Association Between Health Information Obtained via Social Media and Eating Attitudes: A Descriptive and Correlational Study
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Bilkay, Halil İbrahim; Ünal, Esra; Demir Küçükköseler, Ayşenur
Aim: Social media has become an important source of health information, shaping individuals’ eating attitudes and behaviours. This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship of seeking health information through social media and eating attitudes. Method: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 316 individuals aged 18 years and above through an online questionnaire. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Eating Attitudes Test-26, and the Health Information Seeking and Verification Scale in Digital Media. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, the Mann–Whitney U test, the Kruskal–Wallis test, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The findings indicated that women had higher disordered eating scores compared to men, and that increased dieting frequency was associated with more negative eating attitudes. A positive relationship was identified between the implementation of health-related content obtained from social media and eating attitudes, whereas digital verification behaviors were specifically associated with restrictive eating patterns. Regression analysis revealed that only gender and dieting frequency significantly predicted eating attitudes, while digital health information-seeking and the application of social media suggestions were not found to exert a direct significant effect. Conclusion: The findings suggest that individuals’ digital health information-seeking behaviors may exert indirect effects on their eating attitudes. Therefore, when evaluating eating attitudes, health professionals should consider gender, dieting behaviors, and digital media interactions. In addition, comprehensive interventions fostering media literacy and body image awareness should be developed.
On the Existence of Solutions for a Fractional Differential Boundary Value Problem via DarboType Fixed Point
(Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics, National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan, 2026) Azouzi, Mounira; Abdeljawad, Thabet; Mukheimer, Aiman
In this work, we study the existence of solutions for a class of fractional boundary value problems involving the Caputo fractional derivative. Our approach is based on transforming the considered boundary value problems into an equivalent fixed-point equation by applying fixed-point results related to generalized Proinov-type contraction mappings defined through the measure of noncompactness. The obtained results substantially extend classical contraction principles and offer powerful tools for the analysis of nonlinear problems. An illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the significance and the applicability of the obtained results.
Association of Embryology Education with Infertility Knowledge and Attitudes among Medical and Health Sciences Students
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Zayman, Emrah; İnceoğlu, Feyza
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare infertility-related knowledge and attitudes among students from the Faculty of Medicine (basic and clinical phases) and the Faculty of Health Sciences (midwifery and nursing programs), and to investigate the association between embryology education and students' knowledge and attitudes toward infertility. Method: This cross-sectional study included 228 undergraduate students from the Faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences. The sample size was determined by power analysis and participants were recruited using the snowball sampling method. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of a sociodemographic information form, infertility knowledge questions and the “Attitude Scale Toward Infertility”. Statistical analyses were performed using R version 4.3.1. Chi-square, independent samples t-test, Mann Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis tests were applied as appropriate. Results: Students' responses to the infertility knowledge questions differed significantly according to gender, academic program, year of study, and receipt of embryology education (p<0.05). Medical students had significantly higher attitude scores toward infertility than health sciences students (47.81±7.58 vs. 36.72±3.62; t=−14.089, p<0.001). Likewise, students who had received embryology education demonstrated significantly higher attitude scores than those who had not (44.76±8.31 vs. 37.64±5.28; t=6.947, p<0.001). Conclusion: Medical students and students who had received embryology education exhibited greater infertility-related knowledge and more positive attitudes toward infertility than their counterparts. These findings suggest that strengthening embryology education may improve clinical awareness of infertility, support future healthcare professionals in the accurate management of infertility, facilitate psychosocial care, and contribute to reducing infertility-related social stigma.
The Use of Physician Rating Sites and Their Impact on Physician Preference
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Metin, Aslı
Aim: This study aims to determine the awareness of individuals regarding physician review websites and to examine the effect of online physician reviews on patient preferences. Method: The study was conducted with 422 participants aged 18 and over. Data were collected using the “Online Physician Reviews and Patient Preferences Scale” developed by the researcher. Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a unidimensional structure (KMO=0.805; Bartlett test x² (15)=335.73, p<0.001) and the scale showed acceptable reliability (α=0.741). Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA and regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. Results: The findings showed that 52.8% of the participants visited physician review websites and Doktor Takvimi (a Turkish physician rating website) was the most frequently used platform. Participants stated that they used these platforms more to read physician reviews than to create content. Both positive and negative reviews were found to influence patient preferences. While no significant difference was observed in terms of gender, age, marital status, or income (p>.05), education level was found to have a significant effect (p<.05). Post hoc analyses revealed that individuals with postgraduate education were less influenced by online physician reviews than those with lower education levels. Regression analysis showed that perceived trustworthiness of online reviews significantly predicted the effects on patient preferences (β=0.468, p<.001) and explained a significant portion of the variance (R²=0.437). Conclusion: The results suggest that the influence of physician review websites on patient preferences is primarily determined by perceived trustworthiness rather than usage. Although awareness of these platforms is high, users tend to remain passive. The findings highlight the importance of trust in shaping the impact of digital health information and suggest that higher education levels may reduce reliance on such platforms.
