Purpose This study was conducted to assess the stigmatizing attitudes of nursing students toward individuals who had made suicide attempts as well as these students' attitudes toward death. Design and Methods The universe of this descriptive and cross‐sectional study consisted of 650 students studying in the fall semester of the 2017–18 academic year. No sample selection was made and a total of 560 students who agreed to participate in the study were reached. The Stigma of Suicide Scale (SOSS) and the Death Attitude Profile‐Revised (DAP‐R) were used as data collection tools. Findings We found that the students had a moderately positive attitude toward death and, in terms of the DAP‐R, they exhibited more Neutral Acceptance and Approach Acceptance. It was determined that the stigma against suicide decreased when positive attitudes toward death increased. Practice Implications To reduce stigmatizing attitudes toward suicide, it is important to ensure that students learn about both death and suicide earlier during their education, to design forms of training that aim to eliminate negative beliefs and attitudes toward suicide attempts and to ensure that this training is sustainable.

The objective of this review is to draw attention to smoking cessation in view of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM). A large body of literature published in the last 15 years was screened by searching the keywords of "Smoking" and "Transtheoretical Model." The Transtheoretical model consists of stages of change and is used to explain addictive behaviors such as smoking. It addresses behavioral change by taking into consideration factors such as planning and decision-making. This article examines this theory and sets forth the processes of change, according to the positive and negative evaluations and strength of the smoking habit. Although the stages of change and the transitions between these stages have not been clearly defined, it still helps in understanding the nature of some addictive behaviors, particularly smoking.

Her organın diğer adı flora olan mikrobiyotası bulunmaktadır. Mikrobiyota denince akla ilk olarak gastrointestinal sistem gelmektedir. İntestinal mikrobiyotadaki mikroplar, insan fizyolojisinin biçimlendirilmesi, sürdürülmesi ve homeostazda aktif olarak görev almaktadır. İntestinal mikrobiyota, en fazla sayıda bakteri ve sinir hücresi bulundurduğu için, ikinci beyin olarak adlandırılmaktadır. İnutero geliştiği düşünülmekte olup, çeşitli çevresel faktörlerden etkilenmektedir. İmmun sistemin fonksiyonunda ve metabolizmanın regülasyonunda önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, kanserler, tip 2 diyabet, Alzheimer gibi kronik hastalıklarla ilişkilidir. Bazı hastalıkların ortaya çıkmasında, disbiyozun rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir. Yapılacak bazı müdahalelerle hastalıkların önlenmesi mümkün olsa da konu ile ilgili ileri çalışmalara gerek bulunmaktadır.
