This research is a quantitative study carried out to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of expectant mothers towards sibling jealousy and the jealousy behaviors observed in their children using a relational search model. The study group consisted of 390 hospitalized mothers in the Gynecology Clinic of a University Hospital between August 2015 and August 2016. The data were collected using surveys developed by the researchers after the required permissions were obtained according to the ethical guidelines. The basic data such as the participants' knowledge about sibling jealousy, the methods they used to avoid it and their demographic information were presented with frequency and percentage tables. In order to determine the relationship between the mean scores of current jealousy behaviors of the children and those after learning that they would have a new sibling, the t test, one of the parametric tests, was applied because of the normal distribution of the data obtained after the assumptions of normality were examined. As a result of the statistical procedures, almost all of the mothers (94.6%) said to have informed the big sibling about their pregnancy, most of the participants (58.5%) had information to avoid jealousy among the siblings, more than half of them (52.3%) did not get any information about childrearing before, and those who did mostly got it from television/ the internet. In our study, it was observed that sibling jealousy is more common in siblings with a higher average age and in girls. Besides, it is more common among the children whose mothers aged 35 years and under and high school graduates and the sibling jealousy behaviors after the baby came home were found to be significantly lower than those after learning that they would have a new sibling.

<p>This study aims to analyze the effect of the Mother and Child Education Program on the relationship between mothers and their five- or six-year-old children. The study used an experimental design of pretest-posttest-monitoring test with a control group. The participants consisted of 50 preschool children aged five or six along with their mothers. Twenty-five were in the experimental group and 25 were in the control group. Members of the experimental group participated in the Mother and Child Education Program once a week for ten weeks. The study data were collected using the Child-Parent Relationship Scale developed by Pianta in 1992 to evaluate the parent-child relationship and adapted to Turkish language by Akgün and Yeşilyaprak (2010). The NCSS 2007 (Number Cruncher Statistical System-Kaysville, Utah, USA) was used for statistical analyses. The Independent Samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Paired Samples t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare quantitative data. Significance was evaluated at the levels of p&lt;0.01 and p&lt;0.05. The findings of this study showed a difference between the mother-child relationship scores of the experimental and control groups in favor of the experimental group (p&lt;0.05), and that the effects of the education program continued long-term.</p>

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the " Training Program to Promote The Knowledge and Awareness of Prospective Preschool Teachers" developed to promote the knowledge and awareness of prospective preschool teachers concerning emotional neglect and abuse. The study group comprised a total of 120 prospective teachers (60 prospective teachers in the experimental group and 60 prospective teachers in the control group) attending Cumhuriyet University, Faculty of Education, Department of Preschool Education in 2014-2015 school year.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 3-6 yaş çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin duygusal istismar potansiyellerinin bazı değişkenler açısından incelenmesidir. Araştırma çalışma grubu 3-6 yaş aralığında çocuğa sahip ve çocuğu resmi okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarına devam eden 464 ebeveynden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların duygusal istismar potansiyellerini ölçmek amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen "3-6 Yaş Çocuğa Sahip Ebeveynlere Yönelik Duygusal İstismar Potansiyeli Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde parametrik olmayan testlerden Mann Whitney U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanılmıştır. Annelerin babalara göre çocuklarına daha fazla duygusal istismarda bulundukları, üniversite mezunu ebeveynlerin duygusal istismara neden olan davranışları daha fazla sergilerken, lisansüstü mezunu ebeveynlerin ise önleyici davranışları daha fazla sergiledikleri yönünde anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Ebeveynlerin yaşları arttıkça duygusal istismarı önleme potansiyellerinin arttığı, çocuk sayısı bakımından ise tek çocuklu ebeveynlerin duygusal istismarı önleme ve duygusal istismara neden olma boyutunda anlamlı farklılık oluşturdukları görülmüştür.
