Öğe Anger level and related factors in patients presenting to the emergency department(2021) Gokce, Ayse; Gunes, Gulsen; Gokce, HasanAim: According to reasons for admission, unnecessary patient population increases burden on emergency services and prevents real emergency patients from receiving medical care. Emergency departments frequently encounter acts of violence in various forms as a result of uncontrolled anger. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate anger levels and associated factors in patients presenting to the hospital emergency department. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on patients who presented to the emergency department of the hospital. The sample size was calculated as 320 using the minimum sampling size formula used when there are an unknown number of individuals in a system. The questionnaire form comprised of two sections. The first section included questions related to sociodemographic characteristics of the patients and various emergency situations; in the second section, the Anger Expression Scale and State-Trait Anger Scale, in which validity and reliability for our country was conducted by Özer (1994), was used. When analyzing the data, student’s t-test and one-way variance analysis test was used for independent samples. Results: The mean age of the individuals who participated in the study was 39.08±18.09 years. While 59.1% of patients preferred emergency admission due to fast medical care, 44.7% had a condition that required emergency assistance. In the comparison of mean state-trait anger and anger expression scores according to degree of urgency, mean state-trait anger scores were 21.75±5.42 in very urgent patients, 20.48±4.80 in urgent patients, and 20.25±5.96 in non-urgent patients (p>0.05); mean anger expression subscores were 18.07±2.88 in very urgent patients, 17.09±2.80 in urgent patients, and 16.47±3.04 in non-urgent patients. Conclusion: Parallel to increased urgency, it was observed that state-trait anger levels were increased and anger expression sub-dimension was more frequently used. This suggests that individuals worrying about their health will be angrier and reflect their anger to those around them more often.Öğe Assessing the conformance of foods in school canteens in terms of health in Malatya a city of Turkey(2018) Özer, Ali; Celik Seyitoglu, Duygu; Tekin, Çiğdem; Gokce, AyseAbstract: A healthy diet for students is an important concept in terms of school health. In this regard, selling unhealthy foods in the school canteens causes a serious threat. With this study, we aimed to determine how well the “Turkey Healthy Nutrition and Active Life Program” with the number 2010\22 released by the Prime Minister’s Office was applied at schools, and to reveal how reliable school canteens were in this context. This is a descriptive study. The sample size was calculated as 37 by considering the ‘rate of chips sales in the school canteen as 2.65%’ with a power of 80% and a confidence level of 95%. Stratified sampling method was used to stratify the schools; after which 18 primary schools, 13 secondary schools and 6 high schools were selected. Statistic were expressed in numbers and percentages. It was observed that despite the prohibition, fruit-flavored beverages were sold in 51.4% of the schools included in the study, cokes were sold in 10.8% of the. Moreover, chips and french fries were present in the canteens in 18.9% and 8.1% of the included schools, respectively. Among the foods and drinks recommended in the circular, these school canteens had ayran (89.2%), milk (83.8%), yoghurt (18.9%), fresh fruits (8.1%) and fresh-squeezed fruit–vegetable juices (5.4%). Although the sales of healthy beverages in the school canteens were high, the sales of unhealthy beverages were also high. The sales of yoghurt, fresh fruit and fresh-squeezed fruit–vegetable juices were lower. Moreover, French fries and chips that should not be present in the canteens were also sold, which is thought-provoking.Öğe Attitudes, awareness, and knowledge levels of the Turkish adult population toward organ donation: Study of a nationwide survey(Baishideng Publishing Group Inc, 2020) Akbulut, Sami; Ozer, Ali; Gokce, Ayse; Demyati, Khaled; Saritas, Hasan; Yilmaz, SezaiBACKGROUND The most important factors affecting attitudes on organ donation are socioeconomic, educational, cultural, and religious factors in many countries. AIM To evaluate the attitudes, awareness, and knowledge levels of the Turkish adult population toward organ donation. METHODS This nationwide study surveyed 3000 adults (>= 18 years) in Turkey. To ensure a representative sample, the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics-II (modified for Turkey) was used. Turkey was divided into 26 regions based on social, economic, and geographic criteria as identified by the Turkish Statistical Institute. A stratified sampling method was used with an even distribution of adults across cities and towns based on population data. Data were collected by the PRP Research and Consultancy Company using computer-assisted personal interviews. RESULTS Out of 3000 individuals represented in the study population, 1465 (48.8%) were male and 1535 (51.2%) female. The results showed that most participants were under 45 years (59.0%) and married (72.1%), some had a bachelor's degree or higher (21.9%), and very few (1.5%) had any direct experience with organ transplantation - whether in the family, or a family member on a transplantation waiting list. Most of the study population (88.3%) had not considered donating an organ, however, most (87.9%) said that they would accept an organ from a donor if they needed one. Among the individuals surveyed, 67% were willing to donate an organ to a close relative, while 26.8% would donate an organ to an unrelated person. Only 47.2% said they had adequate information about brain death, and 85.2% refused to consent to donating organs of family members declared brain dead. Only 33.9% thought they had adequate information about organ donation. The main source of information was the television. The two main reasons for refusing organ donation were that it was too soon to think about organ donation and the importance of retaining the integrity of the dead person's body. CONCLUSION This study showed that Turkey's adult population has inadequate knowledge about organ donation. The study advocates for public education programs to increase awareness among the general population about legislation related to organ donation.Öğe Determining How Nutritional Status is related to Anger Level and Anxiety Status in Persons(Oxford Univ Press, 2021) Gokce, Ayse; Olke, B.; Ozer, A.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Evaluation of Development of Nonalcoholic Fatty Pancreas Disease After Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis in Liver Transplant Patients: Computerized Tomography Versus Ultrasound(Aves, 2023) Cengiz, Ayse Nuransoy; Bilgic, Yilmaz; Karatoprak, Sinan; Gokce, Ayse; Evren, Bahri; Akbulut, Sami; Yilmaz, SezaiBackground/Aims: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common serious adverse event in liver transplant patients The average incidence has been reported as 1.3%-15.1% in prospective series. In our study, we have prospectively evaluated the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty pancreatic disease (NAFPD) after PEP via computerized tomography (CT) and determined the ratio of fatty pancreas by ultrasound imaging in liver transplant patients. Materials and Methods: We have retrospectively analyzed 2922 patient files, and 146 patients were indicated for ERCP. PEP was observed in 32 patients. After presenting the significant association between the NAFPD and PEP, we prospectively reached 32 patients included in the study. Ten out of those patients have been performed ultrasound with regard to NAFPD. Results: PEP was defined in 32 patients in whom CT was performed to investigate NAFPD. When the patients were contacted, it was observed that 12% were deceased, 71% were alive, but 15% of them were untraceable. Ultrasound has been performed on 10 of 32 patients to determine NAFPD. There was a significant reduction in post-PEP pancreas/spleen rate compared to pre-PEP pancreas/ spleen rate (P =.001). Both the pre-PEP and post-PEP pancreas-spleen difference dropped significantly (P =.002). Conclusion: Ultrasound imaging could be utilized as a scanning test and an alternative to evaluate and diagnose NAFPD, particularly in risky patients.Öğe Evaluation of Nurses' Vaccine Hesitancy, Psychological Resilience, and Anxiety Levels During COVID-19 Pandemic(Aves, 2023) Akbulut, Sami; Boz, Gulseda; Gokce, Ayse; Unsal, Selver; Saritas, Hasan; Kizilay, Erva; Ozer, AliObjective: This study aimed to evaluate the vaccine hesitancy, psychological resilience, and anxiety levels of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 676 nurses working at the survey time. Sociodemographic features, the status of hesitancy against the COVID-19 vaccine, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and the Brief Resilience Scale were used in the questionnaire form to collect the data. Results: Most participants (68.6%; n = 464) stated they were hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine. A significantly higher rate of hesitancy was detected in the age group of 20-39 years, those who did not have COVID-19 vaccine, and those who did not think the COVID-19 vaccine is protective (P < .05). It was determined that 6.8% (n = 46) of the nurses had COVID-19 anxiety. A significantly higher rate of anxiety was detected in the age group of 40 years and older, those working in the emergency department, and those working in the COVID-19 unit during the pandemic period (P < .05). The median Brief Resilience Scale score of nurses is 19(6). A negative, weak, and significant relationship was found between the Brief Resilience Scale and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale scores (P = .001). Conclusion: During the pandemic, higher rates of anxiety were detected in healthcare personnel and those working in COVID-19 units. It was also found that as the level of anxiety increased, the level of psychological resilience decreased. To reduce the anxiety level and strengthen the psychological resilience of nurses, the cornerstones of the health system, fast, effective, and curative interventions should be made.Öğe Evaluation of Vaccine Hesitancy and Anxiety Levels among Hospital Cleaning Staff and Caregivers during COVID-19 Pandemic(Mdpi, 2022) Akbulut, Sami; Gokce, Ayse; Boz, Gulseda; Saritas, Hasan; Unsal, Selver; Ozer, Ali; Akbulut, Mehmet SerdarIt is important to vaccinate individuals working in the field of health who are more at risk compared to society during the pandemic period. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vaccine hesitancy and anxiety levels of hospital cleaning staff and caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive type cross-sectional study was conducted with 460 hospital cleaning staff and caregivers. Demographic and social characteristics form, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), and Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS) adapted to the pandemic were used in the questionnaire form used to collect the data of the study. It was determined that the rates of hesitation against the COVID-19 vaccine and childhood vaccine were 42.2% (n = 194) and 10.9% (n = 50), respectively. Less than half of the participants (44.6%) believe that the COVID-19 vaccine is protective. COVID-19 anxiety (CAS score >= 9 point) was detected in 19.6% of participants and statistically significant differences were found between patients with (n = 90) and without (n = 370) anxiety regarding gender (p < 0.001), working unit (p = 0.002), vaccination status (p = 0.023) and history of psychological disease (p = 0.023). It has been shown that the VHS-total scores of those who are not vaccinated, those who are hesitant about vaccination, those who do not think that the vaccine is protective, and those who state that there is no need for a legal obligation in vaccination are higher. When participants were asked about the most anxious situation during the COVID-19 period, the highest response rate was 62.4% for my parents' exposure to COVID-19. The most anxious situation among participants is their parents' exposure to COVID-19. Although participants are highly vaccinated, they have serious hesitancy about the COVID-19 vaccine. This study also showed that there was a parallel relationship between COVID-19 anxiety and vaccine hesitancy.Öğe İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Öğrencilerinin Engellilere Yönelik Tutum Ve Davranışları(Medicine Science, 2016) Gokce, Ayse; Gunes, Gulsen; Çelik, Duygu SeyitogluÖz: Engellilik fiziksel, zihinsel veya psikolojik işlev veya yapı farklılığından kaynaklanan ve söz konusu bireyin profesyonel hayata katılımını zorlaştıran bir durumdur. Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu'nun 2011 yılındaki verilerine göre Türkiye nüfusunun %12.29 unu engelli bireylerin meydana getirdiği belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışma İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi öğrencilerinin engelli bireylere karşı tutum ve davranışlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma kesitsel tipte bir çalışma olup, 2015 Şubat-Mart ayında İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Öğrencilerine yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın yapıldığı dönemde İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde bulunan 1298 öğrenci için minimum örneklem büyüklüğü formülü hesaplanmıştır. Araştırmaya 658 kişi katılmıştır. Veri toplama gözlem altında anket tekniği ile yapılmış olup, anket iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde katılımcıların sosyodemografik özelliklerine ilişkin sorular sorulmuş, ikinci bölümünde ise Dökmen Z. Tarafından 2000 yılında geliştirilen Engellilere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız örnekler için t testi, Tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin yaş ortalaması 21.94±2.28'dir. Öğrencilerin %53.9 u erkek,%46.1 i kadındır. Öğrencilerin % 31.5 unun ailesinde veya çevresinde engelli bireylerin olduğunu; %3.7 sinin ise kendisinin bir engeli olduğunu belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin ailesinde veya çevresinde engelli birey bulunan grubun puan ortalaması 66.66±19.84, olmayan grubun ise 68.90±19.61 dir(p>0.05). Bireyin kendisinin bir engeli olan grubun puan ortalaması 70.14±19.00 olmayan grubun ortalaması 68.18±19.74 dir (p>0.05). Araştırmamıza göre; tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin engelli bireylere yönelik olumlu tutumlarının olduğu görülmektedir. Yaş, aile tipi gibi faktörler engellilere yönelik tutumun değişmesine neden olmuştur. Toplumun her kesimiyle yakın ilişkide bulunan tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin mesleki eğitimlerine ek olarak engelli bireylere olan tutumunu daha olumlu hale getirecek müfredat programlarının arasına yerleştirilebilecek sosyal faaliyetler planlanmalıdır.Öğe İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Öğrencilerinin Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rollerine İlişkin Tutumlarının Belirlenmesi(Medicine Science, 2016) Seyitoglu, Duygu Celik; Gunes, Gulsen; Gokce, AyseÖz: Toplumsal cinsiyet kadının ve erkeğin sosyal olarak belirlenmiş kişilik özelliklerini, rol ve sorumluluklarını ifade eder. Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ise geleneksel olarak kadınlarla ve erkeklerle ilişkili olduğu kabul edilen rolleri ifade etmektedir. Toplumsal cinsiyet rolü, kültürel olarak kadına ve erkeğe uygun görülen kişilik özellikleri ve davranışları içerir. Bu çalışmanın amacı İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi öğrencilerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin tutumlarını belirlemek ve etkileyen faktörleri incelemektir. Araştırma kesitsel tipte bir çalışma olup, Aralık 2014-Mart 2015 tarihleri arasında İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde yapıldı. Çalışmanın yapılabilmesi için Malatya Klinik Araştırmalar Etik Kurulu'ndan ve İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nden yazılı izin alındı. İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde bulunan 1298 öğrenci için minimum örneklem büyüklüğü formülü hesaplandı. Minimum örneklem büyüklüğü 328 bulundu. Çalışmaya başlarken sınıf listesinden basit rastgele yöntemle öğrencilerin yarısı seçildi. 684 öğrenci araştırma kapsamına alındı. Veri toplama aracı olarak birinci kısmı katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özelliklerden ikinci kısmı ise Zeyneloğlu tarafından geliştirilen "Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rollerine İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği"nden (TCRTÖ) oluşan anket formu kullanıldı. Bu ölçek 38 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Ölçekten alınabilecek en yüksek puan 190, en düşük puan ise 38'dir. Yüksek puan almak eşitlikçi tutuma sahip olmak anlamına gelmektedir. Ölçeğe ait beş alt boyut mevcut olup bunlar; eşitlikçi cinsiyet, kadın cinsiyet, evlilikte cinsiyet, geleneksel cinsiyet ve erkek cinsiyet rolleridir. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız örnekler için istatistiksel analizlerde Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis Testi (Post Hoc Bonferroni) yapıldı. Araştırmamıza katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 22,00±2,23'tür. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin %40,8'i erkek, %59,2'si kadındır. Öğrencilerin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin tutum ölçeğinden aldıkları toplam puan ortancası 139 (min 53-max 185) bulunmuştur. Kız öğrencilerin 146 puan ortancası ile anlamlı olarak daha eşitlikçi tutum gösterdikleri bulunmuştur (p=0.001). 17-19 yaş grubunda ölçekten alınan puan ortancası 143 iken, 25 yaş üstü kişilerde puan ortancası 135'tir (p=0,027). Annesi çalışıyor olan öğrencilerin puan ortancası 146, annesi çalışmayanların 137 bulunmuştur (p=0,001). Öğrencilerin aile tipine göre ölçekten alınan puan ortancası karşılaştırıldığında ise geniş ailede yaşayan öğrencilerde 127, çekirdek ailede yaşayan öğrencilerde ise 140'dır (p=0.004). Anne eğitim durumuna göre TCRTÖ ortanca puanları değerlendirildiğinde annelerinin eğitim olmayan öğrencilerin puan ortancası 133, annesi üniversite mezunu olan öğrencilerin puan ortancaları 145 bulunmuştur. (p=0,010). Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri alt boyutlarından alınan puanlar cinsiyetle karşılaştırıldığında tüm alt boyutlarda kız öğrenciler erkeklere göre anlamlı olarak daha eşitlikçi tutuma sahiptirler (p=0,001). Tıp Fakültesi öğrencilerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada tıp öğrencilerinin diğer fakültelerde yapılan çalışmalara göre daha eşitlikçi bir tutum gösterdikleri saptanmıştır. Kız öğrenciler, yaşı daha genç olan öğrenciler, çekirdek aile yapısında yaşayanlar, annesi çalışan ve anne eğitim düzeyi yüksek olanlar daha eşitlikçi tutum göstermektedirler. Tıp fakültelerinde toplumsal cinsiyetle ilgili derslerin müfredata eklenebilir, özellikle erkek öğrencilerin katılımıyla akran eğitimleri düzenlenebilir Başlık (İngilizce): Determining the Attitudes of the Students of Inonu University, Faculty of Medicine, on Social Gender Roles Öz (İngilizce): Social gender tells about the personality traits, roles and responsibilities defined socially for women and men in the society. Social gender roles, on the other hand, tell about the roles that are considered to be related with men and women in a traditional way. Social gender role includes the personality traits and behaviors that are considered to be proper for men and women in a cultural manner. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of the students at Inonu University, Faculty of Medicine, on social gender roles, and examine the factors that are effective on these attitudes. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study, and was conducted atInonu University, Faculty of Medicine between the dates December 2014 - March 2015. Written approval was received from Malatya Clinical Researches Ethics Board and InonuUniversity, Faculty of Medicine in order to conduct the study. The minimum sampling size formula was calculated for the 1298 students studying at InonuUniversity, Faculty of Medicine. The minimum sampling size was found as 328. Half of the students were selected randomly from the class lists at the beginning of the study. 684 students were included in the study. The questionnaire form which included the “Attitude Scale on Social Gender Roles” (ASGR), whose first part was developed by the socio-demographic properties of the participants, and the second part developed by the researcher, was used as the data collection tool. This scale consists of 38 Items. The highest point that may be received from the scale is 190 and the lowest is 38. Receiving high points means having an egalitarian attitude. There are five sub-dimensions of the scale and they are; egalitarian gender, woman gender, gender at marriage, traditional gender and male gender roles. In statistical analyses of the data for the independent variables, the Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis Test (Post Hoc Bonferroni) were used. The mean age of the participant students was 22±2,23. 40,8% of the participants were male, and 59,2% were female. The average of the total points of the students received from the Attitude Scale on Social Gender Roles was found as 139 (min 53-max 185). It was determined that female students had significantly more egalitarian attitude with 146 median points (p=0.001). While the median points received in the 17-19 age group was 143, it was 135 in people over 25 years of age 135 (p=0,027). The median points of the students whose mothers worked was found to be 146, and of those whose mothers did not work was found as 137 (p=0,001). When the median points of the students received from the scale in terms of their families were compared, it was determined that it was 127 in students who lived in a wide family, and 140 in those who lived in an elementary family (p=0.004). When the median points of the ASGR were considered according to the educational status of the mothers, it was determined that the median points of those students whose mothers were not educated was 133; and the median points of those whose mothers were university graduates was found as 145 (p=0,010). When the points received from the social gender roles sub-dimensions were considered, it was observed that female students had meaningfully more egalitarian attitudes when compared with the male students (p=0,001). In this study, which was conducted to determine the attitudes of the students of faculty of medicine on social gender roles, it was determined that the students showed a more egalitarian attitudes when compared with other university students. Female students, younger students, those living in elementary families, those whose mothers are working and have higher educational status show more egalitarian attitudes. It may be recommended that classes on social gender may be added to the curriculum in medicine faculties, and peer trainings may be organized with the participation of especially male studentsÖğe INVESTIGATION OF KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOURS OF PARENTS REFUSING CHILDHOOD VACCINES IN MALATYA, AN EASTERN CITY OF TURKEY(Natl Inst Public Health, 2021) Gokce, Ayse; Karakas, Nese; Ozer, Ali; Bentli, RecepObjectives: The modem rise of vaccine rejection in society can alter the current progress that has been made towards the control and prevention of certain diseases, possibly even resulting in epidemics involving these preventable diseases. The aim of this study is to analyse the knowledge, attitude and behaviours of parents in Malatya city who rejected childhood vaccines. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted between September-November 2019. The study includes parents who rejected vaccines and are registered in the family medicine clinics of Malatya city - total of 453 participants. The objective was to include all parents and avoid a sampling procedure. However, only 151 (33%) parents agreed to participate. These parents who rejected vaccines were individually contacted by phone. Descriptive data was represented by number (n) and percentage (%). The chi-square test was utilized in the statistical analysis of data and p <0.05 was considered significant in all evaluations. Results: Mothers in the study group had a mean age of 26.07 +/- 3.64, while the fathers were on average 30.03 +/- 4.59 years of age; 98% of parents were aware of the health risks that vaccine rejection presented; 93% of parents were not satisfied with the explanation, insight, and advice that the healthcare personnel provided regarding vaccines. All parents of the study group stated the following: vaccines should not be administered because other children in their close environment acquired a disease as a result of vaccination, vaccines can harm the immune system of children - not yet fully developed, vaccines are unsafe and endanger the health of children. Conclusions: It can be said that parents who have obtained a lot of false information possess altered decisions and views on vaccinations, to the point where they accept the risks presented by preventable diseases. In addition, individuals lose trust following negative experiences with vaccination.Öğe Knowledge and behaviors of nurses working at Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center on childhood vaccine refusal(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2021) Boz, Gulseda; Gokce, Ayse; Yigit, Esra; Aslan, Mehmet; Ozer, AliAmong 10 global problems of 2019 determined by the World Health Organization, vaccine refusal was one of the problems mentioned. In this context, health services and health personnel whose main objectives are to keep individuals healthy and to prevent diseases have major responsibilities. This study aims to analyze knowledge and behavior of nurses working at Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center on childhood vaccine refusal. This study, conducted between June and July 2019, is a descriptive cross-sectional study. It was conducted in a hospital located in Malatya in eastern Turkey. At the time of the study, 850 nurses work in this hospital. Sample size was calculated to be 263 at a confidence interval of 95% and strength of 80%. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used in statistical analyses. In the present study, 31.7% of the participating nurses stated that they had concerns about childhood vaccines. Two-thirds of nurses stated that their knowledge on vaccines was from their education. The level of hesitance in those agreeing to the fact that vaccines caused autism and infertility, those stating that they did not trust vaccine-producing companies, and those stating that catching the disease was a better immunization method than vaccination was significantly higher than those not agreeing to these and those who were indecisive (p < .05). One-third of nurses was proven to have hesitance on childhood vaccines, and this rate is rather high. Nurses, being both health personnel and the communication channel for guiding parents, should be provided necessary training and practices in order to ease their hesitance on vaccination.Öğe KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICAL FACULTY STUDENTS CONCERNING EBOLA IN MALATYA, TURKEY(Southeast Asian Ministers Educ Organization, 2016) Ozer, Ali; Gokce, Ayse; Seyitoglu, Duygu CelikThe purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge levels of Inonu University medical faculty students regarding Ebola. This descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted between November and December, 2014 at Inonu University Medical Faculty. After the researchers performed the literature review, a questionnaire comprising 39 questions was prepared, and the students were asked to fill them out. Nine hundred and eighty-four of 1,298 students (75.8%) participated in the study. Seventy-three point seven percent knew that the Ebola virus disease had high fatality rate, 51.9% of them knew that the primary method of infection was contact with the secretions of dead animals and humans, and 55.2% knew that it was transmitted via the blood of infected animals. The rate of knowing that there was no specific vaccination was 62.1%, while the knowledge that there was no specific treatment was 45.3%; 80.4% knew that all the people entering the patient's room had to wear gloves and liquid-resistant aprons, and 77.3% knew that the number of the staff caring for the patient must be reduced to the minimum level. Three knowledge points were calculated in the study: 'Knowledge Points on Ebola Virus Disease Factor Properties and the Methods of Infection,' Ebola Virus Disease Symptom Knowledge Points,' and 'Ebola Virus Disease Protection Knowledge Points.' In terms of these knowledge points, the knowledge levels of the students between the classes were significantly different.Öğe Knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of Inonu University faculty members regarding childhood vaccine refusal(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2021) Yigit, Esra; Boz, Gulseda; Gokce, Ayse; Aslan, Mehmet; Ozer, AliIntroduction Although there is a lot of scientific evidence that the benefits of vaccines outweigh their risks, hesitancy about the safety of vaccines can occur in every segment of the community. In this study, we aimed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and associated factors of vaccine hesitancy among Inonu University faculty members regarding childhood vaccinations. Method This is a cross-sectional study, and 258 faculty members were included in the study. The questionnaire used in the study explored the sociodemographic characteristics of the faculty members and their knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding childhood vaccination. A chi-square test and a fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results Of the faculty members, 31.8% were hesitant about childhood vaccines, 51.9% stated that there were studies reporting the side effects of vaccines, 48.1% did not agree with giving booster doses of vaccines, 35.7% stated that vaccines could cause autism due to the chemicals contained in the vaccines. The most important information sources of university faculty regarding childhood vaccines members are scientific publications and health professionals. Conclusions Faculty members level of hesitancy about vaccines was high and since health professionals and scientific articles are the most important information sources of faculty members, misinformation here may affect their knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about vaccination.Öğe Reasons for parental hesitancy or refusal of childhood vaccination in Turkiye(Who Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office, 2023) Tekin, Cigdem; Gokce, Ayse; Boz, Gulseda; Aslan, Mehmet; Yigit, EsraBackground: Although vaccines play a critical role in the control of infectious diseases and disease outbreaks, vaccination rates have been declining in recent years because of vaccine hesitancy or refusal.Aims: We aimed to determine the rates and reasons for parental hesitancy or refusal of vaccination for their children in Turkiye. Method: A total of 1100 participants selected from 26 regions of Turkiye were involved in this cross-sectional study conducted between July 2020 and April 2021. Using a questionnaire, we collected data on the sociodemographic characteristics of parents, the status of vaccine hesitancy or refusal for their children, and reasons for the hesitancy or refusal. Using Excel and SPSS version 22.0, we analysed the data with chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and binomial logistic regression.Results: Only 9.4% of the participants were male and 29.5% were aged 33-37 years. Just over 11% said they were worried about childhood vaccination, mainly because of the chemicals used in manufacturing the vaccines. The level of concern was greater among those who got information about vaccines from the internet, family members, friends, TV, radio, and newspapers. Those who used complementary health services were considerably more hesitant about vaccination than those who used mainstream services. Conclusions: Parents in Turkiye have several reasons for hesitating or refusing to vaccinate their children, key among which are concerns about the chemical composition of the vaccines and their ability to trigger negative health conditions such as autism. This study used a large sample size across Turkiye, although there were differences by region, the findings would be useful in designing interventions to counter vaccine hesitancy or refusal in the country.Öğe The relationship between problematic cell phone use, eating disorders and social anxiety among university students(2021) Gokce, Ayse; Ozer, AliABSTRACTObjective: Problematic cell phone use is common among young age groups which include university students, and may be accompanied by social anxiety and eating disorders. We aimed to examine the relationship between problematic cell phone use, social anxiety and eating disorders among university students.Methods:The universe of this cross-sectional study consists of 28,669 students receiving education at a Inonu University between October 2017 - November 2017.
