Türkiye’de Sağlık Çalışanlarında İş Yaşam Kalitesi: Sistematik Derleme

The purpose of this study, which is a systematic review, is to review the studies published in the national literature on the quality of work life of healthcare professional and to reveal the similarities and differences in the research results. In this study, which was carried out as a retrospective review of the publications on work life quality, ULAKBİM TR Index and Google Academic search engines were used by using the keywords “quality of work life”, “healthcare professional”, “nurse”, and “hospital”. Ninety-three studies, whose full texts were accessible, published in peer-reviewed journals were examined. The eight studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Data were summarized and evaluated using a standard data summarization form developed for this study. As a result of this systematic examination, it was found that healthcare professional stated their work life quality at a medium level, and the institution management had a significant effect on the quality of work life. In general, there was a significant difference between the quality of work life and age, gender, education, and the status of loving the profession, but no significant difference was found with the duration of work and weekly working hours in the profession and institution. In the studies examined, it was found that there is a relationship between work life quality and motivation, job engagement and quality of life. As in the world, quality of work life of healthcare professional in Turkey is an important finding. Scientific evidence on the importance and dimensions of the problem has been obtained by systematizing the studies on the subject. It is thought that these evidences will serve both in determining the scope of future studies and in preparing the necessary measures to solve the problem in the clinical field. Keywords: Quality of work life, healthcare professional, nurse, hospital.

Studies on the side effects of herbal medicines based on the plant in question, or on toxicity, are quite scarce. Leaving evident the need for expansion of studies in order to evaluate the toxicity and side effects of the plant.

Analysis of the effects of store image, trust and perceived quality on consumption habits of textile products in the COVID-19 pandemic

Consumer clothing presents behaviors defined by pre-established trends and patterns in contemporary societies, and in general the consumption of textile products follows this trend. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions perpetuated as a consequence of it, the consumption of textile products has been affected throughout the world. Under this premise, the objective of this research is to analyze the effect of store images, trust and perceived quality on the habits of the textile consumer in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, for which, firstly, a review of the literature was carried out regarding the variables of the habits of the textile consumer and their relationship with the store image, trust and perceived quality, for which documents from academic search engines were taken into account, such as Scopus, Web of Science, ResearchGate and Google Scholar. On the other hand, a survey was conducted among textile consumers in Ecuador. The measurement tool was completed by 500 participants. In this way, the survey was conducted virtually through Google Forms and through the use of IBM SPSS software. The sampling technique consisted of convenience sampling. For the specific case of this investigation, it was decided to opt for the use of 500 valid questionnaires. This allowed one to propose a model of structural equations based on constructs associated with reference investigations. The main results of this research confirmed that there is a positive impact of the image of the trusted establishment on the product, as well as a positive impact on the general perceived quality of consumption habits (comparison) and on the effect of the quality of perceived service in consumption habits (planning).

BE SAFE OR BE SORRY: A SCOPING REVIEW ON CHILDREN’S SAFETY AND SECURITY AWARENESS

The rapid growth of urbanisation has brought significant benefits to the world economy and cultural and societal development and increased social problems worldwide. The nature of crime is not uniform but varies from geographical region to another. In some areas, property crime is more common, while crime against a person (violent) is prevalent in others. In recent years, children’s safety and security have become more prevalent. Thus, this review emphasises the awareness of children’s safety and security worldwide. Hence, the primary goal of this scoping review is to uncover previous research on steps and strategies applied by many in creating awareness among young children about safety and security knowledge. This scoping review was reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Five databases, namely Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Semantic Scholar, and Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE), were used for data scoping. A total of 20 studies were identified to be eligible for selection.

How Social Media Makes Shisha Smoking Looks Good? A Systematic Review

Despite the danger of shisha smoking, the freedom provided by social media means, pro-shisha smoking content can be freely shared across the platform. This could have a negative impact on youth who are frequent users of social media. They are often associated with the shisha smoking habit. Hence, this paper systematically synthesized the findings of the earlier literature related to the portrayal of shisha smoking on social media. This was performed to provide insight pertaining to the issue, which contributes to public health intervention and also for future research. Search for relevant literature was conducted using academic search engines including Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. The literature was qualitatively and thematically synthesized. The results of this review indicated that, shisha smoking is commonly portrayed as a social activity that is fun, relaxing, and desirable. At the individual level, it was also found that, social media serves as a platform for youth to express shisha smoking attitude. The findings of this review can enhance the understanding of how the portrayal of shisha smoking on different social media platforms may be interfering with public health cessation intervention. This study adds to the present knowledge with regard to the portrayal of shisha smoking on social media.

What evidence exists on conceptual differences in climate change perceptions of smallholders? A systematic map protocol

BackgroundClimate change is affecting small-scale populations worldwide. Evidence of adverse effects has been reported for smallholders’ agriculture, hunting, fishing, and gathering products from natural ecosystems (non-timber forest products). To take precautions or deal with such problems (i.e. to adapt), smallholders need to perceive climatic changes. Acknowledging this need, the literature on this topic is vast. Despite that, authors adopt alternative concepts of climate change perception, which may hinder comparisons of results across studies. Hence, the review team aim to systematically map the literature usage of the climate change perception concept.MethodsThis systematic map will follow the CEE guidelines and conform to the Reporting Standards for Systematic Evidence form. The review team will rely on five electronic databases of scientific publications—Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, BASE—Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, Science Direct Elsevier and PubMed—with pre-tested search terms only in English. Publications will be filtered through the “articles only” and “English language” selections. Titles, abstracts, and full texts will then be screened using pre-defined eligibility criteria, including small-scale and indigenous populations inhabiting rural areas, as well as presenting explicitly or implicitly the concept of climate change perception. From articles meeting the eligibility criteria, the review team will extract and encode the data while selecting the full texts for reading. The review team will use a codebook pre-elaborated for encoding. No critical appraisal of study validity will be undertaken. Finally, a database with coded metadata of all studies in the map will be made available. The review team will present the evidence in a report map with text, figures, and tables, besides a catalogue of all identified perception definitions.

Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTC) and the Environment: A Scoping Review.

Background: Multiple Long Term conditions (MLTC) are a major health care challenge associated with high service utilisation and expenditure. Once established, the trajectory to an increased number and severity of conditions, hospital admission, increased social care need and mortality is multifactorial. The role of wider environmental determinants in the MLTC sequelae is unclear. Aim: the aim of this review was to summarise and collate existing evidence on environmental determinants on established MLTC. Methods: comprehensive search of Medline, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL and Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE), from inception to 4th June 2022 in addition to grey literature. Two authors independently screened and extracted papers. Disagreements were resolved with a third author. Results: searches yielded 9079 articles, 12 of which met the review’s inclusion criteria. Evidence of correlations between some environmental determinants and increased or decreased risks of MLTC were found, including the quality of internal housing/living environments, exposure to airborne environmental hazards and a beneficial association with socially cohesive, accessible and greener neighbourhood environments. Conclusions: The majority of the 12 included papers focused on the built and social environments. The review uncovered very limited evidence, indicating a need for further research to understand the role of environmental determinants in MLTC.

Comparison of Full-Text Indexing with Metadata Indexing Based Subject Classification Using Graph-Based Index

Subject classification is an indispensable part of all academic search engines to facilitate faster search and retrieval of scholarly articles based on search queries. The widely used approach uses the metadata of journal papers like title, abstract, paper keywords, etc., to classify articles. This paper compares full text-based subject classification with metadata-based subject classification using a graph-based indexing approach. Comparing both methods is an extension of my previous work, GASE, a Graph-based Academic Search Engine based on the subject classification of research articles using an efficient full-text indexing approach. The results show that full-text indexing-based subject classification yields high accuracy than metadata-based classification. Also compared the space complexity and time complexity of both indexing methods. Full-text indexing will have higher space complexity, as it requires storing the entire contents. But subject labeling takes up a generalized time complexity of ? (n2 log(n) 2) for both full-text and metadata indexing by considering only the higher-order term and ignoring other constant values.

Neonatal Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome Consequent to Perinatal SARS-COVID-2- Infection: A Narrative Review Study

Several studies have described multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) in children, but very few investigations presented this syndrome among neonates (MIS-N). The present study has reviewed the current knowledge about MIS-N, its etiology, symptoms, and outcomes to attract special attention with an eye on earlier diagnosis and treatment of newborns affected by perinatal SARS-CoV-2-infection. A narrative review study was conducted (Tehran, Iran, 2021). All types of full English articles (up to October 1 2021) were included. Detailed research on academic search engines was performed. The implemented Mesh-based keywords were "SARS-COVID-2" OR "COVID-19" OR "coronavirus" AND "Neonate" OR "Neonatal" OR "Newborn" AND "Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome" OR "MIS-N" OR "inflammatory response syndrome" AND "Pregnancy" OR "Perinatal" OR "prenatal". Finally, 15 Full-text articles were included that met the eligibility criteria. Available data related to the disease, its etiology, presentations, and its outcome were collected and discussed. The cause of MIS-N is the transmission or production of SARS-CoV2 antibodies in response to SARS-CoV2 infection. By involving different organs, the clinical manifestations of MIS-N may mimic sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, RDS, Kawasaki disease, necrotizing enterocolitis, myocarditis, meningitis/encephalitis, aortic thrombosis, ETC. Besides the clinical presentations, detecting reactive anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies could be a notable clue in MIS-N diagnosis. Supportive therapy, suppressing the autoimmune and inflammatory responses, anti-platelet agents, and anticoagulants were reported as effective therapeutic agents to improve the outcome. The present study highlighted the possibility of MIS-N as an infrequent but severe syndrome consequent to perinatal COVID-19 infection. Although the diagnosis is still controversial, clinical suspicion, laboratory findings, and early treatment initiation could improve the outcome of this immunological disease.

Behaviour in public open spaces: A systematic review of studies with quantitative research methods

Public open spaces are important assets that play a significant role in city lives, based on which a great number of behaviour-based studies are being conducted. These studies often use one or more case studies to observe people's preferences and usage habits and to investigate their influencing factors such as outdoor thermal comfort, environmental conditions, urban configuration, and local settings. Because the subject is complex and falls within the purview of multiple academic disciplines, it is a challenging task to understand the current status and development trends of existing studies. To fill this gap, this article presents a systematic review of quantitative evidence-based behaviour studies in public open spaces. Following the PRISMA method and searching using eight academic search engines, full texts of 116 research articles have been included for this review. The main contributions of this review are that: (1) it proposed a relatively complete system that categorizes people's behaviour in public open spaces; (2) it introduced outdoor subjective influencing procedure including behaviour, feeling and health impacts; (3) the review illustrated the distribution of existing research as well as research trends; and finally (4) the article also timely discussed the influence of the COVID-19 on people's behaviour in public open spaces. The authors consider this article to be useful as it can facilitate further behaviour-based studies in public open spaces. With a robust classification and future trend discussion of factors associated, fellow researchers, urban designers, city managers, and policymakers are easier to integrate and use the knowledge learned. • A systematic review of 116 quantitative studies on behaviour in public open spaces. • Lists of behaviour types, subjective feedbacks, and objective influencing factors. • A summary of behaviour studies in public open spaces during the COVID-19.

Application of GIS in Agriculture in Promoting Evidence-Informed Decision Making for Improving Agriculture Sustainability: A Systematic Review

The objective of this review was to synthesize existing evidence on GIS and RS application in agriculture in enhancing evidence-informed policy and practice for improving agriculture sustainability and identifying obstacles to their application, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Systematic searches were conducted in the databases SCOPUS, Web of Science, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, COnnecting REpositories (CORE), and Google Scholar. We identified 2113 articles published between 2010–2021, out of which 40 articles met the inclusion criteria. The results show that GIS technology application in agriculture has gained prominence in the last decade, with 66% of selected papers being published in the last six years. The main GIS application areas identified included: crop yield estimation, soil fertility assessment, cropping patterns monitoring, drought assessment, pest and crop disease detection and management, precision agriculture, and fertilizer and weed management. GIS technology has the potential to enhance agriculture sustainability through integrating the spatial dimension of agriculture into agriculture policies. In addition, GIS potential in promoting evidenced informed decision making is growing. There is, however, a big gap in GIS application in sub-Saharan Africa, with only one paper originating from this region. With the growing threat of climate change to agriculture and food security, there is an increased need for the integration of GIS in policy and decision making in improving agriculture sustainability.

Exploring the impact of employee engagement and patient safety.

BackgroundHealth service administrators are continually investigating new ways to improve the safety and quality of health services. A positive and powerful relationship between employee engagement and patient safety has been suggested in the research literature, and steps can be taken by employers to enhance engagement to improve the safety of health services, particularly considering the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.ObjectiveThe aim of this review was to explore the current literature on the impact of employee engagement on patient safety.MethodsA review of peer-reviewed literature relating to the impact of employee engagement on patient safety within health services between January 2015 and May 2021 was conducted using Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline Complete, Scopus, Health Business Elite and Business Source Ultimate databases. A search of grey literature using the Bielefeld Academic Search Engine database was also completed.ResultsOf relevant articles, 3693 were identified, of which 15 studies were included in this review. Ten articles measured employee engagement using existing, validated tools, whereas patient safety was most frequently assessed through surveys seeking staff member’s perceptions of safety or the quality of care they provide. Overall, there appeared to be a positive correlation between employee engagement and patient safety, but the strength of the relationship varied.ConclusionAnecdotal accounts of improving employee engagement and improving patient safety abound, and the evidence reviewed appears in agreement. However, research into the impact of employee engagement on patient safety is in its early stages. As health service managers consider the best use of funding to support safe and high-quality care, evidence to support the positive impact employee engagement has on patient safety may be useful in managing the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Experiences and Perceptions in Dyads about Ostomy Care. Meta-synthesis of Qualitative Studies.

To understand the experiences and perceptions of care dyads (person and caregiver) when having a permanent discharge ostomy. Meta-synthesis that followed the ENTREQ standards and was registered in PROSPERO CRD42020221755; It was developed in three phases: (i). Search for studies in academic search engines, with MeSH terms: [(Patients) AND (Ostomy)) AND (Caregivers)], including qualitative primary studies published between 2000 and 2020; (ii). Assessment of the methodological quality with the CORE-Q instrument and the credibility of qualitative findings under the guidelines of the Johanna Briggs Institute; and (iii). Comparative analysis according to the guidelines by Sandelowski and Barroso. The work identified 664 studies; in screening, 35 passed to full-text analysis; 22 to methodological quality evaluation; and 10 to meta-synthesis. The study found 43 qualitative findings that constituted four categories: dyads perform instrumental and emotional care; ambivalent family caregiving feelings and actions; assertive and effective family care; and rejection of bodily changes and sexual dysfunction. These categories constitute the central meta-theme: "The dyads experience a life rupture, which is restored in a sea of ambivalent emotions and learning; at the same time, affective, instrumental and assertive care is constructed". People who experience having a permanent discharge ostomy express their rejection to the change in bodily image, alterations in sexual life and as a couple. Caregivers and families are the main source of support by being facilitators in self-care, through relationships of mutuality and reciprocity.

Marketing Sports for Corporate Sponsorship: A Descriptive Literature Review of Sports Marketing by Sports Associations

National Sports Associations (NSAs) in developing countries such as the Philippines have long been known to be too reliant on government funding support making sports projects specific to city or province. To go beyond government boundaries, many sports associations have been encouraged to reach out to the private sector to seek financial assistance. In order words, the NSAs were being pushed to market their sports to possible benefactors, especially the corporate world. Sports marketing is thus studied. This investigation is a descriptive review of sports marketing studies found in online academic search engines covering the period from 2000-2019. The system of analyzing included themes-1) DESCRIBING SPORTS MARKETING, 2) institutional support ensuring success of sports marketing, 3) benefits on the practice of sports marketing, and 4) recommendations on the practice of sports marketing. The result of this research concluded the gaps on sports marketing studies involving its practice especially by the national sports associations

Antioxidants for the Prevention and Treatment of Non-communicable Diseases

Abiotic environmental stress causes plants and animals to produce excessive superoxide radicals that are extremely toxic and reactive, thereby causing injury to tissue resulting in the occurrence of several disorders. Antioxidants can counteract free radicals by preventing non-communicable diseases. There are natural and synthetic antioxidants. Natural antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, and spices can be consumed, while synthetic antioxidants are produced in laboratories via chemical processes. This review focused on the sources, pharmacological properties, applications, and prospects of natural and synthetic antioxidants, as well as exogenous and endogenous antioxidants. A literature search was done using different search engines like Google Books, Science.gov, Microsoft Academic, Worldwide Science, ResearchGate, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE), Medline, and PubMed Central. Different keywords, such as antioxidants, free radicals, oxidative stress, superoxide radicals, and oxygen radicals, were used. The relevant literature was collected and used in this review. Antioxidants inhibit oxidation and help to prevent non-communicable diseases, such as aging and inflammatory processes, tumors, kidney and liver diseases, coronary heart disease, cataracts, renal toxicity, and neurological diseases. It was found that antioxidants in the diet have the capacity to prevent oxidative anxiety-related disorders.
