This research presents the examples and conceptual information about the process of working with gatekeepers based on the sensitive research topic. This paper draws on the first author’s own experiences and the emotional impact of undertaking such sensitive research where community leaders held patriarchal beliefs. It also argues that there are challenges in building trust and rapport with gatekeepers which are related to gender power relations; stigmatisation in the community; ideologies around masculinity and patriarchy. Based on the experience of accessing hard-to-reach participants while undertaking a doctoral study, this paper discusses issues that arise when negotiating with gatekeepers to access study participants. The paper contributes to debates about gatek...

Özellikle bir arada yaşamak zorunda kalan bazı aile bireylerinin günlerce hep evin içinde birlikte kalması salgın sürecinde birtakım psikolojik ve ekonomik sorunların yaşanmasına veya tetiklenmesine neden olabilmektedir. Bu makale yaşanması muhtemel olan bu psikolojik ve sosyal sorunlara cevap verebilecek bir müdahale programı sunmayı hedeflemiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, koronavirüs ve bunun gibi afet süreçlerinin ailelere olan etkileri ve bu kişilere yönelik uygulanan koruyucu psikolojik müdahaleler ve eğitim programları dijital veri tabanlarında taranmıştır.

Objectives: This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (... more Objectives: This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS) developed by Larson for Turkish society due to the limited measures of vaccine hesitancy studies in Turkey. This scale can help advance research and vaccination policy for human well-being. Methods: Two hundred fourty-six participants completed the first questionnaire in Turkish between September and October 2020. The sample of the study was determined to consider the number of items on the 9-item scale is more than 27 times. The retest was used to test the validity of the scale in the study. Results: The ratio of the scale to chi-square degrees of freedom is 2.29. This can be considered as a sufficient fit. As a result of the first level Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), the values of the goodness of fit suggested that the two-factor model can be considered compatible with the data. The Cronbach's alpha of the total items of the scale is = .801. Factor 1 which was the 'lack of confidence' of Cronbach's alpha was 0.904. Factor 2 that was the 'risks' was 0.742. The reliability and validity of the VHS analysis revealed a two-factor structure with construct and criterion validity to detect vaccine hesitancy. Conclusions: VHS is recommended to be used as a data collection tool in health care services to detect the level of vaccine hesitancy among the public. The adaptation of VHS into the Turkish language can help health care providers and immunization policy makers to improve effective approaches by focusing on the individuals' confidence in vaccination.

It investigates how key circumstances related to Turkish men’s cultural backgrounds, migration status, racialisation and different interactions with facilitators shape their engagement in interventions. The data was collected from semi-structured interviews with Turkish perpetrators who participated in domestic violence interventions and professionals who worked with Turkish men in these interventions. Participants’ social and cultural background, class, gendered power relations and racialisation affected their active engagement in interventions. The insufficiency of trained interpreters and culturally-competent professionals, mistrust of the services and the social stressors about living in a society with different cultural values to their home country were identified as factors of inadequate engagement. ...

Research paper thumbnail of School Bullying in the Middle School: Comparison of Violence Prevention Programs

Proceedings of SOCIOINT 2020- 7th International Conference on Education and Education of Social Sciences, 2020

During adolescence, any action affects not only brain development but also emotional development. Early prevention programs might prevent or reduce aggressive and violent behavior in this period. This article critically compares two different school bullying prevention programs including the Olweus Bully Prevention Program (OBPP) and the Second Step Violence Prevention Program (SSPP). This comparison aims to prevent school bullying and to understand the implications in regard to short or long terms solutions and using cost-effective strategies to define the roles for school professionals. The focus of this article is on comparing different universal anti-bullying programs, such as the OBPP and the SSPP among the middle-school-age children...

Research paper thumbnail of The mediating role of health literacy on the relationship between health care system distrust and vaccine hesitancy during COVID-19 pandemic

Current Psychology, 2021

This study explores the mediating role of health literacy on the association between health care ... more This study explores the mediating role of health literacy on the association between health care system distrust and vaccine hesitancy. An online survey including Personal Information Form, Health Care System Distrust Scale, Vaccine Hesitancy Scale, and Health Literacy Scale were applied to 620 participants. The degree of applying mask-wearing, hygiene rule and physical distance, and the level of COVID-19 vaccine literacy were modeled with hierarchical multiple regression analysis to have a deeper analysis of participants' actions towards COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. It was found that health care system distrust and health literacy were the most important variables that had an impact on vaccine hesitancy. Based on the mediation analysis, the total effect of health care system distrust on vaccine hesitancy was statistically significant. Participants who held a low level of health literacy and a high perception of the health care system distrust experienced more vaccine hesitancy. The findings suggested the health literacy mediated the relationship between health care system distrust and vaccine hesitancy. Health authorities need to consider the dynamic and complex factors around the health care system distrust and health literacy to reduce vaccine hesitancy during COVID-19.

Promoting Qualitative Research Methods for Critical Reflection and Change, 2021

Research on the effectiveness of domestic violence perpetrator interventions, where perpetrators ... more Research on the effectiveness of domestic violence perpetrator interventions, where perpetrators are challenged to apply non-violent behavior and develop a healthy intimate relationship, is uneven and often inconsistent. Effective and accurate methodological tools and approaches can provide a better understanding of how the program providers offer successful practices to perpetrators of domestic violence. The goal of this chapter is to discuss the potential benefits of the grounded theory approach in a qualitative inquiry that might reduce methodological challenges in the examination of the process of men taking responsibility in interventions. This chapter contributes to the debate about the best way to examine perpetrators' behavioral change processes and identifies the benefits of implementing the grounded theory approach and reflexivity.

It investigates how key circumstances related to Turkish men’s cultural backgrounds, migration status, racialisation and different interactions with facilitators shape their engagement in interventions. The data was collected from semi-structured interviews with Turkish perpetrators who participated in domestic violence interventions and professionals who worked with Turkish men in these interventions. Participants’ social and cultural background, class, gendered power relations and racialisation affected their active engagement in interventions. The insufficiency of trained interpreters and culturally-competent professionals, mistrust of the services and the social stressors about living in a society with different cultural values to their home country were identified as factors of inadequate engagement. ...

Research paper thumbnail of School Bullying in the Middle School: Comparison of Violence Prevention Programs

During adolescence, any action affects not only brain development but also emotional development. Early prevention programs might prevent or reduce aggressive and violent behavior in this period. This article critically compares two different school bullying prevention programs including the Olweus Bully Prevention Program (OBPP) and the Second Step Violence Prevention Program (SSPP). This comparison aims to prevent school bullying and to understand the implications in regard to short or long terms solutions and using cost-effective strategies to define the roles for school professionals. The focus of this article is on comparing different universal anti-bullying programs, such as the OBPP and the SSPP among the middle-school-age children...

Research paper thumbnail of The mediating role of health literacy on the relationship between health care system distrust and vaccine hesitancy during COVID-19 pandemic

An online survey including Personal Information Form, Health Care System Distrust Scale, Vaccine Hesitancy Scale, and Health Literacy Scale were applied to 620 participants. The degree of applying mask-wearing, hygiene rule and physical distance, and the level of COVID-19 vaccine literacy were modeled with hierarchical multiple regression analysis to have a deeper analysis of participants' actions towards COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. It was found that health care system distrust and health literacy were the most important variables that had an impact on vaccine hesitancy. Based on the mediation analysis, the total effect of health care system distrust on vaccine hesitancy was statistically significant. Participants who held a low level of health literacy and a high perception of the health care system distrust experienced more vaccine hesitancy. The findings suggested the health literacy mediated the relationship between health care system distrust and vaccine hesitancy. Health authorities need to consider the dynamic and complex factors around the health care system distrust and health literacy to reduce vaccine hesitancy during COVID-19.

Promoting Qualitative Research Methods for Critical Reflection and Change, 2021

Effective and accurate methodological tools and approaches can provide a better understanding of how the program providers offer successful practices to perpetrators of domestic violence. The goal of this chapter is to discuss the potential benefits of the grounded theory approach in a qualitative inquiry that might reduce methodological challenges in the examination of the process of men taking responsibility in interventions. This chapter contributes to the debate about the best way to examine perpetrators' behavioral change processes and identifies the benefits of implementing the grounded theory approach and reflexivity.

Synthesizing the knowledge of safe father–child interactions in post–domestic violence incidents and positive fathering skills is the major goal of this review. It also aims to identify the available literature on key factors and conditions around child adjustment following intimate partner violence incidents. In order to achieve these goals, this article applied a narrative style literature review. Electronic databases and websites of children’s social services and domestic violence interventions were searched, and 12 research studies met the criteria for the review. The synthesis of the literature suggests that improving custody workers’ knowledge of intimate partner violence and developing father’s parenting practices during interventions are essential in achieving the safety of father–child interactions.
