Öğe The relationship between orthorexia nervosa and cyberchondria levels in nurses: A cross-sectional study*(W.B. Saunders, 2024) Cangöl Söğüt, Seda; Atsizata, MervePurpose: The study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between orthorexia nervosa and cyberchondria levels among nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 399 nurses through face-to-face interviews. The data were collected using a participant information form, the Cyberchondria Severity Scale, and the Orthorexia Nervosa-11 scale (ORTO-11). Results: The mean score of the nurses' cyberchondria severity scale was 73.95 ± 18.53, while the mean score of the Orthorexia Nervosa-11 scale was 28.23 ± 4.76. In the study, a low negative correlation was found between the cyberchondria and orthorexia nervosa levels (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The increase in the level of cyberchondria among nurses increases the risk of orthorexia nervosa. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses receive proper nutritional education and psychosocial support to reduce their tendency towards orthorexia nervosa and cyberchondria.Öğe Anxiety and attitudes of midwifery students toward scientific research(Scientia Socialis Ltd, 2023) Arslan, Şeyda FerahThe attitudes of midwifery students, who are being trained to perform the profession of midwifery in the future, toward doing scientific research are determining factors in increasing the quality of midwifery and strengthening evidence-based practices. Undergraduate education is an important stage in which basic research-related perspectives and skills are gained for health professions. This descriptive study aims to determine the anxiety and attitudes of midwifery students toward scientific research and to examine the variables that affect them. It was conducted at a public university in western Türkiye and included 246 undergraduate midwifery students. Midwifery students’ anxiety toward scientific research was found to be low and their attitudes toward scientific research were positive. The attitudes of students who have experience in doing scientific research, participated in scientific congresses/symposia, have the desire to do scientific research under the guidance of a consultant and follow periodicals, were found to be more positive. Anxiety and positive attitude toward scientific research were found to be negatively related. The results of the regression analysis showed that the students’ Research Anxiety affected their Attitude Toward Scientific Research. Students’ experiences of conducting scientific research reduce anxiety and affect attitudes positively. Therefore, undergraduate students should be actively involved in scientific research and activities.Öğe Traditional and Complementary Medicines Methods Used by Patients Diagnosed with Covid-19(S. Karger AG, 2023) Tarus, Hamide Arslan; Ölmez Yalazı, Rüveyda; Karadeniz, Hilal; Gürkan, Özlem CanAim: This study aimed to determine traditional and complementary medicines (T&CM) methods used by patients before and after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between 27 March 2021 and 2 July 2021, in the community health services unit of Düzce Province, Central District, in the western Black Sea region. 547 people participated in the study. Two forms prepared by the researchers, the "Participant Identification Form"and the "Assessment Form for the Use of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Methods,"were used to collect the data. Results: Before the diagnosis of COVID-19, patients reported that they consumed the highest rate of medicinal plants (56.1%) and fruits (40.4%) and prayed (40.4%) to prevent disease. After the diagnosis of COVID-19, they stated that they consumed the highest percentage of medicinal plants (68.4%) and fruit (53.0%) and prayed (48.4%) to reduce disease symptoms. It was seen that herbal products/herbal mixtures (medicinal plants [p < 0.001], fruits [p < 0.001], and fruit vinegars [p < 0.001]), and T&CM methods such as supplements like C, E, D, and other vitamins (p < 0.001), prayer (p < 0.001), massage (p < 0.001), and apitherapy (p < 0.001) were found to be statistically significant after COVID-19 diagnosis compared to before. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that the patients often used T&CM methods such as herbal products (especially medicinal plants and fruits) and prayer before and after COVID-19 diagnosis, and the use of these T&CM methods increased significantly after diagnosis.Öğe The Psychometric Property Evaluation of the Turkish Version of the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale(Turkish Osteoporosis Society, 2021) Aktürk, Sibel Ocak; Meseri, Reci; Özentürk, Melek GülsünObjective: This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale (OAS) developed to assess people's osteoporosis awareness. Materials and Methods: This methodological study was designed to investigate the validity and reliability of the "OAS" in Turkish society. This study included healthcare workers who worked in Community Health and Family Health Centers (n=346). Numbers, percentages, t-test, correlation analysis, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, and factor analysis methods were used to analyze the data. Results: The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was 0.94 for the overall OAS and 0.86, 0.82, 0.88, 0.88, 0.85 for its bone physiology, preventive behaviors, risk factors, exercise, and characteristics of osteoporosis sub-dimensions, respectively. The exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that the scale explained 66.16% of the total variance. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, factor loadings of the scale ranged between 0.64 and 0.82, and CMIN(x2)/df was 3.384, goodness-of-fit index was 0.85, normed fit index was 0.83, comparative fit index was 0.88, and RMSEA was 0.08. Conclusion: Results indicate that the Turkish version of the OAS highly valid and reliable, which can be administered in future studies.Öğe The relationship between internet addiction and risky health behaviors in university students: A cross-sectional study in Turkey(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Özarıcı, Emine; Cangöl Sögüt, SedaPurpose:The study was carried out to determine the relationship between internet addictionand risky health behaviors in university students.Design and Methods:The study, which is cross‐sectional research, was conducted with606 university students in the 2019–2020 academic year and used face‐to‐face interviews.Findings:It was determined that 7.15% of the students had internet addiction with limitedsymptoms.

This study was conducted to determine the intercultural sensitivity and ethnocentrism levels of midwife candidates in Turkey. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,616 midwifery students who studied in seven different regions of Turkey in the 2018–2019 academic year. Data were collected through a questionnaire, Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, and Ethnocentrism Scale. Results: It was determined that the variables such as the region where the midwife candidates grew up and location of the university, their years at school, and having friends from different cultures were effective on their intercultural sensitivity and ethnocentrism levels (p <.05). Discussion: Consequently, it is concluded that international student exchange programs and culture-sensitive-based care approaches during midwifery education will increase the intercultural sensitivity levels of students and contribute to reducing ethnocentrism levels.
