This study aimed to assess university students' levels of psychological distress and mental health literacy.Design and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study using selfassessment instruments with 417 volunteer university students was conducted in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year.Findings: More than half of the participants had diagnosable psychological distress in terms of mental illness. The participants had a low level of mental health literacy, females and people with a mental illness had higher mental health literacy scores.Practice Implications: The results indicated that the scales could be used to develop interventions to assist Turkish students' transition to healthy adulthood. Determining individuals' psychological distress allows early detection of mental problems.
The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected every aspect of human life. In these challenging times nursing students, facing academic and psychological issues, are advised to use augmented reality applications in the field of health sciences for increasing their motivations and academic performances. The main motive of the study was to examine the acceptance status of nursing students in implementing augmented reality technology in their education and training. The study is a quantitative research study, and it uses the causal-comparative screening method. The data used in the study was collected online from 419 nursing students. The hybrid method was preferred. First, the hypotheses based on the linear relationships were defined between the variables which were then tested by the method of structural equation modeling. Second, the method of artificial neural networks was used to determine the non-linear relationships between the variables. The results show that the nursing students have a high intention of using augmented reality technology as a way of self-learning. It was also found that the most emphasized motive behind this intention is the expectation that using augmented reality technology will increase their academic performance. They also think that AR technology has many potential benefits to offer in the future. It was observed that a considerable number of students already use augmented reality technology for its usefulness and with a hedonic motivation. In conclusion, nursing students have a high acceptance of using augmented reality technology during their education and training process. Since we live in a world where e-learning and self-learning education/training have become widespread, it is estimated that students will demand augmented reality applications as a part of holistic education, and as an alternative to traditional textbooks.
Bu çalışmada COVİD-19 pandemisi sırasında Türk toplumunda anksiyete, kişisel koruyucu davranışlar ve ilişkili faktörleri incelemeyi amaçlanmıştır. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Örneklemimizi 18-75 yaş arası, okur-yazar, çalışmaya gönüllü 617 birey oluşturmuştur. Araştırma onamı, amacı ve sorular soft ortamda bireylere bir link vasıtasıyla ulaştırılmış ve formlar yine soft ortamda cevaplanan anketlerin iletilmesiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında, araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan COVİD-19 ile ilgili soruları ve sosyo-demografik verileri içeren form ve Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri (STAI-Durumluk) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmada 617 gönülle değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılanların %59.48 (367)'i kadın, %40.52 (250)'si erkekti. Katılımcıların % 30.79 (190)'unda yüksek seviyede kaygı düzeyleri saptanmıştır. Başlıca gerçekleştirilen kişisel koruyucu davranış yüksek oranda elleri sık sık yıkama şeklindedir. (%84.76). İkinci sıklıkta ise insanlarla en az bir metre mesafe koyma davranışıdır. (%8.6). Katılımcıların %5.02 (31)'i maske takmakta, %1.62 (10) kişi ise hiçbir koruyucu önlem almamaktadır. Çalışmada erkeklerde (p=0.008), tanılanmış kronik hastalığı olanlarda (p=0.003), yaşlılarda (p<0.001) ve daha düşük eğitim düzeyi olanlarda (p<0.001) daha yüksek kaygı düzeyleri saptanmıştır. Kişisel koruyucu davranışlardan kaçınıcı davranış yüksek kaygı düzeyi ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, COVID-19 salgınının fiziksel sonuçlarına ek olarak, psikolojik sonuçların da dikkate alınması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Çalışmamızda bazı alt gruplarda kaygı riski daha yüksek belirlenmiştir. Profesyonel desteğe ihtiyaç duyan insanlar tanımlanmalı ve psikolojik destek planlanmalıdır.
