    (Springer, 2023) Durgun S.K.; Ulaş S.C.
    In this study, determining the knowledge and practices of primary health care professionals regarding maternity blues was aimed. The descriptive study was conducted in the Family Health and Community Health Centers in the city center of Manisa together with health care professionals (N:252). The entire relevant population was tried to be reached without using any sample selection method (n:214). The data of the study were collected with a questionnaire form prepared by the researchers in accordance with the relevant literature. Informative questions were evaluated indefinitely by giving correct answers for one score out of the total knowledge score (32 points in total). The average age of the health care professionals included in the survey was 40.22 ± 8.99. Of the research group, 41.1% was the doctors, and 48.9% was other health care professionals. When the knowledge of the health care professionals about the maternity blues is investigated, 30.4% stated they have never heard maternity blues before, and 41.6% stated not to have received any knowledge about this issue up to date. The mean scores of health care professionals regarding knowledge in maternity blues were 16.85 ± 6.65 (p < 0.05). Maternity blues isn't known by almost half of midwives and nurses. Awareness of health care professionals should be increased by providing in-service training and vocational training on this subject. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    Objective: This study aims to examine the risk perceptions of midwifery and nursing senior students regarding COVID-19 and compliance with vaccination and protective measures. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two academic years on senior midwifery and nursing students (n = 358). In the present study, the descriptive characteristics of the students and the COVID-19 risk perception scale were used. Results: The students’ COVID-19 Risk Perception Scale scores were at a moderate level and a similar level in both years of this study. More than 80% of the students were fully vaccinated, and the family history of COVID-19 was positive in approximately half of them. In the second year of the pandemic, they paid less attention to social distance and avoidance of being indoors. Conclusion: Although the COVID-19 risk perceptions of future health professional students remained at a similar level during the examined period, it was found that in the second year of the pandemic, they started to get used to the process and paid less attention to social protective measures. © (2024), (Escola de Enfermagem de Universidade de Sao Paulo).
