Objective: This study investigates the impact of communication problems between patients and healthcare professionals on distrust in the healthcare system, as inpatients perceive. Methods: The research was conducted as a cross‐sectional study, and criterion sampling was used to select participants. The study sample comprised individuals aged 18‐65 who had received treatment and care services in the inpatient units of a Training and Research Hospital in Türkiye at least once in the past year. Data were collected using the “Individual Identification Information Form,” the “Health Communication Problems Scale,” and the “Healthcare System Distrust Scale.” Results: Patients' perceptions of health communication problems were measured at an average level of X¯=2.59±0.71, while their perceptions of distrust towards the healthcare system averaged X¯=2.75±0.74. Additionally, health communication problems accounted for 19% of the variance in explaining distrust in the healthcare system (R=0.43; R2=0.19). Conclusion: The findings indicate that inpatients experienced relatively low communication problems with healthcare professionals and held moderate levels of distrust towards the healthcare system. The research concluded that health communication problems positively impact distrust in the healthcare system. © 2025, Ataturk Universitesi. All rights reserved.

Intensive Care Nurses' Knowledge and Practices Regarding Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries: a Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024) Keskin, Hüseyin; Kızıltepe, S.K.; Keskin, H.; Sönmez, M.; Aşatır, İ.; 04.02. Department of Management / İşletme Bölümü; 04.

This study aims to determine the levels of knowledge and practices of intensive care nurses regarding medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs). This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between September 2023 and February 2024, involving 143 nurses working in intensive care units across three hospitals in Türkiye. The data were collected using the demographic form and the Medical Device-related Pressure Injuries Knowledge and Practice Assessment Tool (MDPI-ASSET). Of the nurses, 74.1% have encountered MDRPIs in their unit, 63.6% feel that their knowledge about MDRPIs is insufficient and 90.2% express a desire to receive training about MDRPIs. The participants' total mean MDPI-ASSET score was 11.12 (out of 21). The nurses achieved the highest mean score on the Aetiology/risk factors sub-scale and the lowest mean score on the Staging sub-scale. The analysis revealed significant differences in the mean MDPI-ASSET total scores among nurses based on the status of previous encounters with MDRPIs (t = 2.342; p = 0.021) and their feelings of responsibility for the development of MDRPIs (t = −2.746; p = 0.007). In this study, the knowledge and practices of intensive care nurses regarding medical device-induced pressure injuries were found to be inadequate. Given the frequent occurrence of MDRPIs in intensive care units, it is necessary to support nurses with continuous organizational-level training to improve the quality of care for critically ill patients. © 2024 The Author(s).

Liver disorders
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2023) Keskin, Hüseyin; Ozdemir, O.; Keskin, H.; Tureyen, A.; 04.02. Department of Management / İşletme Bölümü; 04. Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences / İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Liver disease, including conditions such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, can result from damage or inflammation of liver cells and may be manifested by symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, ascites, and jaundice. The development of cirrhosis can lead to life-threatening complications. The treatment approach for liver disease depends on the underlying cause and includes a combination of lifestyle changes and medications, with nurses playing an active role in the management process. © 2023 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
