Method: The sample of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of employees of a textile factory located in eastern Turkey (n = 166). The data were collected using the forms Personal Information and determining Knowledge, Awareness, and Willingness regarding Organ Donation and Transplantation. Data collection forms were prepared by researchers based on the literature and taking expert opinion. In the analysis of the study data, number-percentage, chi-square test and Cramér's phi correlation analysis were used. Results: The mean age of the participants was 21.10 ± 2.53, and the numbers of men and women were equal. It was determined that 63.3% of the participants needed education related to organ donation, and 57.8% were willing to donate their organs. There is a correlation the high levels of knowledge, awareness, and willingness regarding organ donation and transplantation with the participant's levels of thinking about donating their organs. Conclusion: Our results supported the view that high levels of knowledge and awareness increased willingness about organ donation. In increasing the number of organ donors, high levels of knowledge and awareness are highly important, all parts of society should be provided with education on this issue, and it should be considered that workers of all sectors, especially textile workers, constitute a significant proportion of most societies in terms of numbers.

Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 612 students studying in the departments of nursing and medical technology at a university in eastern Turkey. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test were carried out. Results: The participants were between the ages of 18 and 24. Most of the participants in both department groups were women. More than 90% of the participants in both groups were using social media. It was determined that they used WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter most, and they took selfies for sharing these selfies with their friends on social media. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between the selfitis behaviors of the participants and their self-esteem levels. Conclusion: The nursing and medical technology students who participated in this study had moderate levels of selfitis behaviors and self-esteem, and there was a negative relationship between these two variables. To facilitate the socializing of students in real life, we recommend that their family and close circle support be increased. We recommend raising awareness on print and visual media regarding problematic social media usage behaviors.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a total of 283 students at the Faculty of Letters of Munzur University in Türkiye between February and June 2021. The data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory and the Dating Violence Questionnaire, and analyzed using Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation analysis and Bonferroni test. A statistically significant moderately positive relationship was found between the students' attitudes of ambivalent sexism and dating violence. The students had a high level of ambivalent sexism and a low level of dating violence. In the study, it was determined that men (74.93±22.41) exhibit higher ambivalent sexism attitudes than women (60.14±22.02), and the mean dating violence rate of men (1.56±0.38) is higher than that of women (1.30±0.29). As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the hostile and protective sexist attitude, which is the sub-dimensions of ambivalent sexism, is higher in male students than in female students. Finally, it was found that those with high protective sexism attitudes have more dating violence attitudes than those with high hostile sexism attitudes. The findings reveal that the ambivalent sexist attitude supports dating violence.

Various cultural studies comprise a background for student education evaluation in both clinical and primary care learning environments. Aim: The aim of this methodological cross-sectional study was to test the validity and reliability of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher (CLES+T) evaluation scale for primary care practices in public health nursing education. Methodology: This study had a methodological design, where study reporting was supported by the STROBE checklist. To make sure that there would be around five times as many participants as the number of items, the sample consisted of 135 junior students plus 17 senior students taking part in a public health nursing internship program. In total, 152 students participated in the study. Helsinki Declaration ethical principles were considered throughout the process. For the data analyses quantitative parametric measures were applied. The data analysis involved Kendall's W, Cronbach's alpha, and confirmatory factor analysis. The scale was subject to expert judgment, and it was piloted with a group of nursing students. Results: The content validity analysis of expert judgement was statistically significant. Cronbach's alpha coefficients varied between 0.48 and 0.94 for five sub-dimensions of factor loading, according to confirmatory factor analysis. The overall scale had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86. The five-factor construct of the Turkish version of the CLES+T evaluation scale was confirmed and demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. Conclusions: The scale can now be used by managers and teachers for evaluating the quality of education in primary care practices. It gives an opportunity to Turkish student nurses and teachers to evaluate their practice.

Yaşam süresinin uzamasına bağlı olarak yaşlılıkla birlikte birçok kronik hastalık görülmeye başlamıştır. Bu hastalıkların en önemlilerinden biri olan demans ve Alzheimer hastalığı geri dönüşsüz ve ilerleyicidir. Demans ve Alzheimer hastalığının etkin bir tedavisi bulunmamaktadır. Fakat koruyucu, semptomatik ve modifiye edici tedavisi bulunmaktadır. Demans ile obezite arasındaki ilişkiye baktığımızda kesin bir ilişki olmamakla birlikte fazla kilolu veya obez olmak demans riskini artırmaktadır. Ayrıca; diyabetli bireylerde demansa yakalanma riski 1.5 ile 2.5 kat daha fazladır. Orta yaşlı hipertansiyonlu hastalarda demansa yakalanma riski daha yüksektir. Özellikle; vasküler demansın, hipertansif hastalarda varlığı daha yaygındır.
Life expectancy at birth has also increased due to the protection and promotion of health, developments in technology, health and medicine. Due to the prolongation of life expectancy, many chronic diseases have begun to appear with old age. Dementia and Alzheimer's disease, one of the most important of these diseases, are irreversible and progressive. There is no effective treatment for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. However, there are preventive, symptomatic and modifying treatments. When we look at the relationship between dementia and obesity, although there is no definite relationship, being overweight or obese increases the risk of dementia. Moreover; Individuals with diabetes are 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to develop dementia. Middle-aged patients with hypertension have a higher risk of developing dementia. Especially; The presence of vascular dementia is more common in hypertensive patients.

PSS was 44.56±12.15, and the mean score of BMS was 43.51±13.90. A weak and negative
correlation between WDESDE and PSS (r=−.194, p=0.023). A moderate and positive
correlation (r=0.569, p=0.000) was found between PSS and BMS. In addition, burnout
explains 32.4% of the change in perceived stress (R2=0.324).
Conclusion: It was found that the views of nursing students towards distance education
were moderately positive, and their perceived stress and burnout levels were high. It is
recommended that institutions should eliminate the external barriers that may create
stress during distance education, such as deficiencies and inadequacies in the distance
education process, problems in the student-instructor interaction, physical infrastructure
problems, and inability to receive technical support.

the effect of gender attitudes of nursing students on their attitudes towards dating and domestic violence.
Material and Methods: This study used a descriptive and cross-sectional design. The sample consisted
of a total 638 nursing students. Data were collected with Questionnaire Form, Gender Role Attitude Scale,
Dating Violence Attitudes Scale and Domestic Violence Attitude Scale. Mann Whitney U, Kruskall Wallis,
spearmen correlation analysis, corrected Bonferroni was used.
Results: The domestic and dating violence of the students were affected by the knowledge of gender,
region of residence, gender, maternal education and presence of violence between the parents. Students
attitudes of gender roles was found to be high, whereas dating violence attitudes were found at a medium
level.

Methods: Pre-test and post-test design was used for group comparisons. The participants were 51 fourth-grade students. The data
were collected with a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Children’s Dietary Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSS), and the Diet Behavior
Scale (DBS). Descriptive, chi-square test, paired sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test and a Multivariate Analysis of
Variance (MANOVA) test were administered for data analysis.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the groups with regard to pre-test diet scores (p>0.05). After education, diet self-efficacy and diet behavior scores significantly improved in the adult-led group (p<0.05). No significant difference
was observed between the groups with regard to post-test diet scores (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Use of an integrated educational approach that contains both adult-led and peer-led education can be more effective
in the improvement of student’s dietary scores.

Abstract
The safety climate is a situation that affects safe behaviors and safety
attitudes in the workplace. This research was carried out to examine the
safety perceptions of field workers working in different units of the
Municipality and the factors affecting it. The sample of the descriptive
study consisted of 123 municipal field workers in a province. The data of
the research were collected between 1 July 2020 and 15 June 2021 by
face-to-face interview technique using the “Descriptive Information
Form” and “Safety Climate Scale”. Student t -test, One Way ANOVA
analysis were used to evaluate the data. Bonferroni analysis was
performed from post-hoc tests. The mean of the safety climate scale is
1.93±0.68 and it is moderate. While there is a statistically significant
difference between the education level and working style of the workers
(p<0.05), there is no statistically significant difference between age,
monthly income, working year, marital status, occupational health and
safety training, and the unit of work and safety climate (p<0.05). >0.05).
Businesses; To increase workers' safety climate perception, in-service
training and periodic information on occupational health and safety
should be provided.
