Çocuk Acil Servise Başvuran Ebeveynlerin Hemşirelik Bakımına İlişkin Memnuniyet Düzeyleri
(2025) Ozyurt, Mehmet; Bütün, Ahmet
Amaç: Çocuk acil servislerde ebeveynler arasındaki memnuniyet düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi, sağlık hizmeti sunucularının ebeveynlerin ihtiyaç ve beklentilerini karşılayıp karşılamadığını belirlemede önemlidir. Ebeveynlerin çocuk acil servislerde hemşirelik bakımından memnuniyetini etkileyen faktörleri anlamak, sağlık hizmeti sunumunun kalitesini artırmak için çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ebeveynlerin çocuk acil servislerde hemşirelik bakımından memnuniyet düzeylerini belirlemek ve ebeveynlerin memnuniyeti ile ilişkili spesifik hemşirelik etkinliklerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Katılımcılar, Türkiye'de Mardin ilinde Mardin Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi çocuk acil servisi ziyaret eden ebeveynlerdi. Çalışma 619 ebeveyn ile tamamlanmıştır. Katılımcıların çalışmaya dahil edilmesinde kolaylık örneklemesi kullanılmıştır. Veriler 20/05/2024 – 18/08/2024 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Veri toplama araçları arasında \"sosyo- demografik ve çocuk acil servis başvuru soruları anketi\" ve \"Newcastle Hemşirelikten Memnuniyet Ölçeği\" yer almaktadır. Bulgular: Sonuçlar, okuryazar olmayanların memnuniyet puanlarının ortaokul, lise ve lisans mezunlarına göre daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir (p<0,05). Sonuçlar, çocuğun çocuk acil serviste aldığı bakımdan memnuniyet, çocuğa tedavi ve bakım için ayrılan zaman, çocuk acil servise güven, çocuk acil servisinde memnuniyet düzeyi, çocuk acil servisindeki hemşirelerin davranışlarına ilişkin görüşler ve gelecekte bu çocuk acil serviste ve hemşirelerinden sağlık hizmeti almayı tercih etme açısından memnuniyet puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir (p<0,05). Newcastle Hemşirelikten Memnuniyet Ölçeği'nden en yüksek puanlar hasta mahremiyetine saygı, hemşirelerin yardımseverliği ve hemşirelerin işlerindeki yeterlilikleri maddelerine verilmiştir. Newcastle Hemşirelikten Memnuniyet Ölçeği'nden elde edilen en düşük puanlar hastalara durumları ve hastalıkları hakkında bilgi veren hemşirelere, hastaların kendilerini evlerinde hissetmelerini sağlayan hemşirelere ve hastanın iyi olup olmadığını kontrol eden hemşirelere verilmiştir. Sonuç: Ebeveynlerin çocuk acil serviste hemşirelik bakımından memnuniyet düzeyleri düşüktü. Bu çalışma, ebeveyn memnuniyetinin artırılması için hemşirelik uygulamalarının niteliğinin artırılmasını önermektedir.
Relationships Among Mediterranean Diet Adherence, Sustainable Food Literacy, and Depression in Healthcare Professionals
(BMC, 2025) Ornek, Nesrin O.; Akcali, Caglar; Ozyurt, Mehmet
Background The Mediterranean diet has been linked to beneficial physical and mental health outcomes, whereas sustainable food literacy supports environmentally responsible and health-conscious eating behaviors. Healthcare professionals, owing to their societal role, are a critical group for promoting these practices. Objectives This study aimed to examine the relationships among Mediterranean diet adherence, sustainable food literacy, and depression levels among healthcare workers and to explore their associations with demographic and lifestyle factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 251 healthcare workers. Data were collected via the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS), the Sustainable Food Literacy Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Statistical analyses included correlation and regression models. Results Compared with men, women scored higher on the sustainable food literacy subdimension. Nonsmokers demonstrated greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet, whereas individuals with chronic diseases had higher depression scores. Individuals with chronic diseases reported higher depression levels. The lowest adherence rates within the MEDAS items were observed for wine, fish and seafood, and fruit consumption, whereas the highest adherence was found for using tomato-garlic-onion sauces and preferring white over red meat. The participants with minimal depression reported significantly higher MEDAS and food literacy (knowledge subscale) scores than did those with severe depression. MEDAS scores were positively correlated with sustainable food literacy and negatively correlated with body mass index. Regression analysis indicated that depression negatively predicted both the MEDAS score and the sustainable food literacy score. Conclusions The findings emphasize the interconnectedness of adherence to the Mediterranean diet lozenge, sustainable food literacy, and mental health among healthcare professionals. Integrating nutrition education and promoting the Mediterranean diet may enhance psychological well-being while fostering sustainable eating behaviours. Future research should expand to diverse professional groups and evaluate the impact of targeted interventions.
Violence and Its Effects on the Job Satisfaction of Healthcare Staff in Paediatric Emergency Departments
(BMC, 2025) Butun, Ahmet; Ozyurt, Mehmet
Background Workplace violence in healthcare settings poses significant challenges to staff safety and the quality of patient care, particularly in Paediatric Emergency Departments (PEDs), where its impact extends to psychological strain and diminished care standards. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of workplace violence experienced by PED staff, and to examine its association with their job satisfaction. Methods This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Participants were PED physicians and nurses. Data collection tools were "socio-demographic and work-related questions form", "Workplace Violence Scale" and "Minnesota Job Satisfaction Short Scale". The population of the study consisted of a total of 476 PED healthcare staff who had at least 1 year working experience in two tertiary hospitals and one public hospital located in the southeast Anatolia region of Turkey. A total of 434 healthcare staff participated in this study. Data were collected face-to-face using a survey method between January 3, 2024 and May 12, 2024. The data were analysed using the statistical program SPSS 26. Results In this study, the prevalence of violence exposure was 84.33%. Major perpetrators were patients' relatives (n = 394, 53.2%), main cause of violence was waiting time (n = 302, 17.3%), and violence often occurred in the waiting room (n = 263, 24%). The most frequently reported types of verbal and physical violence were shouting (n = 395, 38.9%), and scratching-pinching (n = 268, 34.5%), respectively. The most violence occurred between 17:00-24:00 (n = 224, 51.6%). Reactions to violence included decrease in motivation-performance (n = 375, 56.7%), thinking of quitting the job (n = 127, 19.7%), and experiencing psychological problems (n = 91, 13.7%). Workplace Violence (WPV) Scale score was 14.25 +/- 4.66 and Minnesota Job Satisfaction score was 2.83 +/- 0.87. A statistically significant but weak negative correlation was found between workplace violence and job satisfaction (r:-0.125, p = 0.009). Conclusion Exposure to violence was frequent among PED staff. The level of job satisfaction among PED staff was low. This study suggests that taking measures to prevent violence in healthcare settings may contribute to fostering a safer work environment and potentially increasing job satisfaction.
