    Aim: The objective of this study was to determine skin cancer knowledge and sun protection behavior among nursing students. Methods: A total of 1178 nursing students in the Aegean Region of Turkey took part in this descriptive study. A score for knowledge on protection against skin cancer and a score for protective behavior against skin cancer were calculated. Results: In this study, first year students sunbathed more in the middle of the day than fourth year students, and their knowledge of skin cancer was lower. No statistical difference was determined for protective behavior between the two groups. The knowledge levels and protective behavior of first year students were alarmingly low, but the average scores for knowledge and behavior of the fourth year university students were higher. The knowledge levels of the fourth year students were average but their protective behavior was insufficient. It was found that the knowledge levels and the levels of protective behavior of light-skinned students were higher. Conclusion: This study revealed that the knowledge levels and protective behavior of first year nursing students against the harmful effects of the sun and for protection against skin cancer were alarmingly low. It also showed that the knowledge levels of the fourth year nursing students were average, but that their protective behavior was very insufficient. These findings suggest that it is of extreme importance to acquire knowledge and behavior for protection against skin cancers in the education of nursing students. © 2014 Japan Academy of Nursing Science.

    Democracy perceptions of prospective primary school teachers: Comparison Poland-Turkey; [Sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının demokrasi algısı: Polonya-Türkiye karşılaştırması]
    (Ankara University, 2018) Kartal A.; Öksüz Y.; Baba Öztürk M.; Güven Demir E.
    In this study, the views of the teacher candidates in the two countries were compared. The study was conducted on 36 prospective primary school teachers who were studying at the universities of Ondokuz Mayıs and Kazimierz Wielki during the spring term of 2013-2014 Academic Year. In the research which used “phenomenology” design, one of the qualitative research methods, the data was collected through mind maps. The results of the research showed that the most basic similarity in the views of prospective primary school teachers related to the principles of the concept of democracy was in the concept of “freedom” and when the maps of prospective teachers were examined, it was seen that both groups brought to the forefront the concept of “citizen/human” related to the components of democracy. While prospective teachers in Turkey brought to the forefront the principle of “Equality” which is a democracy principle, it was seen that prospective teachers in Poland brought to the forefront the principle of “Constitution/Rules”. © 2018, Ankara University.
