Article The Effect of Compulsory Citizenship Behaviors on Subjective Vitality Among Nurses(Wiley, 2025) Elibol, Esengul; Yildiz, Bora; Seren, Arzu Kader HarmanciAim The study aims to assess the extent of compulsory citizenship behaviors (CCBs) and their impact on the nurses' subjective vitality based on self-determination theory. Background CCBs are harmful to both nurses and organizations. These behaviors mean employees are expected to perform additional tasks outside their job descriptions. Although CCBs are highlighted within the recent nursing literature, empirical evidence of their effects is lacking. Methods This is descriptive cross-sectional research. The study included 244 staff nurses using a convenience sampling method who worked in two hospitals in Istanbul. Data were collected via a survey consisting of a personal information form, the compulsory citizenship scale, and the subjective vitality scale. STROBE guidelines were followed when reporting the study. Descriptive statistical analyses, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA test, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical simple linear regression analyses were used. Results The participants' mean scores for compulsory citizenship and subjective vitality were 3.34 out of 5 (SD = 1.05) and 4.15 out of 7 (SD = 1.36), respectively. Nurses' compulsory citizenship scores significantly differed according to their education level, income, and sector. Their subjective vitality scores statistically differed according to their income levels. Regression analysis revealed that CCBs were significant negative predictors of subjective vitality (beta = -0.22, p < 0.01). Conclusion By examining the CCBs and subjective vitality relationship, the current study extended the existing knowledge by drawing attention to the destructive and harmful effects of CCBs on positive psychological sources of nurses' subjective vitality. CCBs negatively predicted subjective vitality. Clinical Relevance Organizational factors such as CCBs, which leads to a lack of autonomy, affect nurses' well-being, thus affecting care quality and patient safety. As the International Council of Nurses mentioned, "Nurses cope with many physical, mental, emotional, and ethical challenges. It is essential that we address these challenges in a way that supports their overall health". In this regard, managers and policymakers in hospitals should develop preventive cautions for CCBs. However, in-service training activities should be carried out to increase awareness about the harmful effects of CCBs on nurses' psychological well-being.Article Investigation of Behavioral and Emotional Characteristics of Children With Vocal Nodules(Elsevier Inc., 2025) Paltura, C.; Işık, E.E.Objective: Although physiological and medical factors play a role in the formation of vocal nodules (VNs), in recent years, personality tendencies and related behavioral characteristics have been reported to be among the contributing factors. In this study, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to compare the emotional and behavioral problems of children with VNs and healthy children with normal voices. Methods: In this descriptive comparative study, 55 parents of children aged 4–17 years who presented to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic with dysphonia, underwent videolaryngostroboscopic imaging and were diagnosed with VN and 55 parents of healthy children who presented to the ENT clinic in the same period and were not diagnosed with any voice disorder participated. Parents completed the SDQ to screen for behavioral and emotional problems. Results: The study included 55 children with VN (37 boys and 18 girls) and 55 healthy children with normal voice (30 boys and 25 girls). The two groups did not differ significantly in terms of age (P > 0.05). The groups differed statistically significantly in terms of emotional, behavioral problems, attention deficit and hyperactivity, peer problems, social behaviors subscales and total difficulty score (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of the study show that children with VN should be evaluated from a behavioral perspective. It is thought that the inclusion of the behavioral perspective in the evaluation process may be useful for more comprehensive and accurate planning of the intervention program. © 2025 The Voice Foundation
