    Supply chain unethical behaviors and continuity of relationship: Using the PLS approach for testing moderation effects of inter-organizational justice
    (ELSEVIER, 2015) SERT, GÜRKAN; Kaynak, Ramazan; Sert, Tuba; Sert, Gurkan; Akyuz, Bulent
    Unethical behaviors in supply channels have been analyzed extensively in the business ethics literature. However, specifically regarding the medical supply chain literature, analysis of unethical behavior in a buyer-supplier relationship has received limited attention. The importance attached to ethical values in buyer-supplier engagements positively affects the continuity of the relationship. In this study, the following issues have been investigated: (1) whether the unethical behaviors of the supplier have a negative impact on the continuity of the relationship between the parties, and (2) the moderating effects of the procedural and distributive justice of the buyer on the relationship. Data have been collected from 307 pharmacies and analyzed utlizing the PLS (Partial Least Squares) based structural equation modeling technique. The findings obtained indicate that only the deceitful unethical behavior of the supplier directly affects the continuity of the relationship. At the same time, procedural and distributive justice of the buyer negatively influences the continuity of the relationship. However it has been determined that procedural and distributive justice do not moderate the relationship between the unethical behavior and continuity of the relationship. The research that has been carried out brings forward important results with regard to all suppliers that intend to develop relationships with the pharmaceutical sector and buyer firms.

    Protecting privacy in mandatory reporting of infectious diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic: perspectives from a developing country
    (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-10-05) SERT, GÜRKAN; Sert, Gurkan; Mega, Ertunc; Karaca Dedeoglu, Aysegul
    Mandatory reporting of infectious diseases (MRID) is an essential practice to prevent disease outbreaks. Disease notification is a mandatory procedure for most infectious diseases, even during non-pandemic periods in healthcare. The main rationale behind MRID is the protection of public health. The information and data provided by infectious disease reports are used for many purposes, such as preventing the spread and potential negative impact of infectious diseases, assessing the national and global situation regarding reported diseases, conducting scientific research and planning health policy. In this context, the relevant information benefits public health, health systems and scientific work. Additionally, the follow up and treatment of individuals with infectious diseases is a necessity in certain cases to protect those who cohabit with them. However, these benefits cannot be accepted as unrestricted justifications for MRID, since it is evident that reporting should be conducted within ethical and legal boundaries. MRID should only be devised and implemented with due regard to balancing potential benefits between all individuals, as well as between the individual and the rest of society. Disease notification systems that are not designed with a balancing and harm-reductionist approach may lead to stigmatisation and discrimination. This study aims to investigate the legal framework and ethical issues regarding the reporting of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in Turkey-which is a primary example of a developing country.

    Individuals living with cancer in turkey and the covid-19 pandemic
    (2022-06-01) SERT, GÜRKAN; SERT G., TORUN S., KARATAŞ M., Gozderesi Y., OKUYAZ S., Yalcin S. O., YILDIRIM G., Nazik S.
    The aim of this study is to determine the problems faced by individuals living with cancer (ILCs) in accessing health services during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. This qualitative study\"s sample consisted of 18 volunteer interviewees from 10 cancer-related patient associations in Turkey. Research data were collected by semi-structured interview method. Data collection and analysis were carried out simultaneously. In the sessions where all researchers participated together, the data were coded with a common view, and main and sub-themes were determined. In die analysis of the data the inductive thematic analysis method was applied. Information was gathered under two main themes: compliance with the measures taken and access to health services. Lack of information about nutrition, physical activity, psychological problems, caused by the lockdown and social distance measures taken within the scope of the pandemic should be accepted as problems within the scope of the right of individuals to access health, and additional programs should be prepared to minimize these. Cancer types should be considered in delaying diagnosis, treatment, and controls related to cancer, so that patients are not harmed at least or at all. It is important to ensure that patients do not hesitate to attend diagnosis, treatment, and controls with the anxiety of being infected with COVID-19, both in transportation to health facilities and in terms of preventing transmission in health facilities.
