Health communication is an interdisciplinary concept and set of practices that aims to explain the strategic importance of communication in addressing the health issues that we both directly experience and are indirectly affected by in the field of health, and to encourage applications towards this end. In the face of rising healthcare costs, the health field was integrated into the market system in the 1970s, with the aim of balancing its income and expenditure on the one hand, and making a profit from it on the other. In relation to this goal, the health services approach replaced the medical approach. This new approach aim to expand the field of health as a market by associating almost every aspect of life with health and including them in the scope of health. Health communication in the contemporary sense emerged at such a time, in an economic and political context driven by global dynamics. While health communication is beneficial in addressing health-related issues, its role as a means of legitimizing new health approaches driven by global macro dynamics creates a paradoxical situation. These dynamics, which are the primary determinants of increasing health problems, especially health inequalities, inherently limit the solutions that can be developed through health communication. This is a rather complex situation. Although it is aimed to develop strategic solutions to the problems in the field of health through health communication by neglecting this situation, it is still difficult to achieve this due to both the inherent uncertainties of the diseasehealth phenomenon and the problem-creating nature of the communication phenomenon itself. In addition, the concept of 'crisis pandemic' developed in this article highlights the interconnectedness of the problems in the field of health with other global problems, and therefore argues that these problems cannot be solved by developing solutions to the health system problems alone. The study examines the historical development of health communication and discusses the challenges that this discipline faces in providing solutions to the problems in the field of health and presenting successful practical examples in today's world. In this context, the concept and phenomenon of health communication, which is expected to solve some problems in the field of health and to improve the field, is questioned using the method of problematisation.

Objective: It is widely recognized that the COVID-19 pandemic and associated social isolation have significant short- and long-term effects on mental health worldwide. Previous studies have yielded mixed results regarding the short-term impact on mental health during the first wave of the pandemic. This study aims to investigate the influence of the second wave of the pandemic on suicide rates among children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study recorded cases of self-harm among children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years, who were admitted to our center's pediatric emergency department between November 1, 2020, and January 31, 2021. These cases were compared with those admitted during the same months one year prior, considering similar age groups and diagnoses. Results: A total of 53 cases were included in our study, with 21 cases occurring before the pandemic and 32 cases during the second wave. While the total number of admissions decreased during the second wave of the pandemic, there was an increase in suicide attempts. Suicide attempts were more prevalent among females, often linked to family or peer-related issues and impulsivity. Conclusions: The findings of our study highlight the evident long-term adverse effects on mental health during the second wave of the pandemic. To effectively address these consequences in the future, it is crucial to comprehend the devastating long-term impact of the pandemic on mental health.

Although the COVID-19 Pandemic is a global health crisis, it is an epidemic that re-regulates many areas of life and profession. This study focused on designs made by independent designers to protect and help protect people from disease. So, the relevant tendency is important in raising awareness and improving the desired behavior during the current COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, the iconic designs of an independent designer in Turkey were examined to raise awareness at the point of the pandemic. Thus, it is aimed to understand the role of visuals in raising awareness and creating behavior. In the analysis, the semiotic analysis method was used. According to the analysis, it is seen that the examined visuals are quite remarkable often calling for protection from the new Coronavirus through euphemism and often using metaphors. On the other hand, it may be thought that the visuals examined may not convince everyone to be careful and avoid exposure to the virus. In the study, a social network analysis was also conducted to understand the appearance and interaction status of the pandemic in social networks, and the networks '#evdekal' (stay at home) and '#hayatevesigar' (life fits into the home) on Twitter were examined. The results of the social network analysis show that the course of the pandemic did not arouse public reaction (in the scope of the analysis period). However, the fact that close connections cannot be established between different networks and the presence of the government party and the Minister of Health in the networks is also important in terms of public opinion and interaction.

2019 yılı Aralık ayında Çin’ in Hubei Eyaletinin Wuhan kentinde ortaya çıkan yeni solunum yolu hastalığı II. Dünya Savaşından sonra dünya genelinde yaşanan en büyük sağlık kaynaklı sosyo-ekonomik kriz olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından Covid-19 ismi ile pandemi olarak ilan edilen bu yeni durum, SARS-CoV-2 (ciddi akut solunum sendromu korona virüs 2)’nin bir türü olmakla birlikte, dünyaya hızlı bir şekilde yayılarak tüm insanlığı ilk olarak sağlık yönünden etkiliyor gibi görünse de; sosyo-ekonomik yönden de ağır sonuçlara sebebiyet vermiştir. İlk dönemlerde hastalığın tedavisinde yaşanılan belirsizlikler nedeniyle en uygun korunma yönetiminin sosyal izolasyon ile sağlanması, tüm dünya milletlerinin karantina sürecini başlatmıştır. Dünya önceden de hem ekonomik hem de sosyal hayatla ilgili olarak dijital teknolojilerin ekseninde küresel bir yapıda iken, salgınla birlikte gelişen sosyal mesafe ve izolasyonun gerekliliği, dijitalleşmeyi bu süreçte hem arttırmış hem de yoğunlaştırmıştır. Artık küresel iletişim her zamankinden daha yoğun bir şekilde dijital platformlar üzerinden sağlanmakla birlikte, çalışma hayatından eğitime, sağlık hizmetlerinden ticarete dünya yoğun bir dijitalleşme sürecine girmiştir. Bu nedenle, ülkelerin birbirlerine sınırlarını kapattıkları, seyahatlerin askıya alındığı, tedarik zincirlerinin kırıldığı, birçok sektörün durma noktasına geldiği bu sürecin tüm insanlığa sosyal, ekonomik, psikolojik vb. sonuçları olacak ve böylesi pandemiler gelecekte de dünya için risk olmaya devam edecektir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, yaklaşık bir yılı geçen ve daha da sürmesi beklenen Covid-19 pandemisinin farklı alanlarda dijitalleşmeye etkilerinin kavramsal çerçevede ele alınarak değerlendirilmesidir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, pandemi döneminde yaşanan kaygı ve sosyal izolasyonun akademisyenlerin mesleklerine olan yabancılaşma düzeylerine etkisini ve psikolojik olarak güçlü olmanın akademik yabancılaşmayı azaltıcı etkisini araştırmaktır. Bunun yanında akademik performans ile akademisyenliğe yabancılaşma ve psikolojik dayanıklılık ilişkisi de incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını, Türkiye’nin 75 ilinden 684 akademisyen oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri online anket tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler üzerinde SPSS ve Amos paket programları kullanılarak; betimsel analizler, ilişki analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yapılmıştır. Bulgulara göre pandemi döneminde akademisyenlerin mesleklerine yabancılaşma düzeyleri tüm boyutlarda artış göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte akademisyenlerin kendine ve araştırmaya yabancılaşmaları ile akademik performansları arasında olumsuz etki görülmüş. Akademik performans ve psikolojik dayanıklılık ile olumlu ilişkili bulunmuştur. Ayrıca psikolojik dayanıklılık akademisyenliğe yabancılaşmayı tüm boyutlarda azaltmaktadır.

Objective: Pregnant women who are scheduled for cesarean section are often undecided about which anesthesia method to choose before the operation.

COVID-19'dan sorumlu virüs SARS-CoV-2, insandan insana doğrudan temas yoluyla veya damlacıklar yoluyla bulaşmakta ve ciddi sağlık sorunlarına yol açmaktadır. Dünya sağlık örgütü (DSÖ) hijyenik koşulların çok iyi sağlanması, enfekte olan kişilerle yakın temasın önlenmesi, sık sık el yıkama ve dezenfektanların kullanılması gibi önlemler ile COVID 19 pandemisinin kontrol edilebileceğini belirtmektedir. Dezenfeksiyon için hidrojen peroksit, alkol içeren ürünler, sodyum hipoklorit veya benzalkonyum klorür gibi çeşitli biyosidal maddeler kullanılmaktadır. Genel olarak el dezenfektanları, alkol içermeyen ve içeren olmak üzere iki kategoride incelenebilir. El dezenfektanları köpük, jel ve sprey şeklinde formüle edilebilirler. DSÖ gibi sağlık otoriteleri COVID-19 pandemisinde kullanılacak dezenfektanların özelliklerini belirten rehberler yayınlamışlardır. COVID-19 pandemisinin kontrolü için uygun ürünlerin seçimi konusunda eczacı gibi sağlık profesyonellerine danışılmalıdır. Güvenilmez ürünler satın alınmamalıdır. Bu derlemenin amacı, SARS-CoV ve MERS-CoV dahil tüm koronavirüslere karşı yaygın olarak kullanılan biyosidal ajanların, özellikle el ve yüzey dezenfektanlarının incelenmesidir. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
