Karatay, Gülnaz
This study examines the construction of collective mourning and social memory in digital environments following the discovery of university student Ayşe Tokyaz’s body in a suitcase, using a netnographic approach. Femicide is framed as a form of structural violence that produces societal trauma. A total of 414 online comments from Haberler.com were reviewed; 226 met the inclusion criteria, and 205 were analyzed after data cleaning. An integrated qualitative method combining thematic analysis, manual sentiment coding, and discourse analysis was employed. Findings highlight strong demands for justice and capital punishment, alongside distrust in the legal system and calls for retribution. Patriarchal norms appear in victim-blaming and sexist discourse, while demands to reveal the perpetrator’s identity reflect “digital justice.” Collective mourning is expressed through empathy and shared grief, whereas fear signals ongoing trauma. Some users invoke religious references. As a single-case study, findings are context-specific.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effect of being diagnosed with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) during pregnancy on postpartum depressive symptoms and infant-mother bonding. Method: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in a city in southeastern Turkey. Using the purposeful sampling method, 210 postpartum women (106 had COVID during pregnancy, 104 did not) constituted the sample of the study. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews between 15 March and 30 May 2022. Data were collected using the mother introductory information form, mother-infant bonding scale, and Edinburgh postnatal depression scale. The obtained data were analyzed using percentages, means, t-test, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and regression analysis. Results: According to the findings of the study, a significant relationship has been observed between contracting COVID-19 and both the birth weight of the baby and the week of birth. Moreover, having COVID-19 negatively affected infant-mother bonding and increased postpartum depressive symptoms. Conclusion: According to the findings of the study: it was observed that the babies of mothers who had COVID-19 had lower birth weight, were born before the full term, mother-baby bonding was lower, and postpartum depression was higher in mothers.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between loneliness, hopelessness and social support experienced by mothers with disabled children. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 106 mothers with disabled children. The data was collected by compiling the Personal Information Form and by applying three main scales: the UCLA Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS), the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The data obtained was analyzed using the number, percentage, mean, correlation, T test, Anova and Mann Whitney U tests. The UCLA-LS mean score of the mothers was 50.56 ± 11.94, the BHS mean score was 10.78 ± 4.93 and the MSPSS mean score was 40.97 ± 13.86. The results showed a positive correlation between the mean scores of the loneliness and hopelessness scale, and a negative correlation between the mean scores of the loneliness and hopelessness scale and the mean MSPSS score (p <.05). As a result of the research findings, mothers with disabled children experienced loneliness and hopelessness and did not receive sufficient social support.

Akkuş, Yeliz; Parlak, Ayşe Gül; Karacan, Yasemin; Karatay, Gülnaz
Introduction: From the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in 2020 to the present, older people have been the worst affected among all age groups. This study was conducted to examine thoroughly the perceptions and experiences of older people regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. Materials and Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using a semi-structured, in-depth interview method with 16 older people living in the east of Turkey. The interviews were conducted through the mobile application WhatsApp, as the older people were in the risk group for infection. The sample group was reached using the snowball method. When the data obtained from the participants reached the saturation level, two more interviews were conducted, and then the interviews were ended. After the recorded interviews were transcribed, they were subjected to conventional content analysis. Results: Four main themes emerged from the interviews in line with the purpose of this study. These themes are The Meaning of COVID-19, Outcomes of COVID-19, Need for Support and Resources, and Attitudes toward Vaccination. Conclusion: It was determined that the older people experienced fear during the COVID-19 pandemic; the social restrictions affected them psychologically, physiologically, and economically and they could not get enough support and felt lonely in this process; but nevertheless, they were hopeful about the vaccine. To address these findings, this study suggested support for home care of older people and the development of psychosocial and economic support programs for them.

Karatay, Gülnaz
Historical/social traumas such as war, migration, natural disasters and genocide have multidimensional devastating effects on the survivors. However, subsequent generations also absorb the experiences of their parents in different ways, even if they were not directly exposed to trauma, and their stress-response systems may become vulnerable. This situation, which indicates the contagious nature of social traumas, is expressed in the concepts such as “secondary traumatization” or “intergenerational transmission of trauma”. In the past two decades, there have been an increasing interest in, and modelling studies on the forms of intergenerational transmission of trauma. Scientific studies reveal that, despite some disadvantages of the retrospective method, social/historical traumas continue to affect subsequent generations through psychodynamic, environmental, cultural and epigenetic mechanisms. It is stated that intra-family communication patterns play an important role especially in the processes of trauma transmission and the generation effect may be experienced more heavily in the families who failed to achieve posttraumatic growth. This review article, discussing intergenerational transmission of trauma, aims to create a perspective on the phenomenon by reviewing the literature on the forms of intergenerational transmission of trauma and concordantly, to contribute to a better understanding of the cost of social traumas.

During the first phases of adolescent development, young people have little self-efficacy and resistance against substance use. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of role-playing scenarios on the self-efficacy of students in resisting substance use. A pre test and post test study design was used with a single group. The study was carried out with 245 secondary school students. The scenario-based training, developed by the researchers, was presented by the school counselors once a week for 4 weeks. For this purpose, a booklet of scenarios was prepared for the teachers. The role-playing scenarios were intended to improve adolescents’ abilities to say "no" to substance offers, to prevent them from becoming addicted to certain substances, and to call for help if needed. The data of the study were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Self-Efficacy for Adolescences Protecting Substance Abuse Scale. The obtained data were assessed using percentages, chi-square, t test, and F test in the SPSS software. Results showed that, after the training, the mean score in the Self-Efficacy for Adolescences Protecting Substance Abuse Scale increased significantly (103.20 ± 20.00) compared with before the training (92.11 ± 17.08) (P <.05). Short-term outcomes of the class-based scenario training were observed to be effective in the development of students’ self-efficacy to resist the temptations of substance use.

Introduction: Falls in the elderly are a significant problem with consequences that may lead to death. Although many studies have been conducted regarding falls in the elderly, little is known of their own perceptions and experiences of falling. The purpose of this study was to beter understand how the elderly living in institutions understand and perceive their experiences of falling. Materials and Method: A qualitative design was used based upon van Manen's phenomenological approach. Interviews were conducted with 22 elderly using a purposive sampling method. Van Manen's data analysis approach was used to analyze the data derived from the interviews.Results: Outcomes of this study showed that there were three main perceptions about falls for the elderly: Participants acknowledged falling as a painful experience and that falls should be expected in old age. Still others understood that life goes on but with new areas of concern which will require their attention and care.Conclusion: The results of this study show that all health care personnel, particularly the nurses who care for the elderly in an institutional environment, need to adopt an individualized and empathetic approach to those in their care. Falls happen often and can be fatal to the elderly. Thus it is very important for all health care professionals working with the elderly to be fully informed and involved in ensuring that their patients practice safe behaviors to guard against falls. Care should also be taken to ensure that their living environment is safe and secure.
