Article Investigating the Personal and Professional Variables That Predict Discrimination Attitudes Among Nurses and Physicians(Wiley, 2025) Tekin, Suat; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderIntroduction: Healthcare professionals are expected to provide holistic care to their patients without discrimination based on factors such as religion, language, age, gender, and race. Design: It is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Aim: The study aimed to examine the discriminatory attitudes of nurses and physicians working in hospitals in Sanliurfa and to define whether the personal and professional variables predict discriminatory attitudes among them. Methods: The STROBE reporting method, which is one of the EQUATOR guidelines, was followed. Data were collected from a total of 376 physicians and nurses through online platforms between March and June 2020 via the information form and the Discrimination Attitude Scale. Results: The discriminatory attitudes of the nurses and physicians participating in the study were above average. The total discriminatory attitudes scores of the participants varied according to sex, income levels, profession, hospital experience, and unit (p < 0.05). In addition, sex, profession and unit variables predicted the total discriminatory attitudes of nurses and physicians (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Although nurses' and physicians' discriminatory attitudes scores were generally higher, the highest mean score was in the subscale "discrimination against other nationalities." Sex, profession, and unit variables predicted the total discriminatory attitudes of nurses and physicians. Further quantitative and qualitative research is needed to understand the reasons for the highest discriminatory attitudes towards other nationalities among healthcare professionals, to overcome this issue. Clinical Relevance: Nursing or healthcare managers, as well as policymakers, may consider the predictive variables when staffing and training nurses and physicians working in similar regions and conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22The Earthquakes in Turkey and Their Effects on Nursing and Community Health(Wiley, 2023) Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Dikec, Guel; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderBackgroundSevere damage was experienced in 10 provinces in Turkey, and the north of Syria, with the earthquakes that hit Kahramanmaras at midnight and afternoon on February 6, 2023. AimThe authors aimed to give brief information to the international nursing community about the situation related to earthquakes in the aspects of nurses. ConclusionThese earthquakes caused traumatic processes in the affected regions. Many people, including nurses and other healthcare professionals, died or were injured. The results demonstrated that the required preparedness had not been applied. Nurses went to these areas voluntarily or on assignment and cared for individuals with injured. The universities in the country passed to distance education because of the shortage of safe places for victims. This situation also negatively influenced nursing education and clinical practice by interrupting in-person education one more time after the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications for nursing and nursing policySince the outcomes show a need for well-organized health and nursing care, policymakers may consider getting nurses' contributions to the disaster preparedness and management policy-making processes.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13The Relationship Between Nurses' Personality Traits and Their Perceptions of Management by Values, Organizational Justice, and Turnover Intention(Wiley, 2022) Altuntas, Serap; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Alacam, Burcu; Baykal, Ulku; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderPurpose To determine the relationship between nurses' personality traits and their perceptions of management by values, organizational justice, and turnover intention. Design and Methods It was a descriptive study. A demographic questionnaire, the big five personality scale, the organizational justice scale, the management by values scale, and the turnover intention scale were used to collect data. Findings Data analysis did not demonstrate any relationship between nurses' personality traits and their perceptions of management by values, organizational justice, and turnover intention. However, results of regression analysis concluded that perceptions of management by values affected the nurses' perceptions of organizational justice positively. Practice Implications Nurses' perceptions of organizational justice can be raised and turnover intention may be reduced by improving their perceptions of management by values.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Psychometric Properties of the Gender Role Attitudes Scale Among Turkish Nursing Students and Factors Affecting Their Attitudes(Wiley, 2022) Celebi Cakiroglu, Oya; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderPurpose This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Gender Roles Attitudes Scale-Turkish Version (GRAS-TR) and evaluate nursing students' gender role attitudes. Design and Methods This was a psychometric and descriptive study. The sample consisted of 916 nursing students at two state universities in Turkey. Findings The content validity index of the scale was 0.89. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the fit indices were acceptable/good. Test-retest results and Cronbach alpha coefficient showed that the scale has high reliability. Nursing students scored above midlevel from GRAS-TR. Practice Implications GRAS-TR is a valid and reliable instrument. Nursing students who were women, had postgraduate education, few siblings, and were not born/raised in the eastern region had a more egalitarian attitude.
