This study investigates the relationship between primary school teachers’ fear of the new type of coronavirus (COVID-19) and their subjective well-being. The research was carried out with the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The participants of the employee survey consist of 224 primary school teachers who were teaching in public primary schools in Istanbul in the 2020–2021 academic year and were determined by the convenience sampling method. In the study, the data were obtained with the COVID-19 and subjective well-being scales. Simple linear regression analysis and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data obtained in the study. According to the research findings, it was determined that there are significant relationships between the fear of having COVID-19 and subjective well-being. In addition, it was found that fear of having COVID-19 was a significant predictor of subjective well-being.

Background: The aim of this study was to provide insight into the real-life clinical presentation and outcomes of the elderly presenting with acute myocardial infarction from the Turkish Myocardial Infarction registry database. Methods: TURKMI was a nationwide, multicenter, observational, 15-day snapshot registry conducted to address the management of acute myocardial infarction patients admitted to percutaneous intervention-capable hospitals. The present analysis included the comparison of consecutively enrolled acute myocardial infarction patients aged >= 75 and = 75 years. Elderly patients were more likely to have hypertension and renal failure and less likely to have hypercholesterolemia. Elderly patients were admitted to hospitals almost 1 hour later mainly due to a late call to emergency medical service. At discharge, medical therapies were significantly less prescribed to the elderly. The proportion of patients undergoing coronary angiography was significantly lower in elderly (81.8% vs. 96.4%, P < .001). Both in-hospital and 1-year mortality were significantly higher in elderly patients (9.1% vs. 2.7% and 22.7% vs. 5.8%, P < .001 respectively). The adjusted risk of 1-year mortality was 4-fold in elderly (hazard ratio and 95% CI 4.0 [2.9-5.6], P < .001). In multivariate analysis, every 5-beat/min increase in heart rate increased mortality by 7%. Higher heart rate and use of antiplatelet agents on admission were predictors of mortality in elderly. Conclusion: In real-life settings, elderly patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction are prone to prolonged total ischemic time and are subjected to less-intensive medical treatment and interventional approaches. Besides age, the increased heart rate could be the major determinant of mortality.

Bu araştırmanın amacı öğretmen adaylarının Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu’ya atanmaya ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışma durum çalışması deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın katılımcıları 2020-2021 öğretim yılında eğitim fakültesinde öğrenim gören 10 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Öğretmen adaylarının, iklim şartları, ulaşım, sosyo-kültürel farklılıklar, güvenli kalacak yer, okulun sahip olduğu imkânlar, eğitsel materyallere ulaşım, internet, yaşanabilecek dil sorunları, ebeveynlerin ilgisizliği, terör olayları gibi konularda da kaygı yaşadıkları belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar dikkate alındığında öğretmen adaylarının eğitim sürecinde doğu ve güneydoğuya atanma konusunda bilgilendirilmeleri önerilmektedir.

İlkokul 4. ve ortaokul 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin psikolojik sağlamlıkları ile duygusal ve psikolojik iyi oluşlukları arasındaki ilişkinin tespit edilmesi amacıyla yapılan bu araştırmanın yöntemi ilişkisel taramadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2018-2019 eğitim-öğretim yılında İstanbul Beylikdüzü, Esenyurt, Esenler, Avcılar, Güngören ve Zeytinburnu ilçelerinde bulunan devlet okullarında öğrenimine devam eden toplam 741 ilkokul 4. ve ortaokul 5. sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada verilerin elde edilmesinde “Çocuklar ve Gençler İçin Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği ve “Stirling Çocuklar için Duygusal ve Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde t testi, F testi (ANOVA) Basit Doğrusal Regresyon ve Korelasyon (Pearson Momentler Çarpımı-r) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, öğrencilerinin duygusal ve psikolojik iyi oluşlukları ile psikolojik sağlamlıkları arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişkinin olduğu ve duygusal ve psikolojik iyi oluşluğun psikolojik sağlamlığın anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca erkek öğrencilerin kız öğrencilere göre psikolojik sağlamlıklarının daha yüksek olduğu; arkadaşı olmanın ve aile yanında kalmanın ise duygusal ve psikolojik iyi oluşluğu olumlu etkilediği son olarak kardeş sayısının psikolojik iyi oluş ve psikolojik sağlamlık üzerinde etkili olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır., The method of this study, which was conducted to determine the relationship between the psychological resilience and emotional and psychological well-being of primary school 4th and middle school 5th grade students, is the relational screening. The sample of the study consists of 741 primary school 4th and middle school 5th grade students who continue their education in public schools in Istanbul Beylikdüzü, Esenyurt, Esenler, Avcılar, Güngören and Zeytinburnu districts in the 2018-2019 academic year. The sample of the study was determined with the easily accessible sampling method. "Psychological Resilience Scale for Children and Youth and" Emotional and Psychological Well-being Scale for Stirling Children "were used to obtain data in the study. T test, F test (ANOVA) Simple Linear Regression and Correlation (Pearson's Product of Moments-r) were used to analyze the data obtained in the study. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that there is a positive relationship between the emotional and psychological well-being of the students and their psychological resilience and that emotional and psychological well-being is a significant predictor of psychological resilience.
