Öğe Bullying and victimization among Turkish children and adolescents: examining prevalence and associated health symptoms(Springer, 2012) Arslan, Sevda; Hallett, Victoria; Akkaş, Eşref; Akkaş, Özlem AltınbaşOver the past decade, concerns about bullying and its effects on school health have grown. However, few studies in Turkey have examined the prevalence of bullying in childhood and adolescence and its association with health problems. The current study aimed to examine the prevalence and manifestation of bullying and victimization among male and female students aged 11-15 years. A second goal was to examine the physical and psychological symptoms associated with being a bully, victim and both a bully and a victim ('bully-victim'). Participants were 1,315 students from grades 5, 7, and 9, selected from three schools in Western Turkey. Twenty percent of the students were found to be involved in the cycle of bullying (5 % as a bully, 8 % as a victim, and 7 % as bully-victims). Bullies (although not victims) were found to show decreased levels of school satisfaction and school attendance. Being a victim or a bully-victim was associated with a significantly increased risk of experiencing a wide range of physical and psychological health symptoms (victims OR, 1.67-3.38; p < 0.01; bully-victims OR, 2.13-3.15; p < 0.01). Being a bully, in contrast, was associated with high levels of irritability (OR, 2.82; p < 0.01), but no other health concerns. Children that were bullies and victims were almost as vulnerable to health symptoms as children that were purely victims. Conclusion: These findings contribute to a better understanding of bullying in Turkish schools, emphasizing the negative effects of bullying involvement on health and well-being.Öğe Complementary Nutrition Methods in Newborn(2022) Düzeltici, Şükran; Arslan, SevdaIt is ideal for all newborns to feed their mothers’ milk. Due to weak oral-motor functions, being neurologically and physiologically immature, sucking-swallowing-breathing coordination, some newborns cannot immediately breastfeed and are hence unable to obtain oral nutrition. Therefore, it is necessary to initiate proper nutrition in those newborns who are not breastfeeding. In the graves of the Nile basin, items such as cups, cow horns and ceramic cups dating to 500 BC have been found, indicating the earliest search for alternative options for infant feeding. Today, this search continues, with parenteral and oral or nasogastric tubes; enteral feeding methods include feeding with a bottle, plate, spoon, finger, syringe, or dropper. It is preferred to total parenteral nutrition. For newborn nutrition, enteral and parenteral nutrition could also be applied together. However, even with the most appropriate method, feeding newborn infants could be very difficult. Hence, every newborn nurse should know the preterm and term newborn feeding methods and should have the ability to apply these methods properly. The purpose of this article is to update the nurses on newborn feeding methods.Öğe Cyberbullying Among Primary School Students in Turkey: Self-Reported Prevalence and Associations with Home and School Life(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2012) Arslan, Sevda; Savaşer, Sevim; Hallett, Victoria; Balcı, SerapThe current study examined the self-reported prevalence and nature of cyberbullying and victimization among second, third, and fourth grade students (N=372) and explored associated features of home and school life. Of the children in the current sample, 27 percent had been victims of cyberbullying, 18 percent had been aggressors, and 15 percent had been both cyberbullies and victims. Boys were significantly more likely to carry out cyberbullying than girls. Cyberbullying exposure (as both a bully and a victim) was significantly associated with low levels of self-reported school satisfaction (bullies odds ratio [OR]: 2.45; victims OR: 2.10; p < 0.05) and achievement (bullies OR: 3.85; victims OR: 3.47, p < 0.05). Paternal unemployment was also associated with a three-fold increase in the likelihood of being a cyberbully. Increased awareness and regulation is now required within schools and within the home to tackle this escalating problem.Öğe The effect of ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity on intercultural sensitivity in nursing students, descriptive cross-sectional research study(Churchill Livingstone, 2021) Kaya, Yunus; Arslan, Sevda; Erbas, Atiye; Yasar, Beril Nisa; Kucukkelepce, Gulhan ErkusBackground: Factors affecting intercultural sensitivity and care are becoming an increasingly important issue due to ethnic diversity. Nurses play a crucial role in care and therefore should keep up with this trend and improve their intercultural sensitivity. Objective and design: This descriptive cross-sectional study investigated the effects of ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity on intercultural sensitivity in nursing students. Methods and participants: Data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire and the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale, and Moral Sensitivity Scale. The sample consisted of 1343 nursing students. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine correlations between scale scores. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the effects of ethnocentrism, moral sensitivity, and demographic characteristics on intercultural sensitivity. Results: Intercultural sensitivity was found to be negatively correlated with ethnocentrism and positively correlated with moral sensitivity. Ethnocentrism predicted intercultural sensitivity more than moral sensitivity. Ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity explained 16.8% of the total variance of intercultural sensitivity. However, ethnocentrism affected intercultural sensitivity more than moral sensitivity did (beta = -0.406). Conclusion: Nursing education should adopt strategies to reduce ethnocentrism by helping students develop cultural competence and intercultural sensitivity. Such education can equip nurses to provide higher quality care to patients of different cultural backgrounds.Öğe Levels of vocational satisfaction, burnout and compassion fatigue of health professionals working in pediatric clinics(Baishideng Publishing Group Inc, 2022) Koyuncu, Oğuz; Arslan, SevdaBACKGROUND Burnout and compassion fatigue are affecting the quality of professional life. AIM To investigate the levels of vocational satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue and factors that may be related to health professionals working in children’s clinics. METHODS The study sample was in the west of Turkey. Data were collected using the questionnaire form and the quality of life scale for employees. RESULTS The findings obtained in this study showed that the level of vocational satisfaction of female health professionals and the burnout level of male health professionals were higher. The professional satisfaction of the doctors was lower than that of the nurses and midwives, and the mean score of burnout and fatigue was high. CONCLUSION Further studies are needed on this topic to help improve the factors that may affect the professional quality of life of health professionals. ©The Author(s) 2022.Öğe Prevalence of Peer Bullying in High School Students in Turkey and the Roles of Socio-Cultural and Demographic Factors in the Bullying Cycle(All India Inst Medical Sciences, 2011) Arslan, Sevda; Savaşer, Sevim; Yazgan, YankıThis research was conducted as a descriptive and relational study to determine the frequency of bullying among high school students and the relationships between some of their characteristics and their roles in the bullying cycle. The research data were obtained from 1670 students in the 9th and 10th grades of six high schools in Istanbul province. The data were analyzed with percentage distribution, Chi square, t test, correlation and Tukey test.The Determination of Peer Bullying Scale and a Personal Information Form were used for data collection in the research. According to the Determination of Peer Bullying Scale 17% of the students were in a bullying cycle (5.3% as bully, 5.9% as victim, and 5.8% as both bully and victim). The boys used more direct methods of bullying and girls more indirect methods of bullying. The rate of bullying behavior was also higher in boys and being a victim was higher in girls; the majority of the girls were bullied by girls and the majority of the boys were bullied by boys. More of those involved in bullying incidents had unexcused absenteeism from school and stated that they did not like school. The results obtained from this research show that the prevalence of bullying in high schools in Turkey is similar to the results in other countries. Determination of the causative factors that support and maintain bullying behavior for implementation of prevention programs is required.Öğe Psycometric Characteristics of the Turkish Version of the Caregiver Vaccination Attitudes Scale(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Sobcali, Sefa; Arslan, SevdaObjective: This study aims to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Caregiver Vaccination Attitudes Scale. Method: This methodologically designed study consists of parents (n n = 220) of 12-35 months old children applying to the Department of Child Health and Diseases in one Research and Application Center for any reason between July 2020 and June 2021. The data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form and Caregiver Vaccination Attitudes Scale and the analysis was made by transferring them to IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Statistics 23 and IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences AMOS 23 programs. Frequency distribution for categorical variables, descriptive statistics for numerical variables, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis for scale validity, Cronbach's alpha value for reliability, and intraclass correlation coefficient analysis for test-retest reliability were used. Results: In the construct validity of the scale, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was found to be .951 and the Barlett's test showing its suitability for factor analysis was significant (p < .001). The scale consisted of 13 items and a single factor. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .941, and the total explained variance was 62.822%. The fit index values for the confirmatory factor analysis model of the scale were determined as chi(2)/df = 2.368, goodness of fit index =.908, normed fit index =.941, comparative fit index =.965, root mean square error of approximation =.079, and standardized root mean square residual =.035, and they were well-matched. Conclusion: The Caregiver Vaccination Attitudes Scale is a valid and reliable scale adapted to Turkish society, and it is sufficient and satisfactory in terms of distribution, measurement skill, internal consistency, and model fit.Öğe Psycometric Characteristics of the Turkish Version of the Caregiver Vaccination Attitudes Scale(2022) Sobcalı, Sefa; Arslan, SevdaObjective: This study aims to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Caregiver Vaccination Attitudes Scale.

This study tests a model which was used to judge the satisfaction of college life and evaluates the overall impact of quality of college life (social, academic, and service satisfaction), life satisfaction, and identification. Secondly, the study assesses the impact of a university's academic program, social life, facilities, and services on the students' college life quality in this sample in relation to similar studies from Turkey and other countries. The survey included 1,260 students attending a public university in northwestern Turkey. Measurement tools included the quality of college life scale (QCL), Satisfaction with college life scale, identification scale satisfaction with life scale and personal information form. The results show social satisfaction has the strongest positive impact on QCL. This study found that life satisfaction and university identification had a positive impact on a university student's satisfaction with college life. According to survey results it is also suggested that University administrators can primarily focus on improving the social satisfaction of the students then improve facilities and services, in order to raise academic satisfaction levels.Öğe Research Units on Pediatric Psychopharmacology and Psychosocial Interventions (RUPP) Autism Network Tarafından Otizmi Olan Çocukların Ailelerine Yönelik Olarak Geliştirilen Aile Eğitimi Programı(2014) Arslan, Sevda; Yazgan, Yankı; Güler, Ayşegül SelcenResearch Units on Pediatric Psychopharmacology and Psychosocial Interventions (RUPP) Autism Network grubu tarafından geliştirilen aile eğitimi programı, ABA (Uygulamalı Davranış Analizi) temel alınarak hazırlanmış ve otizmi olan çocukların ailelerinin eğitilerek çocukların problemli davranışlarının önlenmesi veya azaltılmasının yanında olumlu davranışların kazandırılmasını amaçlamaktadır. RUPP grubu yaptıkları randomize kontrollü klinik çalışmalarda aile eğitiminin, çocukların işlevselliklerinde ve aile ilişkilerinde klinik olarak anlamlı gelişmeler sağladığını, risperidon ve aile eğitiminin birlikte uygulandığı çocukların yıkıcı ve saldırgan davranışlarında, sadece risperidon alan çocuklara göre istatiksel olarak anlamlı derecede azalma ve uyum becerilerinde artma görüldüğünü belirlemişlerdir. Türkiyede yaygın gelişimsel bozukluğu olan çocukların ailelerine yönelik benzer bir program bulunmamaktadir. Bu yazıda, RUPP Autism Network tarafından geliştirilen aile eğitimi programının tanıtılması amaçlanmıştır. (Gün cel Pe di at ri 2014;2:95-102)
