Article Koroner Arter Bypass Greft Ameliyatı Geçiren Hastaların Taburculuk Sonrası Tele-Sağlık İzlemi ile Öz Etkililik ve Memnuniyet Durumunun Değerlendirilmesi(2024) Dığrak, Ebru; Ogce, Filiz; Savsar, Adile; Aygüler, MügeAmaç: Bu çalışma koroner arter bypass ameliyatı (KABG) geçiren hastaların taburculuk sonrası tele-sağlık izlemi ile öz etkililik ve memnuniyet durumunun değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte yapılan bu araştırmanın örneklemini bir üniversite hastanesinin kalp ve damar cerrahisi kliniğinde Temmuz 2022-Nisan 2023 tarihleri arasında KABG ameliyatı geçiren 102 hasta oluşturdu. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu, 15. gün ve 30. gün hasta kontrol formu ile Barnason Etkililik Beklenti Ölçeği (BEBÖ)’nin Kardiyak Cerrahi Versiyonu kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 63,97 ± 9,75 ve %75,7’si erkekti. Hastaların %95,1’inin yanında bakmakla yükümlü olduğu bir kişi olduğu, %96,1’inin ziyaretçi kısıtlaması yaptığı, %85,4’ü diyet önerilerine uyduğu, %85,4’ü iç ve dış mekan yürüyüşleri yaptığı, %97,1’i evde ilaçlarını uygun şekilde aldığı, %99’unun dikişleri belirtilen zamanda aldırdığı ve tamamının tele-sağlık hizmeti tarafından sağlanan aramalardan memnun olduğu bulundu. Hastalarda KABG ameliyatı sonrası sırt üstü uyuma, göğüs korsesini kullanma, yataktan kalmadan önce varis çorabını giyme ve triflo topunu kullanımı 15. günden 30. güne geldiğinde anlamlı olarak azaldığı bulundu (P < 0,05). Çalışmaya alınan hastaların öz etkililik düzeylerinin orta düzeyde olduğu ve hastaların tamamının tele sağlık hizmeti ile aranmaktan memnun olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Elde edilen veriler sonucunda KABG ameliyatı geçiren hastaların taburculuk sonrası öz etkililiğin yetersiz olduğu ve tele-sağlık ile izlemden memnun oldukları tespit edildi. Bu nedenle hemşirelerin taburculuk sonrası tele sağlık izlem sayısının artırılarak, hastaların öz etkililiklerini geliştiren bilgilere ağırlık verilmesi önerilebilir.Article The Mediating Role of Psychological Well-Being in the Effect of Dating Violence Attitude on Self-Efficacy in University Students(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2024) Digrak, Ebru; Akkoc, Irfan; Turk, Ceren; Cetin, Rukiye Nisa; Ozdogan, MelekPurposeThe objective of this study was to examine the potential mediating role of psychological well-being in the relationship between dating violence attitude and self-efficacy among university students.MethodsThis study was conducted with university students between March and June 2023. A total of 400 university students completed a cross-sectional survey. Participants completed measures, including the Dating Violence Attitude Scale, the Psychological Well-being Scale and the Self-Efficacy Scale. Following preliminary analyses, a mediation model was analyzed using the AMOS program and the PROCESS macro for SPSS, with the bootstrap method applied.ResultsSelf-efficacy was positively related to psychological well-being. Psychological well-being mediated the effect of physical and general violence on self-efficacy. No relationship was found between emotional, economic, and sexual violence and either psychological well-being or self-efficacy. In other words, the effect of dating violence attitude on self-efficacy was partially explained by the positive effect of psychological well-being.ConclusionsDating violence attitude among university students positively affect their psychological well-being, which in turn increases their sense of self-efficacy. It is critical to address the psychological implications of these attitudes to restore and improve individual's belief in their ability to handle challenges and achieve their goals. Promoting psychological well-being could serve as a pathway to rebuilding self-efficacy among university students who experience negative dating violence attitude.Article The mediating role of COVID-19 anxiety on the relationship between quality of life and spiritual well-being, and hopelessness: A study on cancer patients(Cambridge University Press, 2024) Dığrak, Ebru; Akkoç, I.Objectives.

This study investigates how direct and witnessed violence affect psychological capital through the mediating role of future violence.MethodsA cross-sectional descriptive and correlational research design was employed in this study. Data were collected from health institutions in western T & uuml;rkiye, with a total of 420 doctors and nurses participating in this study. The data collection instruments included Personal Information Form, Exposure to Violence Scale, Fear of Future Violence Scale and Organizational Psychological Capital Scale. The analyze the data, regression techniques were employed to examine the direct effects of violence on psychological capital, as well as to explore the mediating role of future fear of violence in these relationships.ResultsThe analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between direct and witnessed workplace violence; however, future fear of violence did not significantly correlate with either. While future fear of violence was weakly but significantly associated with optimism and self-efficacy, it showed no significant relationship with resilience or hope. Direct violence showed no meaningful correlation with any psychological capital subdimension. Witnessed violence was negatively associated only with optimism. Furthermore, no mediating role of future fear of violence was found between workplace violence and psychological capital.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates limited effects of direct and witnessed workplace violence on the subdimensions of psychological capital. Future fear of violence was not found to significantly mediate the relationship between experiences of violence and psychological capital. These results suggest a more complex dynamic between workplace violence and employees' psychological capital, highlighting the need for further detailed research in this area.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3The Complex Dynamics of Violence and Burnout in Healthcare: A Closer Look at Physicians and Nurses(Wiley, 2025) Cakir, Orhan; Akkoc, Irfan; Arun, Korhan; Digrak, Ebru; Unlueroglugil, Hasibe Serap UluirmakAims and objectives This study aims to examine the mediating role of fear of future violence in the relationship between exposure to violent events at work and burnout among physicians and nurses.Background Workplace violence is an escalating concern within healthcare institutions in T & uuml;rkiye. Increasing exposure to violent events among healthcare professionals contributes to heightened fear of future violence, which may in turn exacerbate burnout.Methods A cross-sectional research design was utilized, collecting data via an online survey distributed to 387 physicians and nurses. The hypothesized model was analyzed using structural equation modeling techniques implemented in AMOS and SmartPLS software.Results The analysis revealed that exposure to workplace violence significantly elevated the depersonalization and emotional exhaustion dimensions of burnout. Conversely, it was associated with a paradoxical decrease in the personal accomplishment dimension. Notably, no statistically significant relationship was found between exposure to violence and fear of future violence. These findings underscore the complex interplay between various burnout dimensions and the impact of workplace violence on physicians and nurses.Discussion and conclusion Workplace violence emerges as a significant contributor to burnout among physicians and nurses, affecting emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment in multifaceted ways. However, the anticipated relationship between exposure to violence and fear of future violence was not supported by the data, indicating a need for further research in this area.Implications for nursing policy The findings of this study indicate that health policies in T & uuml;rkiye should prioritize strategies aimed at preventing and managing violence against physicians and nurses. Measures such as violence management training, strengthening organizational support systems, and implementing clear protocols for reporting and responding to violent incidents can help mitigate burnout among physicians and nurses.Article Öğretmenlerin Bakış Açısıyla Okul Sağlığı Hemşireliği Uygulamasının Değerlendirilmesi(2022) Öztürk, Aslıhan; Zengin, Hümeyra; Dığrak, Ebru; Tezel, AyferAmaç: İlköğretim okullarında uygulanan okul sağlığı hemşireliği uygulamaları hakkında öğretmenlerin bilgilerini ve görüşlerini de- ğerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikte yapılan çalışma Ankara ilinde olan üç ilköğretim okulunda araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 63 öğretmen- le yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın yapıldığı okullarda Mart-Nisan-Ma- yıs 2017 tarihleri arasında öğrencilere okul sağlığı hemşireliği kapsamında uygulamalar yapılmış ve uygulamalar bittikten sonra öğretmenlere anket yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri 35 sorudan oluşan anket formu ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğretmenlerin çoğu okul sağlığı hemşiresinin sağlık tara- maları yapması (%100), sağlık eğitimleri düzenlemesi (%90,5), risk altındaki çocukları belirlemesi (%85,7), aileler ile işbirliği içinde sağlığı koruma ve geliştirme planlamaları (%84,1) gibi görevlerini bilirken, okul personelinin sağlık durumu ile ilgilenmesi (%28,6), okul çevresi düzenlemesi yapması (%20,6) gibi görevleri çok azı bilmektedir. Sonuç: Öğretmenlerin okul sağlığı hemşireliği görevleri ile ilgili bilgi durumlarının yetersiz olduğu belirlenmiş ve okulda okul sağ- lığı hemşiresine gereksinim olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Bu nedenle okul sağlığı ekibinin oluşturulması için hemşire istihdam edilmesi ile ilgili gerekli düzenlemelerin yapılması önerilmektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2The Mediating Role of Psychological Well-Being in the Association Between Intolerance of Uncertainty and Academic Life Satisfaction Among University Students(Springer, 2025) Akkoc, Irfan; Digrak, Ebru; Yavan, Tulay; OGCE AKTAS, FilizThe aim of this study is to investigate the mediating role of psychological well-being in the association between intolerance of uncertainty and academic life satisfaction among university students. A cross-sectional design was employed in the research, which was conducted with 443 students attending a university in western country using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected through Personal Information Form, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, Academic Life Satisfaction Scale, and Psychological Well-Being Scale. Analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling and mediation analysis. The participants were comprised of 55.5% females, with an average age of 21.31 +/- 1.91 years. The results indicate that psychological well-being significantly mediates the relationship between inhibitory anxiety and both dimensions of academic life satisfaction. However, psychological well-being did not mediate the relationship between prospective anxiety and academic life satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of different types of anxiety in academic life and emphasize the necessity of promoting psychological well-being to enhance students' academic life satisfaction. The study suggests that supporting university students' psychological well-being could be an important strategy related to uncertainty intolerance and academic life satisfaction.Article Knowledge, Attitudes, and Opinions of Hepatitis B Virus Carrier Male Patients About the Disease(Doc Design Informatics Co Ltd, 2022) Digrak, Ebru; Tezel, AyferObjectives: The study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and opinions of male patients infected with the hepatitis B virus about their disease.

Conclusions: According to the study's results, we determined that the patients' knowledge and attitudes about their diseases were insufficient.Article The Dark Side of Self-Efficacy in University Students' Digital Behavior: The Relationship Between Nomophobia and Cyberloafing(Springer Heidelberg, 2025) Akkoc, Irfan; Digrak, EbruAimThis study aims to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between nomophobia and cyberloafing among university students. It seeks to understand whether nomophobia influences cyberloafing behavior and the role self-efficacy plays in this relationship.Subject and methodsA cross-sectional research design was employed to analyze the proposed relationships. The study was conducted with a sample size of 520 students from a private university. Data were collected using the Nomophobia Scale, Cyberloafing Scale, and Self-Efficacy Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis and mediation analysis were performed using the Hayes Bootstrap method to test the hypotheses.ResultsThe findings indicate that all dimensions of nomophobia are positively correlated with cyberloafing for social, academic, and gaming purposes. Additionally, self-efficacy was found to mediate the relationship between nomophobia and cyberloafing, exerting a significant positive effect on this behaviour.ConclusionThese results suggest that while nomophobia directly increases cyberloafing, self-efficacy plays a crucial role in shaping this behavior. University administrators should organize awareness programs to strengthen coping mechanisms for dealing with nomophobia among students. Additionally, educational activities can be implemented to help students develop healthy digital habits in order to prevent cyberloafing behaviors.
