Öğe Academicians' Job Satisfaction and Effective Factors(Deomed Publ, Istanbul, 2019) Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Temel, Munire; Bilgic, SebnemThe aim of this study is to determine the level of job satisfaction of academicians and to determine the effect of socio-demographic characteristics, workload, work-family and family-job conflicts on job satisfaction. The study was conducted with 209 academicians working at a state university. The data were collected using the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, Work-Family, Family-Work Conflict Scale, and a form including sociodemographic variables. In the study, job satisfaction scores of women compared to men, research assistants compared to professors/associate professors, and academicians not satisfied with their job and salary compared to those satisfied were found out to be significantly low. Variables such as being a woman, working as a research assistant, devoting much time to scientific work, and having a child of 0-6 years of age lead to differences in the scores of work-family, family-work conflict. There is a significant negative relationship between work-family, family-work conflict and job satisfaction. It was determined that despite the job satisfaction level not being low, academicians experience more work-family conflict. It is clear that job-family conflict affects the performance of both the individual and the organization, and that a supporting organizational culture would have a positive effect on job satisfaction as well as on family-work balance. In order to balance the family and career, there is a need to develop both organizational and individual coping strategies.Öğe Assessment of Nursing Students' Stress Levels and Coping Strategies During Their First Clinical Experience(Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2021) Bilgic, Sebnem; Celikkalp, UlfiyeObjective: This study was performed in order to examine the clinical stress levels of nursing students during their first clinical practice and their stress coping styles. Methods: This descriptive study was performed with 91 freshmen in the nursing department of Namik Kemal University who experienced clinical practice for the first time. Data was collected using a student identification form, the clinical stress questionnaire and the stress-coping patterns scale. Results: The students' mean age was 19.94 +/- 2.91. The mean stress score of the students during their first clinical experience was found to be 29.16 +/- 7.92. When the stress coping styles of the students were examined, their mean self-confidence approach score was 2.93 +/- 0.54, their seeking social support score was 2.73 +/- 0.48, their optimistic approach score was 2.68 +/- 0.61, their helpless/self-accusatory approach score was 2.17 +/- 0.50, and their submissive approach score was 1.84 +/- 0.44. Conclusion: The clinical stress levels of the students were found to be low and the students were found to use the confident approach most in coping with stress.Öğe Cancer screening behaviors and health literacy levels of women aged 30 and over in the northwest Turkey(Mre Press, 2024) Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Irmak, Aylin YalcinThe aim of this study was to determine the cancer screening behaviors and the associated factors of women aged 30 years and older during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The study was carried out as a cross-sectional study with 301 women aged 30 years and older in Edirne, which is a border province in northwestern Turkiye. The data was collected via using the Personal Information Form and the and Turkiye Health Literacy Scale-32 (THL-32). In the statistical analysis, the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, pearson correlation analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were used. The mean age of the participants is 43.66 +/- 9.02 years. 74.8% of the women had not undergone any screening tests during the pandemic, and 80.7% of them displayed limited and inadequate health literacy levels. 21.9% of women aged 30 and over received Pap smear screening, 22.3% of women aged 40 and over underwent mammography, and 16.7% of women aged 50 and over had screening colonoscopy. Based on the results of multivariate regression analysis, those with adequate health literacy (Odds Ratio (OR): 4.421, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.114-17.539), those who had undergone breast examination performed by a physician (OR: 22.761, 95% CI: 5.930-87.364), and those who participated in papsmear screening (OR: 4.509, 95% CI: 1.605-12.672) were more likely to participate in mammography screening. Women who had a breast examination performed by a physician were also more likely to participate in pap-smear screening (OR: 1.139, 95% CI: 1.074-1.965) and colonoscopy screening (OR: 7.924, 95% CI: 2.384-26.375). The research group showed low levels of participation in cancer screening tests and low levels of health literacy. It is necessary to conduct more awareness-raising campaigns for target groups to encourage them to participate in the screening programs and to improve their health literacy.Öğe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Lung Cancer Mortality Attributed to Air Pollution in Turkiye in 2019(Taiwan Assoc Aerosol Res-Taar, 2023) Yekdes, Didem Han; Yekdes, Ali Cem; Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Serin, Pelin Sari; Caglayan, Mirac; Ekuklu, GalipApproximately seven million premature deaths occurred due to several health problems caused by air pollution. In this study, we aimed to calculate the mortality rates of lung cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) attributed to PM2.5 in Turkiye in 2019. The universe of the research consists of the entire Turkiye region. Air quality data was obtained from the official website of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change of the Republic of Turkiye. Lung cancer and COPD mortality data were collected from the official website of the Turkish Statistical Institute by a special request. Mortality rates attributed to PM2.5 were calculated with the WHO AIRQ+ program, and the monthly percent change (MPC) in air pollution level was computed by the JP regression method. The annual average values of PM2.5 and PM10 for 2019 in Turkiye were calculated to be 28.82 mu g m(-3) and 48.08 mu g m(-3), respectively. The mortality rate attributed to PM2.5 for lung cancer is 15% whereas the mortality rate attributed to PM2.5 for COPD is 22%. Except two Nomenclature d'Unites Territoriales Statistiques (NUTS) regions (TR1, TR7) all other regions have statistically significant one joinpoint. As a conclusion, the PM2.5 average values for 2019 in Turkiye are over the limits for both the national legislation and the World Health Organization (WHO). Taking precautions to control air pollution sources and determination of legitimate national PM2.5 limits should be prioritized. Thus, one out of every six deaths from lung cancer and one out of every five deaths from COPD can be prevented.Öğe Comparison of Reaction Time, Manual Dexterity, and Working Memory Levels of Adolescent Video Game Players and Non-Players(Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2022) Irmak, Aylin Yalcin; Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Aydin, Gulsun Ozdemir; Yigit, SihmehmetObjective: This study aims to examine differences between adolescent video game players and non-players in terms of their reaction time, manual dexterity, and working memory levels. Methods: The sample of the study, which has a comparative cross-sectional design type, consists of 432 adolescents at the grades between 9 and 12. Non-video game players, and video game players were subjected to simple visual and auditory reaction time tests, manual dexterity tests, matrix, and digit span working memory test. Results: Compared to non-video game players, video game players were found to have shorter visual and auditory reaction times. Also, several motor dexterity subtest skills of video game players were found to be lower, while working memory did not differ between the two groups. Conclusion: Our findings support the idea that playing video games seem to improve some aspects of cognitive and motor skills but reduce several other aspects.Öğe Development and Validation of the Gaming Disorder Scale-Family Form(Slack Inc, 2021) Irmak, Aylin Yalcin; Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Aydin, Gulsun Ozdemir; Metinoglu, MeryemThe aim of the current methodological study was to develop a psychometric measurement tool for determining internet gaming disorder (IGD) based on family members' responses. The sample comprised 173 adolescents and their families. For reliability, the scale was created using item-total correlation, internal consistency coefficient, and test-retest correlation methods. The validity of the scale was evaluated using content validity index (CVI), construct validity, explanatory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). CVI for the scale was 0.92, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.963, and item-total correlation ranged between 0.67 and 0.81. In the EFA, 61.7% of the total variance on the onedimensional scale was explained and item factor loads ranged between 0.71 and 0.84. CFA showed good fit of the model. Thus, the Gaming Disorder Scale-Family Form, which was proven to be a valid and reliable measurement tool, is recommended for use by health care providers and community partners in the evaluation of potential IGD in adolescents.Öğe Evaluation of the chronic disease management and depression levels of people over 65 years of age during the COVID-19 pandemic period(Wiley, 2021) Irmak, Aylin Y.; Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Ekuklu, GalipPurpose The present study aimed to determine the depression risk and the management of chronic diseases of individuals over 65 years old under the mandatory mass coronavirus disease 2019 quarantine. Design and Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted with 185 Turkish elders with chronic diseases. Findings The majority of the elderly reported that their medication, diet, and exercise programs were not affected, but the regular health controls were negatively affected. Of the participants, 51.9% of them carried the risk of depression. Implications for Nursing Practice Urgent action plans for elders need to be developed taking into account psychosocial needs for them to pass the pandemic process with minimal damage.Öğe Musculoskeletal disorders and the affecting factors among teachers: An example from Turkey(Ios Press, 2022) Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Irmak, Aylin Yalcin; Aydin, Gulsun Ozdemir; Metinoglu, MeryemBACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders are important health problems due to their high incidence as well as their effects on the society and individuals. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the musculoskeletal disorders experienced by teachers, and to evaluate their relationship with certain factors causing musculoskeletal disorders. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was carried out on 416 teachers working in a provincial center using the face-to-face interview method. RESULTS: Per this 64.9% of the teachers had musculoskeletal disorders, and the pain was mostly localized in the neck region with 55.5%. The work stress scores of the teachers were found to have a positive and significant correlation with musculoskeletal disorder scores and a negative significant correlation with the satisfaction with life scores (p= 0.001). In multiple regression analysis, the time spent sitting at a desk, time spent working in a standing position, time devoted to housework, shoe preference, work stress and life satisfaction were determined as effective predictors on musculoskeletal complaints. The model that was developed explained 22.5% of the variance (R-2 = 22.5; p= 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Due to the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among teachers, health-promoting actions are needed in order to raise the awareness of both administrators and teachers in improving working conditions as well as preventing musculoskeletal disorders.Öğe Qualitative determination of occupational risks among operating room nurses(Australian Nursing Federation, 2020) Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Sayilan, Aylin AydinObjective: The purpose of this study was to determine the occupational risks faced by operating room nurses, their working conditions and health problems, and the protective measures adopted. Background: Since operating rooms are high-risk environments, the nurses working in them are exposed to correspondingly greater health risks. Method: This qualitative descriptive study design involved 17 operating room nurses and was performed in a public hospital in Turkey. Data were collected by the author during face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured form constructed on the basis of the study aims. Theme establishment continued until new data emerged from the analysis of all interviews. Data were then subjected to qualitative content analysis. Results: Three main themes were determined in the study, worker safety, working conditions, and training. At interview, operating room nurses reported being exposed to several occupational risks, including radiation, sharp implements, long working hours, and working standing up. They also reported experiencing, or were anxious about encountering in the future, various health problems associated with these risks. They also identified activities associated with education and protective measures as inadequate. Discussion and conclusion: Several occupational risk factors in the operating room environment adversely affect the health of nurses working in the unit. We recommend that standards aimed at protecting against occupational risks be applied on a regular basis in order to preserve the personal health and safety of operating room staff. Implication for nursing and health policy: Nurses are responsible for the constant care of their patients under all conditions and environments but may face the risk of compromise of their own health as a result. Training, certification, and nursing policies aimed at protecting the health of employees in clinical settings should be implemented. What is already known about the topic? Operating room nurses are known to experience severe health problems arising from their working environment. Many nurses have to cope or live with these health problems. What this paper adds: The study reveals the need for operating room nursing education programs. It also stresses the importance of legislation and monitoring to ensure a safe working environment for nurses in Turkey.Öğe School Health Care Applications of Classroom Teacher's in Central Elementary Schools of Tekirdag(Istanbul Univ, Fac Nursing, 2008) Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Yorulmaz, FarukObjective: This survey is conducted to decide on the level of knowledge and the applications of the elementary school teachers within the context of school health.

However, smartphones are associated with negative effects when used excessively. It has been reported that smartphone use may adversely affect learning in the classroom, cause safety issues, and negatively affect interpersonal communications. Purpose The aims of this study were to determine the level of smartphone addiction among nursing and medical school students and to examine the effect of smartphone addiction level on communication skills. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted with medical school and nursing students at a public university (502 participants). Data were collected using a personal information form, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), and the Communication Skills Assessment Scale. Results All of the participants in the study owned smartphones. Most (70.9%) were female, and 58.2% were in the nursing program. The participants used smartphones for a mean time of 5.07 +/- 3.32 hours a day, primarily for messaging. The mean total SAS-SV score for the participants was 31.89 +/- 9.90, and a significant difference in SAS-SV mean scores was found with regard to the variables of department, gender, daily smartphone use duration, academic success, status regarding smartphone use in the classroom, participation in sports, easy communication with patients and relatives, preferred mode of communication, health problems tied to phone use, and injury status (p < .05). In addition, a positive weak-to-moderate relationship was found between SAS-SV mean scores and the variables of daily smartphone use duration and years of smartphone use, whereas a negative weak relationship was found between SAS-SV mean scores and Communication Skills Assessment Scale scores. Daily smartphone use duration was found to be the most important predictor of smartphone addiction. Conclusions/Implications for Practice Higher SAS-SV scores have a negative impact on interpersonal communication and social life and reduce learning efficacy in students. Therefore, students and lecturers should be better informed regarding the benefits and risks of smartphone use in education, with precautions provided against excessive and needless use.Öğe Stress level and sleep quality of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic(Ios Press, 2021) Bilgic, Sebnem; Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Misirli, CemBACKGROUND: COVID-19 infection is transmitted easily and quickly, and nurses constitute the riskiest group of healthcare workers. Therefore, they may experience high levels of stress and sleep problems. OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted in order to evaluate the stress levels and sleep quality of nurses working during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 316 nurses working in a pandemic hospital in a city center. A descriptive form, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to collect data. RESULTS: A positive, moderately significant correlation was found between the average PSQI score of nurses and the average perceived stress score (p <= 0.001). Multiple regressions determined that shift work, stress level, a coworker having COVID-19, being out of home due to the risk of transmission, and having a person older than 65 in the home were effective predictors of sleep quality (R-2 = 33.5, p <= 0.001). Age, years worked, fear of infecting the family with COVID-19, receiving COVID-19 education, regular nutrition, and sleep quality were effective predictors of stress level (R-2 = 32.2, p <= 0.001). CONCLUSION: It was determined that nurses have low sleep quality and high stress levels during the pandemic process.Öğe Working conditions and anxiety levels of employees who have to work during the COVID-19 pandemic(Ios Press, 2021) Celikkalp, Ulfiye; Irmak, Aylin Yalicin; Ekuklu, GalipBACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the anxiety levels of employees by determining the working conditions and protective practices in the workplace of individuals who had to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was carried out with 801 employees from different sectors who continued to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS: The mean age of the employees was 33.1 +/- 10.3 years, and 63.4% were male while 46.1% were workers. The GAD-7 anxiety level mean score of the participants was determined as 6.6 +/- 5.1. Per this, 25.2% of the participants showed a high tendency to anxiety and 38.5% showed a moderate tendency. A statistically significant difference was found between anxiety level and gender, sector and profession. Besides, there was a statistically significant difference between the perception of workplace risk, the way of transportation to the workplace, the social distance in the workplace, measures taken for COVID-19 in the workplace, and anxiety levels (p < 0.05). In the multiple regression analysis, age, gender, work sector, COVID-19 anxiety levels, infection status, knowledge level and life satisfaction levels were determined as effective predictors on common anxiety disorder and explained 23.2% of the developed model variance (R-2 = 0.232, p <= 0.001). CONCLUSION: During the pandemic, it was determined that the anxiety susceptibility levels of the employees were very high and their protective practices against COVID-19 in the workplace were insufficient.
