The population of the cross-sectional and descriptive study consisted of individuals living in Turkey between 19 May and 19 July 2020. Due to the pandemic, 3035 people who agreed to participate in the research were reached via online survey method. Sociodemographic data form and Beck's Anxiety Inventory were used as data collection tools. 59.1% of the participants in the study are women and the average age is 35.16 +/- 13.4. 0.8% of individuals stated that they were infected with coronavirus, 21.4% stated that they had a family member or close circle affected by coronavirus disease, 6.3% stated that they had relatives who died from this disease, and 9.9% stated that they applied for quarantine as a suspected patient. While 89.3% of individuals stated that they stayed at home, 79.2% stated that they had been away from home for the last two weeks. It was found that the mean scores of Beck's Anxiety Inventory were higher in women, those in the older age group, those who were married, those with higher education levels, and those who perceived their socioeconomic status as low.

Practices of Patient Relatives Aimed at Preventing Pressure Injuries and Their Experiences of Coping with the Burden of Care: A Qualitative Study

Objective: To determine the practices and coping experiences of the relatives of patients with pressure injuries (PIs).
Methods: The authors used a qualitative, phenomenologic research design. They interviewed 20 relatives of patients with PIs face-to-face using an in-depth semistructured interview form. The data were analyzed using the Colaizzi phenomenologic method.
Results: Three categories, 8 main themes, and 22 subthemes emerged from the interviews. The category of "the impact of the need for care on the lives of the patient's relatives" was analyzed according to psychological, social, and physical effects. In the category of "practices to prevent pressure injuries," two themes emerged: practices toward the patient and the environment. Relatives of individuals with PIs have psychological, physical, and social needs.
Conclusions: Providing care to a patient with PIs has psychological, social, and physical effects on the patient's relatives. The care burden mostly affects these caregivers negatively, and they mainly need time for themselves and moral and companion support.

Evaluating country performance in preventing industrial accidents: A multi-criteria decision analysis approach
Şimşek, Ahmet Bahadır; Köse, Gülüstan; Göktekin, Zekiye
This study presents a methodology that adopts a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach to evaluate countries' performance in preventing industrial accidents, using accident records and combining three MCDA techniques (TOPSIS, Electre II, and CoCoSo) to create a robust ranking. Applied to OECD countries, the methodology provides valuable insights into countries' commitment to industrial accident prevention. It highlights the impact of European Union legislation, variations in the ranks of G7 economies, and identifies role models like Spain and Italy while shedding light on the neglect of regulations in developing countries like Hungary and Turkey. In a world where industrial accidents have far-reaching consequences, this study emphasizes the importance of sincerity and dedication in accident prevention efforts. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

Exploring managerial insights through multi criteria decision making techniques in pharmacy inventory classification problem
Şimşek, Ahmet Bahadır; Göktekin, Zekiye; Geliç, Büşra
The current research addresses the inventory classification problem of community pharmacies, which have a dual role as both a vital component of the pharmaceutical supply chain and a typical retail store. Despite the existing literature indicating that pharmacists may lack knowledge on inventory management, it seems that the MCIC literature is weak in explaining how pharmacists can benefit from MCDA techniques in all aspects. To bridge this gap, the study aims to demonstrate that pharmacists can utilize MCDA techniques to gain deeper insights beyond mere classification in the context of inventory management. Real-world data from a community pharmacy in Turkey was classified using the EDAS method. Sensitivity analysis was performed for MCDA inputs, about which pharmacists may lack information. Scenario findings based on criterion weights and threshold values offer important managerial implications for pharmacists. This study provides a critical contribution to the literature on inventory management in community pharmacies by highlighting the potential of MCDA techniques to support decision-making beyond mere classification. The sensitivity analysis also sheds light on areas where pharmacists may lack knowledge and suggests ways to address these gaps. Overall, the study underscores the need for pharmacists to have a deeper understanding of inventory management and highlights the potential benefits of MCDA techniques in addressing this challenge. © 2023 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada.
