A Sociological Study on High School Students Belief in Deism (Başakşehir Example)

Yüksek Lisans Teziİnsanlık tarihinin tüm dönemlerinde, dinsiz bireyler olsa da dinsiz hiçbir toplum var olmamıştır. Bir başka deyişle insan topluluğunun olduğu her yerde din de varlığını sürdürmüştür. Çünkü insanoğlu evreni, doğayı, insanı anlama ve anlamlandırma çabasında insanüstü bir gücün varlığına her zaman ihtiyaç duymuştur. Yaşadığı felaketler ve acıların getirdiği beklentileri, umut ve istekleri yöneltebileceği bir Tanrının varlığı ve bu Tanrı ya da tanrılara güvenebileceği duygusu, kişinin psikolojik olarak rahatlamasını sağlamıştır. Tabi her dönemde din anlayışları farklılık ve çeşitlilik göstermiştir. Deizm de bu farklı bakış açılarından biridir. Araştırmamızın temel amacı ergenlerin deizm inancına karşı tutum ve davranışlarının anlaşılması ve nedenlerinin belirlenerek, sosyo-kültürel çerçevede etkilerini anlamaktır. Çalışma, son dönemlerde deizmin arttığına dair olan görüşlerin ergenlerdeki karşılığı olup olmadığına odaklanmıştır. Giriş bölümünde araştırmanın konusu, amacı, önemi, kapsam ve sınırlılıkları, literatür taraması hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Birinci bölümde kavramsal çerçeve olarak din ve din tanımları, deizm tanımları, deizmin tarihsel seyri ve Türkiye’de deizmin seyri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Sonrasında ise ergenlik tanımı ve ergenlikteki bireysel gelişimler hakkında bilgi verilerek, ergenlerin din algısına değinilmiştir. İkinci bölümde araştırmanın yöntemi hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde ise araştırma bulgularına yer verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, ergenlerin deizm düşüncesine karşı bilişsel bir farkındalık içinde oldukları, nedenler ve sonuç boyutlarında ise herhangi bir farklılaşmanın olmadığı görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte ergenlerin (lise öğrencileri) deizmi, içinde bulundukları dönemin çalkantısı ve sorgulamalarından etkilenme, sekülerleşmenin de beraberinde getirdiği rahat ve özgür yaşama arzusu ve sosyal medyanın da etkisiyle hızla deizmi tanıdıklarını, tanımanın yanında ilgi de duyduklarını da söyleyebiliriz. Gençler arasında deizmin yayılmasında bireysel farklılıkların, aile yapılarının, ahlak yapısının çok etkili olmadığı görülmüştür. Muhafazakâr bir aile ortamında yetişen bir çocuk da seküler bir aile ortamında yetişen çocuk da deizme aynı oranda ilgi duymaktadır.Regardless of what period we look at throughout history, there has never been any society without religion, even though there have been individuals without religion. So wherever there is a society there is also religion. This is because the human being has always needed the presence of a supernatural power in his effort to understand and interpret the universe, nature and human beings. We need the presence of a supreme being to whom we can direct the disasters, epidemics, expectations, hopes and desires we have experienced. And just trusting in or being in expectation from this supreme being or beings has provided a psychological relief for the person. Of course, in every period, the understanding of religion differed and varied. Deism is one of these different points of view. The main purpose of our study is to understand the attitudes and behaviors of adolescents towards the deism belief and to determine the reasons, as well as to understand the effects on the socio-cultural framework. It is a research on whether the views on the increase of deism in recent times are correct or not. In the introduction part of the study, information about the subject, purpose, importance, scope and limitations, and a literature review is given. In the first part information is given about religion as a conceptual framework and the definitions of religion, the definitions of deism, the historical course of deism and the course of deism in Turkey are given. Afterwards the definition of adoloscence and information about the personal development in adoloscence is given, and the religious perception of adolescents is mentioned. In the second part, information about the method of the research is given. In the third part, research findings are given. The study has been completed with a conclusion and recommendations section. As a result, it was observed that adoloscents have a cognitive awareness against the deism belief, and there is no difference related in the cause and effect dimensions. On the other hand we must add that adolescents ( high school students ) are affected by the deism belief because of the unsteady and questioning period they are in and the desire to live comfortably and freely as they wish, which is accompanied by secularization, and together with the influence of social media they get to know the belief very quickly and start showing interest in the topic. It has been observed that individual differences, family structures and morality are not very effective in the spreading of deism among young people. The child of a conservative family might be interested in deism as well as the child of a secular family

The effect of nursing care provided to Turkish mothers of infants born with cleft lip and palate on maternal attachment and self-efficacy: A quasi-experimental study

Purpose: The present study evaluated the effect of the nursing care provided to the mothers of the infants born with a cleft lip and palate (CLP) until the time of cleft palate (CP) repair surgery, on maternal attachment and self-efficacy. Design and methods: The present study was designed as a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study included 32 mothers whose infants were born with CLP and had undergone CL repair surgery. Nursing care was provided to the mothers and the infants included in the study group through a total of seven home visits over a period of nine weeks. The data for the study were collected using a socio-demographic form, a home-care needs evaluation form, the Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI), and the Parental Self-Efficacy Scale (PSE). Results: The scores for the mothers in the intervention group increased as the visits progressed, and it was observed that by the end of the ninth week, the difference between the mothers in the intervention group and those in the control group in terms of post-test MAI and PSE had become statistically significant. Conclusions: Providing nine weeks of home-based nursing care to the mothers and the infants has the potential of reducing the problems experienced by the mothers of infants born with CLP. Practice implications. Obtaining a better understanding of the barriers to the nursing care provided to the mothers of the infants born with CLP in-home setting would contribute immensely to the development of appropriate nursing-care practices. © 2020 Elsevier Inc

The relationship of perceived social support, personality traits and self-esteem of the pregnant women with the fear of childbirth

This research was conducted to examine the relationship of perceived social support, personality traits, and self-esteem of pregnant women with fear of childbirth. The study was performed between April 15, 2016 and May 15, 2016 using face-to-face interviews with 128 pregnant women who were at 28–40 weeks of pregnancy. A negative correlation between the fear of childbirth and the levels of social support perceived by pregnant women and a positive correlation between the fear of childbirth and self-esteem were observed. Furthermore, a negative correlation between the fear of childbirth and extraversion, self-discipline, and openness to development and a positive correlation between the fear of childbirth and neurotic personality traits were noted. Hence, we propose that social support status, personality traits, and self-esteem of pregnant women should be viewed as risk factors for the fear of childbirth

Effect of nickel, lanthanum, and yttrium addition to magnesium molybdate catalyst on the catalytic activity for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane

The catalytic performances of pure magnesium molybdate (MgMoO4) and MeMgMoOx (Me = Ni, La, or Y) for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane were investigated. Catalysts were characterized by nitrogen physisorption, XRD, FT-Raman, and temperature-programmed reduction measurements. Catalytic reactions were carried out at two different temperatures, 450 and 560 degreesC, under atmospheric pressure. The effects of the C3H8/O-2 molar ratio in the feed and bed residence time on propylene selectivity and on propane conversion were also investigated. Although the strong effect of Ni loading both on reducibility and on the catalytic activity of MgMoO4 catalyst was observed, Y and La modification did not show any significant effect as opposed to Ni. A 19.3% propylene yield was achieved over 5 mol % Ni-containing MgMoO4 catalyst at 560 degreesC

Female university students' knowledge and practice of breast self-examination in Turkey

WOS: 000460891100020PubMed: 30837432Background: Breast cancer keeps its importance as an important health problem in developing countries like Turkey. Therefore, breast cancer screening and early diagnosis are more important for these countries. Although there are debates about breast self- examination, it is still involved in breast cancer screening programs in many countries. Aim: This study aimed to determine university students' knowledge and practice of Breast Self-Examination (BSE). Materials and Methods: The study universe consisted of all the female students studying at a public university. Sample size of 161 was calculated for a predicted event frequency. The research data were collected using a questionnaire. Results: A total of 73.3% of the subjects students had heard about BSE. Only half of these students had obtained additional information about BSE. While half of the students indicated that they did perform BSE, 33.3% reported doing so at regular intervals. The majority of the students were aware of BSE and its purpose. Only about half stated, however, that they practice it. Those who practiced BSE were not knowledgeable about how and when to perform it. Conclusions: In developing countries, to have adequate knowledge of BSE of young women and to do BSE, it is important to develop a consciousness of breast health and an awareness of breast cancer at this age
