Yayın Turkish sign language adaptation of the Turkish Health Literacy Scale-32(NLM (Medline), 2022-09-15) Ataseven Bulun, Mehtap; Çepni, Selden; Ermez, YusufSign language speakers are at a disadvantage in terms of health literacy due to the lack of health education materials in sign languages. Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) individuals are excluded from health literacy research due to the lack of measurement tools in their language of excellent f luency. This study aims to provide the literature with a tool that allows the measurement of health literacy among DHH individuals. The Turkish Health Literacy Scale (THLS)-32 was translated into Turkish Sign Language (TSL). After the THLS-32 was translated into TSL in video format, it was tested for validity and reliability. The translated version of the scale was administered to participants from a DHH association in Turkey who are f luent in TSL. Subsequently, a study was conducted with 207 DHH individuals. The study group was assessed in terms of their mean index scores and evaluated to have “limited health literacy” according to the THLS-32 classification. We conclude that the THLS-32 in TSL is suitable to measure health literacy in DHH individuals and to assess the impact of the health education system.Yayın Failure management and analysis of medical devices(Karyay Karadeniz Yayımcılık Ve Organizasyon Ticaret Limited Şirketi, 2025-11-15) Salman, Farah; Çepni, SeldenMedical device failure management is essential for upholding patient safety and healthcare quality standards. However, existing approaches to analyzing and classifying recalls often lack precision, obstructing the identification of root causes and the implementation of effective mitigation strategies. This study proposes a flowchart to enhance the analysis and classification of medical device recalls, with a specific emphasis on addressing software-related failures. The primary aim is to gather extensive data from the Food and Drug Administration's recall database, encompassing various attributes such as device specifications, recall reasons, severity levels, and manufacturer details. By combining manual review processes with advanced classification techniques, the project aims to develop a vigorous and scalable approach to recall classification. The accuracy and reliability of these techniques will undergo rigorous evaluation, contributing to advancements in recall management practices and regulatory oversight. Through this combined approach, the flowchart ensures that the device undergoes thorough evaluation and risk mitigation measures, thereby minimizing potential risks to patient safety and regulatory compliance. Outcomes include the establishment of an accurate integrated flowchart that enhances the understanding of device safety, facilitates proactive risk mitigation strategies, and improves regulatory compliance. Additionally, study findings will inform the development of engineering standards, quality control processes, and ethical guidelines within the medical device industry, ultimately leading to improved patient safety, environmental sustainability, and economic benefits.Yayın A framework study going toward green hospital(Sağlık Bakanlığı Sağlık Hizmetleri Genel Müdürlüğü, 2026-03-18) Bolhasani, Mobina; Çepni, SeldenEnvironmental pollution from hospitals and healthcare facilities has become a critical concern globally, leading to the introduction of the Green Hospital concept. These facilities aim to mitigate the harmful environmental impacts of healthcare activities by implementing sustainable practices, including energy conservation, hazardous waste management, and green purchasing. This study examines the existing challenges and progress toward achieving the benchmarks of a Green Hospital. A twophase research approach was employed: (1) a comprehensive review of existing literature, databases, and studies to define the standards for Green Hospitals, and (2) interviews and questionnaires to gather insights from healthcare professionals involved in green initiatives. Results indicate that frameworks such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and ISO 14000 play pivotal roles in setting sustainability criteria, prioritizing energy efficiency, waste management, and environmentally friendly procurement practices. This research underscores the importance of these standards in guiding hospitals toward greener operations and highlights the ongoing need for innovation to ensure both environmental sustainability and improved public health outcomes.
