“…It is stated that if the VIF values of the variables are 5 and above, there is a moderate degree of multicollinearity between the variables, while values of 10 and above cause a high degree of multicollinearity. In this study, no variable caused multicollinearity among the independent variables ( Alkan et al, 2023a ; Alkan and Kavalcı, 2023 ; Güney et al, 2023 ).…”

This study aims to determine the factors associated with seeking psychological help among individuals experiencing depression according to gender differences in Türkiye.MethodsThe study utilized microdata from Türkiye Health Survey conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute in 2016, 2019, and 2022. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the factors associated with seeking psychological help.ResultsThe study’s findings reveal that variables such as survey year, age, education level, employment status, general health status, disease status, depression status, day service status in the hospital, daily activity status, tobacco use status, and alcohol use status are associated with the status of receiving psychological help.ConclusionGender-specific analysis indicated variations in the significance and impact of these variables among individuals seeking psychological help.

Purpose Cancer screening is a public health intervention aiming to reduce cancer-caused deaths. This study aims to determine the factors affecting the mammography screening time among women aged 40–69. Methods The micro dataset obtained from the Türkiye Health Survey conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) in 2019 and 2022 was used in the present study. Stereotype logistic regression was used to determine the variables affecting mammography screening and period for breast cancer prevention in women in Türkiye. Results Given the results achieved from the analysis, it was found that factors such as age, marital status, general health condition, comorbidity, receiving psychosocial support, high blood lipid levels, and performing breast self-examinations affected women’s adherence to cancer screening programs. Conclusion Since adherence to mammography increases with age, it is recommended to pay importance to education for women approaching the age of mammography screening. Educated individuals are expected to have access to multiple sources of information as to cancer and to access this information more easily. In order to gain more insight into the recommended preventive measures and outcomes related to cancer, it is suggested to review policies, which will increase the educational level of women, and provide privileges in the field of education.
