Objectives: The measures taken by governments to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have changed millions of people’s daily lives. This study analyzes parents’ perceived stress and parent–child relationship while staying home due to lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The sample for this descriptive and cross-sectional study comprised 521 parents with children aged 4–18 years. Data were collected online using a Personal Information Form, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), and Child Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS) between 2 and 27 April 2020 in Turkey. Findings: The mean age of the study participants was 38.98±6.578 years, and 53.2% of participants were female. The parents’ mean PSS-4 and CPRS scores were 8.45±2.37 and 53.62±11.71, respectively. Of the parents, 44.0% stated that the days spent in the “Staying Home” period strengthened their relationships with their children, and 56.4% thought that it had provided them with the opportunity to take better care of their child. Mothers’ mean CPRS conflict scores were significantly higher than those of the fathers, and a negative relationship was found between the PSS-4 and CPRS positive-relationship sub-dimensions. Conclusion: Psychosocially supporting interventions should be planned for parents, especially mothers, who hold the most responsibility concerning housework and childcare during situations affecting the life adversely.

Aim: This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the "Masculine Depression Scale" (MDS) in Turkish male university students. Design and Method: This methodological study was conducted with 337 male university students in 2018. Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) reduced the total item number from 44 to 18; the scale included two factors explaining 51.94% of the total variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed standard regression coefficients between .59 and .75. The Cronbach's α values were .74 to .92 and item-total coefficients were 0.22 to 0.71. Implementation Results: The two-factor, 18-item MDS is appropriate to assess masculine depression properties in Turkish male university students.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between educational stress and psychological resilience in nursing students. Method: The descriptive and analytical design of the study consists of 602 students in the nursing department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Ordu and Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University. Data were collected using Personal Information Form, Nursing Education Stress Scale (NESS), and Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA). Data, frequency distribution, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, and Spearman correlation test were used. Findings: The mean age of the students was 20.37±2.10, 73.8% of them were women, the mean NESS score was 66.76±16.56, and the mean RSA score was 99.99±5.19. There was a high positive correlation between NESS total, academic and application sub-dimensions, RSA structural style and future perception, NESS total and academic sub-dimension was negatively correlated with social resources and NESS academic and family cohesion. Conclusions: Acording to results,  nursing students experience moderate academic and practice stress. Among the factors that affect students' psychological well-being, there is a positive relationship between personal strength and future goals, quests and adaptation to future, and stress (in practice area). In addition, it can be said that the psychological resilience of the students is moderate when the scores of the students are evaluated. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitim stresi ile psikolojik dayanıklılıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Metod: Tanımlayıcı ve analitik tipte planlanan araştırmaya, Ordu ve Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümünde öğrenim gören 602 öğrenci dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Hemşirelik Eğitimi Stres Ölçeği (HESÖ) ve Yetişkinler için Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği (YPDÖ) kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde, frekans dağılımı ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler (ortalama, standart sapma), Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis ve Spearman korelasyon testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.37±2.10, %73.8’i kadın, HESÖ puan ortalaması 66,76±16,56, YPDÖ puan ortalaması ise 99,99±5,19’dur. HESÖ toplam, akademik ve uygulama alt boyutları ile YPDÖ yapısal stil ve gelecek algısı arasında yüksek derecede pozitif yönde, HESÖ toplam ve akademik alt boyutu ile sosyal kaynaklar arasında ve HESÖ akademik ile aile uyumu arasında negatif yönde ilişki olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencileri orta düzeyde akademik ve uygulama alanlarında stres deneyimlemektedir. Öğrencilerin psikolojik iyi oluşlarını etkileyen faktörlerden kişisel özellikler ve geleceğe yönelik yeni amaç, arayışlar ve geleceğe uyumları ile stres (uygulama alanında) arasında pozitif ilişki bulunmaktadır.  Ayrıca, öğrencilerin YPDÖ puanlarına bakıldığında, psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının orta derece olduğu söylenebilir.
