Yönetimde yeni bir kavram olarak nöroyönetim: deneysel çalışmaların sistematik olarak incelenmesi
(Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2024) Uğuz Arsu, Şerife
Çalışmanın amacı, yeni bir alan olarak ortaya çıkan ve deneysel verileri literatüre kazandıran nöroyönetimin, yönetim bilimleri içinde gelişme potansiyeline katkı sağlamak adına mevcut yönetim literatüründeki nörobilim çalışmalarının ve deneysel prosedürlerinin incelenmesidir. “Scopus”, “PubMed”, “Emerald”, “Springer” ve “Web of Science” veri tabanları aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilen literatür taraması sonrası makaleler MENDELEY referans yönetim sisteminde ayıklanmıştır. Mevcut çalışma, raporlamadaki Sistematik İnceleme ve Meta-analizler (PRISMA) için Tercih Edilen Raporlama Öğeleri altında yapılarak, katılım ve çıkarım kriterlerine uyan ve tam metnine veya genişletilmiş özetine ulaşılabilen 17 deneysel çalışma ile inceleme tamamlanmıştır. Sonuçlara göre, Nöro yönetim alanında yapılan deneysel çalışmaların daha çok “Motivasyon”, “Liderlik”, “İş Değerlendirmesi/Performans”, “Stres” ve “Ahlak” gibi örgütsel ve davranışsal konularla ilgili olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışmalarda özellikle farklı liderlik tarzlarıyla ilgili yapılan nörolojik ölçümler (EEG, Deri İletkenlik Tepkisi, SCR ve Kalp Atış Hızı) kullanılmıştır. Ülkemizde ise, yönetim alanında, araştırmaya dahil edilen yıllar arasında yapılmış olan sistematik, tanımlayıcı ve biyometrik çalışmalara rastlanılmakla birlikte henüz deneysel bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Yönetim alanında ampirik veri elde etme konusundaki boşluk göz önüne alınarak, incelenen deneysel prosedürler ile deneysel çalışma tasarlama konusunda araştırmacılara farklı bir bakış açısı kazandırılarak gelecekte yapılacak deneysel çalışmalara teşvik edilmesinin yönetim literatürünü zenginleştireceği düşünülmektedir.
The Effect of an Emotion Recognition and Expression Program on the Alexithymia, Emotion Expression Skills and Positive and Negative Symptoms of Patients with Schizophrenia in a Community Mental Health Center
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Aydın, Adeviye; Ersoy Özcan, Berna; Kaya, Yunus
This study aimed to examine the effect of an emotion recognition and expression program (EREP) on the alexithymia, emotion expression skills and positive and negative symptoms of patients with schizophrenia. The study had a non-randomized, quasi-experimental design including a pretest, post-test, and follow-up test. It was conducted with 36 patients with schizophrenia (n = 18 intervention group, n = 18 control group) who regularly visited a Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) in Türkiye and participated voluntarily. The EREP was applied to the intervention group for eight weeks. "Personal Information Form", "Emotion Expression Scale (EES)", "Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS)", and "Positive Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)" were applied to all participants in the pretest, post-test, and follow-up test. The follow-up test was applied one month after the end of the sessions. Number, percentage, chi-square test, and repeated measures analysis of variance were used for data evaluation. In the total alexithymia score, there was a significant difference in the group interaction by time in the intervention group compared to the control group. In terms of total alexithymia score, the post-test and follow-up test mean scores of the intervention group were lower than the control group (p < 0.05; ?2 = 0.122). There was a significant time*group interaction in the positive emotion subscale of the EES (p < 0.05; ?2 = 0.121). The findings of our study indicated that the EREP had a positive effect on the alexithymia scores of patients with schizophrenia. We found that the EREP used in our study contributed to the reduction of alexithymia levels in patients with schizophrenia.
“You Are in the Middle of a Road, a Road With No End”: Experiences of Women Who Underwent Medical Termination of Their Pregnancies A Phenomenologıcal Study
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2024) Akın Işık, Rabiye; İş, Mine; Kaya, Yunus
This article focused on the experiences of women who underwent medical termination of their pregnancies. The study adopted a qualitative phenomenological research design with a sample of 20 pregnant women. Data were collected between April and June 2022 using a personal information form and a semistructured individual interview. The qualitative data were analyzed into 4 categories: “psychosocial impacts,” “impacts on functionality,” “coping,” and “expectations.” These categories comprised 8 themes and 24 subthemes. Nurses play a crucial role in adopting family-centered approaches to offer holistic care. They should prioritize providing physical care throughout the medical termination, while also assessing the psychological impact of fetal loss. Perinatal palliative care and bereavement counseling should be integrated into care practices.
Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Help Associated to Self-Stigma and Perceived Social Stigma
(Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, 2023) Özdemir, Özcan; Kaya, Yunus; Adagide, Simla
Nursing students often experience stress due to their educational demands and developmental stage. This study focuses on nursing students to investigate the relationship between their attitudes toward seeking psychological help and their levels of perceived self-stigma and social stigma. Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study, in which 791 nursing students participated through convenience sampling between April and May 2022. Data were collected using the Attitude Towards Seeking Psychological Help Scale-R (ASPH-R), the Stigma Scale for Receiving Psychological Help (SSRPH), and the Self-Stigma of Seeking Help (SSOSH). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The article adheres to the STROBE checklist in its organization and presentation. Results: Positive attitudes towards seeking psychological help were negatively correlated with self-stigma (r = -0.39, P < 0.01) and social stigma perceptions (r = -0.17, P < 0.01), while negative attitudes were positively correlated with self-stigma (r = 0.50, P < 0.01) and social stigma (r = 0.47, P < 0.01). Variables of sex, age, self-stigma, and social stigma significantly contributed to explaining attitudes towards seeking psychological help. Conclusion: Social stigma and particularly self-stigma significantly influence nursing students' attitudes towards seeking psychological help. Therefore, it is recommended that authorities develop psychoeducational interventions aimed at enhancing nursing students' mental health awareness and reducing self-stigma.
A Qualitative Analysis on the Experiences of Mothers of Children in Burn Intensive Care Unit: "She burned on the outside, me inside..."
(Oxford University Press, 2024) Karahan, Sabri; Kaatsız, Melike Ayca Ay; Erbaş, Atiye; Kaya, Yunus
Mothers closely follow the complex process due to the burning of their children. Caring for and supporting the child can pose various challenges for mothers. With the phenomenological method, this study was conducted to investigate mothers' experiences staying with their children in the pediatric burn intensive care unit. Twelve mothers participated in the study. The semistructured face-to-face interviews obtained data. After each interview, the research team transcribed the interviews verbatim. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyze the data. The experiences of the mothers were classified in four contexts as a result of the interpretative phenomenological analysis; "first reactions to burn trauma" related to the awareness that the child has been burned, "being a mother in the burn intensive care unit" related to caring for the child as a companion in the burn intensive care unit, "coping" related to how they cope with the problems throughout the whole process, and "requirements" regarding the subjects it needs in the process. It was determined that mothers went through a physically and emotionally challenging process from the beginning of the burn trauma and throughout the intensive care unit. During this challenging process, it was observed that mothers could not use effective coping methods and did not receive the necessary professional support. In line with these results, it is recommended that psychological support programs be applied to the mothers and that care focused on the needs of the mothers should be provided.
Experiences of the Male Caregivers of Schizophrenic Patients: A Phenomenological Study
(ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry and Mental Health, 2023) Seki Öz, Hilal; Kaya, Yunus; Taktak, Şafak
Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to determine the experiences of male caregivers of people with schizophrenia. Methods: The study had a phenomenological design as a qualitative research method. Using the purposeful sampling method, 19 male caregivers were included in the study. In-depth interviews were conducted with participants using a semi-structured interview form. Results: In the thematic analysis, three categories were identified: "The effect of the disorder on male caregivers", "male caregivers' perceptions about the disorder", and "coping patterns of male caregivers". In addition, three themes and 15 sub-themes were determined. Conclusion: The study has revealed that male caregivers of schizophrenic patients face many problems in their emotional, social, economic, family and work lives; they need support and information in coping with these problems; and they tend to receive institutional and social support and use spiritual coping strategies in their caregiving.
The effect of holistic nursing competence on work engagement, self-reflection and insight in nurses
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2023) Aydın, Adeviye; Kaya, Yunus; Erbaş, Atiye
This study aimed to examine the effects of holistic nursing competence on work engagement, self-reflection and insight in nurses. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 309 nurses working in Turkey. Data were collected using the “Descriptive Information Form”, “Holistic Nursing Competence Scale (HNCS)”, “Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES)”, and “Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS)”. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. We found that the HNCS had a moderate positive relationship (r = 0.411, p < 0.05) with the UWES, and a weak positive relationship (r = 0.324, p < 0.05) with the SRIS. In the model established by multiple regression analysis, the effect of the HNCS, age, marital status, position, and performing the profession willingly on work engagement explained 33.7% of the variance. In another established model, the effect of the HNCS, gender, and having children on self-reflection and insight explained 11.5% of the variance. Our findings revealed the effect of holistic competence on nurses’ positive attitudes about their work engagement and self-reflection in practice. We recommended developing awareness-based programs for nurses to increase their holistic nursing competence.

(Churchill Livingstone, 2022) Kuru Alıcı, Nilgün; Kaya, Yunus
In order to provide culturally appropriate care, nursing students' intercultural communication anxiety, ethnocentrism and attitudes towards refugees should be examined. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship among ethnocentrism and attitudes towards refugees in nursing students and to determine whether intercultural communication apprehension could mediate the relationship between ethnocentrism and attitude towards asylum-seekers. Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive design. Participants: 226 nursing students in Turkey. Methods: Data were collected using ethnocentrism, intercultural communication apprehension, and attitudes towards asylum-seekers scales and analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient and Baron and Kenny's three-regression analysis and Sobel test. Results: Ethnocentrism was positively associated with both intercultural communication apprehension and attitudes towards asylum-seekers scale. Intercultural communication apprehension was positively associated with attitudes towards asylum-seekers scale. Intercultural communication apprehension mediated the relationship between ethnocentrism and attitudes towards asylum-seekers (Z = 4.0497, p < 0.001). Conclusion: In line with these results, intercultural communication apprehension was a crucial mediator between ethnocentrism and attitudes towards asylum-seekers. Interventions to improve intercultural communication apprehension of nursing students should include nursing students' ethnocentrism and attitude towards refugees.

The relationships among perceived stress, conflict resolution styles, spousal support and marital satisfaction during the COVID-19 quarantine
(Springer, 2022) Akın Işık, Rabiye; Kaya, Yunus
This study investigated the relationships among perceived stress, conflict resolution styles, spousal support and marital satisfaction of heterosexual married couples during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine. This was a descriptive study that employed a correlational survey model. The sample consisted of 511 Turkish married couples recruited using snowball sampling. Data were collected online using a demographic characteristic questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Conflict Resolution Styles Scale, the Spousal Support Scale, and the Marital Life Scale. The mean age of participants was 37.00 (SD = 7.88) years. The mean duration of marriage of participants was 11.15 (SD = 8.97) years. Higher marital satisfaction was associated with lower perceived stress, lower negative conflict resolution style, higher spousal support, and higher positive resolution styles. The Conflict Resolution Styles Scale and Spousal Support Scale scores explained 48.3% of the total variance of the Marital Life Scale, indicating that higher positive conflict resolution styles and higher spousal support were significantly associated with higher marital satisfaction. The COVID-19 quarantine has resulted in changes in marital life and family dynamics. Stress, negative conflict resolution style, and a lack of spousal support during the COVID-19 quarantine contribute to marital dissatisfaction.

The effect of ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity on intercultural sensitivity in nursing students, descriptive cross-sectional research study
(Churchill Livingstone, 2021) Kaya, Yunus; Arslan, Sevda; Erbaş, Atiye; Yaşar, Beril Nisa; Erkuş Küçükkelepçe, Gülhan
Background: Factors affecting intercultural sensitivity and care are becoming an increasingly important issue due to ethnic diversity. Nurses play a crucial role in care and therefore should keep up with this trend and improve their intercultural sensitivity. Objective and design: This descriptive cross-sectional study investigated the effects of ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity on intercultural sensitivity in nursing students. Methods and participants: Data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire and the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale, and Moral Sensitivity Scale. The sample consisted of 1343 nursing students. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine correlations between scale scores. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the effects of ethnocentrism, moral sensitivity, and demographic characteristics on intercultural sensitivity. Results: Intercultural sensitivity was found to be negatively correlated with ethnocentrism and positively correlated with moral sensitivity. Ethnocentrism predicted intercultural sensitivity more than moral sensitivity. Ethnocentrism and moral sensitivity explained 16.8% of the total variance of intercultural sensitivity. However, ethnocentrism affected intercultural sensitivity more than moral sensitivity did (beta = ?0.406). Conclusion: Nursing education should adopt strategies to reduce ethnocentrism by helping students develop cultural competence and intercultural sensitivity. Such education can equip nurses to provide higher quality care to patients of different cultural backgrounds.
"If only they forgot that I was Syrian and an Arab, I am a human beings too." Syrian university students' experiences of being a foreigner: A phenomenological study
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021) Kaya, Yunus
Migration is voluntary or forced relocation of individuals from a familiar physical, social, and cultural environment to an unfamiliar one. While migration is a challenging experience, traumatic experiences that happened before and after migrating may have numerous adverse effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate Syrian nursing students’ experiences of being a foreigner before and after migration and throughout their university lives. Phenomenology, which is a qualitative research design, was used in this study. The study was conducted with 16 Syrian university students’ in Turkey. Data was collected through semi-structured, face-to-face, in-depth interviews. Data was analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis, which yielded four main themes and 19 subthemes. The four themes were traumatic experiences that caused them to migrate, problems after migrating, being a foreigner at a Turkish university, and psychological issues. The results show that migration has numerous physical, social, cultural, and mental effects on human lives.
The mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in the relationship between attachment and mental health symptoms of university students
(Springer, 2021) Kaya, Yunus; Aydın, Adeviye
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of early maladaptive schemas on the relationship between attachment and mental health symptoms of university students. The study was conducted with 413 students studying in two different universities in Turkey. Data were collected using a Descriptive Information Form, Brief Symptom Inventory, Young Schema Questionnaire and Inventory of Parent Attachment. The obtained data were evaluated by constructing a structural equation model using the AMOS 23 V software. In the present study, it was found that insecure attachment to mothers and disconnection/rejection schema area exert a direct significant positive effect on depression and anxiety symptoms. The disconnection/rejection and impaired autonomy schema areas were observed to significantly and positively mediate insecure attachment to parents in explaining depression and anxiety symptoms. In line with these results, it was suggested that for individuals to establish trust-based relationships and maintain their mental health, replacing maladaptive schemas with realistic beliefs was important in terms of preventing mental illnesses from occurring, as the replacement of these schemas positively affected the mental well-being of university students.
