In this study, we aim to analyze the relationship between the cultural intelligence and the feeling of compassion in the health staff. The universe of the research is composed of the health staff who service in a university hospital (n=925). The data of the research was collected with “Personal Information Form”, “The Cultural Intelligence Scale” and “The Compassion Scale”. Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test and Spearman Correlation Analysis were used for the statistical analysis. The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.895 for the cultural intelligence scale and to be 0.876 for the compassion scale, respectively. Based on the study, it was determined that the age average of the health staff was 31.15±6.99 and the average service period was 7.83±6.06. It was found that among the health staff 83% performed their job with enjoyed, 65.4% considered their performance effective and 93.4% perceived themselves compassionate. 80.2% of the health staff believes that they had cultural intelligence. According to the cultural intelligence scale, the average score of the health staff was calculated to be 96.54±18.43. This number was found to be 88.61±14.96 in the compassion scale. It was determined that there was a strong positive relationship (r=0.74) between the cultural intelligence and the feeling of compassion in the health staff. We believe that the health staff that has a cultural intelligence would evaluate the patients considering cultural para meters and thus be less judgmental and show more compassion. © 2022, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2021) Karaaslan, S.; Sahin, H.G.; Orhun, R.; Gunbatar, N.; Yeşilova, A.; Erden, C.T.
Investigating university students’ perceptions on the gender roles attributed to men and women in social contexts is highly important for promoting an egalitarian perspective to these gender roles for future generations. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of undergraduates majoring in midwifery and nursing in school of health on social gender roles. The universe of the cross-sectional study included all the 980 undergraduates enrolled in midwifery and nursing departments in school of health. of these, 648 students including 343 female and 305 male students who consented to participate in the study were included in the study, which accounted for 66.1% of the universe. Data were collected using a survey developed by the researchers. The results indicated that the students’ views regarding social gender equality were not sufficiently egalitarian and male students held more traditional views compared to female students, implicating that university students should not only be equipped with the basic knowledge of their profession but also their sensitivity for social gender equality should be raised. © 2021, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

(2006) Orhun, R.; Ayaz, E.
This study was performed in order to determine the prevalence of helminth infections among dogs and to emphasize the importance of this concept for public health. All selected dogs were from the city of Van and a total of 115 fecal samples were examined. Of these, 61 were from stray dogs, 26 were breeders and the final 28 dogs were dogs belonging to institutions. All samples were examined in the laboratory of the parasitology laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yuzuncu Yil University. Fulleborn's flotation method was used. Sixty nine (60.0%) of the dogs were found to be infected by one or more helminth species. Two Cestoda species and 4 Nematoda species were detected. Toxascaris leonina (23.5%), Taenia spp. (14.8%), Ancylostoma caninum (8.7%), Dipylidium caninum (3.5%), Uncinaria stenocephala (0.9%) and Toxocara canis (13.9%) were responsible for infections. Although the rates of infection between stray (59.0%) and official dogs (46.4%) was not significant, the rate was statistically significant according to Duncan's t-test ( < 0.05) in breeder dogs as compared to the previous 2 groups. The results show that helminth infection in dogs in Van is very high. The high prevalence of T. canis, Taenia spp., and A. caninum in dogs in Van is considered to be critical from the view point of public health importance. In conclusion, helminth infection of dogs is still a very serious problem for public health in Van.
Why Do Nursing and Midwifery Students Choose Their Profession in Turkey
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2019) Güner, Ş.İ.; Karaaslan, S.; Orhun, R.
This study was carried out in order to find out the opinions of nursing and midwifery students about their professions. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted on Health School students at Yuzuncu Yil University in 2014-2015 spring term. 473 voluntary students were included in the study (except the cases of absence, suspension of registration and non-voluntary students). The data were collected by the question form prepared by the researchers, and were evaluated in SPSS software with the application of percentage and chi-squared tests. It was found that the majority of our students have chosen the profession due to the ease in finding a job. It was also found that half of our students had a desire to change their professions. On the other hand, the ones who made their career choice in the light of strong reasons did not have such intentions. While most of our students (9 2.8%) knew their profession was taking major roles in treatment and aftercare periods, a significant proportion (42.5%) did not consider their professional status positively, and almost half of them (43.6%) stated that they believed their profession was no t well-known enough. Students stated that the education of nursing and midwifery needed to be given at the bachelor level (84.4%) and would like to specialize in branches of their profession. Students (87.9%) also were evaluated the participation of males to the profession positively. In the 21st century, employment is a major reason for profession selection and our students seem to have made their choice in accordance with this reality. It was determined that our students were aware of the responsibilities of their profession, but were affected by the negative public image of their professions. © 2019, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
