conclusion: A road map based on the study results was developed for hospitals and nurse managers to maintain and increase nurses' professional commitment. Implications for Nursing Management: The results of this study may help institutions and nurse managers understand the factors affecting professional commitment during the pandemic as a whole, as well as determine primary strategies based on the importance of these factors.

  Sağlık Çalışanlarının İletişim Becerileri ve Göçmenlerle Yaşadıkları İletişim Zorlukları

  Duran, Seçil; Albayrak, Sevil

  Amaç: Araştırma, sağlık çalışanlarının iletişim becerilerinin ve göçmen- lerle yaşadıkları iletişim zorluklarının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipte olan bu araştırma, Yozgat Şehir Hastanesi ve Yoz- gat il merkezindeki 8 aile sağlığı merkezindeki toplam 562 sağlık çalışanından, araştırma yapıldığı tarihlerde aktif çalışan ve gönüllü olan 450 sağlık çalışanı ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, 2018 yılında yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Veriler, 14 sorudan oluşan “Anket Formu” ve 45 sorudan oluşan “İletişim Bece- rileri Envanteri (İBE)” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde sayılar, yüz- delikler, ortalama ve standart sapmaların yanı sıra Kruskal-Wallis analizi ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmış, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunan çoklu gruplarda ileri analiz olarak Mann-Whitney U testi yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel an- lamlılık değeri p<0,05 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alı- nan sağlık çalışanlarının İBE puan ortalamaları 157,02±13,23’tür. Sağlık çalışanlarının 26-33 yaşında ve bekâr olanların İBE toplam puan ortalamalarının diğer gruplara göre yüksek çıktığı ve bu farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışma yılı ve cinsiyet ile İBE toplam ve alt boyutlarının puan ortalaması arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı çıkmasa da kadınlar ve 10 yıl ve daha altında çalışanlar lehine İBE toplam puan ortalamasının daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Sağlık çalışanlarının %68,9’u göçmenlere çevirmen olma- dan hizmet verdiğini belirtmiştir. Ancak çevirmenlerin sağlık bilgisi sorgulan- mamıştır. Sağlık çalışanlarının %53,6’sı göçmenlerin verilen hizmete karşı tutumlarının olumsuz olduğunu ve %46,0’ı bu durumun verilen hizmeti zorlaş- tırdığını belirtmiştir. Hizmet sunumunu etkilemediğini belirten sağlık çalışanla- rının hizmet sunumunu zorlaştırdığını ifade edenlere göre Zihinsel, Davranışsal İletişim Becerileri ve İBE toplam puan ortalamaları yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının iletişim becerileri puan ortalamaları orta düzeyde bulun- muştur. Sağlık çalışanlarının iletişim becerilerinin hizmet içi eğitimlerle gelişti- rilmesi ve en çok karşılaşılan göçmen grubu 18-59 yaş grubu olduğu için bu yaş gruplarında en çok görülen sağlık problemlerini bilmeleri ve bu sorunların bir- çoğunun sebebi çevirmen eksikliği olduğundan, hastaların şikâyetlerini anlayan ve durumu sağlık çalışanına iletebilen sağlık bilgisine sahip çevirmenlerin sayı- larının artırılması ve sağlık çalışanlarının hizmetlerine karşı göçmenlerin olum- suz tutumlarının değiştirilmesi için araştırmalar önerilebilir.
