    (Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2021) Turan, Gulcan Bahcecioglu; Aksoy, Meyreme; Ozer, Zulfunaz
    Aim: This study was performed to analyze the attitudes of individuals in eastern Turkey toward epilepsy and the factors associated with these attitudes. Methods: Designed as a cross-sectional descriptive study, this study was performed from January 28 to February 8, 2021. A snowball sampling technique was used to select the study sample, and a survey was sent online to individuals aged 18 or above. A total of 617 individuals who filled in this online survey form were included in this research. Data were collected via a personal information form and the Public Attitudes Toward Epilepsy (PATE) scale. Results: The results showed that the mean scores of the participants on the PATE scale, on its general domain, and on its personal domain were 1.79 +/- 0.63, 1.70 +/- 0.63, and 1.96 +/- 0.77, respectively. Comparing the participants' mean PATE scale scores on the basis of their descriptive characteristics revealed statistically significant differences in the mean scores on the scale and its two domains in terms of age, place of residence, educational level, knowing anyone who had epilepsy or experienced epileptic seizures, and witnessing a person having an epileptic seizure (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Individuals living in eastern Turkey have positive attitudes toward epilepsy. Moreover, it was found that, among all the participants, those who were relatively young, those who lived in a provincial center, those who had a relatively high educational level, those who knew an individual with epilepsy, and those who had witnessed an epileptic seizure have more positive attitudes toward epilepsy than their counterparts. Implications: It is recommended to design educational programs focusing on raising the level of public awareness and knowledge regarding epilepsy. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    The Effect of Spiritual Well-Being on Self-care Agency in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients in Turkey: The Mediating Role of Psychological Resilience
    (Springer, 2024) Ozturk, Zeynep; Turan, Gulcan Bahcecioglu; Aksoy, Meyreme
    The aim of the present study was to determine the mediator role of psychological resilience in examining the effect of spiritual well-being on self-care agency in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients (COPD). The present cross-sectional and correlational study has a descriptive design, and it was conducted with 200 COPD patients admitted to the chest diseases outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT Sp-12), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and Self-Care Agency Scale (SCAS) were used in the study for collecting the research data. STROBE recommendations were followed while reporting this study. FACIT Sp-12 total score average, the BRS total average score and the ASAS total average score of the patients were found to be 29.88 +/- 1.44, 21.47 +/- 66.31, and 84.81 +/- 14.69, respectively. In addition, it was determined that both spiritual well-being (beta = 0.170) and psychological resilience (beta = 0.777) positively affected self-care agency. SCAS mediates the effect of FACIT-Sp-12 on self-care agency and strengthens the positive effect of FACIT-Sp-12 on self-care agency (beta = 0.843). It was seen that the predictive effect of these two variables in explaining self-care power was 60%. Spiritual well-being and self-care agency of the COPD patients were found to be moderate, and the psychological resilience was found to be high. In addition, spiritual well-being was found to affect self-care agency directly and the mediating role of psychological resilience indirectly.

This cross-sectional and relational study was carried out with snowball sampling technique between May 15 and June 15, 2021. It was found that the participants had a mean Death Anxiety Scale total score of 10.42 +/- 2.77, they had a mean positive religious coping sub-scale score of 23.44 +/- 2.66 and a mean negative religious coping sub-scale score of 12.82 +/- 3.08. Statistically significant positive association was found between Death Anxiety Scale and Religious Coping Questionnaire's both positive and negative coping sub-scale scores (p < .05). It was found that patients diagnosed with COVID-19 had high level of death anxiety and positive religious coping styles. It was also found that death anxiety levels increased in the patients as their use of positive and negative coping increased.
