The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of what human relations mean for school principals. The following questions were examined in the present study: "On what bases are human relations established by school principals both inside and outside the school?" and "Which meaning patterns are apparent in these relations?" Conducted in phenomenological design, the sample consisted of 51 school principals, who were working in the selected from 19 provinces, including at least one province from each of the 26 sub-regions of 2nd level classification, which was determined by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK). Data indicated two bases on which human relations actualized: sympathetic and political bases. On sympathetic basis, patterns of meaning such as constructing belonging, building trust, building motivation, accessibility, consultation and restorative approach emerged; however, on political basis, patterns of meaning as acceptance, providing role balance, exceeding the form, authority representation and elimination of financial needs became visible.

This study aims to determine the main problems faced in administration by the school principals of kindergartens, primary, secondary and high schools, stemming from teachers, school personnel other than teachers, students, parents, etc.; and to identify the solutions proposed for these main problems. The research is a qualitative research modeled in the screening model and case study. Study group of the research consisted of 12 school principals selected through maximum sampling method, and working in state kindergartens, primary, secondary and high schools in the central district of Siirt in 2017-2018 school year. Research data was analysed through descriptive analysis and content analysis by utilizing semi-structured interview method. According to the research results, it was found out that school principals face with problems such as "teachers' disregard and negligence of their tasks, low qualifications of the school personnel other than teachers, disobedience to school and classroom rules by the students, accusatory and biased attitudes of the parents, under-allocation of funds to schools". Moreover, it was determined that in relation to these main problems, school principals suggested to "introduce a payment system based on performance and career, to outsource cleaning services, to make home visits to meet the parents, to organize guidance and training activities for parents, and to allocate a separate budget for each school", as solutions proposed.

This study delves deeply into the impact of parents' childhood experiences on their current parenting attitudes and behaviors from a life course perspective. The primary objective of the study is to understand how individuals' experiences during their own childhood shape their parenting approaches. In this context, a qualitative methodology was adopted, utilizing a semi-structured interview form as the data collection tool. The interviews aim to comprehensively reveal the participants' past experiences, their practices in parenting roles, and their attitudes toward their children. The research was conducted with the participation of 23 parents with various demographic characteristics. The study focuses on how the emotional and behavioral legacies inherited from the participants' childhoods shape their own parenting approaches and how these legacies are transmitted to their children. By evaluating both positive and negative childhood experiences, the research highlights how these experiences influence parenting styles. The findings suggest that positive childhood experiences help parents adopt supportive and reassuring attitudes towards their children, whereas negative experiences prompt parents to be more conscious and avoid restrictive behaviors. Specifically, the study reveals that parents who experienced pressure and restrictions during their own childhoods strive to provide a more liberating environment for their children. These results underscore the importance of considering parents' childhood experiences in parenting interventions and highlight the significance of these experiences in shaping parenting practices.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of hearing, balance, language and speech skills of parents of children aged 3--12 years with hearing loss with and without special needs. Method: The Parental Awareness Screening Scale for Hearing, Balance, Language and Speech Skills in Children with Hearing Loss (PASBSS) was used. The scale was administered to parents face-toface and online and data were collected. The scale is a 5-point Likerttype scale consisting of a total of 21 questions. Statistical analyses were performed with IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program version 21.0. Results: When parental awareness in terms of speech-language skills was compared, it was concluded that 63.2% of parents with children with special needs and 90.9% of those without special needs had high awareness. 81.8% of parents of children with special needs and 90.9% of those without special needs had high auditory awareness. In balance awareness, which is another subheading, 36.4% of parents with children with special needs and 63.6% of those without special needs have high awareness. Again, 63.6% of the parents with children with special needs and 63.6% of those without stated that they provided parental support. A significant difference (p=0.005) was found in the last subheading, parents' recognition of symptoms, and it was found that none of the parents of children with special needs and 63.6% of those without special needs had high awareness. Conclusion: A significant difference (p=0.005) was found in the two groups in terms of parents' awareness of symptoms in their children with and without children with special needs with hearing loss. There is a need to increase the awareness of parents in all developmental areas of their children for the development of children with hearing loss, especially children with special needs. In addition, for each developmental stage, the relevant specialist and the parent should be in cooperation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Father involvement is very important in the prenatal period as well as in the postnatal period. Nowadays, it is seen that fathers-to-be's desire to participate in the pregnancy period and their presence at birth are increasing. Studies in the literature have pointed out the positive effects of fathers' involvement in the pregnancy and childbirth process on children and parents by supporting the physical and psychological health of the mother. However, considering the fact that there are many factors that limit prenatal father involvement at the individual, familial, and contextual levels, there are still areas remaining to be revealed in this issue. Therefore, the current review paper aimed to present a basic framework about the effects of fathers' involvement in the pregnancy and childbirth process on children and parents and the factors affecting their participation. Focusing on prenatal fatherhood may contribute to intervention programs that will be developed especially on parenting [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to develop a scale to assess parents' gender stereotypes towards children and to examine the psychometric properties of this scale. The research was conducted with two different parent samples (N = 597 and N = 306). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified a total of 25 items under four different dimensions for girls and boys. Parents' expectations of their sons and daughters are divided into prescriptive and proscriptive in the context of gender stereotypes. The validity and reliability of the scale were supported by the conducted analyses. In this context, the scale emerges as a significant tool for understanding parental gender-based expectations for girls and boys in daily life and investigating the relationship of these expectations with the developmental process.

The aim of this study is to understand and deepen the needs of families and schools with mentally disabled children in forming social relationships, and to evaluate the perceptions of parents regarding the roles they assume in the socialization of their mentally disabled children. This qualitative research utilized semi-structured interviews as a data collection tool, conducting interviews with a total of five parents. These interviews have identified significant details of experiences. The research was conducted in Ankara in May 2018. The sampling used in the research is snowball sampling. Five parents of children with disabilities participated in the study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with individuals using a semi-structured interview form. In-depth interviews with parents lasted 40-50 minutes on average. A voice recorder was used during the interviews. The voice recordings obtained as a result of the interviews within the scope of the research were transcribed. The data collected with the semistructured interview form were subjected to descriptive analysis and then thematic coding was performed. Among the results obtained, it was found that there is a need to integrate children into daily social activities within the family, as children spend most of their time with their families or at school. The need for responding to negative situations, managing emotions, and resolving conflicts in schools is clearly visible. Occasionally, mentally disabled children may exhibit aggressive behaviors that do not facilitate their relationships with peers at school. As a conclusion of the study, it has been determined that families need to implement parenting practices that promote socialization habits. For example, it has been observed that communication that starts within family interactions, such as asking politely, expressing gratitude, discussing, and sharing with other people around, will be beneficial. In schools, there is a necessity for teachers to work closely and complementarily with families and to empower children in negotiation and mediation for the peaceful resolution of conflicts. In addition, it was determined that it is important that not only parents and the school environment but also the socio-cultural environment in which children with intellectual disabilities live should be sufficiently conscious, knowledgeable and sensitive about disability in researching the social interactions of children with intellectual disabilities, and it was emphasized that the policies to be created by both official and voluntary non-governmental organizations are important in this interaction.

Having a mentally disabled child places a significant economic burden on them. Suppose mentally disabled individuals and their parents do not have sufficient income and financial means to continue their lives. In that case, they can rely on socially charitable treatments and somehow be the recipient of philanthropic treatments. In this research, which aims to evaluate whether society approaches disabled individuals and their families as aid objects or rights-based in terms of philanthropy, and to reveal whether the parents' approach on this issue is different from the society, the relationship between disabled individuals and their parents and their philanthropic approaches is discussed. Using the qualitative research method in the study, in-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted with a semi-structured interview form with 39 mothers and 1 father who had a mentally disabled child and were receiving Special Rehabilitation training in the Kemalpaşa district of Izmir. As a result of the research, it was determined that parents of disabled children accepted and welcomed the help provided by individuals, institutions, and non-governmental organizations and felt grateful to the people who provided the help. As a result, this situation caused them to objectify themselves and be stigmatized by the society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

İktisadi yapıdaki değişimlerle bütünleşen teknoloji, iletişimi değiştirmekte ve geliştirmektedir. Anne ve babaların çocuklarının ilgi alanlarına yönelik içerikler üreterek sosyal medyanın bir parçası haline geldikleri gözlemlenmektedir. YouTube çocuk kanallarını yöneten ebeveynlerin sosyo-kültürel yaşamlarının da bu çerçevede şekillendiği söylenebilir. Bu çalışma, YouTube çocuk kanallarında, anne ve baba rollerinin eğlence ve tüketim olgularının etkisiyle beraber nasıl birer magazinsel eyleme dönüştüğünü ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada yeni medya ile ilgili metinler arası okuma yapılarak, magazinleşme ve eğlence kültürü ile yeni medya ilişkisini çözümlemek amacıyla literatür taraması yapılmıştır. İkinci aşamada kotalı örneklem alma tekniği ile seçilmiş olan YouTube çocuk kanallarındaki içerikler (Like Nastya TR, Aslıyarence ve Korayzeynep) önce nicel, ardından nitel içerik analizine (göstergebilim) tabi tutulmuştur. Videolar, IBM SPSS 22 programı kullanılarak tablolaştırılmıştır. Ardından seçilen videolar nitel içerik analizi (göstergebilim) yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın üçüncü aşamasında ise 13 yaş altında çocuğu bulunan 15 ebeveyn ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş ve bu görüşmeler betimsel analiz tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda YouTube çocuk kanalları kullanıcısı ebeveynlerin eğlence ve tüketim odaklı magazinsel eylemde bulundukları gözlemlenmiştir. Ebeveynlerle gerçekleşen görüşmelerden oluşan izlenim sonrası ise izleyici konumunda bulunan çocuklarının olumsuz etkilendiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Introduction: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of long-term drug use due to medical diseases on rational drug use in children, using data obtained from parents. It is a cross-sectional study.Methods: Among the 288 parents who applied to the pediatric outpatient clinics of Muğla Training and Research Hospital between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022; 144 people with children aged 0-12 who have a chronic disease and have been using regular medication for at least three months are included in the research group, 144 people who did not have a chronic disease and did not use medication constantly were determined as the control group. In addition to the form containing sociodemographic data and questions to evaluate rational drug use awareness, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, the "Parental Attitude Scale For Rational Drug Use (PASRDU)" was answered through a face-to-face interview. Data analysis was conducted with SPSS 26 program with a confidence level of 95%. Parental Attitude Scale For Rational Drug Use scores showed normal distribution in both groups. Independent samples t-test was used to compare Parental Attitude Scale For Rational Drug Use scores according to groups, a chi-square test was used to compare the relationship between groups and categorical (grouped) variables, and a two-way ANOVA test was used to compare demographic characteristics and group variables according to Parental Attitude Scale For Rational Drug Use scores.Results: Of the parents participating in the study, 67.71% were mothers and 32.29% were fathers. The average age was 34.88±6.44 years in the research group and 33.57±6.57 years in the control group. The rates of having chronically ill individuals at home and individuals constantly using medication at home are higher in the research group and are statistically significant. While the presence of leftover or spare medication at home was be similar in the research and control groups, the rate of using these medications when necessary was 45.8% in the research group and 56.3% in the control group. While 43.1% of those in the research group did not give over-the-counter medicine to their children, this rate was 16% in the control group. The control group uses over-the-counter vitamins twice as much as the research group. The most commonly used over-the-counter medication in the entire population is antipyretics with a rate of 44.79%. The scores of the research group in Parental Attitude Scale For Rational Drug Use and its subscales are higher than the control group and are statistically significant. The place of residence for the longest time, educational level, having too much medication at home, and using non-prescription medication statistically affect the scores. In addition, the duration of the disease of the children in the research group significantly affected the Parental Attitude Scale For Rational Drug Use total score and the Accurate and Conscious Use subscale, and the disease group significantly affected the Effective and Safe Use subscale score.Conclusion: According to our research, long-term use of medication in children due to medical illness affects rational drug use. Accurate and current information is required in the preparation and use of drugs used in children due to the change in dosage and pharmaceutical form depending on age. In addition, herbal products and food supplements are also used during childhood. Therefore, the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of healthcare professionals and parents affect children’s health. As studies on rational drug use in different regions in our country increase, more detailed and separate planning can be made for drugs used in childhood while preparing education and policies for rational drug use.

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the emotional and behavioral projections of the experience of having an alcohol/substance addicted sibling. For this purpose, while the qualitative research method was preferred in the study; Face-to-face and online interviews were conducted with a total of 13 participants who have the characteristics of being the siblings of the addicted individual, and a total of 48 codings were made on the data obtained, and these codings were combined under 3 main themes and analyzed by descriptive analysis method. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that addicted siblings experience negative emotions, they are faced with some risk factors because they live in the same household with the addict, they take some precautions and plan their lives on the axis of addiction. It has been understood these people can assume the role of parents in the family and they can act as intermediaries between their siblings and parents. In the studies conducted with alcohol/substance addicts, it is thought that the inclusion of older brothers/sisters in the process is important in terms of maintaining a healthy household order.

Introduction: Health literacy has become an increasingly popular study subject with the relationship between individuals'efficient use of health services and the decrease in health expenditures.Since parents are in a decision-making position not only on their health but also on their children's health, parents' health literacy levels have great importance. There are studies in the literature that examine the relationship between parents' health literacy,children's ages and the outpatient clinics their children apply to, and the health literacy levels of adults. To our knowledge,our study is the first study in which the age range of children and the outpatient clinics they applied to were evaluated without limitations. Our study, it was aimed to evaluate the factors related to parents and their children that may affect the health literacy levels of parents. Materials and Methods: One of the parents of 360 children aged 0-18 who applied to the outpatient clincs of KSU Health Practice and Research Hospital was included in our study. Parents who voluntarily participated in the study were asked to fill out a 73 question questionnaire including a sociodemographic form and a TSOY-32 scale. The sociodemographic and clinical data of the parents, their scores on the TSOY-32 scale and their health literacy levels were compared. Statistical analysis of the data was made with the SPSS 22.0 package program. Results: In our study, the mean age of the parents was found to be 34.95±7.39 years. The mean TSOY-32 general index score is 32.62±10.3, and it is in the problematic-limited health literacy category in line with the literature. A significant difference was found between the age, education level, occupation,income status, number of households, number of children, age of the accompanying child, and the health literacy levels of the parents. Conclusion: Consistent with the literature,a significant difference was found between the ages, education levels, occupations of the parents, and the health literacy levels and general index scores of the parents. Improving the ealth literacy levels of parents will contribute to the correct management of children's acute and chronic diseases, efficient use of health services, and reducing per capita health expenditure. In this direction, it is thought that besides the studies that can be done to increase the health literacy levels of the society, it will be beneficial to organize public service announcements and training, especially targeting parents.

Objective:The aim of this study was to conduct a cultural adaptation study of the Infant Sleep Scale for Parents (ISS-P).Materials and Methods:The research was conducted methodologically at Family Health Centers in Bulanık district of Muş between March and May 2022. The study sample consisted of 352 parents with a 12-month-old infant who met the research criteria and volunteered to participate in the research on the specified dates. The questionnaire form and ISS-P were used in collecting research data.Results:The scale consisted of 11 items and 3 sub-dimensions: “Sleep routines”, “sleep autonomy”, and “screen media in the sleep environment”. The content validity index of the scale items was 0.97. The Kaiser-Meyer Olkin value of the scale was 0.73, Bartlett’s test X2=754.652. p=0.001. The fit index values for confirmatory factor analysis were found as “X2/standard deviation 1.435, goodness of fit index (GFI) 0.948, adjusted GFI 0.917, comparative fit index 0.975, root mean square residual (RMR) 0.033 RMSEA 0.048, standardized RMR 0.0423, normed fit index (NFI) 0.924, Tucker-Lewis index 0.967, incremental fit index 0.976, parsimony GFI 0.589, and parsimony NFI 0.689”. The total Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.73. The mean score of the parents from ISS-P was 2.44±0.47.Conclusion:The ISS-P Turkish version can be used as a valid and reliable scale.
