    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2022-05) Aydin, Mevlüt Okan; Kafa, İlker Mustafa; Özkaya, Güven; Alper, Züleyha; Haque, Shafiul; AYDİN, MEVLÜT OKAN; KAFA, İLKER MUSTAFA; ALPER, ZÜLEYHA; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; 0000-0002-8060-8803; 0000-0001-8309-0934; 0000-0002-8349-9868; AAI-3331-2021; AAG-7125-2021; ABE-2261-2020; FQT-8976-2022
    Background and Aims: This study aims to evaluate the implication of peer-assisted learning model adopted in students' clinical skills training from the perspective of tutees and tutors at the end of a peer-tutored clinical skills program and peer tutors themselves. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Faculty of Medicine, Bursa Uludag in between January and March 2018. Following the clinical skills training, a questionnaire designed to assess the views of tutees and peer tutors was filled out on a voluntary basis by 159 tutees and 43 tutors. The statistical analysis of the collected and processed data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS 23.0 statistical program. The statistical significance level was maintained as alpha = 0.05. Results: According to the Likert scale, satisfaction with the tutors and the educational environment was high in general. The 2nd term tutees provided more negative feedback compared to other terms. Among all the terms, the most positive answers were provided by the 3rd term students. Although the tutors found themselves fully skilled in communication with colleagues, there were striking differences between the tutors in the 5th and 6th terms of providing a good role model for pre-clinical terms students. Conclusion: Considering peer assisted learning (PAL)'s positive responses from this study, the adoption of PAL has been started to be used as a supplementary teaching method for the clinical skills training at the Faculty of Medicine, Bursa Uludag University. PAL is considered a successful education model since it is cost-efficient for undergraduate medical training and improves the professional skills of both teacher and learner students. It can be availed of as an alternative method in medical faculties where especially the number of academic members is insufficient.

    Distance education perception scale for medical students: A validity and reliability study
    (Bmc, 2021-07-26) Özkaya, Güven; Aydın, Mevlüt Okan; Alper, Züleyha; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; AYDİN, MEVLÜT OKAN; ALPER, ZÜLEYHA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıp Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-8060-8803; 0000-0002-8349-9868; AAI-3331-2021; ABE-2261-2020; JJW-0446-2023
    Background There are major changes in education strategies as higher education institutions urgently need to adopt distance education tools and practices due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Medical education is also trying to get out of this emergency using distance education. In this study, we aimed to develop a reliable and valid scale in order to evaluate the perceptions of medical students towards distance education. Methods The students taking part in the study were in the first five academic years of the medical faculty in Bursa in Turkey. At first, 57 items were determined to evaluate students' perceptions. Content validity was examined according to the assessment of the expert team. Construct validity of these items was examined by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were calculated for reliability analysis. The medical students' responses were scored using a five-point Likert scale. Results When the content validity was examined, the number of items was determined to be 38 items. Construct validity of these items was examined by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Because of the exploratory factor analysis performed on the responses of 429 medical students, 22 items were included in four factors. This four-factor model was applied to 286 medical students and validated by confirmatory factor analysis. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were calculated for reliability analysis and values were between 0.713 and 0.930. Conclusions This study demonstrated validation and reliability of perceptions of distance education for medical students. We suggest a 22-item model with a four-factorial scale.

    Hopelessness among medical students caused due to covid-19 pandemic linked educational hiatus: A case study of Bursa Uludag University, Türkiye
    (MDPI, 2023-02-01) Aydın, Mevlüt Okan; Özkaya, Güven; Kafa, İlker Mustafa; Haque, Shafiul; Alper, Züleyha; AYDİN, MEVLÜT OKAN; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; KAFA, İLKER MUSTAFA; ALPER, ZÜLEYHA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıp Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Anatomi Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-8060-8803; 0000-0003-0297-846X; 0000-0001-8309-0934; A-4421-2016; ABE-2261-2020; AAI-3331-2021; AAG-7125-2021
    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in medical education, leading to feelings of hopelessness among students regarding their medical careers. However, effective institutional crisis-response approaches can mitigate these feelings of hopelessness. This study evaluated changes in the levels of hopelessness among Turkish medical students due to interruptions in their education caused by the pandemic between March and July 2020, using the Beck Hopelessness Scale in three selected periods. A statistical survey was conducted with a total of 3580 participants in three different periods to study the impact of various contributing factors, such as socio-economic status, family problems, health problems, and lack of working environment, on the levels of hopelessness in conjunction with active COVID-19 cases and the effect of institutional interventions for the continuation of medical education during the pandemic. The analysis revealed a direct relationship between contributing factors and hopelessness scores at the end of the selected three periods. Additionally, active COVID-19 cases and institutional crisis-response strategies were found to be indirectly associated with students' hopelessness. An increase in students' hopelessness was found to be related to an increase in active COVID-19 cases in the country, a lack of continuing education practices, and the role of contributing factors. Conversely, a decrease in hopelessness was associated with effective institutional crisis-response strategies. These findings suggest that educational settings dealing with practical subjects should prioritize preparedness for crisis situations.

    Comparison of fatal injuries resulting from tractor and high speed motorcycle accidents in Turkey: A multicenter study
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2019-01-01) Eraybar, Suna; Atmaca, Serhat; Nennicioğlu, Yasemin; Torun, Gökhan; Aydın, Okan; Varisli, Behçet; Sandal, Nuran; Büyükyılmaz, Tunç; Seyit, Murat; Yıldırım, Harun; Armağan, Erol; Torun, Gökhan; AYDİN, MEVLÜT OKAN; ARMAĞAN, EROL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Acil Servis.; AAA-2367-2020; JWS-8589-2024; AAH-8846-2021
    Aim. Injuries are among the main causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world, and effective initial triage of these patients can determine the thin line between death and life. Tractor accidents and related injuries are significant problems particularly in rural areas. However, major trauma classification systems do not include tractor accidents as a criterion for trauma team activation or transportation of the patients to a trauma center. This study evaluated the general characteristics and outcomes of tractor accidents in comparison to motorcycle accidents, which are considered as a comparison criterion for major trauma. Materials and Methods. This is a multicenter study conducted in 6 emergency departments in 4 cities over a six month period. All cases over 18 years of age who were admitted to emergency service due to tractor or motorcycle accidents and meet the criteria were included in the study. The general characteristics and outcomes of both trauma types were compared to determine whether tractor accident should be considered as major traumas. Results. Eighty-eight patients had a tractor accident, and 339 patients had a motorcycle accident. The tractor accident victims were significantly younger (p<0.001), and the proportion of females was higher in this group (p=0.001). Glasgow coma score (p=0.062), revised trauma score (p=0.201), duration from incident to admission (p=0.481), and route of admission (p=0.810) were similar between both accident types. The rates of thoracic traumas (42% versus 23%, p<0.001) and spinal injuries (17% versus 5.9%, p=0.002) were significantly higher in tractor accidents. The hospitalization rates of the patients were significantly higher in tractor accidents (p=0.008). Conclusion. The findings of this study support the hypothesis that tractor accidents should be included in the criteria of ATLS major trauma classification system and trauma team activation procedures.
