The study aims to determine the correlation between health literacy (HL) and mental health literacy (MHL) in Turkish society.Design and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey, a form of quantitative research. Data were collected from participants with the personal information form,
Aim The research was carried out to determine the attitudes of nursing undergraduate students toward e-learning implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subject and methods The study sample consisted of 320 undergraduate students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Nursing Department of a state university. Personal Information Form and the Test of e-Learning Related Attitudes were administered to the research participants. Results Of the students, 68.8% were female and 51.6% were between the ages of 21–24. The attitude of 55.3% (177) toward e-learning is negative. Attitude scores of students aged 25–29 were significantly higher compared to those aged 17–20 and 21–24 years old ( p = 0.002). The attitude scores of the students who have a computer are significantly higher than those who do not ( p = 0.001). Most students did not agree with the statement “E-learning will provide me with better learning opportunities than conventional learning methods.” (disagree n = 121; 37.8%, strongly disagree n = 110; 34.4%). Conclusion It is noticed that e-learning is not sufficient in subjects such as conducting clinical and laboratory practices in health sciences fields with practical training like nursing, and students’ attitudes are generally negative. For undergraduate health sciences education, face-to-face and online education for support purposes can be used together in theoretical courses. In addition, it is recommended to use effective online communication techniques in online courses.
Objective: To determine coronavirus disease-2019 vaccination intent and factors influencing the decision among university students. Method: The analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from 25 January - 25 February 2021 at a state university in Mugla, Turkey, and comprised undergraduate students. Data was collected using a self-designed questionnaire through Google Forms. Factors affecting vaccination intent were identified using multinomial logistic models. Data was analysed using SPSS 22. Results: Of the 1069 subjects, 629(58.8%) were females and 440(41.2%) were males. The overall mean age of the sample was 21.34+/-2.99. Overall, 712(66.6%) students were enrolled in health-related fields, and 357(33.4%) were pursuing non-medical degrees. Besides, 578(54.1%) students intended to have the vaccine. While 458(64.3%) of the subjects studying health-related subjects intended to have the vaccine, only 120(33.8%) in other academic streams said they would get vaccinated. Students who had had the disease or had been in contact with someone who had it 102(33%) were more likely to believe that the vaccine was safe. Smoking, having a flu vaccine in the past, and having a coronavirus disease-2019 test were the factors influencing the intent to have the vaccination (p<0.05). Conclusion: Having had a flu vaccine in the past, social media use, history of, or exposure to, coronavirus disease-2019 and enrolment in health-related programme of studies were the factors influencing the vaccination intent of the students. Key Words: COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccine, Vaccine intent, University student, Public health.
