Assist. Prof. Dr. Mümin Savaş’s research primarily focuses on public health nursing, digital health literacy, cultural competence, and psychosocial aspects of healthcare. His scientific work integrates quantitative and qualitative methodologies to examine health behaviors, attitudes, and systemic challenges across healthcare populations. A major strand of his research investigates digital literacy, digital game addiction, and healthy lifestyle beliefs among adolescents using structural equation modeling to identify behavioral interrelations. He has extensively contributed to psychometric validation studies, including the Turkish adaptations of various psychological and behavioral health scales such as the PEACE Scale, the Death Depression Scale-Revised, and the Healthy Lifestyle Screening Scale. His studies on nurses and healthcare professionals explore cultural awareness, caring behaviors, and psychological resilience, emphasizing the impact of sociocultural and occupational factors on healthcare delivery. Other key areas include assessing determinants of COVID-19–related deaths, health perceptions, and stress management in clinical settings. His projects also explore contemporary health issues such as e-parenting, cryptocurrency attitudes among nursing students, and the gendered health experiences of women in flexible employment. Collectively, his research contributes to advancing evidence-based nursing practices, promoting holistic health, and improving public health outcomes through culturally and technologically informed healthcare interventions.
