Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Adaptation of the Disaster Response Self- Efficacy Scale (DRSES).

Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 'Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES).'

Method: This is a methodological study to validate the DRSES. Third and fourth grade nursing students participated in the study (n = 340).

The long-lived reactive nitrogen species in the troposphere: DFTB model for atmospheric applications.

The longest lived reactive NO molecule formation in a dry and clean air environment under a high-temperature shock wave was investigated under three basic reactions (R2 for the O + NO system, R6 for the NO + NO system, and R7 for the NO + O system) in the atmospheric environment. With certain approaches, a DFTB3 model was used, which gave results close to the density functional theory. In the calculations, the related reactions up to 250 ps were examined at individual specific temperatures, and the temperature ranges that contributed to the formation of the NO molecule were determined.

Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Dietary Sodium Restriction Questionnaire.

Background: Sodium restriction is the primary nonpharmacological treatment in heart failure (HF) to prevent rehospitalization and reduce HF symptom burden. Despite the importance of restricting sodium in the diet, the prevalence of nonadherence to a low-sodium diet has been known to be high. To reduce the high prevalence of nonadherence, we have to know the facilitating and challenging factors.

Coronavirus anxiety and cyberchondria among teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic: an online survey: Coronavirus anxiety and cyberchondria.

This study aimed to determine anxiety and cyberchondria and to investigate the links between anxiety and cyberchondria among teachers. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 250 teachers. Data were collected using demographic information form, Cyberchondria Severity Scale and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form.

LATE-NIGHT SALIVARY CORTISOL IS UNALTERED IN PATIENTS WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME (PCOS), IRRESPECTIVE OF DISEASE PHENOTYPE, AND IN OBESE WOMEN, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PRESENCE OF PCOS.

Objective: To determine cutoff values of late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) using an electrochemiluminescent immunoassay and investigate whether the diagnostic performance of the assay is influenced by the presence of obesity or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: A total of 124 subjects comprising 25 patients with Cushing syndrome (CS), 44 with PCOS (22 nonobese and 22 obese), 21 with constitutional obesity (CO), and 34 healthy subjects (HS) were included in the study. Two consecutive LNSC samples were collected from all participants.

Investigation of a nosocomial outbreak by alginate-producing pan-antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Background: The nosocomial spread of pan-antibiotic-resistant nonfermentative bacteria is an increasing concern. This study investigated the microbiologic and epidemiologic characteristics of a hospital outbreak due to alginate-producing, pan-antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAR-Pa).

Methods: All patients with infection with a P.

[Investigation of intestinal parasites and ectoparasites in three primary school students in Elaziğ].

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasites and ectoparasites among the students of three primary schools of different socioeconomic levels in Elaziğ. At first, a total of 448 students who attend different schools were examined for ectoparasites and then stool and cellophane tapes were collected. Intestinal parasites were found in 119 (26%) of the specimens.
