- ItemAn examination of the psychological resilience of preschool children with and without Montessori education(Wiley, 2024-08) Sezgin, Elif; Şener, Tülay; 157389This study aims to compare the psychological resilience of children who receive Montessori education with those who do not receive Montessori education(the group attends a school where education is provided according to the Preschool Education Programme of the Ministry of National Education). The study used the Relational Scanning Model Comparison Types to compare the psychological resilience of children who received Montessori education with those who did not. The research involved 99 children aged 3–6 years who received regular preschool and Montessori education during the 2021–2022 academic year. It is reported that no developmental or neurological defects were observed in any of the participants. The study group comprised 50 children aged 3–6 years from a private kindergarten affiliated with National Education in Nilüfer district and 49 children aged 3–6 years from a private Montessori kindergarten in Nilüfer district. According to the study, children who received Montessori education demonstrated comparatively higher levels of psychological resilience than those who did not receive Montessori education. It has been observed that there exists a weak but meaningful correlation between the psychological resilience of children and their social relationships/social performance, particularly in those who have received Montessori education for an extended duration. As a result, it can be inferred that Montessori education positively impacts children's psychological resilience.
- ItemEnvironmental impact of athletes’ diets greenhouse gas emissions, water footprint, and sustainability awareness(Springer, 2026-01) Acar, Selva; Tuna, Tuğba; Ersoy, Nesli; 336342This cross-sectional study evaluated the environmental impact of athletes’ dietary patterns by estimating greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and water footprint (WF). It also assessed knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to sustainable nutrition using a structured questionnaire aligned with the FAO definition of sustainable diets. Conducted between January and August 2023 in Ankara, the study included 100 elite athletes (mean age: 21.0 ± 3.3 years; 65% female) from various sports disciplines. Dietary intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and GHGE and WF values were calculated based on life cycle assessment data. The mean GHGE and WF values of athletes’ diets were 3017.1 ± 1877.4 g CO₂-eq/day and 5.4 ± 3.2 mL/g, respectively. Male athletes and strength/power athletes exhibited significantly higher dietary environmental impacts than female and team sports athletes (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively). Red meat and animal protein consumption were strongly associated with higher GHGE and WF values (p < 0.001). Despite the increasing importance of sustainability, more than 90% of participants lacked accurate knowledge of sustainable nutrition. Moreover, a discrepancy was observed between athletes’ stated willingness to support environmental values and their actual food choices, indicating an intention–behavior gap. This study contributes to the limited literature by quantifying the environmental impact of athletes’ diets while concurrently examining sustainability-related behavioral factors. The findings underscore the importance of integrating sustainability principles into sports nutrition planning and education to reduce environmental impacts while maintaining performance goals.
- ItemHope and psychological resilience in primary caregivers of patients with a chronic mental illness followed in a community mental health center(Elsevier, 2024-03) Erkuş, Şeyma; Babacan Gümüş, Aysun; 372023Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine hope and psychological resilience in primary caregivers of patients with a chronic mental illness. Design and methods: The descriptive study was conducted on 297 caregivers in community mental health centers in Turkey. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Dispositional Hope Scale and the Resilience Scale for Adults. Findings: Hope and psychological resilience of primary caregivers of patients with a chronic mental illness were moderate. To sociodemographic and caregiver characteristics; caregivers who are over 40 years old, lost his/her spouse, low education level, housewife or retired, unemployed, who evaluated their incomes low, mother, living in the same house with the patient, caring for ten years or more, caring for another patient and not getting help in care had lower hope and resilience levels. Compared to patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, caregivers of patients with schizophrenia had lower hope and psychological resilience levels. Conclusions: Primary caregivers of patients with a chronic mental illness should be supported in terms of hope and psychological resilience.
- ItemPatients' Expectations and Satisfaction Regarding to the Protection of Their Individual Dignity After Surgery: A Cross-Sectional Study(Wiley, 2025-05) Güneş, Ayşegül; Eren, Esra; Tekin, Yasemin Eda; 292320This study aimed to determine patients' expectations and satisfaction regarding protecting their dignity after surgery. This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 385 patients between December 2024 and February 2025. Research data was collected using the "Inpatient Dignity Scale" and socio-demographic information form. It was determined that the patient's dignity scale expectation and satisfaction total scores were 72.85 +/- 4.509 and 85.03 +/- 8.011. Accordingly, the expectation scores of the young, those with higher education levels, those whose income is lower than their expenses, those who have had surgery before, those who can perform activities of daily living those who can do it with assistance, those who can connect the head and neck are significantly stronger (p < 0.05). The satisfaction scores of the married, those with the highest and lowest education levels, those whose income is lower than their expenses, those who have had a longer hospital stay after surgery, and those who have had head and neck surgery are higher (p < 0.05). New studies should be conducted in surgical units where nursing activities to protect patient dignity are planned, and their results are evaluated.
- ItemThe effects of two different cold application times on edema, ecchymosis, and pain after rhinoplasty: a randomized clinical trial(Elsevier, 2024-01) Tekin, Yasemin Eda; İyigün, Emine; Karakoç, Ömer; 292320Purpose: This study was performed to determine the effects of different cold application times to the periorbital area after rhinoplasty on edema, ecchymosis, and pain. Design: A randomized clinical study. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups, and cold application was applied to one group for 4 hours and to the other for 48 hours. The cold application was applied with ice packs for 20 minutes every hour to the periorbital region in both groups. Data were collected with the Patient Information Form, Scoring Diagram for Edema, the Scoring Diagram for Ecchymosis, and the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain. Findings: Periorbital edema, eyelid ecchymosis, and pain were not significantly different between the two groups. The mean edema score of the 48-hour group was 0.87 ± 0.93, while the mean edema score of the 4-hour group was 0.70 ± 0.87 (P = .48) on the 2nd day. The mean ecchymosis score was found as 2.03 ± 1.12 in the 48-hour group and 2.10 ± 1.09 in the 4-hour group (P = .817). The mean pain score was 12.50 ± 17.40 in the 48-hour group and 13.00 ± 16.00 in the 4-hour group (P = .98). Conclusions: The effects of 48-hour and 4-hour cold applications are similar. Cold application for 4 hours may be recommended to patients who undergo rhinoplasty, as it is more practical and easier to apply than the 48-hour practice.
- ItemThe Relationship Between Climate Change Awareness, Sustainable Nutrition Behaviours and Acceptability of Alternative Protein Sources in Generation Z: A Cross-Sectional Study(Wiley, 2026-01) Tuna, Tuğba; Batu, Zehra; 336342This study investigates the relationship between climate change awareness, sustainable nutrition behaviours, and the acceptability of alternative protein sources among Generation Z university students. This cross-sectional study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining structured quantitative measures and open-ended qualitative questions in a digital survey. A total of 785 university students aged 18–29 from Türkiye participated in the study. The survey included the Behavioural Scale for Sustainable Nutrition, the Global Climate Change Awareness Scale, and the Attitudes Toward Alternative Protein Sources Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, post hoc Tukey HSD tests, and correlation analyses (Pearson/Spearman) were conducted to examine the associations between climate change awareness, sustainable nutrition behaviours, and the acceptability of alternative protein sources, including edible mushrooms, algae, flowers, grasshoppers, crickets, and cultured meat. A statistically significant but moderate positive relationship was observed between climate change awareness and sustainable nutrition behaviours, particularly in food purchasing habits. A weaker but positive association was found for food preference, food waste reduction, and seasonal and local dietary practices. Participants reported low familiarity with alternative protein sources, with the highest acceptability for edible mushrooms (74.5%), followed by edible flowers (37.8%) and cultured meat (14.4%). While greater climate change awareness was linked to a higher willingness to consume certain alternative protein sources, this did not consistently translate into broader acceptance. These findings highlight the need for targeted awareness campaigns and educational initiatives to overcome cultural barriers and food neophobia, fostering a greater acceptance of sustainable protein sources.
