The data were collected from 83 specialist nurses working at university hospital in November and December 2019. A nine-item questionnaire was used to assess demographic characteristics of the nurses, their specializations, workplaces, and the compatibility of their areas of expertise. Results: It was determined that the largest group of specialist nurses (24.1%) were in the field of surgery, and the fewest were specialists in nursing education (2.4%) and public health (2.4%). The specialists in nursing principles, surgery, internal medicine, and nursing management predominantly had managerial roles.

(Association of Executive Nurses, 2021) Kaya, A.; Seren, A.K.H.
The term “media” used to explain the mass media provides the transmission of messages and information regarding the society. According to the researches, media has an important power in influencing the masses in terms of public interests and policies. By addressing the media as a priority, through individual or professional organizations, nurses can be effective in exposing the profession’s image in the media and policy issues affecting the profession. A more consistent approach to presenting nursing research to the public and using the media for this purpose will enable the public to perceive nursing as it is and support the use of research. In this review, basic knowledge tried to be provided by the nurses about what to do through the media and, the actions taken in the media related to the novel coronavirus disease which emerged first at the end of 2019 in Wuhan Province of China and in March 2020 in Turkey, were examined. © 2021 SHYD.
