This study is a meta-analysis study that aims to evaluate ergonomic issues in workplaces in terms of occupational health and safety practices. Data used in the analysis were obtained through searches on databases such as Google Scholar, YÖK Thesis, EBSCO, and Web of Science without any time restrictions between January and March 2024. A total of 15 research studies were included in the search results. The data obtained were synthesized using narrative synthesis and meta-analysis methods. The total sample size of the data used in the analysis is 65,160. Based on the analysis results, it was found that the practices implemented for addressing ergonomic issues faced by employees in the workplace were effective (SMD: 0.367, 95% CI: 0.055-0.679; Z = 2.305, p = 0.021, I2 = 97.761%, Q = 625.169). The variance among studies is statistically significant according to the analysis results (p < 0.05). It is believed that challenges related to the structure of work in workplaces lead to various discomforts in employees, and therefore, ergonomic practices can minimize physical strains on employees, contribute to work efficiency, and enhance employee health and safety.

Virtual reality (VR) applications have been increasingly utilized in the field of psychology over the past 15 years, particularly within cognitive-behavioral therapy, where VR is now a preferred method in multiple exposure techniques. This study conducted a metaanalysis to assess the effectiveness of VR in treating various mental disorders. The metaanalysis followed PRISMA guidelines and included 17 studies out of 1,029 initially identified. Based on the heterogeneity test results, the studies were found to be homogeneously distributed (Q=23.09, p>.01), with a low level of heterogeneity (I²=30.71). The random effects model revealed a statistically significant overall effect size (η²= 0.73) for VR's effectiveness. This corresponds to a Hedges' g value indicating a medium to large effect size. The results suggest that VR is an effective treatment for a wide range of disorders, including stress-related conditions, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety, fear of public speaking, agoraphobia, specific phobias (e.g., spiders, heights, flying), and panic disorder. Additionally, VR has shown promise in empathy development interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the present study is to analyze average effect size of the relationship between internet addiction and social appearance anxiety utilising the meta-analysis method. The study included 23 studies published between 2016 and 2022, and the study sample was composed of Turkish participants. The number of participants was 8957. Analysis results showed that the heterogeneity was significant and high. The general effect size was found to be significant in the relationship between internet addiction and social appearance anxiety, it had a medium effect size. However, moderating roles of the year of publication and education level were not found to be significant. Funnel plot analysis was performed to determine publication bias. Egger’s regression test was also performed, which was not significant at a 95% confidence interval. No significant difference was found between observed in Duval and Tweedie’s trim and fill test and corrected effect size. All these analyses indicate that there is no publication bias. The findings of the present study are discussed on basis of the relevant literature.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being and anxiety and depression in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment through meta-analysis method.Methods: Pubmed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest databases were used to gather the data. All databases were reviewed for the last time on April 5, 2022, and a total of 5 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Effect size was evaluated according to Cohen's r correlation coefficient effect width classification. I2 tests were calculated to test heterogeneity.Results: It was found that the effect of spirituality on reducing depression was negative and at a large effect level. Moreover, it was investigated that the effect of spiritual well-being on reducing anxiety was negative and moderate. Since I2 > 50 in both analyses, random effects model was used for carrying out the process of analysis.Conclusion: It was found that spiritual well-being had a great effect on depression and moderate effect on anxiety in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. High levels of spiritual well-being can reduce the incidence of anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients. In addition, it can be indicated that spiritual care offered to patients receiving hemodialysis treatment would reduce the level of anxiety and depression.

The notion of metacognition, characterized as reasoning about one's own mental functions or perceptions of one's own thinking patterns, has long been an important concept in the field of education. The majority of researchers and academics agree on the fact that metacognition remains an essential component in learners' progress in terms of cognitive abilities as well as academic achievement. The goal of the current meta-analysis was to examine the correlation between academic achievement and metacognitive awareness across a diverse range of research studies. To this end, the current study described a meta-analysis of 36 studies (N= 10,463), published between 2008 and 2023 April, exploring the correlation between metacognitive awareness and academic achievement. A systematic search for the related studies was conducted in electronic databases (ULAKBİM, ERIC, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR) and it included only the studies that illustrated correlation coefficients between the variables. An examination of the total effect size of metacognitive awareness on academic achievement at 95% confidence interval revealed the size of .824. This figure indicates a strong relationship between metacognitive awareness and academic achievement in accordance with the overall effect size scale, highlighting the significance of metacognitive abilities in improving students' academic achievements by indicating a robust correlation.

The aim of the study is to assess educational comics in the context of meta-analytic and meta-thematic analysis. Within the scope of meta-analysis, studies on educational comics from 2005 to 2021 were obtained from different databases. The effect size of educational comics studies on achievement was medium (g=0.71), and on attitudes was also medium (g=0.70), with educational comics in favour of academic achievement and attitude points. Moderator analyses were conducted in the meta-analytic process and it is aimed to address the status of educational comic activity in terms of teaching levels, application process, subject matter domains and sample sizes. The reliability of meta-analysis process was considered and the operations in the meta-analysis process were completed at reliable levels. For the meta-thematic aspect, national and international studies with qualitative dimensions were reached. Despite some minor flaws of the comic, it has been seen that it has positive effects on academic achievement, attitude and cognitive and affective dimensions of students. These emerging data were combined in two directions and it was ensured that the study reached a general conclusion. It is thought that performing both meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis with different data sources contributes to the scope and reliability of the research.

Aim: Although there are some studies examining the effects of psycho-education on fear of childbirth and outcomes in the postpartum period, high-quality evidence is lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to evaluate the effects of psycho-education on fear of childbirth and postpartum outcomes. Methods: The literature search was completed by a comprehensive and systematic search of the PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and Science Citation Index (Web of Science) databases until December 2022. Outcome data including the effect of psycho-education on fear of childbirth, labor and birth outcomes were collected for analysis. In the preparation of the systematic review and metaanalysis, the guidelines in the Cochrane Interventions Manual of Systematic Reviews and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines (PRISMA) were based on the recommendations of the guidelines followed. Data were analyzed using the Review Manager computer program (Version 5.3). Cochrane risk-of-bias tools were used in the quality assessment of the studies. Results: Eight randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis: all 8 studies were combined for fear of childbirth. In the meta-analysis, it was seen that psycho-education decreased the fear of birth (MD: 10.18 95% CI: 9.32 to 11.05, Z = 23.09, p < 0.00001) in pregnant women when the anxiety and depression rate (SMD: -0.36 95% CI: -0.57 to -0.15, Z = 3.34, p=0.0008) were examined, it was seen that there was no difference in depression, it decreased the cesarean section (SMD: -0.35 95% CI: -0.49 to -0.22, Z = 5.19, p<0.00001) rate and increased the self-efficacy (SMD: 0.38 95% CI:0.25 to 0.51, Z =5.58 p <0.00001) rate. Conclusion: This study provides sufficient evidence that psycho-education is effective in reducing fear of childbirth, anxiety, and cesarean section rates, while increasing self-efficacy.

Objective: The aim of this research is to examine the characteristics of mushroom poisoning (MP) seen in Turkey and to evaluate the results of clinical studies conducted on this subject in the last 20 years. Methods: Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus databases were scanned with the phrases "mushroom poisoning, mushroom poisoning in Turkey". 17 studies including sample volume, gender distribution, age average, complaint to the health institution, transplantation and full recovery rates were included in the analysis. In statistical data, random effects model was used. Results: 17 different studies have been identified which give the average age of MP cases, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain symptoms, liver and kidney failure, complete recovery and transpantation rates. The average age in studies involving MP cases was 38.2 years (95Cl% 36.1-40.3). The average age determined as to whether the family members are adults, elderly or childhood is as expected. Conclusions: Although the rates of admission to hospital according to gender distribution of MP patients are similar, the signs and symptoms at admission, the distribution of liver and kidney failure, and the rates of complete remission after transplantation vary significantly.
