Aim To analyze the psychometric properties of the Quality Nursing Care Scale in Turkish Language. Background The quality of health services and nursing care effectively improves safe patient outcomes and reduces costs in healthcare organizations. There is a need for valid and reliable tools in order to use for evaluating the quality of nursing care. Methods The methodological and cross-sectional study included 225 nurses working in a research and training hospital. Content validity, construct validity, item analysis, and internal consistency analysis were used. Results The content validity index of the scale was 0.96. The item-total score correlation values of the items were 0.72 and higher. The factor loads of the items ranged from 0.42 to 0.90. Different from the original scale, Turkish form consisted of three sub-dimensions. The fit indices were acceptable or very good. The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.99. Conclusion The Quality Nursing Care Scale was valid and reliable with its three-factor structure in Turkish Language. It may be used for measuring the quality of care in the aspects of nurses.

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between attachment styles and stigma in adults. Participants were 361 adults (186 females and 175 males) aged between 18 and 69 (M=31.77, SD=9.45). Participants completed the measurement instruments for determining their stigmatizing tendencies and attachment styles. Study results showed that, stigma tendencies of people with the secure attachment style are lower for the discrimination and exclusion, prejudgment and psychological health dimensions, and are higher for people with the fearful attachment style for the discrimination and exclusion, labeling and psychological health dimensions. Preoccupied and dismissive attachment styles are also positively associated with prejudgment tendency. Finally, stigma tendencies of males are more likely to be higher than females for the discrimination and exclusion, labeling and psychological health dimensions. Because different attachment styles are related variously to the subscales of stigma in this study, interventions to decrease stigma of individuals can verge to enhancing the quality of mother-child interactions.

Peter Pan Syndrome is a concept that used to characterize the “never-growing” men who have reached an adult age, but cannot face their adult sensations and responsibilities. Individuals with Peter Pan Syndrome have difficulties in social and professional relationships because of their irresponsible behaviors and narcissistic properties. The purpose of this study is to develop a scale in order to measure the level of Peter Pen Syndrome in male individuals. In accordance with this purpose, the draft form was sent to experts to get their feedback, and some statements have been revised in accordance with the feedback. The Peter Pan Syndrome Scale is a twenty-two-item self-report measurement, and each item is evaluated on five-point Likert Type scale. Construct validity of the scale was determined by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a three-factor model was created, namely, “Escape from Responsibility”, “Power Perception,” and “Never Growing Child”. EFA results shows that these three factors were describing 47.05% of the variance. Results of EFA were verified by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The internal consistency coefficient and the confidence coefficient of the split-half were used to determine the reliability of the scale. The Cronbach’s alpha value was found to be 0.88 for the total scale.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Covid-19 salgınında ebelik öğrencilerinin siberkondri düzeyleri ile etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı desende yürütülen çalışmanın örneklemini, bir kamu üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Ebelik Bölümü'nde öğrenim gören 308 öğrenci oluşturdu (Katılma Oranı: %93). Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden öğrencilere, "Kişisel Bilgi formu" ve "Siberkondri Ciddiyet Ölçeği (SCÖ)" uygulandı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalamasının 20.96±2.56 olduğu belirlendi. Ebe adaylarının %14.6'sı Covid-19 enfeksiyonu tanısı aldığı, %71.8'i Covid-19 geçiren birey ile temas ettiği ve %36.7'sinin ailesinde Covid-19 tanısı alan birey olduğu saptandı. Öğrencilerin SCÖ toplam puan ortalamasının 77.44±23.01 olduğu saptandı. Öğrencilerin sınıf düzeyi, sigara kullanma durumu, kronik hastalık varlığı, Covid-19 enfeksiyonu geçirme ve ailesinde Covid-19 enfeksiyonu geçiren birey varlığı durumunun SCÖ puanlarını anlamlı olarak farklılaştırdığı belirlendi.Sonuç ve Öneriler: Çalışmaya katılan öğrenciler orta düzeyde siberkondriye sahip oldukları belirlendi. Sınıf düzeyi, sigara kullanma durumu, kronik hastalık varlığı, Covid-19 enfeksiyonu geçirme ve ailesinde Covid-19 enfeksiyonu geçiren birey varlığı gibi değişkenlerin siberkondri davranışının önemli yordayıcıları olduğu belirlendi. Ebelik öğrencilerinde siberkondriyi en aza indirmek için, artan tehdit algısı ele alınarak ve belirsizlik yönetimi ve çevrimiçi sağlık bilgisi okuryazarlığı geliştirilerek bu yeni tehlikeyle mücadele için etkili bir plan geliştirilmelidir.

INTRODUCTION One of the most significant barriers to social immunization, which is critical in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, is vaccine hesitancy or rejection. The purpose of this study was to determine the acceptance, hesitancy and barriers to COVID-19 vaccines among midwives in Turkey. METHODS A total of 806 midwives participated in the cross-sectional study, which was conducted online from November 2020 to January 2021. The data were collected by using an Introductory Information Form, Anti-Vaccination Scale -Short Form, and Attitudes to the COVID-19 Vaccine Scale. RESULTS In all, 17.2% of the midwives in the study had a history of COVID-19 infection, which was confirmed by a PCR test; 69% were exposed to COVID-19 patients; 36.8% had a person diagnosed with COVID-19 with PCR in their family; and 18.1% had a relative die due to COVID-19. In the study, 16.8% of midwives considered getting the COVID-19 vaccine, while the majority (48.8%) stated they would get the vaccine once vaccine safety was established, while 10.5% stated that they did not wish to receive the vaccine. Insufficient phase studies of COVID-19 vaccine studies (75.6%) and insufficient control due to imported COVID-19 vaccines developed (48.1%) were among the most important determinants of COVID-19 vaccine reluctance. CONCLUSIONS The potential acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccines by the study midwives was found to be low. The knowledge, confidence and attitude of midwives toward vaccines are important determinants of patients' vaccine acceptance and recommendation.
