Objectives: Currently, depression, anxiety, and stress among medical students are important health issues at global level. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety, stress among medical students, and its association with socio-demographic characteristics and sleep quality. Materials and Methods: DASS-42 Scale and Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire were used to assess information on depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality. A total of 610 students (44.10% males and 55.90% females) with mean age of 20.90±2.10 years participated in the present study. Results: The overall prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress were 60%, 66%, and 63% among all participated medical students, respectively. Depression level was high among students with poor economic level. Anxiety level was high among pre-clinical students with poor economic level, females and the ones whose choice of the medical faculties was not voluntarily. Stress level was higher in females. The correlation between sleep quality and depression, anxiety, stress was found statistically significant, negative, and low level. High depression, anxiety, and stress levels decreased students' sleep quality. Conclusion:An important proportion of medical students had high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Providing individual guidance and psychological counseling services for medical students could be beneficial.
ÖZ Giriş: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin hasta güvenliği konusunda bilgi düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini bir üniversitenin hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmuştur. Örneklem seçiminde evrenin tamamına ulaşılması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışma sonunda evrenin %79'una ulaşılarak 551 öğrenci ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Veriler anket formu ile toplanmıştır. Etik kurul onayı, kurum izni ve bireylerden yazılı olur alınmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin çoğunun (% 77.3) hasta güvenliği konusunda yetersiz düzeyde bilgi sahibi olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Çalışmaya katılanların %89.3' ünün hasta güvenliğine ait riskleri belirleme, planlama, uygulama ve değerlendirmenin hemşirelik rolü olduğunu ifade etmelerine rağmen, sadece % 24.7' sinin oluşturulmuş hasta güvenliği uygulamalarına destek olmayı hasta güvenliğinde hemşirelik rolü olarak gördüğü belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak öğrencilerin çoğunun hasta güvenliğinde hemşirenin rolleri, tıbbi hataları önlemeye yönelik uygulamalar ve tıbbi hata ile karşılaşıldığında izlenmesi gereken yol konularında bilgilerinin yetersiz olduğu belirlenmiştir.Anahtar kelimeler: Hasta güvenliği, hemşirelik öğrencileri, tıbbi hatalar ABSTRACT Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the knowledge level of nursing students about patient safety. Materials and Methods: The universe of the study consisted of second, third and fourth grade students studying in the nursing department of a university. In the sample selection, it is aimed to reach the whole universe. At the end of the study, 79% of the universe was reached and the study was completed with 551 students. Data were collected by questionnaire form. Ethics committee approval, institutional permission and written consent of individuals were obtained. Results: It was determined that most of the students (77.3%) had insufficient knowledge about patient safety. It was found that most of them did not have any opinion about the practices to prevent medical errors (59.7%) and the way to be followed when errors were encountered (44.8%). Although 89.3% of the participants stated that planning, implementing, and evaluating the risks related to patient safety had a nursing role, only 24.7% of them considered supporting the established patient safety practices as nursing role in patient safety. Conclusion: As a result, it was determined that most of the students had insufficient knowledge about the roles of the nurse in patient safety, applications to prevent medical errors and the way to be followed when medical errors were encountered.
Araştırmanın amacı Aile Sağlığı Merkezleri'nde çalışan sağlık personelinin sağlık uygulaması hakkındaki düşüncelerini öğrenmek ve bakış açılarını değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmamız, Afyonkarahisar'da 30 Aile Sağlığı Merkezi'nde görev yapmakta olan 52 hekim ve 64 aile sağlığı elemanı üzerinde gerçekleştirilen kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Araştırmada bölgede fiili olarak çalışan 134 sağlık personelinin 116'sına (%86,6) ulaşılmıştır. Anket formu katılımcılar tarafından dolduruldu. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan Aile Sağlığı Merkezi çalışanlarının %64,4'ü (n=67) sosyal ve ekonomik sebeplerle; %35,6'sı (n=37) birinci basamağı sevmesi, rekabet ve performansı arttırması, hastaların yararına bir uygulama olduğunu düşünmeleri sebebiyle aile hekimliği uygulamasında yer almayı kabul etmişlerdir. 10 yıl ve üzerinde bu meslekte çalışan hekimlerin, 10 yıl altındakilere göre Aile Hekimliği uygulamasından ayrılmak istemedikleri ortaya çıkmıştır (p<0,001). Aile Hekimliği uygulamasını, katılımcıların 47'si (%45,6) başarılı, 32'si (%31,1) başarısız bulurken 24'ü (%23,3) ise hem başarılı hem de başarısız yönlerinin olduğunu düşünmektedir. Tartışma: Araştırmamızın sonucunda aile hekimliği uygulamasının olumlu ve olumsuz yönlerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sağlık personelinin özlük haklarının korunması, çalışma koşullarının düzeltilmesi, iş güvenliliğinin sağlanması, çalışanlara eşit hakların verilmesi, sağlık personelinin aile hekimliği uygulamasına uyumunu hızlandıracaktır.
Background:The aim of this study is to measure the level of internet addiction among high school adolescents and to determine the relationship between their time spent on the internet and the back and neck pain and eye health problems they experience.Methods: The study is a simple cross-sectional descriptive study. 8926 high school students participated in the study. Students were selected by cluster sampling method pursuant to their gender, school type, and grade distributions. Young's short internet addiction test (IAT) that was adapted to Turkish was utilized. Results: The average internet addiction score of the students was 26.88 ± 8.80. While the ratio of students with a high risk of addiction was 44.3% (n=3950), the ratio of those, who were addicted, was 15.7% (n=1400). A significant positive correlation was found between the addiction level and the lower back, neck pain and eye disorders. (p<0.001; p<0.001; p<0.001) The smartphone possession rate of students was 96.4% (n=8606). There was a significant positive correlation between having a smartphone and the level of addiction, neck pain, and eye complaints. (p=0.005; p=0.002; p=0.003, respectively)The ratio of students, who have a computer at home, was 79.8% (n=7122). Eye complaints were found to be significantly higher in those, who had a computer at home (p<0.001).Conclusion: Internet addiction is an important and common problem among adolescents. Internet addiction increases, as the age of adolescents increases. Smartphones are the most important risk factor for the spread of internet addiction. Internet addiction leads to muscle-joint pain, and eye-related symptoms.
The study was conducted to determine the problem solving skills with peer support of nursing and midwifery students. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 305 students. The data were collected using student information form, Problem Solving Inventory and Peer Cooperation Scale. Students’ peer support and problem-solving skills are moderate. 1st classes in the nursing department, 2nd classes in the midwifery department, those who choose the profession because they feel close to themselves in both departments and those who are satisfied with their department, those who have authoritarian families in the nursing department and, those who have democratic and extremely relevant families in the midwifery department of students peer support scores are high. Men and 3rd classes in the nursing department, , 1st and 2nd classes in the midwifery department, those who chose their department for their family request in both departments and are not satisfied with their department, those who have authoritarian families in the nursing departmen, those who have irrelevant families in the midwifery department of students problem-solving scores are high. While there was no significant relationship between the nursing student’s problem solving and peer support total scores, a negative correlation was found between the midwifery students’ problem solving and peer support total scores. It was determined that the peer support and problem solving skills of the students were at a moderate level, the problem solving skills of the nursing students and the peer support of the midwifery students were higher. It was determined that the department, class, satisfaction with the department, reason for department preference and the family structure affected the peer support and problem solving skills.
