    Are aquatic life sustainable with current policies? Microbial pollution in swimming seasons: A 12-year retrospective study on the bathing waters of Sinop, Turkey
    (Natl Inst Science Communication-Niscair, 2023) Demir, Gulcan
    The study aimed to examine the characteristics of the beaches of Sinop Province, monitor the faecal pollution trend in the years 2011 - 2022, examine its causes, comparison with studies conducted in Turkey, awareness of people regarding pollution in the seas, and the compatibility of the classification system of the Ministry of Health with the WHO. A total of 2503 samples collected from 29 beaches in Sinop Province during the years 2011 - 2022 were evaluated. Descriptive statistics like Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to summarize the data and concordance analyses was used to compare the groups. The highest microbial pollution in beach water was observed in 2020. When the source of pollution was examined for the cause, the most evident (40.0 %) was pollution from wild animals. When the microbial quality assessment of the World Health Organization for recreational waters and the assessment of the Ministry of Health were examined, it was found that there was a low-medium level of agreement. In some beaches of Sinop Province, certain indicators of bacteriological pollution have reached poor levels within twenty four day period from 2011 to 2022. In the follow-up of bathing waters, classification and measurements should be based on differences between provinces, prioritizing public health.

    Factors Affecting the Intervention of Health-Care Professionals in Radiological Events: A Systematic Review
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) Dag, Nihal; Caliskan, Cuneyt; Kocak, Huseyin; Demir, Gulcan; Celebi, Ismet
    This research aims to explore the factors affecting the intervention of health-care professionals regarding a radiological event and to determine what actions they cause. In line with the keywords determined, a search was conducted on Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed until March 2022. Eighteen peer-reviewed articles that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. This systematic review was conducted using the PICOS and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses)guidelines. Of the 18 studies included in the study, 8 were cross-sectional studies, 7 were descriptive studies, 2 were interventional studies, and 1 was a systematic review. As a result of the qualitative analysis, 7 factors affecting the intervention of health-care professionals in a radiological event were identified as follows: rarity of the event; inadequacy of health-care professionals against the radiological event; sensory responses; dilemma and ethical concern; communication, workload; and other factors. The most important factor affecting the intervention of health-care professionals in a radiological event is inadequate education about a radiological event, which influences the formation of other factors. These and other factors cause actions such as delayed treatment, death, and disruption of health services. Further studies are needed on the factors affecting the intervention of health-care professionals.

    Web search behaviors and infodemic attitudes regarding COVID-19 in Turkey: A framework study for improving response and informing policy on the COVID-19 infodemic
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2022) Caliskan, Cuneyt; Ozsezer, Gozde; Pay, Melek; Demir, Gulcan; Celebi, Ismet; Kocak, Huseyin
    ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop a framework regarding COVID-19 infodemic response and policy informing through focusing on infodemic concepts circulating on the online search engine in Turkey in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak and comparing the contents of these concepts with Maslow's hierarchy of needs and disaster stages. Materials and methodsThe universe of this descriptive epidemiological research consists of internet search activities on COVID-19 circulating online on Google Trends between March 10, 2020, when the first case was seen in Turkey, and June 01, 2020, when the lockdown restrictions were lifted. FindingsThere was no internet trend regarding a misinformed attitude within the given date range. While an infodemic attitude toward superficial attitude and racist attitude in the internet environment was detected for 1 week, an infodemic attitude toward definitive attitude was detected for 2 weeks. The non-infodemic concepts were more common than the other infodemic attitudes. The infodemic concepts were able to reach Maslow's physiological, safety, and social need levels. With the infodemic concepts obtained, a COVID-19 development process framework was developed. The framework consists of three domains (COVID-19, applications and outcomes), including disaster phases and health/social impacts, built on seven public health epochs. ResultsA systematized COVID-19 development process framework was modeled in order to conceptualize COVID-19 internet searches and to reveal the development processes and outcomes.
