Article Why Do Nurses Transfer from Private Hospitals to Public Hospitals in Turkiye? A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Survey Study Considering Working Conditions, Compulsory Citizenship, Presenteeism, and Burnout(Wiley, 2025) Turan, Suzan; Seren, Arzu K. Harmanci; Harmanci Seren, Arzu K.This study investigates the reasons behind the transition of nurses from private hospitals to public hospitals in Turkiye, focusing on working conditions, compulsory citizenship behavior, presenteeism, and burnout. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The sample consisted of 224 nurses who previously worked in private hospitals and were employed in public hospitals at the time of data collection. Researchers collected data via a questionnaire incorporating demographic questions and validated scales on compulsory citizenship behavior, presenteeism, and burnout. Parametric and nonparametric comparison tests were used to compare participants' experiences in private and public hospitals regarding working conditions. There were statistically significant differences between the groups (p < 0.05). Also, participant nurses' negative organizational behavior experiences scores (compulsory citizenship behavior, presenteeism, and work-related burnout) statistically significantly differed (p < 0.05), considering their scores based on private hospital and public hospital experiences. The study concluded that nurses worked longer and took less leave in private hospitals. Participant nurses also reported that they exhibited more compulsory citizenship presenteeism and experienced a higher rate of work-related burnout while working in private hospitals.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Syrian Refugees' Experiences While Receiving Mental Health Services and Psychiatric Nursing Care: a Qualitative Study(Wiley, 2024) Ozturk, Gizem; Timarcioglu, Kuebra; Dikec, Gul; Karali, Ece; Nacaroglu, Hamza; Cakir, Hanife; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Harmanci Seren, Arzu KaderAim: This study examined the experiences of Syrian refugees in a community centre in Turkiye as they access mental health services and receive psychiatric nursing care.Design: A qualitative design was adopted in the study.Methods: Data were collected from southern Turkiye between November and December 2021. The researchers conducted three semi-structured focus group interviews. Colaizzi's phenomenological method was followed to analyse the qualitative data. A total of 19 Syrian refugees participated in the focus group interviews.Results: Three key themes related to immigrants' experiences of receiving mental health services and nursing care were identified: barriers to receiving mental health services, coping with negative experiences in Turkiye and satisfaction with mental health services. The participants identified the barriers they experienced while receiving health services as those pertaining to language, discrimination and stigmatization. They also mentioned the methods of coping with these negative experiences in Turkiye. Despite their negative experiences, they expressed satisfaction with the mental health services they received, especially psychiatric nursing care.Conclusions: This study determined that Syrian refugees face barriers in accessing and receiving mental health services. They stated that mental health professionals in Turkiye approach them with empathy, particularly those in psychiatric nursing. Healthcare professionals may be trained in culturally sensitive care to increase awareness.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13Critical Thinking Among Clinical Nurses and Related Factors: a Survey Study in Public Hospitals(Wiley, 2022) Urhan, Eylul; Zuriguel-Perez, Esperanza; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Harmancı Seren, Arzu KaderAims and objectives The study investigated clinical nurses' critical thinking levels in public hospitals and related factors. Background Since health care environments have become more complex, the critical thinking skills of clinical nurses are more important in daily problem-solving and decision-making processes. However, little research was conducted on this topic among clinical nurses. Methods It was a cross-sectional study at five public hospitals between December 2018 and January 2019. The study followed the STROBE guideline. Data were collected from 559 nurses by a survey consisted of a data form and the Turkish version of the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire. Results Nurses' mean critical thinking scores were moderate level. Total critical thinking scores of the clinical nurses significantly differed according to education, hospital type, shift work, professional category and role. There was a significant effect on the total critical thinking scores of the clinical nurses according to variables. Conclusion This study found that critical thinking levels of nurses' working in clinical settings in public hospitals were moderate level. Hospital type, shift work, professional and educational level and role were significantly associated with clinical nurses' critical thinking levels. Relevance to clinical practice This study provides evidence related to the levels of critical thinking of clinical nurses working in public hospitals. Since the critical thinking scores of the manager nurses, daytime working nurses' and nurses with bachelor's and master's degree education are higher, hospital managers may benefit from the study to implement effective strategies to improve the competence of critical thinking levels of nurses.
