Article Domestic violence and affectıng factors among married women aged between 15-49 Years(Medicine Science, 2020) Çifçi, Sema; Açık, YaseminDomestic 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.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Knowledge of Tuberculosis Among Health Higher School Students'(DERMAN MEDICAL PUBL, 2015) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Inanc, Betul Battaloglu; Cifci, SemaAim: Aimed to determine students' tuberculosis (tbc) knowledge level and effectiveness of education.

After training, the way of diagnosis to patient was remained basically same, right answers rate decreased 1.5% which organs influence with tbc, 0.5% increased right answer rate for risk of spread tbc but remained lowest among the other right answers. Tbc disease agent is a bacteria, smudge with airway is agreed by the students' (p= 0.0001). Whose risk of developing tbc and how was treat patients was learned increasingly by students after training (p= 0.0001). Before training, awareness of the spread of tbc to lung, lymph node and brain membrane was known and was found significantly (p= 0.0001). After training, vaccination of infants (p< 0.001), and most common symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis (p= 0.0001) is shown statistically significant. After training was thought to diagnosed tbc with skin test was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Training was not change student's knowledge and approach this two points; whose control was necessary with tbc close contact persons' (p= 0.065) and what was the directly observed treatment (p= 0.058).

Yöntem: 20-65 aralığında 1055 kişi olarak hesaplanan araştırmada 990 kişiye ulaşılmış ve bu kişilere 2 bölümden oluşan anket, yüz yüze uygulanmıştır. Birinci bölümde; sosyo-demografik özellikler ikinci bölümde ise “Toplumsal Cinsiyet Algısı Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Ölçekten alınan puan 25-125 aralığında olup, yüksek puanlar toplumsal cinsiyet algısının olumlu olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Bulgular: Bireylerin yaş ortalaması 33.27 ± 10.70 olup %67.2’si kadındır; %15.4’ü okuryazar değildir. Bireylerin %56.7’si görücü usulü ve %1.6’sı berdel yoluyla evlenmiştir. Akrabası ile evlenen bireylerin oranı %36.3’tür. Araştırma kapsamına alınan bireylerin ölçekten aldıkları puan ortalaması 79.34 ± 15.32’dir. Kişinin çalışma durumu, kadın olma, bekârlık, genç yaşta olma, doğum yerinin kent olması, ekonomik durumunun iyi olması, bireylerin ve ailelerininin eğitim seviyesinin yüksek olması gibi faktörler toplumsal cinsiyet algısını olumlu yönde etkilerken çocuk sahibi olma, eşlerin akraba olması, kırsal bölgede yaşıyor olma vb. faktörler olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Sonuç: Toplumsal cinsiyet algı düzeyi puan ortalaması yapılan benzer çalışmalara göre düşüktür. Bireylerin algı düzeylerini çeşitli sosyo demografik faktörler etkilemektedir. Bölgenin sosyoekonomik ve kültürel şartları da göz önüne alınarak; kamu, sivil toplum ve basın yayın kuruluşları ile iş birliği içerisinde toplumsal cinsiyet algısını geliştirmeye yönelik çalışmalar yürütülmelidir.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 36Health literacy, health perception and related factors among different ethnic groups: a cross-sectional study in southeastern Turkey(BMC Health, 2021) Yiğitalp, Gülhan; Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Çifçi, SemaBackground: 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.Article Hastanelerde Görevli Sağlık Çalışanlarının Bireysel İş Yükü Algıları(Sağlık ve Hemşirelik Yönetim Dergisi, 2018) Çiftçioğlu, Gülcan; Tunç, Gülistan; Güneş, Aynur; Değer, Vasfiye; Çifçi, SemaGİRİŞ: İş yükü bireysel açıdan işi yapmak için geçen zamanı ve enerjiyi, örgüt açısından verimliliği göstermektedir.

To determine, the determinants of UMNFP binary logistic regression was used.Results The result of this study showed that prevalence of UMNFP was 35%. Woman's low educational level (OR:5.42, CI95%:2.43-8.94), history of un intended pregnancy(OR:1.43, CI95%:1.1-1.94) and induced abortion (OR:1.76, CI95%: 1.41-2.21), not having husband's regular job(OR: 2.24, CI95%:1.92-3.78) and lack of woman`s autonomy in decision related to use of contraception methods(OR:3.21, CI95%: 1.78-6.12) were determinants of UMNFP.Conclusion The prevalence of UMNFP among Syrian immigrants living in Mardin was considerable. Understanding the challenges and the barriers impacting use of contraception including cultural norms as well, as social and language obstacles are essential to decrease UMNFP.Article Kadına Yönelik Aile İçi Şiddet ve Nedenleri(2022) Çifçi, Sema; Açık, YaseminGiriş: Kadına yönelik aile içi şiddet, tüm toplumlarda sık görülen ve cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin ilişkilere yansıması şeklinde ortaya çıkan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur.
