Consequently, millions of people experience serious injuries secondary to traffic accidents and live with long-term negative health consequences. The aim of this study is to find an answer to the question of what are the alcoholic driving behavior and related socio-behavioral factors in university students. Method: In the study, 2508 students selected by the stratified cluster sampling method among the students studying at the faculties and colleges in the central district of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University were collected with a 41-question questionnaire prepared by the researchers. The data related to traffic safety, substance use and some violent behaviors were selected for this article. Results: Smoking in drunk drivers rate (32.7%), hookah smoking rate (61.7%), alcohol use rate (25.2%), substance use rate (2.8%), physical fight in the last year to those who do not have a mixing ratio (26.2%), a weapon carrying ratio (15.3%) was significantly higher than those who did not. Discussion and conclusion: These findings suggest that showing risky behavior also triggers risky behaviors. Family Physicians also have a preventive health service role in matters such as traffic and security and should be developed.","PeriodicalId":22867,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Turkish Family Physician","volume":"5 1","pages":"135-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88768962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A questionnaire form consisting of 18 questions was applied as a face-to-face interview. Results: 192 students participated in the study.

While 45% of the participants (n=88) were staying with their family, 54.2% (n=104) were not with their families. Those of the female gender knew more about HPV. In addition, those who want to be HPV vaccinated for themselves, those who want to have her daughter HPV vaccinated, those who want to be HPV vaccinated even if it is paid, and those who want to be HPV vaccinated if it is paid by social security were found to be significantly different in female gender. No significant relationship was found between staying with the family and knowledge and attitudes. Conclusion: Our study was conducted among medical faculty students, and most of the participants had knowledge about HPV and cervical cancer. They had hesitations about HPV vaccine and vaccination.

Method: The research is of descriptive type. This research was conducted at a university hospital in the east of Turkey between dated July-August 2020. The population of the study was composed of all nurses working in the hospital. The sample consists of 193 nurses determined by power analysis. “Personal Information Form”, “Evidence‐Based Nursing Attitude Scale” and “Information Form for Preventing Peripheral Venous Catheter-Related Infection” were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used in data analysis. Correlation analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between scale scores. Results: In the study, it was determined that the total score average of the nurses in the Evidence‐Based Nursing Attitude Scale was 62.4 ± 9.6 and they have been found to have a high level of positive attitude towards evidence-based practice. The total score average of the information form for preventing infection associated with peri- pheral venous catheter was 3.88 ± 1.53 and the level of knowledge was low. In the study, it was determined that there was a quite weak and positive relationship between the Evidence‐Based Nursing Attitude Scale and nurses’ level of knowledge of peripheral venous catheter (r = .187, p <0.009).

In a study conducted on students of the Faculty of Medicine, it was found that 65% of students experience exam anxiety for various reasons and female students experience more exam anxiety than male. In the study conducted to determine the relationship between exam anxiety levels and sleep quality of highschool senior students, it was shown that students have exam anxiety and this situation negatively affects sleep qualty.
