    This study aims to examine the experiences of health workers in filiation teams in Turkey. The qualitative research model has been used. 375 health workers have participated using a non-probability sampling method. The data were collected over the internet using the questionnaire. The data have been analyzed with the MAXQDA and various code-sub codes-segment maps and code matrices have been used. The results expressed in two dimensions: instrumental and emotional areas. It has been observed that issues such as burnout, loss of motivation, and future anxiety have often been coded due to poor working conditions of the filiation teams, lack of rewards, and other factors. They have been determined as experiencing social stigma along with fear of infecting their families, and therefore have problems with child care, visiting adult family members in the risk group.

    The Impact of National Culture on the Increase of COVID-19: A Cross-Country Analysis of European Countries
    (2021) Gokmen, Yunus; Baskici, Cigdem; Ercil, Yavuz; 0000-0002-6107-0577; 0000-0003-0712-1481; 33518841
    In recent years, countries have been fighting with increasing momentum against outbreaks. This struggle requires the effective implementation of several measures that are required in medical science. However, the cultural characteristics of each society prevent these measures from being applied in the same way globally. One area in which social scientists have not applied much effort is observing the impact of countries' cultural characteristics in the fight against outbreaks. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether cultural differences among countries have an impact on their fight against outbreaks. This study uses the COVID-19 pandemic?s total cases and selected European countries' cultural dimension scores as data. Due to the differences in the measurement units of cultural and outbreak variables, a stepwise multiple logarithmic regression analysis is preferred to select the proper regression model. The results have shown that power distance has a significant and negative effect on the increase rate of the total COVID-19 cases per million (IRTCCPM). In addition, the results have demonstrated that both individualism and in-dulgence have significant and positive effects on IRTCCPM, at the 95 % confidence level. How -ever, the hypotheses concerning the impacts of masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation on the IRTCCPM are rejected at the alpha = 0.05 level. In light of the findings of this study, it can be asserted that countries act in harmony with their cultural characteristics in the formal or informal practices of their fight against outbreaks. The contributions of the study can be discussed in academic and practical fields.

    The study aims to examine the effects of the COVID-19 on the psychosocial life and the sources of social support of people with rare diseases in Turkey. The research was conducted with 178 rare disease patients. The sociodemographic questionnaire, The Fear of COVID-19 scale, General Health Survey-12, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale average score is 20.20 +/- 6.11, General Health Survey-12 average score is 5.82 +/- 1.77, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support average score is 52.84 +/- 14.23. There is a positive correlation between ages and scores on The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (r = .221, p<.001). There is a negative correlation between the participant's scores on the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale and the General Health Survey-12 (r = -,265, p<.001). It is suggested to develop social service delivery systems to support people with rare diseases.]
