    (Mashhad Univ Med Sciences-Iranian Assoc Health Educ & Health Promotion, 2023) Celik, Ibrahim; Akkaya, Gulnur
    Background and Objectives: In the Covid 19 pandemic, determining the vaccine literacy of individuals whose vaccination process has not been completed and ensuring that they are vaccinated shows the importance of this study. This study was carried out between 1 January and 31 March 2022. This study was conducted to determine the vaccine literacy level of individuals whose Covid-19 vaccines were not completed during the Covid-19 pandemic process and to apply Covid-19 vaccines. Materials and Methods: This study is descriptive and cross-sectional study. The population of the study consisted of individuals over the age of 18 who did not complete their Covid-19 vaccines and lived in a town in the west of Turkey. After the power analysis was conducted, the sample consisted of 923 people who agreed to participate in the research. The information form and the Covid-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale were used as data collection tools. The Independent Sample t-test was used to compare the Covid-19 vaccine literacy and sub-dimension scores with personal information; one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare educational status and income levels; the Tukey HSD test was used as post-hoc test; and the Pearson Correlation analysis was used to correlate the continuous variables with each other. Results: The mean score of the Covid-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale was found to be above average, and the mean score of the subdimensions communicative/critical and functional skills was found to be moderate. It was found that the participants' Covid 19 vaccine literacy was associated with marital status, education levels, income level, having the Covid-19 disease, and having previously been vaccinated against Covid-19. Conclusion: As a result of the research conducted between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022, 923 volunteer participants were vaccinated against Covid-19. The first dose of Covid-19 vaccine was administered to 82 people out of 923 who had never been vaccinated. A second dose of Covid-19 vaccine was administered to 178 people, a third dose of Covid-19 vaccine to 311 people, a fourth dose of Covid19 vaccine to 271 people, and a fifth dose of Covid-19 vaccine to 81 people. An important vaccination program was carried out, and this result is the most important success of our study. It was found that there was a relationship between the Covid-19 vaccine literacy levels and the Covid-19 vaccination, marital status, education level, income status and Covid-19 disease status of the individuals participating in the study. The Covid-19 vaccine literacy score of the participants was above the medium level, and the sub-dimension scores of the participants were moderate. In total, 923 volunteer participants were vaccinated against Covid19, and 82 people who had never been vaccinated were given the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine. Paper Type: Research Article

    Determination of the relationship between competencies in disaster nursing management and perceived stress: The intermediary role of resilience
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Akkaya, Gulnur; Akkus, Yeliz; Parlak, Ayse Gul; Karacan, Yasemin
    Background: T & uuml;rkiye encounters various natural disasters, foremost earthquakes, and, nurses' resilience, ability to cope with stress and disaster competence play a significant role in disasters. Objective: The objective of this study is to establish the intermediary role of resilience in the relation between nurses' competencies in disaster management and perceived stress. Method: The sampling of this descriptive and cross-sectional study included 240 nurses from across T & uuml;rkiye. The socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, Competencies for Disaster Nursing Management Questionnaire, Brief Resilience Scale, Perceived Stress Scale were utilized in order to collect data. Among the continuous variables of the research, Pearson correlation analysis, linear regression and hierarchical regression analyses regarding the intermediary effect were performed by using PROCESS Model. Findings: The mean scale scores of nurses were detected to be CDNMQ 6.300 +/- 2.771 (medium), BRS 18.463 +/- 4.308 (medium), and PS 21.038 +/- 6.759 (low), respectively. The relationship between CDNMQ and PS (path c; ss = -0.534) descends in case BRS is added to the model (path c'; ss = -0.429) (p < 0.05). In light of this finding, BRS was determined to be a partial intervening variable between CDNMQ and PS. Conclusion: In accordance with this study, it is recommended to plan studies to enhance disaster nursing competence, prioritize resilience, and reproduce this study in various nurse groups.

    (Churchill Livingstone, 2024) Kalanlar, Bilge; Akkaya, Gulnur
    Background: Disasters can overwhelm healthcare systems, making effective triage a crucial skill for nurses. RolePlay Scenario-Based Disaster Triage Training offers a promising approach to prepare nursing students for these situations. Understanding students' experiences with this training method can inform its development and effectiveness in fostering disaster preparedness. However, little is known about this training experience of nursing students. In particular, by examining the challenges faced by students, the emotional distress they experience and their achievements, it will provide guidance for the development of education programs in a more comprehensive and student-oriented manner. Aim: The aim of this study is to elucidate the experiences of nursing students regarding Role-Play Scenario-Based Disaster Triage Training. Design and methods: A qualitative approach was employed to comprehend participating students' experiences. Face-to-face and online semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 students using an interview guide, and the interactions were recorded for subsequent analysis. Thematic analysis was employed to develop themes. Results: The study results emphasize the challenges experienced by students during triage training, their gains and the support they need to cope with the challenges they experience. Data were organized around four main themes: Challenges of the triage process with subthemes such as Thinking of the actual earthquake moment and Ethical dilemmas; Emotional turmoil with subthemes including Anxiety and Fear and Helplessness; Achievements with subthemes such as Increase in knowledge and skills and The importance of the nurse; and Suggestions with subthemes including Continuous education and Mandatory course. Conclusions: The findings of the study provide new insights into the experiences of nursing students during the disaster triage process.
