Öğe Associations Among Noise Sensitivity, Insomnia, and Sleep Quality in Earthquake Survivors Residing in Container Homes(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2025) Akturk, Ummuhan; Gul, Ebru; Ceylan, EmineObjective: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the relationships among noise sensitivity, insomnia complaints, and sleep quality in earthquake survivors residing in container cities. Methods: The study population comprised all adults residing in temporary shelters, and the sample consisted of 606 individuals. The cohort was subjected to power analysis (effect size = 0.28, alpha = 0.05, 95% confidence, and 0.95 power), and data were collected using the Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale (WNSS), the Basic Scale on Insomnia Symptoms and Quality of Sleep (BaSIQS), and a Descriptive Characteristics Form. Results: Sociodemographic factors, such as gender, marital status, occupation, perceived income, health status and parental status, were significantly correlated with insomnia complaints and sleep quality (P < 0.05). WNSS scores exhibited a positive correlation with age and container life characteristics, including challenges related to privacy and security, and exposure to noise from humans and vehicles (P < 0.05). Significant correlations were observed between the participants' BaSIQS and WNSS scores, including the subscales of sleep onset and awakening problems (r = 0.125-0.147, P <= 0.002). Participants identified as noise-sensitive (WNSS >= 99) had a significantly higher number of insomnia complaints and poorer sleep quality than the noise-insensitive participants (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Noise sensitivity is an important predictor of insomnia complaints and diminished sleep quality in earthquake survivors residing in container settlements. These results underscore the cumulative influence of environmental and psychosocial stressors on sleep in post-disaster temporary housing.Öğe The Effect of Nursing Approach on the Self-Management and Adjustment to the Illness among Newly Diagnosed Diabetic Patients According to Meleis's Transition Theory(Sage Publications Inc, 2024) Gul, Ebru; Erci, BehiceThis study aimed to determine how the nursing approach based on Meleis's transition theory affects the self-management and adjustment to the illness among newly diagnosed diabetic patients. The study was conducted as one-group and pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The data were collected using the Introductory Questionnaire, the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), and the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self Report (PAIS-SR). It was determined that there was a positive increase in the total score of the DSMQ after the intervention, and a positive decrease in the total score of the PAIS-SR, and the difference between the scores were statistically significant (p < .05).Öğe Investigating the correlation of health literacy with eating behavior and health perception in adult individuals(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Gul, Ebru; Erci, BehiceLimited levels of health literacy can have a negative impact on individuals, society and the health care system. This study was conducted to determine the relationship of health literacy among adults to eating behavior and health perception. The population of the study was composed of adults in the age group of 30-60 years in the service regions of 10 Family Health Centers affiliated with the city center of Malatya located in eastern Turkey. Descriptive Information Form, the Adult Health Literacy Scale, the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, and the Perception of Health Scale were used to collect the data. The data were collected with face-toface interview technique and analyzed by using number, percentage, and linear regression analysis. It was determined that there was a statistically positive linear effect between health literacy and eating behavior (p < 0.05) and between health literacy and health perception (p < 0.001). It was determined that health literacy, health perception, and its subscales accounted for 1.3% (R-2 = .013) of the change in the eating behavior, the dependent variable. It was determined that the eating behavior subscales and health literacy accounted for almost 19% (R-2 = .188) of the change in the health perception, the dependent variable. According to the results of the study, eating behaviors and health perceptions can be improved by increasing the health literacy of the individuals. It is recommended for nurses to provide individuals with trainings increasing their knowledge levels about health information, health literacy and eating behavior and consulting them.Öğe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Earthquake Victims in the Disaster of the Century(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Gul, Ebru; Akturk, UmmuhanThe aim of this study was to determine the posttraumatic stress disorder of individuals who experienced the earthquake in Turkey on 6 February 2023. Within the scope of the descriptive study, 590 individuals who experienced earthquakes were reached by convenience sampling method. Descriptive Questionnaire Form and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Short Scale (PTSD-SS) were used to collect the data of the study. Independent groups t test, Oneway ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and correlation analyses were used to compare the independent variables with the dependent variable. The results of the study revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between PTSD-SS and age, gender, marital status, education level, perceived income level, location in the first and second earthquakes, people who were with the victims during the earthquakes, status and duration of being under the collapse, benefiting from socio-economic and psycho-social support after the earthquake, place of residence after the earthquakes and damage to houses as a result of the earthquakes (p < 0.05). In conclusion, it is recommended that interventions planned to reduce Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in populations affected by the earthquakes that occurred in Turkey on 6 February 2023 should focus on low-income people, those who were buried during the earthquake, those whose homes were damaged, and those who lived in places other than their own homes after the earthquake. In addition, there is a need for more research on PTSD after these earthquakes. In particular, planning the studies to understand the long-term psychological effects of the earthquake will make important contributions to the literature. The results of the research are expected to contribute to the knowledge about post-traumatic stress disorder in post-earthquake health and social services.Öğe Religious Rituals Performed by Muslim Palliative Caregivers in Turkey During the Grieving Process: An Exploratory Study(Springer, 2022) Ummuhan, Akturk; Gul, Ebru; Behice, ErciThis study identifies the religious and cultural mourning rituals used by family members who provided care for palliative care patients.
