Objectives
This study was conducted to develop and evaluate a theoretical model to explain the relationships among participation in individual and social activities, compliance with prevention guidelines, and the perception of fatalism and fear of COVID‐19.
Methods
Cross‐sectional survey of 1,067 participants who were >18 years of age living in different provinces of Turkey recruited between August 15, 2020 and October 15, 2020. We used covariant structural analysis to assess the relationships of the constructs of the theoretical model.
Results
Significant fits were detected for Model 1 (χ2 = 924,389, p < .001, comparative fit index or CFI = 0.944), and for Model 2 (χ2 = 2,253,751, p < .001, CFI = 0.926). The predetermination and luck subdimensions reduce the fear of COVID‐19, while the pessimism subdimension and compliance with preventive measures increase the fear.
Conclusion
In public health crises such as COVID‐19, it is important to plan scientific knowledge‐based public education; take initiatives in accordance with the cultural, social, economic, religious, and local characteristics of the societies; and conduct public health studies covering the whole society.
The study aims to determine the physician–nurse and nurse–nurse collaboration levels of nurses and effective factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 477 nurses from five hospitals using a questionnaire. It was determined that the characteristics of working life explained 10% of the Nurse–Nurse Collaboration Scale and the regression model between variables and the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes Toward Physician–Nurse Collaboration was not statistically significant. Physician–nurse and nurse–nurse collaboration are affected by a variety of factors.
Objective
To develop and evaluate a theoretical model to explain the relationships between eHealth literacy and perception of health, and perception of pregnancy risk in pregnant women.
Method
This cross‐sectional study was carried out with 238 pregnant women in one of the hospitals in Turkey between March 15, 2021 and May 15, 2021. Data were collected using an Information Form, eHealth Literacy Scale, Perception of Health Scale, and Perception of Pregnancy Risk Questionnaire.
Results
The mean scores of the pregnant women participating in the study on eHealth literacy and perception of health were 30.45 ± 6.56 and 51.42 ± 6.91, respectively and their mean score on perception of pregnancy risk was 42.6 ± 29.38. The direct effect of the eHealth Literacy Scale on the “Risk for Baby” subscale of the Perception of Pregnancy Risk Questionnaire was insignificant whereas the scale's effect became significant with the Perception of Health Scale (β = −0.006; 0.057).
Conclusion
To reduce the perception of risk in pregnant women, it is important to improve not only their eHealth literacy but also their knowledge and attitudes about being healthy.
