    (MEDICINSKA NAKLADA, 2012-01-01) Sahin, Bayram; Cetin, Mehmet; Cimen, Mesut; Yildiran, Nuri
    Aim To determine the extent of Turkish junior male physicians' exposure to mobbing behavior and its correlation with physicians' characteristics. Methods The study included physicians recruited for compulsory military service in April 2009. No sampling method was used, questionnaires were delivered to all physicians, and 278 of 292 (95\%) questionnaires were returned. We used Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terror including 45 items for data collection and structural equation model for data analysis. Results A total of 87.7\% of physicians experienced mobbing behavior. Physicians who worked more than 40 hours a week, single physicians, physicians working in university hospitals and private hospitals, and physicians who did not have occupational commitment were more exposed to mobbing (P < 0.05). Mobbing was not associated with specialty status, service period, age, and personality variables (P > 0.05). All goodness-of-fit indices of the model were acceptable (chi(2) = 1.449, normed fit index = 0.955, Tucker Lewis index = 0.980, comparative fit index = 0.985, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.040). Conclusions Workplace mobbing is a critical problem for junior male physicians in Turkey. We suggest an introduction of a reporting system and education activities for physicians in high-risk groups.

    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2021-01-01) Deniz, Serkan; Akbolat, Mahmut; Cimen, Mesut; Unal, Ozgun
    Background: For a successful treatment outcome, the components of the treatment process are very important. The patient-physician relationship plays a key role in the successful therapeutic process and effective health service delivery. The patient's compliance with the treatment directly affects the success of the treatment. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of the patient-physician relationship on compliance with the treatment and to determine whether shared decision-making has an mediating role in this effect. Patient Involvement: Most of the study participants (55\%) were younger than 35 and their average age was 30. The majority of the participants have an associate degree or higher education. Method: The study used a 4-part survey form as the data collection tool. The sample in this study consisted of 399 participants. To analyze the obtained data, Structural Equation Modeling was used by employing the Smart PLS3 software. Results: The results of the study show that the patient-physician relationship positively affects the patient's compliance with the treatment and shared decision-making. In addition, shared decision-making positively affects the patient's compliance with the treatment. The effect of the patient-physician relationship on compliance with treatment was strengthened through shared decision-making. Discussion: The results of the study revealed that patient-physician relationship and shared decision-making are two important factors in patients' compliance with the treatment. Accordingly, the stronger the patient-physician relationship and the more patients participate in their treatment decisions, the higher their compliance with the treatment.
