A model proposal for qualitative data analysis, interpretation, and reporting: contextuality, reflectivity, and narrativity.

Rationale: From education to healthcare and management processes, it is important to address the experience in health within its own complexity, context, and uniqueness. At this point, qualitative studies come to the fore and this increases the need for practical guides and models for qualitative studies. Qualitative studies have a paradigm that is different from quantitative research and its paradigm ontologically, epistemologically, and methodologically.

Determining the effectiveness of a virtual service /patient-based education program on patient care and clinical decision-making in nursing: A quasi-experimental study.

Integration of behavioral, social, and humanities sciences into healthcare and education and their alignment with medical education programs.

There has been an increasing acknowledgment of the intricacies inherent in health and healthcare processes, leading to a shift in medical education. This change underscores multidimensional, thorough, reflective, and contextual approaches characterized by mutual interaction and change. The perception of health/well-being and illness is transitioning toward acknowledging them as outcomes arising from the complex interplay of individual, social, and environmental/ecosystemic factors.

Chitosan-based film incorporated with silver-loaded organo-bentonite or organo-bentonite: Synthesis and characterization for potential food packaging material.

Biopolymer-clay composite films were synthesized and characterized for food packaging material. The synthesis was conducted in two stages. Cetrimonium bromide-modified bentonite (CTAB-bentonite) was first exchanged with Ag ions to obtain Ag-CTAB-bentonite.

Adaptation of the professionalism mini-evaluation exercise instrument into Turkish: a validity and reliability study.

Background: There is an ongoing search for standardized scales appropriate for each culture to evaluate professionalism, which is one of the basic competencies of a physician. The Professionalism Mini-evaluation Exercise (P-MEX) instrument was originally developed in Canada to meet this need. In this study, it was aimed to adapt the P-MEX to Turkish and to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version.
