    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) Yilmaz, Sarper; Karakayali, Onur; Yilmaz, Serkan; Cetin, Murat; Eroglu, Serkan Emre; Dikme, Ozgur; Ozhasenekler, Ayhan
    An earthquake measuring 7.7 magnitude on the Richter scale occurred at 04:17am on February 6, 2023 in the Pazarcik district of Kahramanmaras province Turkey. In the hours following the 7.7 magnitude event in Kahramanmaras, a second 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the region and a third 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Gaziantep, causing extensive damage and death. A total of ten provinces directly experienced the earthquake, including Kahramanmaras, Hatay, Gaziantep, Osmaniye, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakir, Sanliurfa, Adiyaman, and Kilis. The official figures indicate 31,643 people were killed, 80,278 were injured, and 6,444 buildings were destroyed within seven days of the earthquakes (as of 12:00pm/noon on Monday, February 13th). The area affected by the earthquake has been officially declared to be 500km in diameter. This report primarily relies on observations made by pioneer Emergency Physicians (EPs) who went to the disaster areas shortly after the first earthquake (in the early stages of the disaster). According to their observations: (1) Due to winter conditions, there were transportation problems and a shortage of personnel reaching disaster areas on the first day after the disaster; (2) On the second day of the disaster, health equipment was in short supply; (3) As of the third day, health workers were unprepared in terms of knowledge and experience for the disaster; and (4) The subsequent deployment of health personnel to the disaster area was uncoordinated and unplanned on the following days, which resulted in the health personnel working there not being able to meet even their basic needs (such as food, heating, and shelter). During the first week, coordination was most frequently reported as the most significant problem.

    OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF WORKERS' DEATHS IN TURKEY AND A POLICY PROPOSAL
    (Istanbul Univ, Methodology & Sociology Research Center, 2015) Cetin, Murat; Karatay Gogul, Pelin
    Turkey has the third largest number of workplace fatalities in the world, and the highest number of workplace deaths in Europe. There are official records of 172 work accidents daily, 4 of which on average result in death and 6 of which result in permanent disability. In Turkey, these deaths are labelled fate or accident. However, in reality, the causes are the combination of ignorance, lack of inspection, incapable subcontractors, and greediness to make more profit accompanied by unsigned Occupational Safety and Health contracts. As a whole, these reasons cause Turkey to have a crime economy which makes it a highly urgent obligation for Turkey to create a 'legal' basis for its market economy to create competitive, sustainable growth.

    Research into the relationship between digital health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors: an intergenerational comparison
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2023) Cetin, Murat; Gumus, Rojan
    IntroductionDigital health literacy wields a pivotal role in individuals' health status in terms of seeking and choosing appropriate and accurate information, and useful services from a vast array of choices. This study is aimed at assessing the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI) and examining the relationship between DHL and the healthy lifestyle behaviors of participants from X, Y, and Z generations.MethodsIn this study, to conduct a cross-sectional web-based survey, an online self-report questionnaire was built, and a convenience sample with a snowball approach was used. The study was conducted among 1,274 respondents aged between 18 and 64 years. Data collection tools consisted of the Personal Information Form, Lifestyle Behavior Scale II (HLBS II), and DHLI. Cultural validation and psychometric testing of DHLI, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha test, and bivariate and multivariate regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.ResultsIn the study, the Turkish version of the DHLI tool consisting of six dimensions proved to be valid and reliable, and deemed appropriate for use across all age groups. The average digital health literacy of the respondents was sufficient, but the mean of healthy lifestyle behavior scores was moderate. There was a positive significant relationship between the total mean scores of DHLI and HLBS. Among the subdimensions of DHLI, while the highest mean scores were in DHLI Reliability, DHLI Privacy, and DHLI Search, DHLI Navigation and DHLI Relevance showed the lowest mean scores. DHLI Reliability, DHLI Relevance, and DHLI Adding Content were statistically significant predictors of health-related behaviors of the respondents.ConclusionThe most important feature and novelty of this study is that, although the DHLI scale has been widely translated for use in many countries, it has been translated and adapted to Turkish for the first time herein. The study offers crucial evidence about Generation X, Y, and Z's DHL level and its positive relationships with health-related behaviors. Therefore, the community and its partners should lead the way in empowering individuals to understand and use online information in an effective, secure, and health-promoting manner, along with governments.
