We investigated death anxiety among parents of children with disabilities and its associations with coping attitudes and psycho-demographic factors. Surveys were administered to 382 parents of children who possess a severe disability and data were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that parents experienced high levels of death anxiety; the level of death anxiety changed according to some psycho-demographic factors, such as external support, type of disability, and death-related beliefs; and death anxiety was significantly explained by demographic variables, death-related thoughts, and experiences, and adaptive and maladaptive coping attitudes.

(Bmc, 2024) Bayram Deger, Vasfiye; Yigitalp, Gulhan; 09.01. Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Background Hesitancy rates for childhood vaccines are increasing on a global scale. It was reported in previous studies that many factors affect vaccine hesitancy. The present study was designed to determine the prevalence of childhood vaccination hesitancy in parents and to determine the factors affecting it. Methods This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 350 parents who had at least one child aged two years and younger, who applied to Family Health Centers in the city of Mardin in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, between January and March 2022. The "Parental Attitudes Towards Childhood Vaccines (PATCV) Questionnaire" was used to collect the data, which were analyzed by using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 22.0 program. The Logistic Regression Analysis was used to determine the factors affecting parental attitudes toward childhood vaccines. Results A total of 32.0% of the parents were found to be hesitant about vaccinations and 3.4% did not have at least one vaccination for their children. Significant relationships were detected between income status, education status, thoughts about vaccinations, parents having adult vaccinations, hesitant to have self-vaccination, considering vaccine necessary, and parental attitudes towards childhood vaccinations (p < 0.05). According to the Regression Analysis, parents who had adult vaccinations had reduced hesitation about childhood vaccines 0.506 times (p = 0.032; OR = 0.506; 95%CI = 0.271-0.943). Considering the vaccine necessary reduced the hesitation about childhood vaccines by 0.440 times (p = 0.011; OR = 0.440; 95%CI = 0.234-0.828). Conclusions The hesitations of parents about childhood vaccines were found to be high. The reasons for vaccine hesitancy must be examined in detail and strategies must be developed in this regard.

(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ozcivit Erkan, Ipek Betul; Gulcicek, Atilim; Sayili, Ugurcan; Bayram Deger, Vasfiye; Erel, C. Tamer; Senturk, Levent M.; 09.01. Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü; 08.02. Department of Architecture / Mimarlık Bölümü; 08. Faculty of Engineering and Architecture / Mühendislik Mimarlık Fakültesi; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of menopausal symptoms among perimenopausal women in a rural area of southeastern Turkey and their association with sleep quality, depression and sociodemographic and lifestyle-related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 122 perimenopausal women aged 40-55 years residing in southeastern rural Turkey. Participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), alongside demographic data collection. Results: The median age was 46 years (43-49 years). Higher MRS scores were significantly linked to a sedentary lifestyle, poor self-rated health and concerns about partner infidelity. MRS total scores were moderately correlated with global PSQI scores (r = 0.49, p < 0.001) and strongly correlated with BDI scores (r = 0.71, p < 0.001). Severe menopausal symptoms were significantly associated with poor sleep quality (odds ratio [OR] = 2.62; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.16-5.95), mild to severe depression (OR = 4.78; 95% CI: 2.08-10.98) and poor self-rated general health (OR = 2.76; 95% CI: 1.03-7.41), even after adjusting for age, parity and body mass index. Conclusions: Perimenopausal women in southeastern rural Turkey experience severe menopausal symptoms that are significantly associated with self-rated general health, sleep quality and depression.

Background: Many studies have found that the academic success of school-age children is proved to be in close relation with regular and healthy nutrition. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between breakfast quality and academic success of refugee primaryschool children. Methods: After scanning 24 schools in the city center, 384 students who were refugee Syrians from primary schools in Mardin city center were included. In addition to the demographic characteristics of the individuals, breakfast habits of these students were investigated. Results: In this study, 91.6% of the children stated that they have breakfast habits. The reasons for skipping breakfast among students of all levels can be listed as being late for school (67.8%) and not liking to have breakfast (18.8%). The breakfast quality index (BQI) score was low in both boys and girls and all age groups. According to this marked value, all age groups had poor nutrition in terms of breakfast. Although girls showed a significant difference in all age groups (P = 0.046), this difference was not significant among boys (P = 0.671). The number of students with a breakfast quality score higher than 8 was very low. It was observed that boys had the highest academic success with the lowest breakfast quality score. The breakfast quality score of girls with the best academic success ranged between 4 - 7 points. Conclusions: It was observed that academic success was linked to having breakfast habit, and students had breakfast habit performed relatively better in school compared to those who did not.

(BMC, 2025) Bayram Deger, Vasfiye; Cifci, Sema; Kacan, Havva
Background Workplace violence is a widespread, global public healthcare concern among healthcare employees. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between workplace violence and job stress among healthcare employees. Materials and methods The population of the study, which had a descriptive and correlational design, consisted of all healthcare employees working in a hospital in the southeast of Turkey, and the study was completed with 515 healthcare employees. The data were collected between 20.05.2024 and 15.09.2024 using a face-to-face interview technique with a data form consisting of 4 sections. The data collection form consists of 4 sections: socio-demographic characteristics, Psychological Violence Behaviors at Workplace Scale, A Work Stress Scale-20, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale. The data were then analyzed by using the SPSS software. Descriptive statistics and parametric methods, Pearson Correlation Analysis, and Linear Regression were used in the evaluation of the data, and hierarchical regression analyses regarding the mediation effect were made by using the PROCESS Model 4. A p-value < 0.05 was accepted as significant in the analyses. Results A total of 55.9% of the participants were female and 44.1% were male. When the occupational distribution was evaluated, the largest group was nurses with 55.3%, followed by midwives with 12.6% and physicians with 7.4%. The total mean score on the Scale of Psychological Violence Behaviors in the Workplace was 37.27 +/- 39.51, the total mean score on the Short Psychological psychological resilience Scale was 20.41 +/- 4.32, and the total mean score on the Job Stress Scale was 46.51 +/- 20.72. A negative and significant relationship was detected between the psychological psychological resilience scale total score and the total score of Psychological Violence Behaviors in the Workplace. A positive and highly significant relationship was detected between the total score of the Job Stress Scale and the total score of Psychological Violence Behaviors in the Workplace. A negative and significant relationship was detected between psychological resilience and job stress. The effect of psychological violence in the workplace on psychological resilience was significant. Conclusion This study suggests that workplace violence increases job stress by weakening psychological resilience. Psychological resilience plays a partial role in moderating this effect. Reducing the negative impacts of Job Stress and psychological violence on individuals and protecting and developing the psychological resilience of healthcare staff is a critical priority for the well-being of employees and for institutions to achieve their sustainable targets.
