Objective: During pandemic periods that affect most of the population, the people on the front lines are healthcare workers and therefore their risk of being physically and psychologically affected is much higher than the normal population. This study aimed to evaluate the sleep quality and burnout level of research assistants working at Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine during the COVID-19 period. Methods: The study included 378 research assistants at Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine between 15.02.2021 and 14.06.2021, including 337 people who actively worked in the pandemic and 41 people who did not take part in the pandemic. Those who were on maternity leave, those who were specialists, those who left the university, Those who did not volunteer were not included in the study. The Sociodemographic Information Form consisting of 57 questions, the Maslach Burnout Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale were applied in the survey, which was applied via face-to-face interview or online method. Results: Of the 378 research assistants in the study, 49.7% were women and 50.3% were men, the median age was 28, and 5% worked in Basic Medical Sciences, 60.9% in Internal Medicine Sciences, 34% in Internal Medicine. 1 of them was working in Surgical Medical Sciences. The median daily working time of research assistants was 9 hours, and the median weekly working time was 75 hours. The median nightly sleep duration of research assistants was 6.5 hours, and 54% slept less than 7 hours. Those whose daily working hours were over 8 hours and those whose weekly working hours were over 45 hours had worse sleep quality and higher burnout scores (p<0.001). As emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores increased, sleep quality worsened (p<0.001). While working in the pandemic did not affect sleep quality, it was found to increase emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores (p=0.686, p=0.038, p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that taking part in the pandemic increased burnout subscale scores. It was found that as daily and weekly working hours increased, research assistants' sleep quality worsened and their burnout scores were higher. It was determined that as research assistants' sleep quality worsened, their burnout subscale scores increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to investigate whether the attitudes and perceptions of participants towards the "physical education and game" lesson had changed after the pandemic. Convenient sampling technique was used to determine the research group comprising classroom teachers actively working within Gümüşhane center and its districts during the 2022-2023 academic year. The study will analyze if there were any significant changes in their views and opinions. A total of 240 classroom teachers participated in the study, of whom 57.1% were female and 42.9% were male. Descriptive statistical methods including arithmetic mean and standard deviation, as well as normal distribution criteria such as kurtosis and skewness values, were utilized. Additionally, t-tests, ANOVA, and correlation tests were employed to analyze the personal information and scale responses of the participants. The research findings indicate that classroom teachers hold positive attitudes towards physical education and game lessons, with few issues encountered. Variations in classroom teachers' attitudes and problem perceptions towards physical education and game lessons exist across certain variables. Furthermore, 81.7% of said teachers believe it is appropriate for physical education and game lessons to be administered by subject-specific educators. Correlation analysis has demonstrated that as classroom teachers' attitudes towards physical education lessons improve, their problem perceptions decrease. In terms of other studies in the literature, it can be concluded that physical education and games teachers' attitudes increased and their perception of problems decreased after the pandemic. The study highlights a significant gap in determining the attitudes and challenges faced by classroom teachers towards physical education and sports lessons after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Covid-19 virus has limited people's activities outside the home due to PSBB which causes boredom. One of the activities that can be done is to optimally utilize the yard and increase awareness of the importance of healthy vegetables to encourage urban farming practices in supporting family food security. This research provides an overview of urban farming practices that are widely practiced by the community during the pandemic, knowing the factors that cause people to practice urban farming during the pandemic and the impact of urban farming practices on family food security. This research is descriptive qualitative written based on the results of interviews and observations using literature studies and related journals. Data were collected from 30 members of farmer women groups (KWT), namely KWT Idola, KWT Bersatu, and KWT Berseri in Bogor Regency. Data processing was carried out with descriptive analysis. The results showed that the pandemic period had a very good impact on the management and optimal utilization of the yard where there were superior vegetables and the uniqueness of the thematic system in each KWT. The community has used media technologies such as soil, pots/polybags, used goods, styrofoam, Budikdamber, hydroponics, and aquaponics. Based on the theory of innovation adoption, the driving factor for the community to do urban farming is seen from the advantages of technology utilization on the land. The impact felt is as a means of fulfilling family needs, greening the yard, educating the importance of healthy vegetables, reducing household expenses, fostering the habit of saving and saving, channeling hobbies, a sense of community and a healthy lifestyle.

Aim: This descriptive study was conducted to investigate the relationship between nursing students' fear due to the COVID-19 outbreak and their professional attitude. Material and Methods: The study was carried out with the voluntary participation of 324 students, including 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students studying in a Nursing School in the 2020-2021 academic year. After obtaining consent forms from the volunteer students, The Student Identification Form, The COVID-19 Fear Scale, and The Attitude Scale towards the Nursing Profession were applied to the students online. The data was analyzed by descriptive tests, Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis-H test, and Spearman's Rho Correlation test. Results: It was determined that most of the students were female (77.8%), single (98.1%), living with their family (75.9%), and willingly chose the nursing profession (86.1%). When the fear level of students regarding the COVID-19 pandemic was examined, it was determined that the fear level of students who were female, unemployed, did not choose their profession willingly, and were diagnosed as COVID-19 positive was higher than other students. Students' attitudes towards the nursing profession were determined to be generally positive. No significant relationship was found between fear of COVID-19 and professional attitude. Conclusion: It was found that nursing students experienced moderate fear of the COVID-19 outbreak, and their professional attitudes were positive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Design: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the entire healthcare system in many ways. In our study, we aimed to determine how the dermatology outpatient profile was affected by the pandemic and the level of pandemic awareness. Materials and Methods: Data of patients seen at our outpatient clinic within the first 60 days prior to declaration of the pandemic in Turkey and 60 days afterward were extracted through the digital hospital database. A questionnaire with 24 questions, 8 specifically about the pandemic, were completed by 123 patients (9.3%) out of the 1,314 patients who applied to our outpatient clinic during the pandemic. Results: A total of 3,202 patients were evaluated. Of these, 1,888 (59%) were examined before and 1,314 (41%) during the pandemic. A 30.4% decrease in the number of patients was observed during the pandemic. There was also a significant increase in the male to female ratio. Psoriasis, bullous diseases, and melanoma diagnoses showed a statistically significant increase in frequency whereas acne, xerosis cutis and nail diseases were less frequent. Female patients were more frequently affected psychologically by the pandemic (76.1% versus 53.8%) (p=0.017). Duration of dermatological complaints was shorter than 3 months in 44 (35.8%) patients, between 3 to 6 months in 12 (9.8%) and longer than 6 months in 67 (54.5%) patients. Ninety-one (74%) of the patients felt that their reason for seeking an appoinment at the dermatology outpatient clinic was "urgent". There was no statistically significant relationship between the patients' opinion of whether their complaints consisted of an emergency and the duration of the skin disease (p=0.830). Conclusion: Our finding that the "emergency" concept of patients differs from that of medical professionals is striking. In this period of dramatic changes in the healthcare system, such as the pandemic, online technology may be beneficial for better healthcare service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Design: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused unexpected and drastic changes in the modus operandi of global healthcare. Psoriasis is a dermatosis that necessitates the provision of special healthcare services in dermatology clinics, due to its severe effects on quality of life and its socioeconomic consequences. This study aimed to identify pandemic-related problems experienced by psoriasis patients followed up in our outpatient clinic, thereby revealing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on these patients. Materials and Methods: This study included 64 patients with plaque psoriasis who were followed up at the Psoriasis Outpatient Clinic of Aydın Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Dermatology 6 months before and after the start of the pandemic in Türkiye. A questionnaire was used to inquire how the patients were affected by the pandemic; median Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores and number of hospital visits were compared with pre-pandemic values. Results: Thirty-six patients (56.3%) stated that the pandemic had no effect on their disease, 20 patients (31.3%) reported a deterioration of their disease. The most common reasons thought to aggravate disease were pandemic-related stress and changes in treatment regimen. Treatment of 43 patients (67.2%) remained the same during the pandemic. There was a change in treatment in 21 patients (32.8%). The median number of patient visits to our outpatient clinic was 3 before the pandemic, which dropped to 2 during the first 6 months of the pandemic (p<0.001). PASI scores were compared on an individual basis, and 30 patients (46.9%) in the study group had an increase in their median PASI scores during the pandemic. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic led to fewer patient visits to the hospital and difficulties in managing patient compliance to treatment. Our study showed that approximately half the psoriatic patients being treated had an increase in the severity of their disease during the COVID-19 pandemic. A considerable percentage of these patients linked this deterioration with the pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between MPV and disease prognosis in patients with COVID-19, the chronic diseases that affect the prognosis of COVID-19, and the laboratory data that can help diagnose this disease and provide information about the course of the disease during the treatment process. Methods: The study was conducted in a cross-sectional format. All participants gave written, informed consent to participate. A questionnaire consisting of two parts, including categorical (socio-demographic) data and laboratory data, was applied to people who had COVID-19 who applied to the internal medicine outpatient clinic of the hospital. The Pearson chi-squared test and Fisher exact test were used for comparing categorical variables. The Mann-Whitney U test, or Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni post hoc comparisons, was used to compare numerical variables between the groups. All analyses were performed using the SPSS 25.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, ‎USA) software package. Results: The participants' mean (±SD) age was 40.8±13.7 years (median: 40, range: 18 – 72). Almost half of the participants (48.0%, n=98) were male, the majority (76.0%, n=155) were married, and 24.0% (n=49) were single. Of the 204 patients, 28 (13.7%) were hospitalized, and five died (2.5%). Of the five patients who died, three had chronic lung disease, one had diabetes and chronic lung disease, and one had no chronic disease. Conclusion: Older age and the presence of chronic diseases are important factors affecting hospitalization in patients with COVID-19. LDH, CRP, and ferritin levels were high, and the mean platelet volume levels were significantly higher in hospitalized patients. Keywords: COVID -19, pandemics, prognosis of COVID -19

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate personal protective behaviors after COVID-19 vaccination in healthcare workers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with healthcare workers (physician, dentist, midwife, nurse, health officer or emergency medicine technician) in Bursa City Hospital between September 1, 2021 and September 1, 2022. Data was collected with a questionnaire form which was sent to participants via WhatsApp or email. Results: All participants had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 31.0% had had experienced at least one COVID-19 infection. It was determined that while the use of N95 masks in the workplace (p

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has had the most significant impact on human life in this century and has become the subject of study for various disciplines. However, a discussion on the existence of the pandemic from the perspective of Islamic theology has not been adequately addressed. This article aims to discuss how Islamic theological discourse interprets the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of theological beliefs in responding to the pandemic mitigation efforts. This study uses a descriptive analytical method to examine the phenomenon within the framework of Islamic theology. The study shows that Islam theologically views disasters from two perspectives; first, as an absolute decree of God believed to have wisdom and education for human beings, and secondly, as part of the sunnatullah that can be explored scientifically. The study also reveals that three theological patterns have emerged in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the fatalistic pattern (Jabariah) that entirely surrenders to the will of Allah SWT without attempting to resist it. Second, the freewill pattern (Qadariyah) that believes that humans have the full ability to resist and eliminate COVID-19. Third, the Ahlusunah Wal Jamaah pattern that regards COVID-19 as sunnatullah; thus, in addition to accepting it as part of fate, humans need to perfect their efforts to avoid this deadly epidemic. Abstrak: Munculnya pandemi covid-19 telah memberi dampak terdahsyat bagi kehidupan manusia di abad ini dan telah menjadi objek kajian dari berbagai disiplin keilmuan, Namun kajian dari perspektif teologi Islam terkait keberadaan pandemi belum terdiskusikan secara memadai. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan tentang bagaimana diskursus teologi Islam dalam memaknai pandemi covid-19 dan bagaimana pengaruh corak keyakinan teologis dalam merespons upaya mitigasi pandemi ini. Kajian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dalam melihat fenomena ini dalam kerangka pikir teologi Islam. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa secara teologis Islam memandang bencana dari dua sisi; yaitu sebagai sebuah ketetapan Tuhan yang mutlak yang diyakini memiliki hikmah dan edukasi bagi manusia, serta dipahami sebagai bagian dari sunnatullah yang dapat dieksplorasi secara saintifik. Kajian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa tiga corak teologi muncul dalam konteks merespons pandemi Covid-19; Pertama, corak fatalisme (Jabariah) yang menyerahkan sepenuhnya kepada kehendak Allah SWT tanpa harus berusaha untuk melawannya. Kedua, corak freewill (Qadariyah) yang menganggap bahwa manusia memiliki kemampuan penuh untuk melakukan perlawanan dan membasmi Covid-19. Ketiga, corak Ahlusunah Wal Jamaah yang memandang bahwa Covid-19 ini adalah sunnatullah, karenanya selain manusia harus menerimanya sebagai bagian dari takdir tetapi juga manusia perlu menyempurnakan ikhtiar untuk menghindari wabah yang mematikan ini.

Nedstengingen 12 mars 2020 førte med seg drastiske endringer i hverdagsliv og mediebruk. Basert på en kvalitativ undersøkelse med 552 respondenter, analyserer artikkelen endringer i medierepertoar i de første dramatiske månedene av koronaepidemien i Norge. Medierepertoar handler om personers helhetlige mediebruk og hvordan bruken flettes inn i hverdagsaktiviteter, men også om hvordan medier vurderes og rangeres, og hvordan nye og gamle medier spiller sammen. Krisesituasjoner synliggjør dagligdagse repertoarer, men bidrar også til å utfordre og utvide disse, og her ser artikkelen norske erfaringer i lys av internasjonal forskning. Artikkelen etablerer to kvalitative typologier: over strategier som brukes for å tilpasse medierepertoaret i løpet av nedstengingen, og forklaringer respondentene framhever som grunnlag for ulike valg. Underveis trekker vi inn sentrale dimensjoner som tid/rom, rangering i hierarkier og behov for frakobling. Artikkelen viser glede og mestring over nye plattformer og medierepertoar, men også spenning, ambivalens og forskjeller mellom personer og grupper. Analysen bidrar til kunnskap om medieerfaringer i en dramatisk og spesiell periode i norsk hverdags- og samfunnsliv, gir innsikt i hvordan medievaner forandres under press, og presenterer refleksjoner og erfaringer som utfyller endringer dokumentert i statistiske undersøkelser.

Bakgrunn: I mars 2020 erklærte Verdens helseorganisasjon utbruddet av covid-19 som en global pandemi. Anestesisykepleiere har blant annet spesialkompetanse innen luftveishåndtering, og ble raskt flyttet til frontlinjen blant annet ved intensivavdelingene for å ivareta håndteringen av smittede pasienter. Hensikt: Hensikten med denne studien var å få en dypere forståelse for anestesisykepleiernes erfaringer med midlertidig å bli omplassert fra en anestesiavdeling og/eller å få tildelt andre arbeidsoppgaver under covid-19-pandemien i Norge. Metode: Det er anvendt en kvalitativ metode med eksplorerende design og induktiv tilnærmelse. Datainnsamling ble gjort via individuelle dybdeintervju av seks anestesisykepleiere ved et universitetssykehus i Norge. Dataanalysen ble utført ved hjelp av kvalitativ innholdsanalyse. Resultat: Dataanalysen resulterte i ett overordnet tema: Fra trussel til kontroll, og fire kategorier: Å stå i front i ukjent terreng; Sammen er vi sterke; Moralsk plikt til å bidra; Med ledelsen i ryggen. Hver kategori ble også utdypet med sub-kategorier. Konklusjon: Innledningsvis var omplasseringen forbundet med usikkerhet, engstelse og uforutsigbarhet, samtidig som anestesisykepleierne opplevde en sterk moralsk plikt til å bidra i front. Etter hvert ble følelsene erstattet med yrkesstolthet, opplevelsen av å være en ressurs, ny læring og opplevelsen av kontroll. Ledelsen har et særlig ansvar for at det er tilstrekkelig personale, tilrettelegge for medvirkning, opplæring og kompensasjonsordninger ved eventuell lignende situasjon i fremtiden. ENGLISH ABSTRACT From threat to control – nurse anesthetists’ experiences of being redeployed or assigned new tasks during the Covid-19 pandemic in Norway Background: In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of Covid-19 a global pandemic. Nurse anesthetists have, among other things, advanced expertise in airway management, and were quickly moved to the front line, including the intensive care units to care for infected patients. Aim: The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of nurse anesthetists’ experience of being temporarily relocated from an anesthesia department and/or being assigned other work tasks during the Covid-19 pandemic in Norway. Method: A qualitative method with exploratory design and inductive approach has been used. Data collection was done via individual in-depth interviews with six nurse anesthetists at a university hospital in Norway. The data analysis was carried out using qualitative content analysis. Results: The data analysis resulted in one overarching theme, From threat to control, and four categories: To stand in front in unfamiliar terrain; Together we are strong; Moral duty to contribute; Supportive management. Each category was also elaborated with sub-categories. Conclusion: Initially, the relocation was associated with uncertainty, anxiety and unpredictability, while at the same time they experienced a strong moral duty to contribute to the front. Gradually, the feelings were replaced with professional pride, the experience of being a resource, new learning, and the experience of control. Having a supportive management was absolutely crucial. The management has a particular responsibility in ensuring that there are sufficient staff, facilitating participation, training and compensatory arrangements in the event of a similar situation in the future.

Background: The incident numbers of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Asia is increasing gradually from year to year. Activity restriction (lockdown) that happened during COVID-19 pandemic affects society's eating habit and life style which are risk factors of GERD and the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux. This study was conducted to find the incidence and characteristics of GERD during COVID-19 pandemic and compared with the previous situation in patients who met the diagnostic criteria at H. Adam Malik General Hospital. Method: This research is a descriptive research study with a cross sectional design study where data were taken based on data from medical records at H. Adam Malik General Hospital in 2017-2022 with the sampling technique used is total sampling, where the research subjects were all patients diagnosed GERD that met the inclusion criteria. Results: The incidence of GERD before (2017-2019) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022) were 21 and 37 patients respectively (there was a 76% escalation in the incidence of GERD during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic). The similar characteristics of GERD patients before and during the COVID-19 pandemic are age > 40 years, work as an employee, high school graduate, and overweight body mass index (BMI). Conclusion: The incidence of GERD has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before the pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
