Editorial Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Economic Growth and Health Expenditures Relationship Between Oecd Countries(Frontiers Media Sa, 2023) Tengilimoglu, Dilaver[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Convergence of Economic Growth and Health Expenditures in Oecd Countries: Evidence From Non-Linear Unit Root Tests(Frontiers Media Sa, 2023) Celik, Esref Ugur; Omay, Tolga; Tengilimoglu, DilaverIntroductionThe relationship between human capital, health spending, and economic growth is frequently neglected in the literature. However, one of the main determinants of human capital is health expenditures, where human capital is one of the driving forces of growth. Consequently, health expenditures affect growth through this link. MethodsIn the study, these findings have been attempted to be empirically tested. Along this axis, health expenditure per qualified worker was chosen as an indicator of health expenditure, and output per qualified worker was chosen as an indicator of economic growth. The variables were treated with the convergence hypothesis. Due to the non-linear nature of the variables, the convergence hypothesis was carried out with non-linear unit root tests. ResultsThe analysis of 22 OECD countries from 1976 to 2020 showed that health expenditure converged for all countries, and there was a significant degree of growth convergence (except for two countries). These findings show that health expenditure convergence has significantly contributed to growth convergence. DiscussionPolicymakers should consider the inclusiveness and effectiveness of health policies while making their economic policies, as health expenditure convergence can significantly impact growth convergence. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this relationship and identify specific health policies most effective in promoting economic growth.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 33Effect of Organisational Trust, Job Satisfaction, Individual Variables on the Organisational Commitment in Healthcare Services(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Tekingunduz, Sabahattin; Top, Mehmet; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Karabulut, ErdemThe purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of the organisational trust dimensions, job satisfaction dimensions, and several personal characteristics (age, education status, gender, the department that is worked at, duration of work, income, and marital status) on the organisational commitment. 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 Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7The Problems Experienced by Employees With Chronic Disease During the Covid-19 Pandemic(Mdpi, 2022) Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Tengilimoğlu, Dilaver; Goenuellue, Ugur; Isik, Oguz; Tosun, Nurperihan; Zekioglu, Aysu; Tengilimoglu, Onur; Younis, Mustafa; Tengilimoğlu, Dilaver; Business; BusinessChronic diseases served as a silent global epidemic before the pandemic, and individuals living with chronic disease now form one of the groups most affected by COVID-19. This study aims to determine the problems that employees with chronic disease face during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the study, data were collected from 952 individuals who live with chronic disease in Turkey. Of these, 76.6% of respondents worked for the public sector, a large majority of whom (67.7%) have worked full time during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that the COVID-19 fear level of employees living with chronic disease was higher than moderate (21.061 +/- 7.607). When the variables affecting the COVID-19 fear level are listed in order of relative significance, eating problems, residing in the Mediterranean region, having asthma, and working as a female employee made the greatest impact, respectively. Necessary conditions of work should be provided to those living with chronic disease who could adapt themselves to working flexibly or working from home, so that they would not feel isolated from business life. This group should be provided with essential protective equipment, their working conditions must be reviewed and vaccination priority could be given to them.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Evaluating the Factors (stress, Anxiety and Depression) Affecting the Mental Health Condition of Nurses During the Covid-19 Pandemic(Sage Publications inc, 2022) Isik, Oguz; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Tosun, Nurperihan; Zekioglu, Aysu; Tengilimoglu, OnurThis study aimed to determine the depression, anxiety and stress levels that have negatively impacted nurses' mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample group of 826 nurses working in Turkey were asked to fill in an online questionnaire in order to evaluate their psychological responses and the related factors that have adversely affected their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 696 nurses (84.3%) showed symptoms of depression, 644 (78%) reported anxiety and 543 (65.74%) reported stress. This study also highlighted that the most concerning factor for the nurses was the risk of transmitting the COVID-19 infection to their household members (89.2%). The most important problems faced by the nurses during COVID-19 included equipment shortages (50.7%), administrative problems (38.5%) and issues such as accommodation and nutrition (27.4%). These were found to have a statistically significant correlation with the nurses' levels of depression, anxiety and stress. The fear of losing a household member, the inability to their household's social needs and the fear of death were among the factors that concerned nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly affecting their levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Taking the necessary measures to deal with the aforementioned problems and fears is important to protect the health, productivity and efficiency of nurses during the pandemic period.
