Yayın Unnecessary bleeding, unnecessary suffering: normalcy and necessity of menstruation in promoting NovaSure (R)(Routledge, 2016-08) Erol Jamieson, MaralNovaSure (R) is an endometrial ablation procedure that destroys the inner lining of uterus to stop heavy bleeding. It is performed mostly on women entering menopause who are experiencing irregular and heavy bleeding. In this article, this biotechnology, promoted for women approaching the end of their reproductive life, is analyzed. The analysis is informed by a feminist science studies and medical anthropology background. The discourse of normal' menstruation and representations of menstruation in the promotional materials for NovaSure (R) are explored through a textual analysis of the NovaSure (R) website and patient brochure. The themes in the materials analyzed include the idea of getting back to life, normal' bleeding, and having a choice among different medical procedures and interventions. The possibility of getting rid of embarrassment that accompanies heavy bleeding is also emphasized. It will be argued that NovaSure (R) contributes to the redefinition of what is natural' and necessary' by combining the unnecessary period' idea of pills such as Seasonale (R), which is aimed toward women in their reproductive years, with the unnecessary suffering' idea related to menopausal complaints. While advertising the procedure, NovaSure (R) promotional materials co-construct the ideal user for the technology and reproduce the taboos and embarrassment that accompany menstruation.Yayın Just a progressive step: women’s empowerment in Turkish microcredit practices(Universidad de Granada, 2019-12-15) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Çağlı Kaynak, Elif; Bal, EsraIn developing countries, the economic potential of women has long been under-utilized as a means of lifting households and communities out of poverty. In this respect, microcredit schemes offer an innovative form of social welfare, widely accessible to women. This study examines one such program from the Turkish context: the Maya Enterprise for Micro Finance, a conditional credit opportunity for women to start and/or develop their own businesses, granted by the Foundation for the Support of Women's Work (KEDV). Our study aimed to explore the impact of KEDV's credit transfer scheme on the lives of users, especially in terms of the psychological and economic empowerment of women. Deploying a mixed methods research strategy, we administered and analyzed quantitative surveys (n=336) in order to determine the perceptions, thoughts, insights and reactions of KEDV program users, also conducting qualitative interviews with 21 participants. Our findings indicate that the program was influential in empowering women by increasing their self-confidence and changing their relationship with other people in the household.Yayın Secular but conservative? youth, gender, and intimacy in Turkey(Routledge, 2023-01-01) Özbay, Cenk; Erol Jamieson, Maral; Bağcı, Çiğdem; Özkaplan, NurcanThis article contributes to studies on youth in Turkey by exploring gender, sexuality, intimacy, and relationship practices among college students. Our findings show that there is change (a) towards greater gender equality; (b) about attitudes regarding family, sexuality, and romance; and (c) in understanding and experiencing gendered violence in the groups of students we examined. Progressive values appear to become more common among the participants despite the increasingly conservative tone of the political and cultural climate. However, traditional relationship patterns and norms, including the idealization of monogamous relationships, robust familial ties, and sensitivity for moral reputation, seem prevalent even though these were not associated with the ascendant politico-religious conservatism. By constituting ‘secular but conservative’ intimate selves and relations, our respondents approve the freedom and right to explore possibilities for others, and yet not immediately for themselves, as they preserve an unequivocal moral self.Yayın Ev kadınlarında tükenmişlik ve somatizasyon: depresyonun yordayıcıları(Cyprus Mental Health Institute, 2022-03-09) Karaköse, Selin; Ulusoy, Ayşe NehirÖncül belirtilerinden biri somatik semptomlar olan depresyonun, evli ve çalışmayan kadınlarda daha yaygın görüldüğü bilinmektedir. Ev kadınlarında depresyon araştırmacıların sıklıkla üzerinde çalıştığı bir konu olsa da, alan yazına son yıllarda kazandırılan ve depresyonun yordayıcılarından biri olan tükenmişlik kavramı, somatizasyon ile birlikte henüz ev kadınlarında araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ev kadınlarında tükenmişlik ve somatizasyonun depresyon üzerindekini rolünü araştırmaktır. Kesitsel ve ilişkisel araştırma modeli ile yürütülen bu çalışmaya Türkiye’de yaşayan, evli ve çalışmayan, 20-65 yaş arasında (Ort. =41.74, SS=11.09) 388 kadın katılmıştır. Sosyo-Demografik Bilgi ve Veri Formuna ek olarak, Ev Hanımlarında Tükenmişlik Ölçeği (EHTÖ), Kısa Semptom Envanteri-Somatizasyon alt boyutu (SCL-90-SOMA) ve Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği (DASS-21)- Depresyon alt boyutunu içeren anket bataryası katılımcılara çevrimiçi olaraksunulmuştur. Hiyerarşik çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, yaş, çocuk sayısı ve psikiyatrik tanı kontrol edildiğinde,tükenmişlik ve somatizasyon depresyonu pozitif yönde yordamaktadır. Elde edilen bu bulgular dahilinde, ev kadınlarında tükenmişliğe yönelik müdahale çalışmaları yapılmasının ve somatik belirtilerin depresyonun öncül sinyalleri olarak değerlendirilmesinin depresyonun klinik tablosu ile mücadelede yol göstereceği olacağı düşünülmektedir.Yayın Beyond a paycheck: the influence of workforce participation on women’s cancer screening in Turkey(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2016-12-01) Şen, Celia K Naivar; Lemi, Baruh; Kumkale, Gökçe TarcanThe present study investigates the influence of workforce participation on women’s cancer screening behaviors in Turkey. In cultures with predominantly Muslim populations like Turkey, emphasis is typically placed on a woman’s traditional role as a child bearer. Although the impact of workforce participation on women’s welfare has been studied in various contexts, the relationship between workforce participation and health protective behavior has received scant attention. Using quantitative data from a survey of women aged 40 and above from 33 urban cities in Turkey (N = 483), we examine the influence of workforce participation on breast and cervical cancer screening behaviors. Homemakers were less likely than working/retired women to be up-to-date on screenings. Women with lower income and education screened less; however, workforce participation seemed to have a positive effect on screening among these women. Additionally, working/retired women and homemakers differed from each other in terms of their perceptions regarding their risk of developing cancer (perceived susceptibility). In addition, both perceived susceptibility and women's perceptions regarding their ability to get cancer screening (self-efficacy) were significant predictors of intention to engage in screening in future. In Turkey, homemakers are in a vulnerable position due to lower rates of cancer screening. Furthermore, targeting homemakers for interventions may be easier than trying to identify other low screening groups of women such as those with lower education or income. Interventions raising perceptions of susceptibility to cancer, possibly by targeting neighborhoods during working hours, could be useful in increasing screening rates at risk women.Yayın Technological change and unemployment nexus from a gender perspective: empirical evidence from a panel cointegration approach(Routledge, 2022-06-27) Görkey, SeldaThis study investigates the long-run relationship between technological change and unemployment, focusing on a gender perspective in developed economies. Considering the obstacles women face in accessing labor markets, this study aims to empirically combine the technological change and unemployment nexus with a gender perspective in 20 OECD economies from 1985 to 2019 by using multifactor productivity (MFP) as a proxy for technological change. The findings from Westerlund Panel Cointegration Test and Pedroni's Panel-Dynamic Ordinary Least-Squares (PDOLS) estimator indicate the presence of a long-run relationship between MFP and unemployment rate with diversified gender effects. Even though MFP affects total and male unemployment significantly and negatively in the long run, there is no significant effect on female unemployment for the whole panel. However, the findings by economies are diversified and they indicate the presence of technological unemployment for women in some economies. Thus, the empirical results clearly show that the long-run relationship between MFP and unemployment is affected by gender differences.
