Domestic violence and affectıng factors among married women aged between 15-49 Years
(Medicine Science, 2020) Çifçi, Sema; Açık, Yasemin; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü
Domestic violence against women is an important public health problem commonly encountered in all societies, manifesting itself as a negative outcome of gender inequality. This study has been carried out in Mardin province to determine the prevalence of exposure to domestic violence among women aged between 15-49 years and the affecting factors. The population of the study consisted of the women aged between 15-49 years living in Mardin and 1111 people were selected for sampling. Through repeated visits, 1064 people were included in the study (the responsiveness rate was 95.8%). x² (chi-square) test was used in the statistical analysis. The average age of women was 32.5 ± 8.2. 29.4% of them were illiterate. 47.5% of them were married by prearrangement. 25.9% of them were subjected to physical violence by their father and 37.6% by their mother in the past. The women were exposed to physical (44.5%), verbal/emotional (56.4%), economic (37.7%), and sexual violence (14.8%) at least once in their lifetime. 13.2% of them are still exposed to domestic physical violence, 15.8% to verbal/emotional violence, and 7.3% to sexual violence. As the educational levels, socioeconomic status, and monthly income of women and their husbands decrease, the rate of exposure to violence increases (p <0.05). The factors such as being married by bride exchange and bride price, having a familial history of honor killing, living with a co-wife, experiencing childhood violence, having an alcoholic and gambling husband increase the rate of exposure of women to violence (p <0.05). Domestic violence against women was found to be significantly high in Mardin province. Considering the socio-economic and cultural conditions of the region, legal and social regulations should be enforced in cooperation with non-governmental organizations, public institutions as well as local and national press.

Objective: The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coro- navirus-2 virus is transmitted from person to person through contact, droplets, and airborne particles. The vaccine is effective in controlling the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Pregnant women due to changes in their bodies are vulnerable to infectious diseases, some of which can be prevented by vaccination. This study, it was aimed to examine the hesitancy of the COVID-19 vaccine in pregnant women and the factors affecting it. Material and Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of all pregnant women aged 15-49 years who applied to Mardin Training and Research Hospital. The con- venience sampling method was used in the study, and all pregnant women (n=211) who applied to the hospital between October 10, 2022- December 23, 2022, met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study constituted the sample of the study. The data was collected using the “questionnaire form” and the “Vaccine Hesitancy Scale.” Cronbach alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.790. and the total mean score was found to be 61.24±11.63 it was determined that the pregnant women had a “moderate” level of hesitancy to vaccination. Results: It has been concluded that the husband’s education status, the gestation week, the number of pregnancies, the presence of chronic pa- tients in the household, and the history of abortion were effective on the vaccine hesitancy in the pregnant woman.Conclusion: Pregnant women should be informed more about vaccination and encouraged to be vac- cinated. More studies on the subject are needed.

(BMC Health, 2021) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Çifçi, Sema; Çifçi, Sema; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü
Background: Low levels of health literacy are associated with increased hospitalization rates, problems regarding the proper intake of medications, poor general health and increased mortality rates. It is a well-known fact that health literacy differs among ethnic groups and ethnic minorities, in particular, are known to have a low level of health literacy. The present study aimed to reveal the levels of health literacy among different ethnic groups and the affecting factors as well as the relationship between health literacy and health perceptions. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with different ethnic groups (Kurdish, Arab, Turkish and Assyrian origin), between 18 and 65 years old in the province of Mardin in Turkey. The study was conducted with a total of 600 people. The European Health Literacy Scale-Turkish Adaptation (EHLS-TR) and Health Perception Scale (HPS) were used for measurement. Descriptive analysis, Mann Whitney U Test, Kruskal Wallis Test and Spearman correlation were used in the data analysis. Results: It was found that 80.7% of the participants had relatively low levels of health literacy. The lowest levels of health literacy were among those of Kurdish origin. There were correlations between sufficient levels of health literacy and several factors including being of Assyrian origin, being 50–65 years old, living in a nuclear family, being a secondary school graduate, having a high financial status, being retired, evaluating one’s own health status as good, obtaining health information from healthcare professionals, preferring to visit a state hospital to seek medical assistance first, smoking and drinking alcohol. A positive correlation was also identified between the levels of health literacy and health perception. Conclusions: It is essential to develop programs to increase health literacy for the public and, in particular, for the ethnic groups that are disadvantaged in many aspects in the context of health literacy.

(Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2020) Deger, Vasfiye Bayram; Çifçi, Sema; Ertem, Meliksah; Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik Bölümü
Background: The World Health Organization recommends that babies be breastfed within the first hour of delivery and that they should exclusively be given breast milk in the first 6 months. The aim of this study was to ascertain the breastfeeding behaviors of refugee Syrian women and to compare their practices with those of the native mothers of the local community. Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in a Southern city in Turkey. The questionnaire was filled by face-to-face interviews. A total of 381 refugee Syrian mothers were compared with 381 native women living in the same community. Results: A significant difference was found between the two groups regarding breastfeeding. The rate of those who initiated breastfeeding within 1 hour after delivery was 61.4% for the Syrians and 71.1% for the Turkish mothers. In addition, the rates of exclusive breastfeeding (28.1 versus 34.1) and continuing breastfeeding for 12 months (55.0 versus 63.8) were lower in the Syrian refugee mothers. Maternal age and educational level were not correlated to the breastfeeding rates. Conclusions: This study is a rare study in which refugee mothers and local mothers were compared. Forced migration and refugee status are negatively associated with breastfeeding behavior.

ÖZET AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı Mardin kent merkezinde yaşayan 15 yaş üzerindeki kadınlarda sigara içiciliği sıklığı ve etkileyen faktörleri saptamaktır. YÖNTEM: Araştırma kesitseldir. Araştırma evrenini Mardin kent merkezindeki dört sağlık ocağı ve bir AÇS dispanseri bölgesinde yaşayan 15 yaş üstü 21 890 kadın oluşturmuştur. En az örnek hacmi Epi Info 2000 programında beklenen sıklık %22,1, kabul edilebilir %25 alınarak 759 bulunmuştur. Nisan –Mayıs 2005 tarihlerinde, Mardin Sağlık Yüksekokulu öğrencileri tarafından, her sağlık kurumundan rasgele seçilen 12 sokaktaki ilk 25 kadın alınarak toplam 1500 kadın ile yüz yüze görüşülmüştür. Eksik veri nedeniyle 29 anket değerlendirilmeye alınmamıştır. Sigara içme durumu hiç içmeyenler, içip bırakanlar ve halen içenler olarak sorgulanmıştır. Çapraz tablolarda halen sigara içtiğini söyleyenler sigara içenler olarak alınmış ve diğerleriyle (hiç içmeyenler ve bırakanlar) ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Veriler bilgisayar ortamında değerlendirilmiş, istatistiksel olarak yüzde, ki kare testi kullanılmıştır. BULGULAR: Kadınların %22,9’unun sigara içicisi, %3,9’ununn sigarayı bırakmış olduğu saptanmıştır. Sigara içiciliği en yüksek 25–34 yaş grubunda (%31,8) en düşük 55 yaş ve üzeri grupta (%10,0) bulunmuştur (p<0,01). Sigara içme sıklığı en yüksek “yüksek okul mezunu” grupta (%34,3) en düşük “okuryazar olmayan” grupta (%16,0) çıkmıştır (p<0,01). Sigara içiciliği eşinden ayrılmış kadınlarda %30,4 iken, evlilerde %24,4 ve bekârlarda %22,4 bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sigara içiciliği çalışan kadınlarda (%40,2) çalışmayan yada ev hanımı olan kadınlardan (%21,7) daha yüksek çıkmıştır (p<0,001). SONUÇ: Mardin’de kadınlarda sigara içme prevalansı yüksektir ve önemli bir halk sağlığı surunudur. Genç yaştaki, eğitim düzeyi daha yüksek, eşinden ayrılmış ve çalışan kadınlar risk gruplarıdır. Bu gruplarda yönelik ayrıntılı çalışmalar yapılmalıdır ve sigara kontrolünde öncelikli gruplar olarak ele alınmalıdırlar
