Article Citation - WoS: 3Evaluation of Students' Opinions Regarding Distance Learning Practices in Turkish Universities During the Covid-19 Pandemic(Tuba-turkish Acad Sciences, 2021) Isik, Oguz; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Tekin, Perihan Senel; Tosun, Nurperihan; Zekioglu, AysuThe purpose of this study is to identify hether students at Turkish universities are having difficulties in the distance learning process and to reveal their opinions regarding the system. Using a cross-cultural survey design, data were collected from 5052 students. Based on the collected data, 58.5% of the students have asynchronous distance learning classes in their universities. Access to distance learning classes is one of the problems, and it is attributed to computers, internet, and connectivity issues as well as with starting the lessons too early or late. A majority of participants (73.7%) found class materials uploaded by lecturers to distance learning systems to be sufficient or partially sufficient, and 36.7% stated that they had problems accessing resources regarding their homework. Students' satisfaction level with the distance learning system scored 4.4 out of 10. According to the evaluation regarding whether the level of satisfaction of participants varied across the type of university, the satisfaction level of students in public universities is generally low (score of 4.3 out of 10) compared to satisfaction in foundation universities (4.9 out of 10).Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20The consumers' social media use in choosing physicians and hospitals: the case study of the province of Izmir(Wiley, 2017) Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Sarp, Nilgn; Yar, Cemre Eda; Bektas, Meral; Hidir, Mehmet Nil; Korkmaz, EsinManifested as a reflection of the Internet technology progress, web 2.0 has transformed communication among people to different dimensions while increasing the social use of Internet. Thus, the concept of social media has entered our lives. Blogs, forums, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube applications are but few of the social media platforms with active users exceeding millions. As in many other subjects, these and others are also environments where people share information and their positive or negative experiential views with respect to healthcare issues and services. Hence, the social media communication and exchange of information are deemed influential on the process of receiving health services. In the present study that aims to determine social media use of individuals in their choice of physicians, dentists and hospitals, a survey, as a data collection instrument, has been carried out to 947 residents of the province of Izmir. Individuals participating in the study have stated that they have used social media in choosing a physician (41.9% of the participants), dentist (34.1% of the participants) and hospitals (41.7% of the participants). The study has revealed that individuals are affected by social media in their healthcare choices.

This study examined the current status of informal payments in Turkey and the opinions, attitudes, and behavior of individuals toward informal payments. To examine this concept, 1,033 residents in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, were surveyed. The 28-item questionnaire used in data collection was developed based on previous research and expert opinions. The data analysis revealed that approximately 29% of the study participants made informal payments in return for the medical service they received. Three out of 4 people who made informal payments were from a low-income group. Informal payments were made in the form of cash prior to medical procedures and also as gifts following the procedures. Future recommendations for health policymakers include designing a new patient copay mechanism where informal payments can be effectively incorporated into the formal payment system, assistance to low-income individuals, and improvement in current medical staff salaries that would discourage taking such payments.Article Yapay Zekâ Benimsenmesi ile Marka Sermayesi Arasındaki Karşılıklı Etkileşim: Türkiye Üzerine Ampirik Bir İnceleme(2025) Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Bas, Mehmet; Dikici, İlkeGünümüzün dijitalleşen iş dünyasında, Yapay Zekâ (YZ) teknolojilerinin benimsenmesi, iç marka yönetimi açısından işletmeler için stratejik bir unsur haline gelmiştir.

Methods: This study analyzes Turkey's oral and dental healthcare system and its problematic issues and surveys other systems and reform strategies being implemented worldwide. The questionnaire-based field survey asked 560 dentists and 84 managers working in public oral and dental healthcare centers in 12 different regions and 52 central and chamber directors affiliated with the Turkish Dental Association about dental health issues and potential restructuring in dental healthcare in Turkey. The survey comprised four sections that, in addition to gathering participant information, inquired into the current overall condition of the Turkish dental healthcare system, the problems necessitating system restructuring, and recommendations to resolve these problems. Results: Participants agree that there are structural and functional problems in Turkey's dental healthcare system. Although there is an overall consensus in regard to the recommendations for resolving the problems, priorities differ among participant groups. However, participants do agree that preventive services in Turkey are insufficient and require improvement. Conclusions: This study exposed issues in oral and dental healthcare services in Turkey that fall into four categories: management and organization, service delivery, human resources, and financing. Based on the results, we propose a new organization model for oral and dental healthcare in Turkey that is integrated within the healthcare system using a public health approach and that prioritizes preventive healthcare services.

In this study, all staff working at a public hospital in Bingol, Turkey, have been taken into consideration. A total of 516 questionnaires were taken into consideration for data analysis in this study. In the study, organisational trust dimensions, job satisfaction dimensions, and personal variables were found to explain affective commitment variable in the proportion of 37.5%; continuance commitment variable in the proportion of 27.2%; and normative commitment variable in the proportion of 39.8%. This study revealed that cognitive trust, managers, communication, the structure of work, gender, and the department worked (laboratory or surgery room) were the significant predictors of affective commitment. Income, cognitive trust, education status, emotional trust, and the structure of work and additional opportunities have been found to have a meaningful effect on continuance commitment. Cognitive trust, promotion, managers, the structure of work, education status, emotional trust, and the structure of work, gender, and emotional trust had a meaningful effect on normative commitment. This study could have potential practical implications in healthcare management.Article Health Beliefs and Attitudes: a Comparison Between Turkey and Palestine(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Menawi, Wafaa Allam; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Dziegielewski, Sophia F.The purpose of this study is to identify the beliefs and attitudes that influence health-related behavior while comparing two countries that can have different political and economic structures. This study also gathers both Turkish and Palestinian citizens' beliefs and attitudes towards health determinants. To assess and compare citizens' attitudes toward health care and health determinants a total of 4,100 questionnaires were distributed, whereas 2,600 were distributed in Turkey, and another 1,500 questionnaires in the Palestine. According to the research, the individuals surveyed in Turkey noted that smoking, stress, and getting access to a medical institution were noted as the most influential determinants which affect their health; whereas, the people of Palestine thought that income status, and educational levels were the most influential factors in health. In addition, it was found that there were some statistically significant differences between participants' responses in Turkey and Palestine; however, what both samples shared was that economic factors were an important factor affecting health beliefs and attitudes, regardless of where a participant lived. Finally, comparisons and future recommendations are made to improve health-related beliefs, attitudes and behaviors in both countries.Article Analyzing the Criteria Affecting Transition To Airplane by Comparing Different Methods(Mehmet Akif Ersoy Univ, 2022) Reyhanoglu, Izay; Tengilimoglu, DilaverThis study, using the multi-vehicle approach, discusses the criteria affecting the transition from alternative transportation modes (car, train, bus) to air transportation between city pairs that neither have a hub status nor non-stop flights between them. If these criteria change, the demand for air transportation will increase. For this purpose, a survey was conducted in the provinces of Kayseri and Bursa, which are among the important trade, industry, and tourism centers in Turkey, in the course of three months between January and March, 2018. Logistic regression, the artificial neural network model, and clustering analyses were applied to the data compiled from questionnaires responded to by 501 individuals in Kayseri and 453 individuals in Bursa. According to the empirical findings, it was concluded that the most significant criteria in the transition to air transportation according to all three methods are the cost of travel/ticket price and non-stop flight. Additionally, it was observed that the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) model made more accurate predictions compared to others. This study is important since it compares three different methods for the purpose of criteria determination concerning the choice of transportation modes.Article Mapping the Literature on Thermal Tourism: A Bibliometric and Content Analysis(Conscientia Beam, 2025) Alqaifi, Faten; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Aras, Ilknur ArslanThis study explores and maps the existing literature on thermal tourism to provide comprehensive insights and inform future research directions. The research design is based on a bibliometric analysis of 48 documents published between 2013 and 2023 and indexed in the Web of Science database. Data were processed and visualized using Microsoft Excel and Bibliometrix, followed by a content analysis of 42 English-language articles to capture thematic developments in the field. The findings indicate that, despite a temporary decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, publications on thermal tourism have shown strong growth and recovery, with an annual growth rate of 46.65%. The most significant contributions originated from Portugal, China, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and Japan, with research disseminated across 37 journals. Four central themes were identified: (1) tourist behaviors and satisfaction, (2) demand and motivations, (3) quality and resource management, and (4) strategic and sustainable development. Among these, tourist behaviors and satisfaction emerged as the most prominent research area, representing 38.10% of the analyzed literature. This paper addresses a gap in the literature by mapping the knowledge landscape in the relatively underexplored field of thermal tourism, highlighting its growth potential and proposing a future research agenda. The practical implications suggest that recognizing these trends and themes can help policymakers, industry stakeholders, and academics develop strategies to enhance sustainable practices and expand opportunities in thermal tourism.
