Health reform in Turkey and inclusive policies
Published in Songül Çınaroğlu, Equity and Healthcare Reform in Developing Economies, 2020
Socialization of health services continued to be the primary ideal of the Turkish government during the 1990s (Yenimahalleli-Yasar, 2011). A National Health Policy Document was published in 1993. This comprehensive policy document comprised building blocks of HTP of the AKP government, which were implemented after it came into power. The main features of this document were: (i) family medicine system to improve primary healthcare, (ii) an autonomous secondary and tertiary health service system, (iii) establishing a more rational and performance-based payment system, and (iv) general health insurance system (National Health Policy Document, 1993).

Within the reviewed literature several benefits are highlighted related to socialisation, increased learning, enhanced communication, leadership skills and improved personal growth (Jacobs, 2017; Christiansen and Bell, 2010). Rohatinsky et al. (2017), however, believe that further evaluation needs to be undertaken to support the validity and credibility of these approaches.
The Family
Published in Mary E. Braine, Julie Wray, Supporting Families & Carers, 2018
The family is one of the oldest and most universal of all social institutions. It can exert a powerful influence on individuals in terms of experiences of health and illness, as families play a key role in the nurturing and socialisation of the young and are important as a source of nursing care, caring and information about health and illness.

While IPE is generally well-received in academic settings, the discrete attributes of an educational activity designed to improve the depth of understanding in interprofessional (IP) learning toward knowledge and IP skill attainment remain unclear. For students new to the IPE experience, activities may focus on developing communication skills, promoting awareness of the value of other professions, and facilitating both structured and informal collaborative interactions. These interactions can be defined as socialization, which refers to the values and beliefs that underlie a profession by demonstrating respect for other professionals, understanding the different roles, and sharing common goals toward improving patient care and outcomes. Previous research indicated that novice learners demonstrated heightened negative stereotypes about other professionals’ perceived roles when measuring attitudes and perceptions in primary care IPE initiatives (Reeves, 2000). IPE activities that include opportunities for effective and constructive socialization to occur may minimize the potential of creating misunderstandings and misperceptions about other professional’s roles in practice.

Additionally, it can be said that increased social functioning was observed as a result of the exercise program as a result of the motivating discussions held with the patients prior to the start of the program, the planning of individualized goals, the patients’ active and physical participation in the program, the increased activity the program offered and because the application was a group enterprise. In particular, with their participation in the group activities, the individuals displayed socialization, cooperation and interpersonal learning; these therapeutic factors may be considered to have created a social environment that affected the patients’ functionality. Feelings of belonging to a group, being a part of the community, or being with people who have come together for mutual goals may also have improved functioning (Pieters et al., 2019). The group activities may have given patients the opportunity to interact with others and to expand upon their interpersonal relations by talking with each other and engaging in a cooperative effort.
Measuring Quality of Life in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes at a Diabetes Camp
Published in Comprehensive Child and Adolescent Nursing, 2021
Sidney N. Smith, Vicki L. Moran
One thing that is clear is adolescents with T1D need support, particularly support in matters concerning their future. Support in the form of strong peer relationships is particularly important. Research supports that peer relationships are important for social development and self-esteem especially in the adolescent period (Stam et al., 2006). Strong peer relationships are particularly critical as adolescents with chronic illnesses are at risk for being marginalized by peers for being different (Stam et al., 2006). Healthcare providers must be mindful of the importance of peer relationships during the adolescent period and help patients discover opportunities to engage in socialization with peers, particularly peers living with T1D. Additional research is needed to more clearly determine the link between quality of life and Diabetes management in Adolescents with T1D especially in regards to how glycemic control may impact quality of life. Further research is also needed on adolescent development and the ability of adolescents to accurately assess quality of life living with T1D.
