    Parenting practices and pre-schoolers' cognitive skills in Turkish immigrant and German families
    (Taylor & Francis, 2011) Leyendecker, Birgit; Jakel, Julia; N/A; Department of Psychology; Kademoğlu, Sinem Olcay; Selçuk, Bilge; Master Student; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 52913
    The present study aims to investigate the association between parenting behaviours, children's daily activities and their cognitive development. Participants were 52 Turkish-German and 65 German pre-school children and their mothers, who were matched in terms of education level (10-12 years of schooling). Children's cognitive skills were assessed using a developmental test (ET 6-6). Parenting behaviours were measured with a modified version of the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire. Children's daily activities and their literacy environment were captured with interviews as well as with a time budget diary covering two days. For parenting practices, we found mean differences inasmuch as parents in the German sample were more likely to be engaged in dyadic interaction and book reading, and less likely to endorse inconsistent parenting practices and rigid discipline practices when compared to the Turkish immigrant parents. We found similarities in the sense that parents in the two samples were equally likely to engage in positive parenting behaviour and in social play, and girls received higher scores on cognitive performance than boys. Separate regression analyses for each sample revealed that parent's involvement indicating a more stimulating environment was positively associated with children's cognitive development. Taken together, the findings point to the importance of programmes geared at supporting Turkish immigrant parents' involvement with their pre-schoolers.

    Psychometric testing of the Turkish version of the skin cancer and sun knowledge scale in nursing students
    (Springer, 2018) Haney, Meryem Ozturk; Arkan, Gulcihan; Cengiz, Burcu; N/A; N/A; Bahar, Zühal; Beşer, Ayşe; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; School of Nursing; 3918; 143490
    The present study aimed assesses the nursing students' knowledge of skin cancer and sun and their sun protection behaviors. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed from May to June 2014 with a convenience sample of 376 undergraduate nursing students from one nursing faculty located in Izmir. Mean age of the students was 21.56 +/- 1.96 years. The mean score that the females obtained from the level of knowledge and protection behaviors scales was significantly higher than that of the males. Older age group (>= 22 years) obtained higher scores on the knowledge and protection behaviors scales than younger group (<= 21 years). Nursing students' knowledge of, and behavior regarding, skin cancer and sun health were insufficient. Equipping them with the necessary knowledge and behaviors related to skin cancer and sun health by developing training programs and strategies on the issue is of utmost importance.
