Abstract Purpose In this study was aimed to examine the relationship between smartphone addiction (SA) and meaning and purpose of life (MPL) of university students. Design and Methods A cross‐sectional study consisted of 677 students studying in students of Health Sciences. The data were collected by a questionnaire included the smartphone addiction scale‐short form and the meaning and purpose in life scale. Findings A significant and negative correlation was found between SA and the MPL levels. Practice Implacitions Individual coping programs with SA should be handle within the scope of school health nursing. Also these programs should include activities to help students find meaning and purpose in their lives.
The aim of this study was to examine Turkish consumer attitudes towards animal welfare in terms of cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions, using a bespoke Animal Welfare Attitude Scale (AWAS). An overall consumer attitude was also determined. The Delphi technique was used to establish an item pool to develop a questionnaire for the construction of the AWAS. This questionnaire was later used for data collection. A total of 2295 consumers were surveyed in 14 cities, in the 7 regions of Turkey. Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability analysis, Ward's hierarchical clustering method and One-way ANOVA were used to validate the questionnaire, and to analyze data. Results of the EFA allowed for allocation of 42 items collected under 3 dimensions (cognitive, affective and behavioral), that explained 72% of the total variance of the model. This factor structure was subsequently confirmed by a CFA performed on a different sample of 425 consumers. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for AWAS was calculated at 0.829. These results confirmed that the developed AWAS had a valid and reliable scale. The questionnaire showed that consumers' attitudes towards animal welfare were more negative at the behavioral dimension, than either at the cognitive or affective dimensions. Consumers in Turkey were ultimately divided into three groups according to their overall attitudes towards animal welfare as impassive, moderate or sensitive. One-third of Turkish consumers placed in the sensitive group, thus emphasizing a potential niche for animal-friendly food marketing in Turkey.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of probiotic supplementation on egg weight in laying hens by using meta–analysis. The limitations of the eight studies –indexed in SCI– taken into the meta–analysis were 18 – 42 week old brown and white laying hens; 10( 7 ) – 10( 10 ) CFU/g Bacillus subtilis was used as a probiotic and the dose ranged between 400 – 1000 g/ton. The meta–analysis was carried out using (experimental–control) means for continuous data. As a result of the research, it was determined that all studies did not share a single common effect (heterogeneous). In addition, the overall effect size using the random effect model was calculated as 0.223. Based on z and p values, the hypothesis of the study was accepted (z = 2.90; p < 0.05). In other words, "the probiotic has a significant effect on egg weight in laying hens".
People feel themselves inadequte, desperate and have problem of social isolation as a result of mobbing and occupational burnout in working places.Thus it threats life, health and productivity of people.Mobbing and occupational burnout are common problems in health sector.The aim of this study was to determine the levels of mobbing and occupational burnout of health staff and to reveal the influence of mobbing on occupational burnout.As the way of collecting data, a questionnaire consisting of Leymann and Maslach scales was used.The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis.
Bu araştırmanın amacı, emniyet ve asayiş ile kamu düzenini korumakla görevli olan emniyet personelinin bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeylerinin tespit edilmesidir. Çalışmaya, Siirt'te görev yapan 207 jandarma ve 197 polis olmak üzere toplam 404 personel katılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak anket kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, betimsel istatistiklerin (frekans, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma) yanı sıra, bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeylerinin katılımcıların demografik özelliklerine göre karşılaştırılmasında t testi ve varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeyi ölçeğinin "saldırı ve tehditler" alt boyutuna ilişkin genel ortalama 2,32 ve "kişisel verileri koruma" alt boyutuna ilişkin genel ortalama ise 2,87 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu değerler emniyet personelinin bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeylerinin yüksek olmadığını hatta ortalamanın altında olduğunu göstermektedir. Diğer taraftan katılımcıların bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeylerinin bazı demografik özellik değişkenlerine göre farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, emniyet personelinin bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeylerinin artırılmasına yönelik önlem alınmasını ve gerekli çalışmalar yapılmasını ortaya koymuştur. Bununla birlikte konu ile ilgili farklı çalışmaların farklı illerde farklı örneklemlerle yapılması bilgi güvenliği farkındalık düzeyinin mevcut durumunu betimleyecek, literatüre önemli katkılar ve ilgili birimlerin önlem alması konusunda yöneticilere önemli veri kaynağı oluşturacaktır.
Bu arastirmanin amaci yoneticilerin kisilik ozelliklerinin, isgorenlerle yasadiklari catismalari yonetmede kullandiklari yontemlerle arasindaki iliskiyi belirleyebilmektir. Arastirmada, veri toplama araci olarak anket yonteminden yararlanilmistir. Arastirma, Istanbul ve Antalya bolgesinde gorev yapan otel yoneticileri uzerinde gerceklestirilmistir. Otel yoneticilerinin kisilik ozellikleri ile catismayi yonetme yontemleri arasindaki iliskiyi belirleyebilmek amaciyla korelasyon analizinden faydalanilmistir. Arastirmadan elde edilen bulgulara gore, otel yoneticilerinin kisilik ozellikleri en fazla sorumluluk ozelliginde yogunlastigi belirlenirken; isgorenlerle aralarindaki catismalari yonetmede en fazla kullandiklari yontemlerin ise problem cozme, uzlasma ve orgutsel onlemler alma yontemleri oldugu belirlenmistir. Ayrica arastirmada, yoneticilerin kisilik ozellikleriyle bazi catisma yonetme yontemleri arasinda anlamli iliskiler tespit edilmistir
