Background: This study aims to determine the psychometric properties of the World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) Turkish version in Turkish adults and older adults.Methods: This is a multicenter cultural adaptation study carried out with 1752 participants. Internal consistency (by Cronbach’s alpha); Construct validity (by known groups and confirmatory factor analysis-CFI) and discriminant validity are evaluated stratified by adults and older adults. Cohen’s Effect Size is used in known groups and discriminant validity analyses.Results: Distribution properties of the WHO-5 Turkish version are in acceptable limits. Alpha values are 0.81 for adults and 0.86 for older adults. The variances of the 58.5% of the adults sample and 63.9% of the older adults sample are explained in Exploratory FA. Model fits (CFI) are satisfactory ( > 0.95) in both samples; but RMSEA is poor in the older adults sample (0.166) whereas it is acceptable (0.073) in the adults sample. Known groups validity and discriminant analyses are satisfactory in both adults and older adults.Conclusion: The WHO-5 Turkish version has a good measurement capacity, internal consistency and good model fits in both samples. The error values in the older adults group suggest that the results when testing older adults should be interpreted with caution.

Giriş: Bu araştırma sağlık çalışanlarının tükenmişlik, iş doyumu düzeyleri ve yaşam doyumunun incelenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışma, Manisa Soma Devlet Hastanesinde çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 142 katılımcı ile yüz yüze görüşülerek yürütülmüştür. Anket formu; kişisel bilgi formu, Minnesota İş Doyumu Ölçeği, Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği ve Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeğinden oluşmaktadır. İstatistiksel çözümlemede tanımlayıcı veriler sayı ve yüzdelerle, gruplar arası ortalamalar t testi, Mann Whitney U testi, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis Varyans Analizi ile ölçeklerin arasındaki ilişki pearson korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma grubunun %77.5’i kadın, %34.5’i önlisans mezunu,%50.7’si hemşire, %66.2’si kadrolu çalışan, %31.7’si cerrahi kliniklerde çalışanlardan oluşmaktadır. Araştırma grubunun yaş ortalaması 32.71±8.57, Minnesota İçsel Doyum Ölçeği (MİDÖ) puan ortalaması 40.21±6.65, Minnesota Dışsal Doyum Ölçeği (MDDÖ) puan ortalaması 24.55±6.91, Minnesota Genel Doyum Ölçeği (MGDÖ) puan ortalaması 64.76±11.95, Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği Duygusal Tükenme (MTÖ-DT) puan ortalaması 26.02±6.14, Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği Duyarsızlaşma (MTÖ-D) puan ortalaması 10.83±3.32, Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği Kişisel Başarı (MTÖ-KB) puan ortalaması 23.57±7.45, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği (YDÖ) puan ortalaması 22.49±6.2’dir. Nöbet tutarak çalışanların MTÖ-DT ortalaması gündüz çalışanlara göre anlamlı olarak yüksektir (p<0.05). İş yükü fazla olanlarda MİDÖ, MDDÖ, MGDÖ, YDÖ puan ortalamaları anlamlı olarak düşüktür (p<0.05). İş yükü fazla olanlarda MDT ve MKB ortalamaları anlamlı olarak yüksektir (p<0.05). İş yükü fazla olanlarda MİDÖ, MDDÖ, MGDÖ, YDÖ ortalamaları anlamlı olarak daha düşüktür (p<0.05). MTÖ-DT ve MTÖ-KB ortalamaları ise iş yükü fazla olanlarda daha yüksektir (p<0.05). Hekimlerde MİDÖ, MDDÖ ve MGDÖ ortalaması diğer gruplara göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Çalışma süresi fazla olanlarda, mesleğini isteyerek seçenlerde, hekimlerde iş doyumu daha yüksektir. İş yükünün fazla olduğunu düşünenlerde, nöbet tutarak çalışanlarda, iş doyumu ve yaşam doyumu ortalamaları düşük, tükenmişlik ortalamaları yüksektir.

Background: Due to the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the risk of quiet quitting among healthcare professionals is increasing. Individuals who engage in the quiet quitting process may also unknowingly become the target of quiet firing. The concepts of quiet quitting and quiet firing play a crucial role in promoting employee resilience and preventing organizational losses.Method: This study aimed to conduct a validity and reliability analysis of the quiet quitting and quiet firing scale (QQ and QF scale) in Turkish. A methodological study was conducted with 445 healthcare professionals.Results: The item‐total score correlation values ranged between 0.37 and 0.76. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a 14‐item, two‐factor structure. Cronbach's ⍺ internal consistency coefficient was 0.89. The QQ and QF scale had a strong negative correlation with the person‐organization fit scale and the happiness at work scale subscales of engagement, job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment.Conclusion: The results showed that the adapted version of the QQ and QF scale was valid and suitable for use in Turkey.

Background: The present study was aimed at determining hypertensive patients’ adherence to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment methods and factors affecting their adherence. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 418 patients aged 18 and over who met the inclusion criteria. Adherence to pharmacological and some non-pharmacological treatment methods is the dependent variable of the study. Data were collected using the personal information form, Morisky medication adherence scale. In the analysis, descriptive statistics, the chi square test, and logistic regression analysis were used. The significance level was accepted as p<0.05. Results: The rate of adherence to the pharmacological treatment was 78.2%. The rates of adherence to smoking cessation, diet and physical activity were 49.0%, 55.7% and 20.6% respectively. Age, employment status and perceived health status were associated with the adherence to smoking cessation; perceived income, resort to complementary alternative treatment methods and having regular controls (check-ups) were related to the adherence to the diet, and gender and perceived economic status were related to the adherence to physical activities (p<0.05). Conclusions: While approximately four out of five patients complied with the pharmacological treatment, rates of adherence to non-pharmacological treatment methods were low. Multidisciplinary intervention programs should be planned in order to regularly monitor patients at family health centers, to assess their adherence to treatment modalities and to promote adherence.

Objective: To examine the relationship between perceived stress/digital literacy and student satisfaction in health science college students in the distance education process. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting data from 842 students. The dependent variable was student satisfaction in distance education. For the analyses, t-test, ANOVA (post hoc: Bonferroni), and linear regression methods were used. Results: Distance education student satisfaction was 178.21 ± 48.64. Student satisfaction was low among those who think that distance education is not more effective than face-to-face education, live in villages/towns, and have high perceived stress. Student satisfaction was high among those who do not have limited internet access, can access the internet via computer, follow the lessons regularly every week, think distance education is applicable in the health domain, can acquire instant feedback from the instructor, and have increased digital literacy. Conclusion: Distance education student satisfaction was found to be moderate. Student satisfaction in distance education increases as perceived stress levels decrease and digital literacy levels increase.
