Türkiye’de erkek hemşire imgesi

Aim: This study has been conducted to determine men nurse image of the society. Methods: The study that was conducted in cross-sectional design was realized on 1482 persons. Questionnaire that is prepared by researchers were filled by discussing with cases face-to-face. Average, percentage methods were used in evaluation of data.Results: Age year average of cases within the scope of the research is 31.74 (SD=10.37, Minimum=18, Maximum=65) type and 56% woman and 43.5% is graduated from high school. 71.4% cases stated that they knew that men were able to work as nurse in Turkey; 62.6% stated that nursing was a profession to be performed both by women and men; 18.2% stated that only women had to take place in nursing profession; 71.7% stated that success of nurses in practice was more important than gender; 52.5% stated that men nurses would not lead any change in the profession; 31.4% stated that men nurses would not contribute in development of social status of nursing; 45.6% stated that men nurses had to work in every field in hospital environment, 39.7% stated that they had to work in fields such as intensive care, operating theatre and emergency department. 16.6% cases stated that they would be ashamed of care by men nurse, 15.9% cases stated that they would hesitate and 15.4% cases stated that they would be surprised.

For this purpose, the society should be informed that profession and gender are not factors that affect quality of nursing care.Amaç: Bu çalışma, toplumun erkek hemşire imgesini belirlemek amacı ile yapıldı. Yöntem: Kesitsel türde yapılan bu çalışma, 1482 kişi üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan soru formu, bireyler ile yüz yüze görüşülerek dolduruldu. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde ortalama, yüzdelik yöntemleri kullanıldı.Bulgular: Bireylerin yaş yılı ortalamasının 31.74 (SS=10.37, Minimum=18, Maksimum=65), %56’sının kadın, %43.5’inin lise mezunu olduğu saptandı. Bireylerin %71.4’ü Türkiye’de erkeklerin de hemşirelik yapabileceğini bildiğini; %62.6’sı hemşireliğin hem kadınların hem de erkeklerin yapabileceği bir meslek olduğunu; %18.2’si hemşirelik mesleğinde sadece kadınların olması gerektiğini; %71.7’si hemşirelerin uygulamalardaki başarısının cinsiyetten daha önemli olduğunu; %52.5’i erkek hemşirelerin, meslekte herhangi bir değişime yol açmayacağını; %31.4’ü erkek hemşirelerin, hemşireliğin toplumsal statüsünün gelişmesine katkı sağlamayacağını; %45.6’sı erkek hemşirelerin, hastane ortamında her alanda, %39.7’si yoğun bakım, ameliyathane ve acil gibi alanlarda çalışması gerektiğini ifade etti. Ayrıca araştırma kapsamına alınan bireylerin %16.6’sı erkek hemşirenin bakım vermesinden utanacağını, %15.9’u çekineceğini, %15.4’ü şaşıracağını söyledi. Sonuç ve Öneri: Türkiye’de erkek hemşire imgesi genelde olumlu yöndedir. Fakat tüm toplumun erkek hemşireye bakış açısının olumlu olması sağlanmalıdır. Bu amaçla, toplum, cinsiyetin hemşirelik bakımının kalitesini etkileyen bir faktör olmadığı konusunda bilgilendirilmelidir

Preliminary survey of nematodes associated with broadleaved trees in Izmit Forest Management Directorate, Turkey

A survey for Bursaphelenchus species was carried out in broadleaf forest sites of Izmit Forest Management Directorate. Nematodes were extracted from 128 wood samples, and 22 of them were cultured. Nematodes were identified using morphological characteristics and molecular analysis by amplifying D2-D3 LSU with primers. Only one Bursaphelenchus species, Bursaphelenchus mucronatus kolymensis, was isolated from Quercus petraea representing the first report from broadleaved tree species in Turkey. Paraphelenchus acontioides and Aphelenchoides heidelbergi were identified and presented herein as the first reports of these two species from Turkey. In addition, five Aphelenchoides species were also found and reported as Aphelenchoides sp.Duzce Universitesi [2016.02.02.447]Duzce Universitesi, Grant/Award Number: 2016.02.02.447WOS:0005819409000012-s2.0-8509291651

The Determination of Harmful Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera Species in Forest Nurseries in the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye

Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to determine the harmful Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera species in some forest nurseries between 2021 and 2022. Area of study: The study areas were selected from forest nurseries located in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkiye. Material and methods: Visual inspections were performed on plants, then larvae and gall samples were collected by hand and photographed on host plants. Gall wasps were reared with the galls and examined by scanning electron microscopy. Collected caterpillars and sawfly larvae samples were placed with the host plant in an insect rearing cage for adult emergence under constant conditions. The oak gall wasp was also identified by molecular methods. Main results: In this study, four species of Hymenoptera and six species of Lepidoptera were determined. These are Dryocosmus kuriphilus, Diprion pini, Craesus septentrionalis, Hyphantria cunea, Euproctis chrysorrhoea, Calliteara pudibunda, Dioryctria simplicella, Phalera bucephala and Acronicta rumicis. The oak gall wasp was identified as Cynips quercusfolii with 97.87% identity. Research highlights: Amog these species, C. septentrionalis was new record for the insect fauna of the Western Black Sea Region. In addition, C. pudibunda and P. bucephala were reported for the first time from Kastamonu province.Duzce UniversityThe authors declared that this study was supported by Duzce University

Origin and Distribution of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Mediterranean Mussels (Mytilus Galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819) of the Turkish Straits System

The distribution of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) in the coast of the Turkish Straits System (TSS) was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). According to the results, the most important contributors to PAH concentrations in mussels were chrysene, fluoranthene and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). Due to its carcinogenic character, BaP is known as one of the most significant congeners of PAHs and the highest concentration of BaP has been found to be 8 mu g g(-1) in Kadikoy station. The most polluted mussels were collected from the regions affected by shipping activities such as Kadikoy, Kumkapi and Tekirdag. In this study, origins of pollution were determined using the ratios of individual PAH compounds. The main pollution origin is found as both pyrolytic and petrogenic at most stations

T-PAH contamination in Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819) at various stations of the Turkish Straits System

Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Turkish Straits Systems were analyzed for sixteen parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contents by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This marine organism was selected because of its multitude, wide distribution, being bio indicator for the pollution and consumption by humans. Total PAH concentrations ranged from 1.2 to 589 mu g g(-1) in Istanbul Strait, 0.94-36.4 mu g g(-1) in Marmara Sea and 0.4-47.9 mu g g(-1), in Canakkale Strait during the samplings. According to the results Istanbul and canakkale Straits are more polluted than the Marmara Sea. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Prevalence of female sexual problems and effecting factors in Zonguldak province

WOS: 000310132800006Objective: Although the sexual problems are commonly observed in Turkey, the community studies about the prevalence of sexual problems are rare. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence and risk factors of female sexual dysfunction in Turkish women population in Zonguldak province. Methods: The study group consisted of 517 married women 15 to 49 years old living in Zonguldak province. The participants were administered to GRISS and sociodemographical questionnaires for the evaluation of Female Sexual Dysfunction. Findings: The mean age of participants was 36.5 +/- 7.87. According to GRISS, 45.5% of women had female sexual dysfunction. The most frequent sexual dysfunctions were vaginismus (67.3%) and sexual frequency problems (60.3%). Sexual non-sensuality problem (54.5%), sexual non-communication (54.7%), sexual avoidance (54.5%) and anorgasmia (23.8%) were among other prevalent problems. Conclusion: As a result of our study, the inadequate sexual knowledge of women, restriction of sexual talk at home and information exchange with friends being the most common method of sexual knowledge indicated that sexuality is still a taboo in our community. Also, nearly all women lacked pre-marriage sexual experience, which showed the continuing significance of virginity. (Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry 2012; 13:191-197
