A decision analytic model for early stage breast cancer patients: lumpectomy vs mastectomy Elele, Tuğba; Güven, Yusuf Çağlar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) The purpose of this study was to develop a decision model for early-stage breast cancer patients. This model provides an opportunity for comparing two main treatment options, mastectomy and lumpectomy, with respect to quality of life by making use of Decision Theoretic Techniques. A Markov chain was constructed to project the clinical history of breast carcinoma following surgery. Then, health states used in the model were characterized by transition probabilities and utilities for quality of life. A Multi ...
A decision matrix based method for determining priorities of quality improvement projects in manufacturing with inspection error and rework Dolgun, Leman Esra; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) The purpose of this study was to develop a decision model for early-stage breast cancer patients. This model provides an opportunity for comparing two main treatment options, mastectomy and lumpectomy, with respect to quality of life by making use of Decision Theoretic Techniques.

The Psychometric Properties of Cancer Behavior Inventory as a Predictor of Quality of Life in Turkish Cancer Patients Bozo Özen, Özlem; Akyüz Yılmaz, Cansu (2019-02-01) In the literature, studies showed that self-efficacy of cancer patients are related to their quality of life in different domains. Considering the need of a scale measuring cancer related self-efficacy in Turkish culture, the objective of the current study was to examine psychometric reliability and validity of Cancer Behavior Inventory (CBI) in Turkish cancer patients. One-hundred and twenty cancer patients participated in the study. In addition to CBI, participants were administered Beck Depression Invent...
The effect of dispositional optimism on posttraumatic growth: Testing the moderator role of ways of coping between dispositional optimism and posttraumatic growth in Turkish breast cancer patients Bozo Özen, Özlem; Gündoğdu-Aktürk, Elçin (2008-06-01) The aim of the present study was to examine if coping strategies mediate dispositional optimism–posttraumatic growth relation in postoperative breast cancer patients. The data were collected from 90 patients in two hospitals. Regression analyses revealed that problem-focused coping fully mediated dispositional optimism–posttraumatic growth relation, but emotion-focused coping did not. That is, postoperative breast cancer patients who were optimistic were more likely to use problem-focused coping strategies ...
An analysis of the maincritical factors that affect the acceptance of technology in hospital management systems Peker, Can; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2010) The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989) in order to contribute the acceptance of Hospital Management Systems in hospitals. The study also aims to extend the TAM by adding external variables. Thereby the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and external TAM factors and how these relationships will affect the behavioral intention to use the technology will be determined. In this study quantitative research me...
