The COVID-19 epidemic has increased its impact on a global scale and created the pandemic process, causing a change in the dynamics of urban life. On the basis of urban life dynamics, the effect of the city-space relationship of the COVID-19 pandemic has gained importance. In this context, the differences in green space usage experiences and habits before and after the Covid-19 pandemic process were examined with a questionnaire applied to 240 people, and the survey results were evaluated with the chi-square statistical method. As a result of the evaluation, it has been revealed that green areas have gained a new meaning and it is a necessity to include accessibility, functions, classification and user experiences in the urban space in planning studies.With the results of the study, the meaning of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the planning studies at the point of creating resilient cities and how to evaluate this meaning within the framework of its application and the points that need attention are examined. Objectives are set in terms of using the results obtained with this study as a resource in planning studies, increasing the quality of urban life and achieving the goals of creating resilient cities.

Objective: Vaccination is the most effective way to fight communicable diseases. Encouraging vaccine literacy is crucial for promoting COVID-19 vaccination. We aimed to assess vaccine literacy among those who did not complete the recommended COVID-19 vaccine schedule. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Ankara Province's Çankaya District between March and May 2022. Individuals (n=252 315) who had received two COVID-19 vaccine doses but not the third by February 2022 were identified. Using a 99% confidence interval, α=0.05, and d=5%, the sample size was determined as 636, assuming a 40% inadequate COVID-19 vaccine literacy rate. The first part of the questionnaire included demographic details, COVID-19 history, and reasons for vaccine delay and the second part contained items from the COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used in the univariate analysis of the obtained data, and multiple linear regression analysis was used in the multivariate analysis. Results: 62% of the participants were female, aged 21 to 94, with a mean (SD) age of 51.0 (±13.6) and a median of 52. 52.8% (n=317) had no prior COVID-19 history. Unmarried individuals and those under 40 scored lower in functional and communicative/critical skills. Those who had seasonal flu vaccine had higher scores in functional skills, while non-COVID-19 cases had higher scores in communicative/critical skills and overall scale. 87.7% (n=526) chose CoronaVac (Sinovac Life Sciences, Beijing, China) for the first two COVID-19 doses. Reasons for missing the booster dose included "breastfeeding/pregnancy", "lack of follow-up opportunity", and "previous COVID-19 contraction". Conclusion: Encouraging vaccination against COVID-19 and increasing health literacy levels is recommended so that individuals can understand misinformation and inaccurate data in the media.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which deeply affected our country as well as the whole world, has been one of the most important global crises of recent years. Along with this crisis, big changes have occurred in the lives of individuals. A natural consequence of the pandemic; While anxiety, concerns, uncertainty and economic fears emerge with the most obvious features, how this process is interpreted by people will shed light for research. It also aimed to see how people perceived social support as socialization developed in this period. The aim of this study is to examine the formative role of the perceived social support level in the developmental curve in the relationship between individuals' cognitive flexibility level and intolerance to uncertainty during the Covid-19 pandemic period. 300 individuals between the ages of 18-65 participated in the study. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that there is a negative significant relationship between the cognitive flexibility level of individuals and the level of intolerance to uncertainty. As cognitive flexibility increases, intolerance to uncertainty decreases. In this study, it was determined that the variables of gender, age, marital status and income level did not show a significant difference according to the level of intolerance to uncertainty. On the other hand, it was determined that the level of intolerance to uncertainty of the participants whose education level is high school and below is significantly higher than the participants whose education level is undergraduate and graduate. It was observed that there was a significant difference between the participants' living city variable and the level of intolerance to uncertainty. It has been determined that the level of intolerance to uncertainty of the participants living in Sivas and Adana is significantly higher than the participants living in the city of Istanbul. It is seen that perceived social support does not have a moderating effect on the relationship between the level of cognitive flexibility and the level of intolerance to uncertainty. In the direction of the results obtained, it is thought that preventive mental health studies and developing new intervention programs to reduce the effects of the uncertainty, anxiety and negativities created by the pandemic on mental health can help reduce the problems on individuals. In this way, it can increase the individual's tolerance and endurance in the face of changes and troubles in life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of the Covid-19 pandemic process in Turkey (2021-2022 academic year), it was decided to continue face-to-face education and training. With the return of students to face-to-face education, it was observed that there were changes in some behaviors compared to before the pandemic. In this study, it was aimed to determine the behavioral changes observed in students during the transition from distance education to face-toface education according to the opinions of teachers. This study was planned using qualitative research method and case study design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used. A study group consisting of 25 teachers was formed by ensuring maximum diversity in the research. The teachers constituting the study group work in primary, secondary and secondary education institutions. The age of the students observed by the teachers varied between 7 and 17.

The aim of the research is to determine how Computed Tomography (CT) imaging services in hospitals have evolved with the COVID-19 epidemic and to evaluate whether hospitals provide this service with their own resources or through Outsourcing (OS) by making a cost-profitability analysis. The data of the study is obtained through document analysis. While the population of the research consists of a university hospital in Turkey, the sample consists of radiology clinical services and CT services. In the study, a profitability analysis is carried out by examining the income and expenses of the CT services provided by the hospital and the services provided through (OS) in 2019-2020. In the cost profitability analysis made for the CT service, an operating profit of 462,329.39 TL is obtained by 37% with the OS method for 2019, and a total operating profit of 492,715.52 TL is obtained by 48% for 2020. With the hospital's own CT device, an operating loss of 241,066.26 TL is detected by 240% for 2019, and an operating loss of 74,497.57 TL is determined by 30% for 2020. However, since 2020, the number of hospital's own CT device scans has increased by 179% due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Accordingly, while the income from CT services increased in 2020, the costs remained constant from a certain point, which significantly reduced the loss. Although it is concluded in the overall study that it is preferable for the hospital to apply to OS for CT service rather than its own means, in terms of profitability, in unexpected situations such as COVID-19, the service provided by the hospital with its own means may be important and necessary, even if it is at a loss.

Unforeseen uncertainties such as wars, financial crises, trade wars and the Covid-19 pandemic in recent years may cause countries to experience macroeconomic instability. Macroeconomic instabilities can affect the economic decisions of households and companies, thus causing a decrease in investments, suppression of economic growth, a decrease in international trade volume and deterioration of foreign trade balances. In this context, in this study, the impact of uncertainties on Turkey's trade balance was tried to be explained with the Markov Regime Change Model. The main purpose of the study is to explain how uncertainties affect Turkey's trade balance in both expansion and contraction regimes with this model. In the model, quarterly data for the period 1998q1-2020q4 was used. While the trade balance (export/import) is the dependent variable, the World Uncertainty Index and the real effective exchange rate are the independent variables. According to the results of the study, the world uncertainty index has a positive sign and is statistically significant in both the expansion regime and the contraction regime. It can be said that the increase in uncertainties in both regimes increases Turkey's trade balance. The real effective exchange rate was statistically insignificant in both regimes.

The COVID-19 pandemic emerged in Wuhan, China, towards the end of 2019 and affected the whole world. People who were confined to their homes for a long time due to the global pandemic, which caused many deaths in the world, connected with the outside world through their balconies. The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals' habits of using balconies at their homes. The survey prepared to determine the change in the balcony usage habits of people experiencing the pandemic period in Turkey in 2020-2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic was intense, was applied to 462 people and statistical analyzes were employed. According to the finding; approximately 81% of the participants stated that they spent time on the balcony during the pandemic period, 68% stated that the time spent on the balcony increased, 53% stated that they made changes to their balconies, and 54% stated that spending time on the balcony had a positive effect on the treatment process. 24% of the participants stated that the balconies of their residences were not large enough and comfortable and that they wanted to move to another residence with a balcony of sufficient size and comfort. In this study shows that having balconies of sufficient size and comfort in newly planned residences, the use of furniture on the balcony, and the production of ornamental plants will provide a great advantage in psychologically recovering from future epidemics and in establishing connections with the outdoors for people who have to stay in quarantine.

Objective: Risky exposure of healthcare workers to blood and body fluids is one of the most critical global issues. This study aimed to determine the frequency, conditions, and interventions of risky contacts and provide guidance on infection control measures to enhance occupational safety. Methods: Healthcare workers' risky contact with blood and body fluids was investigated from January 2013 to December 2022. The contact tracking forms for blood and body fluid exposures in the Infection Control Committee (ICC) were retrospectively examined. Furthermore, the effects of the regulatory activities implemented by the ICC on the problems detected during the active surveillance of risky contacts and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during the monitoring process were evaluated. Results: During the ten-year follow-up period, a total of 700 risky contacts were identified in 625 healthcare workers, with 643 (91.9%) resulting from needlestick and sharp injuries and 57 (8.1%) from skin and mucosal contact. Of the risky contacts, 262 (37.4%) occurred in internal medicine units, 171 (24.4%) in surgical units, and 112 (16%) in the emergency department, making these the most common locations for risky contacts. The most frequently reported occupational groups were, respectively, 267 (38%) interns, 185 (26%) nurses, and 173 (25%) cleaning staff. When evaluating how risky contacts occurred, it was determined that 215 (30.7%) occurred during invasive procedures, 108 (15.4%) while recapping the needle, and 528 (75%) resulted from needlestick injuries. It was determined that 13% of risky contacts applied to the ICC after 72 hours, and 79% used appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The highest rate of PPE usage, at 93%, was observed in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began. In 2013, it was observed that the most common risky contacts occurred during waste collection, and over the years, injuries during waste collection decreased with training. Although the source was unknown in 32% of risky contacts, a decrease in the rate of risky contacts with unknown sources was achieved over time. Out of 478 risky contacts with known sources, 71 (14.9%) occurred with patients infected with hepatitis B, 35 (7.3%) with hepatitis C, and seven (1.5%) with HIV. Ninety-six per cent of the nurses were exposed to risky contacts, 93% of interns, 87% of doctors, 56% of cleaning personnel, and 84% of other healthcare workers were immune to hepatitis B. After a one-year follow-up period with post-exposure prophylaxis, no healthcare worker developed hepatitis B or HIV infection, while one person was found to be anti-HCV positive. Conclusion: Needlestick-sharp object injuries remain a significant issue. All healthcare institutions must regularly monitor risky contacts with blood and bodily fluids, identify problems, develop targeted infection control measures, and plan periodic training.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate COVID-19 vaccine preferences among university students using a discrete choice experiment. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among university students. A questionnaire containing participants' sociodemographic characteristics and hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine choice sets was used. The mixed logit model was used to estimate students' preferences for different levels of vaccine attributes. Simulations of vaccine acceptance rates were calculated. Results: A total of 242 students participated in the study. 24.1% of the participants had a previous COVID-19 infection. 97.4% of the students had received a COVID-19 vaccine. Almost all of those who were vaccinated received two doses or more. 81.8% of them received the mRNA vaccine. The most frequent reasons for accepting vaccination were infection prevention and the belief that getting vaccinated is a societal responsibility to end the pandemic. 70.3% of the students agreed that COVID-19 vaccines were safe, while 89.2% agreed that vaccination contributed to herd immunity. According to the mixed logit model results, the most preferred attribute of the vaccine was effectiveness. Other attributes also affected the preferences of students in the following order of priority: frequency of severe side effects, reduction in transmission, duration of protection, origin, and type of the vaccine. Conclusion: These findings can guide low-risk groups to accept vaccination during a pandemic. In pandemic control, the importance of community participation and sharing up-to-date information on approaches to fighting pandemics, such as vaccines, should be prioritized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created a substantial public health problem for our country and the world. In this study, we aimed to investigate the problems experienced by pediatric patients with epilepsy during the pandemic period and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric patients with epilepsy. Material and Methods: Our study was applied as a cross-sectional survey study to patients who were followed up with a diagnosis of epilepsy in the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic between 01 December 2020-28 February 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Data from a total of 207 patients are presented in this study. The average age was 9.08 (5.08-13.08) years, the diagnosis age was 2.41 (0.91-6.08) years, and the epilepsy follow-up period was 4.33 (2.1- 7.2) years. 47.8% of the patients are girls. In this study, at least one family member of 23 (11.1%) cases was diagnosed with COVID-19, and 9 cases (4.3%) were hospitalized due to COVID-19. Considering the problems encountered by our patients, 61.8% (128 cases) of the families stated that they were hesitant about coming to the hospital, and 35.3% (73 cases) did not come for a follow-up examination. 17.9% (37 cases) state that they have problems accessing the hospital, and 27.1% (56 cases) state that they have problems accessing the doctor. Electroencephalogram recording was postponed during this period in 44 cases (21.3%). Nineteen cases (9.2%) stated that they had problems accessing medication, and 6 cases (2.9%) stated that they missed their medication. There was an increase in the seizure frequency in 13 cases (6.3%). Forty-nine cases (23.7%) had seizures during this period, and 22 cases (10.6%) were hospitalized due to seizures. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a substantial public health problem both in our country and around the world, and its effects still affect the whole world and our country. Even if epilepsy patients' routine outpatient clinic visits have been postponed during the pandemic period, they should be able to communicate with their physicians through methods other than face-to-face meetings in emergencies.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine online search behaviour related to vaccine adverse effects, side effects, harms, and safety that can be the main basis of vaccine hesitancy and common objections to vaccines in Türkiye during the COVID-19 vaccine development and vaccination efforts. Methods: It was aimed to determine the relative search volumes (RSV) on Google Trends data from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022, in order to identify internet searches related to the origins of hesitations and prevalent concerns about COVID-19 vaccines. Within this scope, search query logs were scrutinized, and four primary search categories were established: (1) queries containing general or specific terms related to the adverse effects and safety of COVID-19 vaccines, (2) queries containing the name or commercial identity of the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer and its safety, (3) queries containing the name or commercial identity of the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer and its side effects, (4) queries containing the name or commercial identity of the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer and its harm. Finally, these different search categories were evaluated in terms of RSV by country and region. Results: Throughout the entire pandemic, a consistent and significant increase in search interest regarding a coronavirus vaccine was observed in Türkiye, persisting at a consistently high level. The occurrence of peaks in search queries coincided with significant events including official declarations, prominent increases in the incidence of COVID-19 cases, and the announcement of noteworthy advancements in vaccine development. RSV curves pertaining to adverse events, side effects, and safety of COVID-19 vaccines exhibited distinct fluctuations during study time periods, while the RSV curve reflecting concerns about potential harm associated with COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated an overall upward. The form of RSV curves exhibited a remarkable resemblance to all provinces, excluding Bayburt. Moreover, the search interest in vaccines developed by various countries and pharmaceutical companies demonstrated a similar pattern. Interest in vaccine adverse effects was consistently the highest level (60%), followed by side effects (39%) and safety concerns (20%). Furthermore, in the course of the study period, the interval characterized by the highest magnitude of search queries and the occurrence of peak values was observed in June 2021, coinciding with the lifting of curfews. Conclusion: When considering the peak recorded in search queries in June 2021, it is thought that the dominant factor influencing search behavior could be the societal risk perception.
