Objective: Child abuse and neglect (CAAN) is a serious public health problem that causes serious injuries and even deaths in exposed children. The level of knowledge and awareness of physicians about CAAN is very important in diagnosis and prevention of injuries and deaths. The aim of this study was to measure the level of knowledge and awareness of physicians working in Family Health Centers in Sivas province center about child abuse and neglect. Methods: In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, the study population consisted of 105 general practitioner family physicians and family medicine specialists working in Sivas city center. A 17-question Descriptive Information Form questioning the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and the “Scale for the Identification of Symptoms and Risks of Child Abuse and Neglect” were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 statistical package program. Statistical significance was accepted as a p value below 0.05. Results: Women who participated in our study were found to be more knowledgeable in recognizing the characteristics of children prone to CAAN than men. Physicians aged 40 years and younger were found to be more successful in recognizing child and parent characteristics in CAAN compared to other age groups. Family medicine specialists were more successful in recognizing CAAN than general practitioners. Conclusion: Considering that every individual is the first source of application in the health care system implemented in our country, physicians working in family health centers are health care practitioners who are likely to encounter child abuse and neglect. Therefore, it should be ensured that the awareness and knowledge levels of physicians remain adequate and effective after medical education by increasing and encouraging effective in-house continuing medical education, including current innovations to be made periodically on the subject.

Objective: Violent incidents in healthcare institutions are situations that negatively affect all healthcare professionals, especially physicians. This research was planned to determine the frequency of physicians’ exposure to workplace violence, their reactions to violence, the causes of violence, and solutions to violence. Methods: In this regard, the study group of the research consists of a total of 290 volunteer physicians between the ages of 24-72 working in the city center of Sivas. In this study, data was collected using a survey consisting of 49 questions, including the sociodemographic characteristics of physicians, information about their working status, variables related to the violence that physicians were exposed to, and physicians’ thoughts about the causes, consequences, and solution suggestions of violence. Results: The rate of physicians who were exposed to violence at least once in the working environment was 57.9%. Female physicians, physicians who worked in internal branches, and physicians who had a career of over 16 years were more likely to be exposed to violence. 49.4% of physicians who were subjected to violence filed a complaint. Psychological/verbal violence was the most common (82.1%) among the types of violence. The perpetrators of violence were primarily patients and their relatives. Conclusion: In order to prevent violent incidents and their adverse effects, adequate security measures should be taken, legal regulations should be made to deter acts of violence, and the level of awareness of violent incidents should be increased. Healthcare workers should be given support and training on the effects of violence and coping with it, and the working conditions of physicians should be improved.

It is seen that the understanding of the social state and health in Turkey has gradually given way to neoliberal dynamics in parallel with the developments in the world in the last fifty years. The health field has been reorganized with the Health Transformation Program since 2002. In this study, it is aimed to examine the physician strikes and actions at the beginning of 2022. One of the qualitative research methods, Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used. It is seen that they started their physician actions with the withdrawal of the legal regulation that caused the personal rights to be discussed in public from the General Assembly of the Parliament. It is commonly stated by spokespersons that the strikes are discontents caused by working conditions and spiritual reasons rather than financial reasons. As a result, the weight of working conditions created by health policies and violence come to the fore in discourses. Security and violence account for 17.4% of all coding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This research aims to reveal the mental fatigue experiences of resident physicians while practicing their profession. Material and Method: The study was earned out with the phenomenology design, which is considered within the scope of qualitative research. Participants were reached using the homogeneous sampling technique, which is one of the purposive sampling techniques. In this context, in-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured forms with 10 resident physicians continuing their residency training in Turkey. The data obtained by transcribing the interviews were subjected to interpretive phenomenological analysis. The data obtained were coded and gathered under themes to make the phenomenon of mental fatigue meaningful. Results: In this study, which examines the mental fatigue experienced by assistant physicians while performing their profession as a whole, it has been determined that the causes of mental fatigue are related to working life, academic life, professional life, psychological, systemic and physiological reasons. At the same time, it has been determined that the mental fatigue experienced by assistant physicians causes some individual consequences such as stress, anxiety, focusing problems, and burnout, and some social consequences such as social adaptation problems, negative effects on the patient, and difficulty in the diagnosis process. Conclusion: This study, which reveals the causes and consequences of mental fatigue experienced by resident physicians, has concluded that this situation not only has individual consequences on the physician but also causes some social consequences such as difficulty in the diagnosis process, social adaptation problem and the negative effects of this situation on the patients. To minimize this effect, it is recommended to clarify the job description of resident physicians, reduce the patient burden by shortening long working hours, and make necessary legal and systemic regulations on the subject.

Changes in the provision of health services brought about new health policies globally in 1970. One of them, health communication, is a new application that is closely related to the development levels of countries and helps to protect social and individual health. The concept of health communication has often been studied from the point of view of patients in early communication research. However the concept basically covers all health workers, as well as patients and patient relatives. This research was built with a focus group study from qualitative research methods to determine the communication levels and communication patterns of physicians in order to cover the deficiency found in the field. at the end of the research conducted with 10 physicians, it was found that doctors communicate in the "physician-patient" category. In another finding of the study, it was understood that physicians use 6 different models other than the rhetorical model from the health communication models according to the socio-economic and psychological characteristics of the patient. At the end of the research, it was proposed to extend the examination periods, reduce the number of patients being cared for daily and develop health communication policies in order for physicians to establish a better-quality health communication with their patients.

Objective:Workplace violence is an important source of problem for employees worldwide. The present study aimed to identify the prevalence of exposure to violence among healthcare professionals, the type of violence they experienced and influencing occupational features, and to determine the healthcare professionals’ opinion about the causes of violence and the potential measures to be taken against violence in health.Methods:A 37-question survey was performed in 598 medical doctors and 357 healthcare assistants including nurses as well in Adana, Turkey. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 25.0 program was used for the statistical analysis of study data.Results:Of the 955 healthcare professionals participated in the study, 48.5% were male and 51.5% were female, and 85.9% have been subjected to violence at least once in their professional lifetime. The most common type of violence was psychological or verbal attack, which stated to be most frequently committed by the patient relatives and by male gender. Male healthcare workers were exposed to statistically significantly more physical violence. There was statistically significant correlation between the number of patients healthcare professionals dealt with in a day and the rate of exposure to violence. It was found that those who had been exposed to physical violence filed a complaint more than those who had been subjected to other forms of violence.Conclusion:High rates of violent behavior against healthcare workers are at worrying levels indicating that violence in health is a critical problem. Solution of this problem requires all parties’, primarily the health policy makers’ undertaking important tasks.

Physicians are the successors of Bakshis among Kazakhs and Kyrgyz and they have made themselves accepted by the society under the influence of the Islamic belief to continue their existence. They have also carried the remnants of shamanism to the present day with its more traditional aspect. Bakshis, who call themselves physicians today, ask for help from God with their assistant jinns when they start their rituals. While this creates an Islamic effect on the remains of shamanism, it is an indication that it leads to a change in the content of shamanic rituals. The study aims to reveal that Kazakhs and Kyrgyz people still have the remnants of shamanism in their lives, despite accepting the religion of Islam and to clarify the reason for this. In addition, it is to analyze the practice of medicine, which became popular in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan after independence and continues today, and the practices of doctors. This study aims to reveal the shamanic beliefs that still exist among Kazakhs and Kyrgyz. The conditions of the Kazakh and Kyrgyz people to become a physician, their ancestral origin, their relationship with the assistant jinns, the methods and means of examining the patient, the attitude of the society towards the physicians, the reasons for the patients' departure, and the satisfaction of the applicants are the focal points of this study. The study was produced on the example of Kazakh and Kyrgyz physicians and the people who apply to them. This study, in which the interview method was used, was conducted face-to-face with the aforementioned glances and speech, and to a lesser extent, by telephone. The most important duties of these doctors, who serve people who cannot solve their problems by medical means or who prefer tradition to medical sciences, are to cure the evil demons that haunt the patients, to guide people in solving their problems about the future. The treatment tools that medical practice use during the ritual vary according to the disease; they generally use whips, pine trees, medicinal plants grown in the steppe, forty stones, and knucklebones. The number of treatment sessions depends on the extent of the disease. Physicians who believe that medicine is inherited from their ancestors, as in the case of gaze, sincerely believe in their demons and their ability to communicate with them. After the capture, both doctors often see their assistant genies in their dreams and after they are taken down, they execute them on instructions and signs. During the treatment, they do not neglect to read Islamic prayers, they see themselves as devout Muslims. In addition, Kazakh and Kyrgyz people do not have the habit of consulting a psychologist yet, so these physicians also meet society's need for a psychological counselling. As a result, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz, who consider the concepts of good and evil as destiny, believe that they can change their destiny with the help of physicians, as they used to do with the bakshis. This is evidenced by the fact that Kazakh and Kyrgyz society applied to all parts of the society, regardless of whether they were educated or uneducated, young or old, male or female. For this reason, traditional practices such as medicine, which is a heirloom of care, continue and keep alive today without losing their functions in the modern era and places where technology has developed. There is no pressure from the states of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan towards today's doctors, but they do not receive support either. Ethics committee report was received for publication of the study.

Bu çalışma, hekimin sorumluluğunu gayret sarf etme borcu özelinde hastaya karşı gerekli özeni gösterme açısından ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Gayret sarf etme borcu kusurdan berî olmanın ve hukuka uygunluğun ana sebeplerinden birini teşkil etmektedir. Bu sayede kurulan bir akitle neticenin gerçekleşmesi değil, neticenin gerçekleşmesi adına hekimin gereken özeni göstermesi beklenmektedir. Bunun Türk pozitif hukuk sistemi ve İslâm hukuku açısından tezahürü aslen benzerlik gösterse de hekimin kusurlu eyleminin icrası hususunda bazı farklar gündeme gelmektedir. Bunlar kişinin ruhen ve bedenen iyi olmasına yönelik yapılan her türlü müdahale esnasında hekimin kasıt veya ihmale dayalı hareketinden meydana gelmektedir. Kişiye verilen bu ehemmiyet tıp ile hukuku etkileşimli hale getirmektedir. Bu nazarla bakıldığında hukuk, yaşayan toplumun hakikatini oluşturmaktadır ve hukukun gelişim serüveni yaşanan gelişmelere paralellik arz etmektedir. Bu, esasında hukukun dinamizmini de sağlayan şeydir. Nitekim hukuk kendi sistematiği içerisinde müspet gelişmeleri karşılamaya açıktır. Hukukun bu etkileşimli yapısının benzeri kökleri eskilere dayanan tıp ilminde de kendini göstermektedir. Hukuk sisteminin kendi içerisinde gelişim yaşaması gibi tıp da bir bilim dalı olarak kendi içerisinde gelişim ve ilerleme göstermiştir. Buna mukabil tıp bir bilim dalı olarak sistematik bir yapıya bürünmeden önce geleneksel ve ilkel tıbbi yöntemler halinde iken; günümüzde gelişen teknolojik imkânlarla birlikte çeşitliliğini artırarak farklı problemlere cevap verebilecek seviyeye ulaşmıştır. Örneğin tüp bebek, organ ve doku nakli, doğum kontrol yöntemleri, genetik kopyalama, ötanazi gibi yöntemler tıp alanında yaşanan gelişmelerden sadece birkaçıdır. Tıbbın geçirdiği bu dönüşüm sürecinde yaşanan gelişmeler ekseriyetle hukukun da konusu olmuştur. Hukuk ve tıp alanındaki bu etkileşimli yapı hukuk doktrininin sağlık sistemine verdiği ehemmiyetin bir göstergesidir. Her iki hukuk sistemi açısından bu etkileşimli durum yeni gelişmelerle birlikte yeni sorunlar ve yeni cevap arayışlarını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu arayışların birisini de hekimin mesuliyeti meselesi oluşturmaktadır. Tıbbi müdahalede bulunan hekimin hangi durumlarda sorumlu olacağı, sorumluluğun sınırını belirleyen kıstasın hangi esas üzerine bina edileceği meselesi gerek Türk pozitif hukuk sisteminde gerekse İslâm hukuku açısından ele alınmış; mesele her iki hukuk sisteminde güncel gelişmelere paralel olarak hukukî düzenlemelere konu edilmiştir. Bu noktada çalışmanın temel hedefi her iki hukuk sisteminde hekimin mesuliyeti açısından temel sorumluluk alanlarının tespit edilmesi ve buna mukabil meydana gelen zararın hangi durumlarda ortaya çıktığının belirlenmesi olmuştur. Nitekim zararın meydana gelmesinin önüne geçilmesi, genel hukuk sistematiği açısından ve insan ile toplum ilişkileri nazarında kuşkusuz sosyal düzenin bir gereğidir. Diğer yandan her iki hukuk sisteminin temel gayesinin nizâmu’l beşer olduğu düşünüldüğünde iki bilim dalı arasında gaye ortaklığının bulunduğu da kolaylıkla ifade edilebilir. Ancak gerek Türk pozitif hukuk sisteminin gerekse İslâm hukukunun kullandığı yöntemlerin ve her iki hukuk sisteminin oluşum evrelerinin farklı olması gayeyi temin noktasında da bazı farklılıkların olabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu farklılıklar hekimin mesuliyeti meselesinde de karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bununla birlikte hekimin mesuliyeti noktasında her iki hukuk sisteminin benimsediği ortak sorumluluk ilkelerinin olması sistematik açıdan tabiîdir. Çalışmamızın konusunu teşkil eden hekimin mesuliyetinin genel özen yükümlülüğü altında gayret sarf etme borcu minvalinde ele alınması da bu sorumluluk ilkelerinden birini teşkil etmektedir. Bu şekildeki yükümlülük hekimi akdî sorumluluk altına sokmakta ve bunun neticesi olarak hekimden hukuka uygunluk şartlarına riayet etmesi beklenmektedir. Çalışmamızda da bu durum her iki hukuk sistemiyle karşılaştırmalı olarak örneklerle ele alınacak; bu sayede konuya açıklık getirmeye çalışılacaktır.

Purpose: Smoking is one of the most common addictions. Smoking is also common among medical doctors. In this study, the characteristics of cigarette addiction among doctors in a province in Anatolia and suggestions to prevent this addiction are presented. Materials and Methods: 363 physicians were contacted for the study, and 121 physicians voluntarily participated in the study. The socio-demographic characteristics of the doctors participating in the study were recorded, their smoking status; branch, the unit they work in, professional experience and dependency levels. Results: 92 (76.0%) of the doctors participating in the study were male, 29 (24.0%) were female, and the mean age was 39.82±9.53 years. The relationship between the duties of doctors and smoking behavior is statistically significant (p=0.007). A significant portion of the resident doctors (62.5%) have never smoked. 68.4% of dentists and 52.4% of specialists smoke. The difference between the branches of specialist physicians and the groups in terms of smoking behavior and professional experience was not statistically significant (p=0.339, p=0.065, respectively). Conclusion: Smoking, one of the types of tobacco use, is a substance addiction. Smoking is common in physicians. It is seen that the first time doctors start smoking is most frequently during the medical school education period. Tobacco addiction should be emphasized in the first years of medical school education and training. In addition, routine follow-up and control will be a useful practice by registering the doctors in the smoking cessation polyclinics in the hospitals where they work.

Bomoi, which were used as statue bases, tombs or votive stones in the Roman Period, were produced in different sizes or forms. With the addition of various decorative elements, it has assumed a character in accordance with its function. The bomos of Agathopodos, which constitutes our study subject, is a rectangular burial bomos with inscriptions on the front face of which the belongings of the deceased are depicted. Today, the ancient city of Aizanoi is located in the Mosaic Bath. When the information we obtained about the deceased, his family and profession, based on the inscription, is considered together with the ornaments on the bomos, the social and economic position of Arkhiatros Agathopodos in the city of Aizanoi, where he lived at the end of the 2nd century AD, became clear. Accordingly, although it is unclear whether the sons who had the tombstone built continued the profession of medicine, it is also possible to obtain information about his wife’s social position from the figures on the bomos, which were also built for his wife Ammia. When the medical instruments, medicine box, probe and scissors on the bomos are examined, it is concluded that Arkhiatros Agathopodos applied drug treatment methods and was experienced in surgical procedures.

Aim: Breaking bad news (BBN), which is defined as the delivering new medical information that negatively affects the patient's life, is an important and difficult communication skill that physicians should improve skills. This study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about BBN of resident physicians in a university hospital. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a university hospital between 01.03.2022 and 01.04.2022. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of 35 questions. Behaviors related to BBN communication were evaluated on a 5-point Likert-type scale as never, rarely, sometimes, often, always. Results: The mean age of the 117 physicians participating in the study was 28.7±2.41 (min:24-max:38), 52.1% of them were male. 47.9% of the participants were married and 71.8% were working in internal medicine. It was found that 64.1% of the physicians had given bad news in the last 6 months. The BBN (78.8%) of physicians working in surgical departments was significantly higher than those working in internal departments (58.3%) (p=0.038). The rate of those who did not receive training on BBN was 85.5%, and the rate of those who wanted to receive training on BBN was 76.9%. The rate of those who heard about SPIKES and BREAKS protocols for BBN was 5.1%. Getting patient's consent before BBN, not giving clear information to the patient about the prognosis of his disease and conveying the bad news only to the relatives of the patient were found to be behaviors that were usually/always done in 31.6%, 26.5% and 23.1% respectively. Usually/always empathizing during BBN communication was found to be significantly higher in physicians working in internal medicine (70.2%) than physicians working in surgical departments (45.5%) (p=0.012). Conclusion: In conclusion, in our study, it was found that most of the physicians related to BBN did not receive training and were inadequate in some behaviors related to BBN communication. All physicians should be provided with training on BBN during their medical school education and after graduation, so that all physicians' communication skills should be improved and bad news should be conveyed appropriately.

INTRODUCTION: This study was conducted to evaluate the beliefs and attitudes of nurses/physicians, patients and patients' relatives towards stigma in psychiatry clinics. METHODS: The study was undertaken using comparative-descriptive study method. It was conducted between October-December 2017 at the psychiatry clinic of two state university training and research hospitals and at the mental health and diseases training and research hospital of a state university. The sample consists of 43 nurses/physicians, 76 patients and 37 patient relatives. The data were collected using Beliefs towards Mental Illness Scale (BMI), scale of The Community Attitudes towards the Mentally Ill (CAMI) and İnternalized Stigma of Mental İllness Scale (ISMI). The beliefs and attitudes scores of nurses/physicians, patients, and patient relatives were compared, the internalized stigmatization levels of patients with mental disorders were evaluated, and the stigma belief and attitude levels were examined for some variables. RESULTS: Participants in the study were 27.6% nurses/physicians, 48.7% patients and 23.7% patient relatives. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of the BMI subscales of dangerousness, poor social and interpersonal skills and incurability and shame, and the scale total score (p

Aim: To investigate the knowledge and awareness of physicians working in tertiary healthcare institutions concerning stroke and treatment approaches for ischemic stroke. Material and Method: Fifty-nine physicians with a mean age of 35.4 years were included in the study. A survey consisting of 12 questions taking less than 5 minutes to complete was delivered to the specialist and research assistant physicians who were actively employed in Adıyaman University Faculty of Medicine Training and Research Hospital and signed the voluntary informed consent form. Results: Of the physicians participating in the study, 66.1% (n=39) were working as specialists and 33.9% (n=20) as research assistant physicians. More than half the physicians (57.6%, n=34) had not previously attended an informative meeting on stroke. The average rate of correct answers given to all survey questions was 37.8%. The research assistant physicians correctly answered the questions concerning the first intervention in a stroke patient, prevalence of stroke, and thrombolytic treatment agent at a higher rate than the specialist physicians. The physicians who had previously attended an informative meeting on stroke provided more correct answers to the questions on stroke preventability and thrombolytic treatment agent. Conclusion: Undoubtedly, since time is one of the most important factors affecting mortality and morbidity in case of an ischemic stroke, it is vital that both society and healthcare professionals become aware of this health condition. We believe that the awareness of all physicians concerning stroke and its treatment should be increased through effective training and informative meetings

Amaç: Araştırma ile tıpta uzmanlık alanlarının toplumsal cinsiyete göre farklılık arz edip etmediğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca, uzmanlık alanlarının, yan dal uzmanlık alanlarının, hekimlerin unvanı ve hastanenin mülkiyetinin cinsiyete göre farklılık arz edip etmediğinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikte tasarlanan araştırma ile Türkiye’deki 88 kamu ve vakıf üniversitesine bağlı tıp fakültesinde görev yapan 23.473 hekim belirli kriterlere göre incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Kadın hekimler Tıbbi Patoloji, Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıklar, Histoloji ve Embriyoloji, Çocuk ve Ergen Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları, Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon, Aile Hekimliği; erkek hekimler ise Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji, Üroloji, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi, Genel Cerrahi, Kalp Damar Cerrahisi, Plastik, Rekonstrüktif ve Estetik Cerrahi, Kardiyoloji, Kulak Burun Boğaz Hastalıkları, Göğüs Cerrahisi, Ağız, Yüz ve Çene Cerrahisi alanlarında yoğunlaşmışlardır. Branşlara göre kadın ve erkek hekimler arasındaki bu farklılaşma istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Dahili, cerrahi ve temel tıp bilimlerinin cinsiyete göre dağılımları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı iken, yan dal uzmanlık alanlarındaki bu farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir. Sonuç: Temel uzmanlık alanları arasında toplumsal cinsiyete göre farklılaşma görülmektedir. Cerrahi branşlara yönelik erkeksilik, dahili ve temel tıp branşlarına yönelik ise kadınsılık algısı vardır ve hekimlerin uzmanlık alanı tercihlerinin toplumun onlara yüklediği cinsiyetçi rollerden bağımsız olmadığı söylenebilir..

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate how medical students perceive and feel the increasing events of violence against physicians (VAP) in recent years. Method: This study was conducted with students and research assistants who attended a meeting about VAP at a Medical Faculty. A short sociodemographic information form prepared by the researchers, the Attitude Towards Violence Scale (ATVS) and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) were applied to the participants. Results: The mean age of 109 participants who were present at the meeting and completed the survey was 22.8±2.9 years (18-31), 33% were third class student and 29.4% were sixth class student. The frequency of witnessing VAP when they worked in the hospital or when they were the relatıves of the patıent was 74.3%. Very few participants stated that they were subjected to violence. While more than half of the research assistants, approximately half of the 6th grade students witnessed the VAP event, this ratio was lower in the first 3 grade students (p=0.001). Of the participants, 43% of the students who witnessed VAP stated that they felt anger towards the perpetrator and that they were afraid of the incident at the same rate, and 40% said they were worried about the incident. Those in the female sex were condemning fear and violence and those in the male sex were worried. Of the participants, 44% of respondents cited the cause of the violence as the lack of education of the public, while nearly half cited a lack of empathy towards doctors and patients. The mean score obtained from the ATVS was 18.63±6.0 points (10-35) and the mean score obtained from BHS was 8.10±2.9 points (3-17). The scores of ATVS and BHS scores were significantly higher in those who witnessed violence (p=0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study show that the medical students and research assistants who witness violence have increased their tendency to violence and made them desperate from the future. The importance of legal measures to prevent violence in health, effective communication methods education for the students and the feeling of safety in the environments they work in have been demonstrated once again for the future of public health and the medical profession.

Representing the modern physicians of the 19th century, Besim Ömer, although known as an obstetrician, was a specialist pediatrician, midwife trainer who taught the public about medical and sanitary conditions, a teacher who gave lessons to nurses and vaccinators. Besim Ömer, who first went to Europe during the reign of Abdülhamid II (1876-1909), then represented the Ottoman Empire many times here, tried to bring most of the experience he had gained to his country. He immortalized the experiences he lived, the advice of the physicians he worked with and took lessons, with his works written in a plain language so that the Ottoman people could benefit. In the study, the works of Physician Besim Ömer about maternal and child health in the late 19th century and the first medical yearbook, Nevsâl-i Âfiyet in four volumes, were used. In these works, Besim Omer gave the stages of nutrition and growth of a healthy individual in the aspects he learned and experienced in Europe. In this respect, many subjects are similar to those of today. For example, the emphasis and effort placed on feeding a newborn with milk and breast milk if possible in the first 6 months leads in this regard. Efforts to encourage breastfeeding, giving rewards if necessary, and the importance given to regular and healthy nutrition until the age of 2 and beyond were undoubtedly necessary for a healthier Ottoman generation, as it is today. Drawing attention to the child deaths in Europe caused by malnutrition on this issue, Ömer stated that women should be given training on the subject so that the said cases would not increase in the Ottoman Empire. Because just like in Europe, population growth and policy are important issues in the Ottoman Empire. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: This descriptive study aims to determine the medical error attitudes of physicians and nurses working in a university hospital. Materials and Methods: The research data were collected in a university hospital between September and October 2020. The study sample consisted of 110 nurses and 91 physicians. Data were collected using the individual identification form and the Attitudes towards Medical Errors Scale. Results: It was determined that 48.4% of the physicians were between the ages of 30-39, 69.2% were men, 48.2% of the nurses were between the ages of 20-29, and 73.8% were women. Physicians' Medical Error Attitude Scale mean total score was 3.11±.59, and the total mean score of the nurses was 3.06±.61. There was a statistically significant difference between physicians' and nurses' mean scores of the Medical Error Attitude Scale subdimension "Medical Error Perception" and "Medical Error Approach" (p<0.05). It was determined that the mean score of the scale was not affected by age, gender, service worked, working style, and weekly working hours (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that nurses and physicians were aware of medical errors and error reporting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This descriptive study was conducted in a foundation university hospital complex in Istanbul and aimed to evaluate the anxiety in physicians who provide new type 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID) related and non-COVID-19-related services. Materials and Methods: This study included 50 physicians who provide COVID-19-related services and 52 physicians with non-COVID-19-related services. A questionnaire that contains sociodemographic and occupational characteristics of physicians and a state-trait anxiety scale were used as data collection tools. Data were collected through an online survey application. Data analysis checked the variable distribution using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Since no normal distribution was found, the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons of two groups, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparisons of more than two groups. The Pearson correlation analysis was performed for correlation analysis. Results: Our study determined significantly higher mean state anxiety scores of physicians who provide COVID-19-related services than that of the other group (p<0.05). According to age groups, the mean trait anxiety scores of physicians aged 43 years and over who provide COVID-19-related services were significantly lower than that in physicians who provide non-COVID-19-related services (p<0.05). A strong positive correlation was found in the state and trait anxiety scale mean scores between both groups (p<0.05). Therefore, state and trait anxiety increase in correlation. Conclusion: Our study revealed higher state anxiety of physicians who provide COVID-19-related services than that of physicians who provide non-COVID-19-related services. Additionally, no difference was found in the trait anxiety, which indicates that working in the pandemic services causes anxiety [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CAUSES OF TENSION BETWEEN PHYSICIAN-NURSE IN WORKING ENVIRONMENTS AND MANAGEMENT OF CONFLICT Aim: The aim of the current study was to investigate the empirical studies on the reasons for conflict among physicians and nurses with a literature review on the topic. In that way, all the past findings were reviewed for the consideration of readers. By conducting this study, it was aimed to present some recommendations and to give information about the styles that preferred for the conflict management to the professionals and academics in the field. Thus, the current study was designed as a literature review. Methods: The universe of the study consists of experimental studies examining conflicts between physicians and nurses. Related studies are provided from databases such as Google Scholar, Ulakbim, YOK Thesis and Turkish Medical Index. Between the years of 2004-2018 national publications on the subject were scanned and 41 studies were reached. Among these, studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded and the remaining 17 studies were included in the study. In the screening of studies were used key words such as "hospital", "nurse", "physician" and "conflict". Results: The main conflict between physicians and nurses was found to be the uncertainty of job descriptions, communication problems, working conditions, physician's rude and destructive behaviors and occupational perception. The most commonly used styles in conflict management are integration, compromise, listening/comprehension and avoidance; the least used ones were forced and domination. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it was found that both nurses and physicians have the conflict because of different reasons and use different kinds of conflict management styles.
