The universe of the study consisted of Midwifery Department students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a state university, and all women who gave birth in two separate state hospitals and their attendants. The sample of the study consisted of 221 students, 72 puerperant and 72 companions who agreed to participate in the study with the improbable sampling method between December, 2019 and February, 2020 and met the inclusion criteria. In the analysis of the research data, number and percentage distributions were taken, chi-square test and one-way ANOVA analysis were performed. Results: 85.1% of the students stated that the lack of male recruitment had no effect on their choice of midwifery, 48.4% stated that they wanted to work with the male midwife in their professional lives, 46.6% stated that men could contribute to the strengthening of the profession. 47.2% of the puerperant states that midwifery is a woman's profession, 44.4% of them do not approve of men being a midwife profession, 59.4% of those who do not agree do not want male midwives because of their embarrassment. 58.3% of the companions stated that they approve of male midwives to be in the profession and 52.8% stated that they would not be disturbed in terms of the care given by the male midwife to their puerperants by the male midwife. Conclusions and recommendations: It’s determined that the inclusion of males in the midwifery profession is better welcomed by students and companions; puerperants have reservations.

Background: Family medicine is a field in which complete and detailed set of healthcare services are provided to the patients and their families. In developed countries, freshly graduated students choose family medicine as a priority for their career. However, in Pakistan it is not the case. The present study is undertaken to determine the perceptions of final year medical students’ about Family Medicine as a viable career. Methods: A total number of 504 students participated in the study. This was a cross-sectional study. The study participants were in their final year of medical college. Data was collected using a preapproved questionnaire. Data was entered and analyzed via SPSS version 17 and Chi-Square test was used post-stratification. Results: Only 14.3% (n=72) medical students had heard about Family Medicine. Only 18% (n=92) would select family medicine as a profession. The most frequent rationale for choosing the field of Family Medicine was the variety of patients seen in general practice (55.4% n=51). Conclusion: There is a dire need to focus on increasing awareness about the field of family medicine among medical students. The students should be counseled on the advantages along with the disadvantages of choosing this field as a medical profession.

Abstract Objective The purpose of our study is to determine the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the levels of empathy toward patients among undergraduate dental students in Pakistan. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional, survey-based study was conducted at Islamic International Dental College, Islamabad, Pakistan. After taking an informed consent, a validated and pretested Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) was distributed amongst the undergraduate dental students at two points, one before the COVID-19 existed, and the other after August 7th, 2020, when the COVID-19 cases dropped in Pakistan. Responses were indicated on a five point Likert Scale. Statistical Analysis A one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) was used to compare the TEQ scores between the different years of education at the dental school. Difference within the groups was analyzed using the post-hoc Tukey test. Pre- and post-COVID-19 comparison was done using the Chi-square test (significance level p < 0.05). Results A total of 221 out of 260 students in the pre-COVID-19 group, while 210 out of 260 students in the post-COVID-19 group enrolled in the dentistry program participated in the study. Significant difference in the empathy levels was observed in the pre- and post-COVID-19 groups of the same population, i.e., (p < 0.05). The response rate was 85%. Conclusions This study showed an increase in mean empathy scores among the undergraduate dental students after COVID-19, indicating a significant improvement in their empathy levels during the time of COVID-19. It highlights the impact of the pandemic, whereby death and chaos seem to have brought about an improvement in interpersonal harmony.

Abstract Background Self-medication refers to taking medicine without consultation with a doctor or dentist, and it is an important health issue, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are no data about parents’ SM practices for their children’s dental problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aims to evaluate parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding self-medication for their children’s dental problems during the COVID-19 pandemic in Northern Turkey. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out in the pediatric dental clinic at Ondokuz Mayis University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, immediately after the COVID-19 lockdown ended. A total of 389 parents who agreed to participate in the study completed the questionnaire from July 1 to October 1. A questionnaire with 18 items was designed to collect information on the parents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding when, why, and how to use drugs and on their practices on medicating their children. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics (chi-square test). Results The majority of parents (n = 273; 70.2%) practiced self-medication for their children's dental problems. Self-medication with a previously prescribed medications was usually preferred by parents (n = 179; 62.2%). Analgesics (98%) were the most commonly used medicines by parents in their self-medication for their children's dental problems. Conclusion Prevalence of self-medication practices for children's dental problems is high in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, new healthcare services, such as teledentistry, may be useful to overcome problems related to the self-medication of children during times when the ability to reach healthcare providers is limited, such as during pandemics.

Developments in health sector increased the expectations of patients. In order to meet these expectations, hospitals attach importance to their service quality. Although hospitals increase the quality of service, the perceptions of service users become more important. It was aimed to determine the quality of service and expectation of patients and their relatives who applied to four state hospitals in Istanbul by Servqual Scale. In accordance with this purpose, the relationship between the dimensions of "physical properties", "reliability", "willingness - enthusiasm", "assurance" and "cross-empathy" quality of service and socio - demographic characteristics of participants were statistically analyzed. During sampling process, 358 participants who applied to physical therapy rehabilitation, surgery and internal medicine departments were reached via randomized sampling method. One-way ANOVA and independent sample t-test and chi-square test were applied to analyze the differences in satisfaction level. As a result of the evaluations, it was determined that four state hospitals did not meet the expectations in terms of both the total service quality and service quality sub-dimensions of the patients and their relatives.

Biomedical scientists (BMSs) are important professionals for healthcare services as they help in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of numerous diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess ergonomics knowledge, attitude, and practice among BMSs. A cross-sectional study was carried out among BMSs using a self-constructed questionnaire. The association between these parameters and various risk factors was measured using the Chi-square test. The study included 110 BMSs. Females represented 68.2% and 45.5% were in the age of 25-34. Good ergonomics knowledge showed in 54.5% and 82.7% showed high positive attitude. However, poor ergonomics showed in 83.5%. There was no significant interrelation between the three parameters. A significant association was found between the male gender (0.040), more than 20 working experience (0.016), and good ergonomics practice. Biomedical scientists have good knowledge, high attitude but the poor practice of ergonomics. Ergonomics training and practice should be firmly enhanced among these healthcare professionals.
