Examining the Mediating Role of the Fear of COVID-19 in the Relationship Between Anxiety and Burnout Levels Among Teachers in Turkey

The COVID-19 pandemic stands as one of the most significant challenges confronting education and training systems worldwide. Since the early stages of the pandemic, teachers have experienced elevated levels of stress accompanied by symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances, particularly due to the demands of distance learning. Although there are studies on this subject, more evidence is needed to explore the role of the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkish teachers’ anxiety and burnout. Consequently, the present study aimed to examine the mediating role of the fear of COVID-19 in the relationship between the anxiety experienced by teachers and the level of burnout in studies conducted on teachers during the pandemic process. A total of 262 (57.8% female) teachers from Turkey completed a questionnaire comprising psychometric instruments of the aforementioned variables. The path analysis indicated that fear of COVID-19 mediated the association between anxiety and personal success sub-dimension of burnout, but not emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The findings of the present study indicate that anxious feelings may exacerbate burnout among teachers in Turkey and that the fear of COVID-19 may play a role on that aforementioned relationship. Consequently, health professionals and clinicians that aim to develop intervention and treatment strategies for Turkish teachers’ anxiety and burnout levels should take the fear of COVID-19 into consideration.

Veriler 396 konuktan anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimleyici istatistik tekniklerinin yanı sıra, karşılaştırma testleri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi sonucunda katılımcıların daha çok hizmet atmosferi kaynaklı şikayetlerde bulundukları, sesli tepkileri diğer şikayet davranışlarına oranla daha fazla sergiledikleri, şikayet konularının şikayet davranışları üzerinde genel olarak etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca şikayet konularının şikayet davranışlarının alt boyutlarını oluşturan sesli tepkiler, kişisel tepkiler ve üçüncü taraf tepkiler üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda katılımcıların şikayet konuları ve şikayet davranışlarına ilişkin görüşlerinin cinsiyetlerine, mesleklerine ve eğitim düzeylerine göre benzerlik gösterdiği, diğer yandan ise medeni durumları ve yaş gruplarına göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği saptanmıştır The aim of this study is to determine the effects of complaints on customer complaint behaviors (CCB) concurrently with evaluating the restaurant complaints of guests who are staying in thermal hotels that operating in Afyonkarahisar province. Required data gathered from 396 thermal hotel guests by using questionnaire method. In data analyzing, descriptive statistic techniques and discriminant analyses was used. As a result of the data analysis, it's determined that guests mostly complain about restaurant service atmosphere, and much more voice responses taken comparing to other customer complaint behaviors, also customer complaints have some important effects on CCB and CCB's sub dimensions named as voice responses, private responses, third-party responses. At last, it's found that participants' views about complaints and complaint behaviors are statistically similar in terms of sex, occupation and education level, on the other hand their views are statistically different (meaningful) in terms of marital status and age groups

Some Non-Destructive Testing Methods: A Comparative Complitation Work

Stereotactic body radioablation therapy as an immediate and early term antiarrhythmic palliative therapeutic choice in patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia

Background: Stereotactic body radioablation therapy (SBRT) has recently been introduced with the ability to provide ablative energy noninvasively to arrhythmogenic substrate while reducing damage to normal cardiac tissue nearby and minimizing patients’ procedural risk. There is still debate regarding whether SBRT has a predominant effect in the early or late period after the procedure. We sought to assess the time course of SBRT’s efficacy as well as the value of using a blanking period following a SBRT session. Methods: Eight patients (mean age 58 ± 14 years) underwent eight SBRT sessions for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). SBRT was given using a linear accelerator device with a total dose of 25 Gy to the targeted area. Results: During a median follow-up of 8 months, all patients demonstrated VT recurrences; however, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and anti-tachycardia pacing therapies were significantly reduced with SBRT (8.46 to 0.83/per month, p = 0.047; 18.50 to 3.29/per month, p = 0.036, respectively). While analyzing the temporal SBRT outcomes, the 2 weeks to 3 months period demonstrated the most favorable outcomes. After 6 months, one patient was ICD therapy-free and the remaining patients demonstrated VT episodes. Conclusions: Our findings showed that the SBRT was associated with a marked reduction in the burden of VT and ICD interventions especially during first 3 months. Although SBRT does not seem to succeed complete termination of VT in long-term period, our findings support the strategy that SBRT can be utilized for immediate antiarrhythmic palliation in critically ill patients with otherwise untreatable refractory VT and electrical storm
