    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Demir, Rukiye; Odabas, Resmiye Kaya; Taspinar, Ayten
    Obtaining information about women's use of digital media, their behavior in acquiring health information in the digital environment and their level of health literacy will fill an important gap in the literature. This research was conducted to examine the digital media use and health literacy levels of women in Turkey. The population of the research was the female population between the ages of 20-60 in Turkey in 2020, and the sample consisted of 404 women in this age range. The data of this analytical-cross-sectional study were collected online with the Personal Information Form and the Turkish Health Literacy Scale-32. It was determined that 83.9% of the women participating in the study used digital media and 82.9% of them obtained health information in the digital environment. In the categorical score distribution of the scale, it was determined that the health literacy level of 48.8% of women was insufficient, 26.2% problematic/limited, 19.8% sufficient and 5.2% excellent. A significant relationship was determined between women's health literacy level and age, marital status, education level, employment status, perception of income level, place of residence, use of digital media and duration of use (p < .05). We concluded that majority of women in Turkey use digital media, obtain health information in the digital environment and have low health literacy levels.

    Knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about Coronavirus vaccines in Turkiye
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2022) Kaya Odabas, Resmiye; Demir, Rukiye; Taspinar, Ayten
    The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine pregnant women's knowledge and attitudes regarding coronavirus vaccines in Turkiye. The research population consisted of 400 pregnant women who applied to a public hospital in this city. The data of the study was collected with the 'Personal Information Form' and 'Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Vaccine Scale'. Only 2% of the pregnant women stated that they wanted to receive coronavirus vaccines in their current pregnancy and 9.5% wanted it during the postpartum period. It has been concluded that the vast majority of pregnant women have insufficient knowledge and negative thoughts about coronavirus vaccines and the place where they live and their thoughts on the safety of coronavirus vaccines affect their positive attitudes about coronavirus vaccines. IMPACT STATEMENT What is already known on this subject? Many epidemics in history have been controlled or eliminated with vaccines. However, there is still insufficient evidence about the effects of coronavirus infection and vaccines on pregnant women. What do the results of this study add? As a result, it was found that the vast majority of pregnant women had insufficient knowledge and negative thoughts about coronavirus vaccines and very few of them wanted to receive the coronavirus vaccine during pregnancy and the postpartum period. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? In the light of these findings, it is recommended that increase the vaccination rates in pregnant women by turning existing negative attitudes towards coronavirus vaccines in pregnant women into positive ones, providing accurate and effective information by health professionals and the media to eliminate negative attitudes caused by lack of information in pregnant women, conducting more studies on obstacles to increasing vaccine acceptance during pregnancy, and conducting studies on the subject with wider audiences and regions.

    The relationship between loneliness perception and breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding behaviors in mothers
    (Wiley, 2025) Demir, Rukiye; Odabas, Resmiye Kaya; Taspinar, Ayten
    Background Breast milk and breastfeeding affect the health of the child, the mother, and indirectly the public. Therefore, it is important to determine the breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers, breastfeeding behaviors, and the factors affecting them, and to eliminate the factors that negatively affect breastfeeding. Aim The study was conducted to examine the relationship between the perception of loneliness in mothers and breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding behaviors. Methods This descriptive and correlational study was conducted in Turkey between March and November 2024 with 382 mothers (n = 382). The data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES), and Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale (SELSA-S). Results The mean total score of the mothers in the study was 43.72 +/- 11.13 and the mean total score of SELSA-S was 59.67 +/- 13.25. In the study, it was found that those who were university graduates, were employed, received education about breastfeeding, were currently breastfeeding, as well as those who exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months, received spousal support while breastfeeding, had statistically significantly higher mean total scores on the BSES and lower mean total scores on the SELSA-S than the others. Additionally, receiving general social support and specifically from their spouses also contributed to these higher scores. In addition, a high-level negative linear relationship was found between the BSES and SELSA-S total and sub-dimensions (p < 0.001). Conclusions It was concluded that the perception of social and emotional loneliness negatively affected breastfeeding self-efficacy and some breastfeeding behaviors in mothers with infants aged 0-24 months.
