    Kardiyovasküler Aldatma-Salgını: Kardiyovasküler Tedavilerde Kandırma ve Yanlış Bilgilendirme Epidemisinin Yaygınlaşması
    (Baycınar Medical Publishing - Baycınar Tıbbi Yayıncılık, 2024) Demirkılıç, Ufuk; Tosun, Burcu
    Son zamanlarda, bazı kalp damar cerrahları sıklıkla yanıltıcı terimler kullanarak pazarlama amacıyla sosyal medyayı giderek daha fazla kullanmaktadır. “Kardiyovasküler aldatma- salgını” olarak adlandırdığımız bu eğilim, kardiyovasküler tedaviler için yanıltıcı reklamların salgın benzeri bir şekilde yayılmasını içeren bir durumu yansıtmaktadır. Bu tür yanlış bilgilere maruz kalmanın, profesyonel kaynaklardan gelen bilgiye doğal olarak güvenen hastaları tehlikeye atmakla kalmayıp, aynı zamanda tıbbi etik ve bilimsel doğruluğa olan kamu güvenini de zedelemektedir. Ayrıca, bu durum tedavi reddine ve olumsuz sağlık sonuçlarına da katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu sorunları değerlendiren kapsamlı küresel düzenlemelerin yetersizliği, acilen daha etkili uygulama önlemlerine gereksinim olduğunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır.

    Self-Efficacy as the Saviour: Defending Psychological Well-Being against the Destructive Power of Social Undermining
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2026) Tosun, Burcu; Basim, Hamdullah Nejat; Kibaroglu, Gamze Guner
    Employee psychological well-being is crucial for fostering a positive work environment and ensuring organisational success. Social undermining, which disrupts workplace relationships, often leads to stress, anxiety, and burnout. However, self-efficacy - the belief in one's ability to successfully perform tasks - can help mitigate these adverse effects. This study investigates the detrimental impact of social undermining on employees' psychological well-being and examines the protective role of self-efficacy. Data were collected from 582 employees in the fast-moving consumer goods sector. The findings underscore the importance of prioritising psychological well-being in the workplace and reveal how self-efficacy can act as a buffer against the harmful effects of social undermining. By exploring the interplay between social undermining, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being, this study provides valuable insights into their influence on employee outcomes. Furthermore, the research highlights strategies for minimising the negative impact of undermining behaviours by co-workers and supervisors, thereby fostering a healthier work environment.

    Sport Academics' Awareness and Knowledge of Sustainability in Higher Education in Turkiye
    (Mdpi, 2023) Bor, Ozgur; Tosun, Burcu; Eler, Serdar; Eler, Nebahat
    It is widely accepted that sport plays a critical role in the achievement of sustainable development goals. The sport colleges, faculties, and universities that have undertaken the role to educate students, future trainers, educators, managers, and academic staff naturally have a significant impact on increasing awareness regarding sustainability issues. Therefore, in this study, the awareness, perception, and knowledge of the academic staff working in sport faculties and the factors affecting them are analyzed. For this purpose, a survey including a total of 19 questions is designed to measure the level of awareness regarding sustainable development, and it is answered by 366 faculty members in all 75 sport faculties in Turkiye. The results of the study point out that the vast majority of sport academics at universities have a common, general understanding of sustainability, but insufficient awareness of sustainable development goals and the relationship between sport and sustainable development. Furthermore, recognition and awareness regarding sustainable development seem to be limited at the institutional level. However, the results also imply that a great majority of the respondents are aware of the importance of sustainability and consider it necessary to improve themselves and their courses accordingly. Therefore, including sustainability issues in the curriculum, increasing awareness in all layers of institutions, and implementing sustainability in the entire higher education system with projects, seminars, and on-campus events are recommended.
