Purpose This study aims to determine the relationship between psychological resilience, burnout, stress, and sociodemographic factors with depression in nurses and midwives during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Design and Method This cross‐sectional study included 377 midwives and nurses. Results The prevalence of depression in midwives and nurses in our sample was 31.8%. In the logistic regression analysis, the risk of depression in midwives was 1.92 times higher than that of nurses. A high perceived stress score increased the risk of depression by 1.16 times, and a high emotional exhaustion score increased the risk of depression by 1.11 times. A high psychological resilience score was found to be protective against depression (<0.001). Practice Implications The results showed that one‐third of midwives and nurses had symptoms of depression.

The purpose of the study is to investigate knowledge, attitudes and behaviours concerning cervical cancer, HPV and HPV vaccine of female students studying at a university in a health related department and explore variables affecting taking the vaccine. The research group consists of female students attending a health related department in Balıkesir University. The data of this cross-sectional research was collected via surveys. The average total knowledge score of the students concerning risks, symptoms and screening methods of cervical cancer and HPV vaccines was 14.15 ± 6.7. The HPV knowledge score of the students attending the faculty of medicine was higher compared to the students attending other departments and their HPV vaccine knowledge score was higher compared to the students attending nursing and paramedics students. The HPV vaccine knowledge score of the students attending the department of midwifery was significantly higher compared to other students. Only 0.9 % of the students took the vaccine. One third of the students who did not take the vaccine did not know that the vaccine was available in our country. In terms of the department that they attended, the students with a higher total knowledge score compared to the average (OR:1.5) and students with history of cancer in their families (OR:1.6) were more likely to consider taking the vaccine. Research group’s knowledge on risk factors of cervical cancer, Pap smear test, symptoms and prevention ways of cancer, HPV and HPV vaccine was low.

Aim: This study aims to determine the prevalence and associated factors of vaccine hesitancy in females with children aged 12 months to 6 years who receive service from the antenatal class of a tertiary hospital in Turkey. Method: The study group includes 370 parents receiving service from a tertiary hospital. The data collection tools of the study were a descriptive data form and the Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccines survey.The data were analyzed using chi-square analysis and logistic regression analysis. Results: In our study, the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy was determined as 13.8% and vaccine refusal prevalence as 4.8%. In univariate analysis, vaccine hesitancy was found to be significantly higher in mothers with a university education, who got pregnant with treatment, who were not trained about pediatric vaccines in the antenatal follow-up, who followed anti-vaccine groups on social media, and who did not use vitamin D and iron supplements regularly or never used for their child. Vaccine hesitancy was significantly higher in parents who stated that their information sources of vaccines were not scientific, who were worried about vaccine ingredients (aluminum, mercury, pig gelatine) and who used alternative medicine practices (p < .05). In multivariate analysis, the risk of vaccine hesitancy increases 3.05 times in pregnancies with treatment, 3.74 times in those who did not use vitamin D or iron preparations, 3.01 times in those who followed anti-vaccine groups on social media,2.93 times in parents who were worried about the vaccine ingredients. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy and risk factors should be monitored closely in the following years.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between predictive factors of secondary traumatic stress (STS), that is, sociodemographic and work characteristics, and the psychological resilience of healthcare professionals working in different regions of Turkey. This cross‐sectional study included 1416 healthcare workers (HCWs). An independent sample t‐test and hierarchical regression analysis were performed to analyse the data. The predictor variables for STS included perception of health, fear of contagion, anxiety about infecting family members, psychological resilience, type of work, having a COVID‐19 diagnosis in the family, and experiencing a loss due to COVID‐19 (p < 0.05). The variables that predicted psychological resilience included socioeconomic status, health status, age, marital status, work experience, and type of work (p < 0.05). A low number of resilient HCWs experienced secondary traumatic stress.
