Öğe Formation of Informal Groups in Healthcare: A Field Survey in Istanbul/Turkiye(Sage Publications India Pvt Ltd, 2023) Teker, Cenk; Soyler, Sait; Cavmak, DogancanGroups within the healthcare organisations are widespread subjects of research nowadays. Nevertheless, informal groups are rarely examined in healthcare. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to determine the formation of informal groups and its dimensions in Turkey. A survey design was adopted and sample size was 208. The questionnaire was validated using exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The study unveiled that the ownership of hospitals are prominent determinants of informal groups. Demographic, social and environmentally proximity are the main factors for public employees to take part in an informal group while intellectual life and closeness are the main factors for private sector employees. The study suggests that managers should assume the most part of responsibility to determine employee's abilities, preferences and social features to cooperate with informal groups.Öğe THE COSTS OF MEDICAL CARE FOR COVID-19 PATIENTS: A CASE STUDY IN TURKEY(Australian Coll Health Service Management, 2021) Teker, Cenk; Cavmak, Dogancan; Avci, HakanOBJECTIVE: This study aims to calculate the medical costs of Covid-19 patients for hospitals based on the severity of clinical care. DESIGN: The study was conducted in a hospital in Istanbul/Turkey. A micro-costing approach was performed using historical cost data for one year. All direct and indirect medical inputs were determined in quantities and monetary values for four types of Covid-19 patients in the hospital. RESULTS: The analysis calculated the unit cost of an outpatient to be 459,99 , while the cost per day for inpatient to be 1.184,63 , for non-intubated in intensive care unit to be 1.938,11, for intubated in the intensive unit to be 2.393,99. The study also indicates that the total cost of a non-intubated patient in intensive care units is 1,54 times higher than the total cost per inpatient. An intubated patient's cost is 2,08 times higher than an inpatient's cost. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that Covid-19 patients incur significantly high costs for hospitals. The findings of the study provide empirical data for different types of patients which can be used in clinical management and can help all related governing bodies to plan their actions and make the decisions.Öğe The impact of health anxiety and distrust in the healthcare system on cyberchondria: A cross-sectional study(MA Healthcare Ltd, 2023) Soyler, Sait; Cavmak, Seyda; Cavmak, DogancanBackground/Aims Cyberchondria is when excessive internet searches for health-related issues, a common phenomenon likely fuelled by health anxiety and distrust in healthcare systems, leads to unfounded concerns about physical health. This can prevent individuals from seeking appropriate medical advice when needed. This study explored the relationship between health anxiety, distrust in the healthcare system and cyberchondria. Methods This cross-sectional quantitative study used a questionnaire to collect data from adults living in cities in southern Turkey. A total of 484 questionnaires were sent using Google Forms and distributed via email and social media, with 386 returned. Respondents rated items on 4-And 5-point Likert scales. The data were summarised using descriptive statistics and analysed using inferential statistics and structural equation modeling. Results There were significant positive correlations between health anxiety and cyberchondria (β=0.514) and distrust in the healthcare system and cyberchondria (β=0.283). There were also weak but significant positive relationships between cyberchondria and female sex, having a chronic condition and time spent online. Conclusions Health anxiety and lack of trust for the healthcare system can lead to increased rates of cyberchondria. Effective public health communication strategies are needed to reduce these effects by building trust in the healthcare system and alleviating health anxiety. © 2023 MA Healthcare Ltd.

A Case Study of a Medical Centre in Turkiye(Sage Publications India Pvt Ltd, 2024) Cavmak, Dogancan; Aksoylu, SemraLogistics holds an important role in healthcare provision. One of the significant dimensions of logistics is the cost incurred for these activities. However, the cost of logistics is an overlooked issue in most healthcare organisations. The purpose of this study is to provide an insight into the cost of logistic activities in healthcare businesses. A case study was conducted in a medical centre in Istanbul. Historical data (second half of 2021) were used for the analysis. Activity-based costing method was adopted for cost calculation. In line with this approach, logistic activities of the medical centre were examined, and logistic activity centres were determined. Resource consumption of each centre was determined based on interviews with staff and records of the accounting department. Consequently, the costs of all logistic activities of the medical centre were calculated, and their share in the total cost of service production was determined. The total logistical cost of the healthcare centre was calculated to be ,983 pound. The cost of patient services and transporting activity centres accounted for 49% of total logistical costs. The costs of logistic activities accounted for 15.42% of the total cost of service. The results of the study show that logistic activities have a significant share of the total cost of service production in the medical centre. Activity-based costing is an effective way of calculating costs of logistic activities in healthcare services. Managers can use cost data to improve logistic processes.
