The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between pregnant women's fear of coronavirus (COVID-19), depression, and spiritual well-being. This cross-sectional research was carried out with 336 pregnant women living in a city in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey between the 1st of March and 30th of March 2021. For data collection, the scales of the Fear of COVID-19, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Spiritual Well-being were administered to the participants. The pregnant women’s fear of COVID-19 was found to be at a moderate level, their depression was at a mild level, and their spiritual well-being was above the moderate level. It was found that there was a significant negative correlation between the spiritual well-being levels of pregnant women and their fear of COVID-19 and depression. Moreover, it was also found that there was a significant positive correlation between pregnant women’s levels of fear of COVID-19 and depression ( p < 0.001). It is recommended that relevant spiritual care practices can be disseminated and implemented effectively to reduce pregnant women’s fear and depression during the pandemic. In addition, when providing care to pregnant women, health professionals can adopt a holistic approach to increase pregnant women’s spiritual well-being.

The current study aimed to determine the relationship between fear of death and their caregiver roles in nurses during the COVID-19. The research data were collected with the personal information form, the Thanatophobia scale, the Scale of Nurses’ Attitudes to Their Caregiver Roles (SNACR), the Google Questionnaire Form. Of the nurses participating in the study, 16.1% were diagnosed with COVID-19. The current study found statistically significant differences among the thanatophobia mean scores of the groups composed according to the variables; age, gender, marital status, job position, voluntarily choosing the profession, satisfaction with the department, having had a COVID-19 diagnosis, personal assessments about their own COVID-19 knowledge, and evaluating the COVID-19 disease as fatal. In addition, there were statistically significant differences among the SNACR mean scores of the groups according to their evaluations about gender, income level, working experience as a nurse, being diagnosed with COVID-19, and their COVID-19 knowledge. The current study found no correlation between the nurses' Thanatophobia scale score and SNACR score.

Araştırma üniversite öğrencilerinde premenstrual sendrom ile kişilik özellikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Çalışma Planı: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tiptedir. Araştırmanın evrenini bir kamu üniversitesinin fakülte ve yüksek okullarında örgün öğretimde öğrenim gören 2426 kız öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemini 736 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında Katılımcı Tanıtım Formu, Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği ve Cervantes Kişilik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler 19 Eylül-4 Kasım 2016 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik analiz testi, aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, bağımsız gruplarda t testi, pearson kolerasyon analizi ve Ki kare testleri kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırmada öğrencilerin %62'sinde premenstrual sendrom saptanmıştır. Araştırmada öğrencilerin duygusal denge/nörotizm ve tutarlı/tutarsız olma kişilik özellikleri ile premenstrual sendrom arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Ancak öğrencilerin dışa/içe dönük olma kişilik özelliği ile premenstrual sendrom arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Öğrencilerin Cervantes Kişilik Ölçeği dışa dönük olma alt boyutu puan ortalaması arttıkça Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği'nin iştah değişimi alt boyutu puan ortalamasının azaldığı, Cervantes Kişilik Ölçeği nörotizm alt boyutu puan ortalaması arttığında ise paralel olarak Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği tüm alt boyut puan ortalamalarının arttığı saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç:Öğrencilerin yarısından fazlasında premenstrual sendrom olduğu, nörotik ve tutarsız kişilerde daha fazla premenstrual sendrom görüldüğü bulunmuştur. Premenstrual sendrom tedavi ve bakım yaklaşımında kişilik özelliğine dikkat edilmesi gerektiği önerilmektedir.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between dysmenorrhea and personality traits in university students. Methods: The research was cross-sectional. The research sample comprised 2,426 female students. The sample of this study comprised 772 students, determined by power analysis. The Participant Presentation Form and the Cervantes Personality Scale were used for data collection, and arithmetic mean, standard deviation, chi-square, independent samples t test, Pearson's correlation test, and Cronbach's alpha reliability analysis were used for evaluating the data. Results: It was determined that 85% of the students experienced dysmenorrhea. It was found that students between the ages of 19 and 25 had more dysmenorrhea than those 18 and under. In addition, it was found that as students moved from emotionally balanced to neuroticism and from inconsistent personality traits to consistent personality traits, dysmenorrhea increased (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The study found that the majority of students experienced dysmenorrhea and dysmenorrhea was more prevalent in emotionally neurotic and coherent individuals. It is recommended that the health staff should approach women in a holistic way by knowing that dysmenorrhea affects personality traits.
