Bu çalışmada Lee (2020) tarafından COVID-19 kriziyle ilişkili olası disfonksiyonel anksiyete vakalarını tanımlamak için geliştirilen, Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği (KAÖ)'nin, Türkçe geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerini gerçekleştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ölçeğin geçerlik çalışmaları için açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri, güvenirlik çalışmaları için ise iç tutarlılık analizleri yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Elde edilen bulgulara göre, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması yapılan KAÖ tek boyutlu ve beş sorudan oluşan orijinal ölçek ile aynı özellikler göstermektedir. İstatistiksel analiz sonucunda 5 soru ve tek boyuttan ölçeğin Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayısı 0,832 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Tek faktörden ve 5 maddeden oluşan ölçeğin maddelerine ilişkin faktör yükleri 0,625 ve 0,784 arasında değişmektedir. Tartışma ve Sonuç: Gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma ile literatüre geçerli ve güvenilir bir KAÖ kazandırıldığı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma koronavirüsün yarattığı anksiyetinin ölçülmesinde ve toplum ruh sağlığının geliştirilmesinde gelecekteki araştırmalara referans olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
Objective: The objective of this paper was to determine the effects of certain sociodemographic characteristics of Turkish individuals who seek health information on the Internet. Methods: This study was granted permission to use data obtained by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI) in 2018 under their Household Information Technology Use (HITU) study. The original sample for this research comprised 19,389 participants. Results: Age, gender, educational level, place of residence and frequency of Internet use were all found to impact the participants' health information seeking behaviour on the Internet. Health information was sought more frequently by women than men, by younger than older people and by those with higher levels of education. Also, health information searches were conducted more often in developed regions than in less-developed regions. In addition, it was also found that the habit of seeking health information was more common among those who use the Internet more frequently. Conclusion: Several socio-demographic characteristics of individuals affect their health information seeking behaviour on the Internet. All individuals should be granted equivalent access to reliable health information by taking sociodemographic characteristics and discrepancies into consideration.
Aim: Medical errors are one of the most important and chronic problems of health care systems. In this study, medical error cases decided by the Supreme Court were examined. Material and Methods: The work is retrospective, descriptive and analytical, and it is limited to civil court decisions on a suit for error. Sixty court decisions that were randomly selected in the study were obtained via www.yargitay.gov.tr and www.kazanci.com.tr. The decisions were examined in detail by researchers. Results: According to the research result, it is understood that the medical errors mostly occur in gynecology and obstetrics and general surgery branches. Treatment errors are the most important cause of medical errors. Material and moral damage ranks first, and death ranks the second due to medical errors. It has been revealed that the predominant responsibilities of medical errors are on physicians in large part. The two most common causes of medical errors are the choice of the wrong treatment method and surgical errors. Conclusion: In the light of the analyzes, it is seen that medical errors are largely human-induced factors. Therefore, establishing mechanism to minimize medical errors, increasing the level of awareness of medical staff about medical errors, to minimize wrong treatment method and surgical errors thought to be effective strategies to prevent medical errors.
BACKGROUND: The measures developed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic caused fear, stress and anxiety in people over time. It was reported that pandemic fatigue, associated with the gradual loss of motivation to follow the implemented protective measures, emerged in societies. OBJECTIVE: This cross-sectional-methodological study aimed to validate the Turkish version of the Pandemic Fatigue Scale, developed by Lilleholt et al. METHODS: A web-based questionnaire was conducted to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the PFS. 1149 participants from all regions in Turkey participated. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed. RESULTS: As a result of the KMO and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity, the scale was suitable for the factor analysis. According to EFA, the scale has two sub-factors. The first sub-factor explained 48.7%, and the second sub-factor explained 16.7% of the total variance. Factor loadings of items varied between 0.67 0.89. CFA shows that acceptable fit values were obtained for the RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, CFI, NFI and IFI fit indices. CONCLUSIONS: The results support that PFS is a valid and reliable screening tool that can be used to measure the phenomenon of pandemic fatigue.
Hasta merkezli iletişim, hasta merkezli bakımın temelinde yer alan önemli bir kavramdır. Hasta merkezli iletişim, hekimin hastaların ihtiyaçlarını anlamasını, hastalara yeterli bilgi vermeyi ve hastalar ile hekim arasında güven oluşturmayı amaçlayan önemli bir iletişim tarzıdır. Hasta merkezli iletişimin; hasta memnuniyeti, hastanın kalite algısı, hastanın tedaviye katılımı, hasta ve hekim arasında güvenin tesis edilmesi ve klinik sonuçlar üzerinde olumlu etkilerinin olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, hasta merkezli iletişim ve hizmet kalitesi algısı arasındaki ilişkide sağlık hizmet sunucusuna olan güvenin aracı rolü incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda 261 hastadan elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde hiyerarşik regresyon analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre hasta merkezli iletişim hekime güven ve hizmet kalitesini olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Ayrıca hasta merkezli iletişim ve hizmet kalitesi ilişkisinde hizmet sunucuya olan güvenin kısmi aracı rolünün olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
