There is a lack of subcutaneous anticoagulant counseling tools for COVID-19 patients. This study aims to develop and validate a written counseling tool for subcutaneous anticoagulant use in COVID-19 patients. A prospective cohort study was performed with expert panels and patients. The tool was validated by hospital pharmacists using Content Validity Index (I-CVI), Scale-level-CVI (S-CVI), and Universal Acceptance (UA). Face validation by patients was determined using Item Acceptance Index (IAI), and Universal Acceptance (UA). Hospital pharmacists (n=26) were mostly female (n=18, 69.2%) and Chinese (n=20, 76.9%), with a mean age of 35.8 +/- 2.9 years. All items were assessed relevantly (n=18, 100%), I-CVIs ranging from 0.96-1.00 by hospital pharmacists. The average proportion of items, I-CVI average, (Sum of I-CVI/no. of items: 17.88/18) was reported as 0.99. S-CVI/UA (Sum of UA/no. of items: 15/18) was reported as 0.83, and S-CVI/Average (Sum of I-CVI/no. of items: 17.88/18) was reported as 0.99 indicating high content validity. Patients (n=28) involved in face validation of the construct were mostly female (n=19, 67.9%), Malay (n=46.4%), and tertiary educated (n=20, 71.4%) with a mean age of 38.0 +/- 9.8 years. All items were marked as relevant (n=18, 100%), with IAI ranging from 0.93-1.00, suggesting patients accepted each item of the construct. The average proportion of items was reported as 0.99 (Sum of IAI/no. of items: 17.82/18), indicating excellent acceptance and content comprehension among patients. The developed counseling tool is acceptable for anticoagulant education among COVID-19 patients.

Disasters significantly affect either the whole or a part of society, disrupt the course of life, and cause lasting financial and emotional damage. This study was conducted to reveal the experiences, losses, and expectations of families who were forced to leave their homes after the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaras, Turkey on February 6, 2023. This qualitative study was conducted with earthquake victims between 16 March 2023 and 19 March 2023. The criterion sampling method was used to select the participants, and nine participants from four different families were included in the study. A personal information form and an unstructured questionnaire were administered to collect data. The data were collected through sound recordings. The audio recordings were transcribed verbatim into written documents, and the data were analyzed using coding-based content analysis. All participants reported that they had experienced an earthquake before. Two main themes and six sub-themes were obtained from the analyses. The participants reported that their support systems were strong (77.7%), that the earthquake was a real phenomenon (55.5%). The participants also remembered the early moments of the earthquake (100%), mentioning experiencing both material and spiritual losses (100%), that they had not received help during the first few days (66.6%), that they faced challenges with their basic needs, particularly clothing (77.7%), security (66.6%), and heating (66.6%), and that their lives changed after the earthquake (100%). Further studies are recommended through using larger sample size and that research be conducted reflecting the experiences of earthquake victims in the later stages.

Deaf children are not a homogenous group and differ in terms of type, severity, and causes of damage and coexisting disorders. In 20 to 30% of deaf children, there is at least one co-occurring disorder that may make it difficult for these children to achieve the language, social, emotional, and communication skills expected from rehabilitation services. Therefore, the current study seeks to answer the question, how much has been addressed in past research on the etiology, evaluation, and rehabilitation of neurodevelopmental disorders associated with deafness? In the present study, an attempt was made to provide coherent information regarding the prevalence rate, methods, and barriers of evaluation by reviewing the research conducted in the field of deafness and co-occurring disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum, learning disability, and mental disability separately and provide rehabilitation and training. By studying the research conducted in this field, it was found that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, learning disability, and mental retardation play a greater role in co-occurring disorders with deafness compared to other neurodevelopmental disorders.
