Introduction Nowadays, cosmetic surgery procedures have become quite popular. In this study, cosmetic surgery preferences and cause–effect relationships will be examined. Methods In our study, a sociodemographic data questionnaire prepared by the researcher, Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS), and Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI) were used. The surveys were conducted on random people over the age of 18, and approximately 511 people were reached. Results The mean age of those included in the study was 39.18 ± 8.9 years, and 75.05% were female and 24.95% were male. It was concluded that there was a statistically significant, linear, same‐sided, and weak relationship between BIQLI scores and daily life sub‐dimension, although not between the age of the individuals and their ACSS scores. Female individuals' ACSS scores, interpersonal, social, and thoughts mean scores were significantly higher than male individuals. As the total scores of ACSS increase, the scores of interaction with partner also increase. It was observed that people mostly believed that cosmetic surgery would make them feel good and that they should definitely try it if it made them happy. The rate of not choosing was high because of the fear of side effects and financial concerns. Conclusion Although the individuals participating in our study gave themselves high satisfaction scores on subjects such as the joy of life, self‐confidence, social relations, and the need to appear attractive to partner, they had a positive view of cosmetic surgery procedures. It was seen that the feeling of dissatisfaction came to the fore among the reasons.

Introduction It is important to evaluate the nutrition of patients in palliative care centers. Most patients are not recognized and are undertreated due to lack of consensus on the ways to scan, diagnose, treat and track malnutrition, and lack of adequate awareness and training for health workers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the approaches and awareness of healthcare professionals who provide nutritional support in Palliative Care Centers in Turkey. Methods The 22-question health care assessment questionnaire prepared by the researchers was applied virtually to all health personnel who worked, reached and volunteered with palliative care patients.The data was evaluated using descriptive and analytical statistical methods. Results The average age of 105 health workers participating in our study was 36.4±9.3 (25-59), while 68 (64.8%) were women, 37 (35.2%) were men. 67 (63.8%) experts, 30 (28.6%) assistants and practitioners, 8 (7.6%) nurses were among the participants, most of whom were physicians. The most answer to the question of how many of their patients started feeding products was that I would start 41-60% patients with 38 (36.2%) people.In the question “Do you think you know enough about nutritional products as ingredients?”, 28 people (26.7%) answered yes, 30 people (28.6%) answered no, and 47 (44.8%) answered some of them. Discussion In our study, participants were seen to have a high degree of lack of knowledge and awareness, and differences were observed in patient approaches. Many of the participants need nutritional training and continuity to be aware.

Background: With the Covid-19 pandemic, those who care about working online from home office, computer and / or phone. it is aimed to pay attention to the use of telemedicine in the field of health and the attitudes of specialist physicians. Methods: 85 specialist physicians participated in our research. The collected selection analysis was performed with the SPSS 22.0 program. Results: Physicians working in internal sciences constituted 76.47% (n=65) of the study group. Among the matched branches, 24% (n=16) of clinical sciences consisted of pediatricians and their sub-branch physicians. 84.70% (n=72) of the physicians participating in the study did not perform video examination with telemedicine. Since it was only reviewed with telemedicine during working hours; 90.58% (n=77) of our study group stated that patients with at least 29 and below can be treated. During both face-to-face and telemedicine visual examinations, 83.52% (n=71) of our study group stated that a maximum of 9 patients could be treated by telemedicine. 85.88% of our study (percussion, palpation, auscultation) thought that telemedicine might be insufficient in evaluating the inspection user physical examination components. As for what precautions should be taken before telemedicine applications are popularized by the public, 83% of our physicians were supporters of the insurance company that wanted to intervene in helping the malpractice police. It should be considered as 76.47% (n=65) of our study group. Conclusions: It is thought that telemedicine will facilitate the work of specialist physicians. However, more studies and data are needed before it can be used.

Methods: This study has a cross-sectional analytical design. A sample size of 141 was found to produce a two-sided 95% confidence interval and an estimated standard deviation of 6141 people who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. The dependent variable in the study was the health literacy level determined by using the Turkish Health Literacy Scale. Student’s t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.
