Purpose: The study aims to evaluate a range of financial performance indicators calculated through structural, operational, and HVI measures for public hospitals in the Turkish healthcare sector using various decision tree algorithms. Methodology: The study comprises threa phases. In the first phase, financial ratios were calculated from the hospitals' financial statements using the ratio analysis method. In the second phase, these ratios were used to calculate the HVI. In the third phase, the selected operational and financial indicators were analyzed with decision tree algorithms. The ID3, C4.5 and CART decision tree algorithms and AUC were used for predicting operational and financial indicators and performance assessment of decision trees.Findings: It has been observed that decision trees created using the ID3 algorithm exhibit higher performance compared to other algorithms (AUC = 0.93). According to the results of the study, the number of beds significantly predicts the operational and financial performance of public hospitals and can be explained by the hospital scale. In addition, a strong relationship was found between operational and financial performance indicators with training status.Originality: The study is original in demonstrating the effectiveness of the ID3 decision tree algorithm in predicting the performance of public hospitals.

The research was conducted to measure the effects of transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and laissez-faire leadership on workplace conflict. “Convenience sampling method” was used in the research. Survey technique was used to collect research data. Within the scope of the research, 406 valid surveys were collected from healthcare professionals who work in public and private hospitals in Gaziantep and do not have administrative duties. “Partial Least Squares” (PLS) and “Structural Equation Modeling” (SEM) were conducted to examine the theoretical hypotheses proposed between transformational, transactional, laissez-faire leadership and workplace conflict. According to the results of the structural equation model, it was concluded that inspirational motivation, idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, which are transformational leadership subdimensions, have negative effects on cognitive and relational conflict. The research also concluded that contingent reward, one of the transactional leadership sub-dimensions, has a negative effect on cognitive and relational conflict. In addition, it was concluded that the other sub-dimensions of transactional leadership, management by exception-active and management by exception-passive have a positive effect on cognitive and relational conflict. Finally, the study concluded that the laissez-faire leadership style does not have any effect on cognitive and relational conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In addition, the Personal Growth Initiative Scale translated into Turkish had internal consistency. When the findings were examined, the participants' mean Personal Growth Initiative Scale score was 77.25-10.24 (min: 39.00; max: 95.00). The Personal Growth Initiative Scale, translated into Turkish, was determined to be a valid and reliable measurement tool in the research population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry globally and is considered a strategic investment area by many countries. Public health institutions, particularly in countries like Turkey, play a significant role in the development of medical tourism. Identifying the challenges faced in this sector is critical for its sustainable growth. This research aims to confidently identify and prioritize challenges related to the implementation of medical tourism in a Training and Research Hospital. Through the identification of 12 criteria, strategic recommendations will be developed to increase the potential of medical tourism. Data was collected from 10 healthcare professionals working in various units and professional groups in the field of medical tourism at the relevant hospital using a semi-structured interview form. The collected data was confidently analyzed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) steps. Primary barriers to medical tourism in public hospitals include the hospital's image, availability of foreign language-speaking healthcare professionals, and the hospital's advertising and promotional activities. Research findings support this assertion. In this context, policymakers must consider the research results and implement comprehensive policies for social media, social networks, and related areas, especially regarding promotional and marketing activities. Furthermore, healthcare professionals must be strongly encouraged to learn a foreign language, and studies must be conducted to make arrangements for these staffs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of patients on the concept of patient-friendliness in the provision of health services in hospitals and some variables that affect it. The population of the study consists of individuals over the age of 18 who have benefited from health services from any health institution in the last year, and the sample consists of 386 participants who volunteered to participate in the survey. Patient-Friendly Scale and Personal Information Form were used to collect the data of the study. T test and ANOVA test were used in the analysis of the data. There is a significant difference between the preferred hospital type in terms of trust and compassionate communication. There is a difference in the dimension of compassionate communication compared to the public hospital in individuals' preference for a private hospital. Individuals who prefer university hospitals have a higher level of trust than those who prefer public hospitals. The patient-friendliness of the hospitals in the provision of health services is significant in the hospital preference of the individuals. Considering that individuals take into account certain criteria in choosing a hospital while receiving health care, it is concluded that their level of knowledge and awareness about health care has increased. Although public hospitals are more preferred, it is seen that they do not meet the needs of individuals in terms of compassionate communication and trust. It can be concluded that patients focus more on the quality of health services rather than the duration of health care provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
