“…KMO and Bartlett’s sphericity tests were performed to check the suitability of the sample size and the suitability of the data set for analysis. The fact that the KMO test was greater than 0.60 and the P value of the Barlett's sphericity test was significant showed the adequacy of the sample and the suitability of the data set[ 34 , 38 , 39 ].…”

BACKGROUND Sleep breathing, one of the basic human needs, is a physiological need that affects cardiac functions, body temperature, daily vitality, muscle tone, hormone secretion, blood pressure, and many more. In the international literature, studies reported that patients have had sleep problems in the hospital since the 1990s, but no measurement tool has been developed to determine the causes of hospital-acquired insomnia in individuals. These findings suggest that sleep remains in the background compared to activities such as nutrition and breathing. Although patients generally experience hospital-acquired sleep problems, there is no measurement tool to determine hospital-acquired sleep problems. These features show the originality of the research. AIM To develop a measurement tool to determine the sleep problems experienced by patients in the hospital. METHODS A personal information form, hospital-acquired insomnia scale (HAIS), and insomnia severity index (ISI) were used to collect research data. The study population consisted of patients hospitalized in the internal and surgical clinics of a research hospital in Turkey between December 2021 and March 2022. The sample consisted of 64 patients in the pilot application stage and 223 patients in the main application stage. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) analyses were performed using the SPSS 20 package program and the analysis of moment structure (AMOS) package program. Equivalent forms method used. RESULTS The HAIS consisted of 18 items and 5 subscales. The Cronbach alpha values of the subscales ranged between 0.672 and 0.842 and the Cronbach alpha value of the overall scale was 0.783. The scale explained 58.269% of the total variance. The items that constitute the factors were examined in terms of content integrity and named as physical environmental, psychological, safety, socioeconomic, and nutritional factors. CFA analysis of the 5-factor structure was performed in the AMOS package program. The fit indices of the obtained structure were examined. It was determined that the values obtained from the fit indices were sufficient. A significant correlation was determined between the HAIS and the ISI, which was used for the equivalent form method. CONCLUSION The HAIS is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining patients’ level of hospital-acquired insomnia. It is recommended to use this measurement tool to determine the insomnia problems of patients and to adapt it in other countries.

PurposeVideo game streaming (VGS) is emerging as an extremely popular, highly interactive, inordinately subscribed and very dynamic form of digital media. Incorporated environmental elements, gratifications and user pre-existing attitudes in VGS, this paper presents the development of an extended model of uses and gratification theory (EUGT) for predicting users' behavior in novel technological context.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed model was empirically tested in VGS context due to its popularity, interactivity and relevance. Data collected from 308 VGS users and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to assess the hypotheses. Multi-model comparison technique was used to assess the explanatory power of EUGT.FindingsThe findings confirmed three significant types elements in determining VGS viewers' engagement, including gratifications (e.g. involvement), environmental cues (e.g. medium appeal) and user predispositions (e.g. pre-existing attitudes). The results revealed that emerging technologies provide potential opportunities for new motives and gratifications, and highlighted the significant of pre-existing attitudes as a mediator in the gratification-uses link.Originality/valueThis study is one of its kind in tackling the criticism on UGT of considering media users too rational or active. The study achieved this objective by considering environmental impacts on user behavior which is largely ignored in recent UGT studies. Also, by incorporating users pre-existing attitudes into UGT framework, this study conceptualized and empirically verified the higher explanatory power of EUGT through a novel multi-modal approach in VGS. Compared to other rival models, EUGS provides a more robust explanation of users' behavior. The findings contribute to the literature of UGT, VGS and users' engagement.

The purpose of this paper was to contribute to the dimension of online consumer engagement in the emerging markets. The study is based on the social presence theory factors. The study evaluated 443 data sets obtained through a standardized Qualtrics online survey to examine social presence theory to predict online consumer engagement in the emerging markets. The study employed AMOS v24 with the covariance-based structural equation modelling technique to investigate the relationship between social context, online communication, interactivity, privacy and online consumer engagement. The study also assessed social gratification as a mediator in the relationship between online communication and online consumer engagement. Furthermore, the study evaluated technology gratification as a moderator of interaction effect in the relationship between online communication and online consumer engagement. The study results showed that the effect of social context was not significant. In contrast, online communication, interactivity and privacy’s effects on online consumer engagement were significant. The social gratification as a mediator and technology gratification as a moderator were significant towards online consumer engagement. This paper is pioneering in that it generates the effects of social presence theory factors and some intervening variables in the context of online consumer engagement in the emerging markets at the micro-level. This area is relevant to scholars, marketing and brand practitioners in digital consumer social behaviour.
