    How do individuals with autism participate in work life? A study on inclusive employability
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2024) Efeoglu, Ibrahim Efe; Kilincarslan, Omur
    Purpose - In studies considering the employment of individuals with autism, the organisational context - which consists of the behaviours and attitudes of employees - has frequently been neglected. This study investigates the employment of workers with autism, who have an intellectual disability (AID) in Turkiye. The study aims to understand the perspectives of managers and co-workers with regard to the employment of individuals with AID. Design/methodology/approach - The authors conducted interviews with 23 people who were the co-workers, managers and parents of workers with AID. They also reviewed performance documents concerning employees with AID and analysed the data using qualitative content analysis. Findings - The employment of individuals with AID has caused concern amongst employees within organisations. However, training activities have raised awareness of autism amongst those employees. This new awareness has overcome initial negative judgements about the employment of individuals with AID, turning these instead into positive ones. Thus, social interaction between workers with AID and their co-workers has increased. Practical implications - This research provides evidence of the positive impact of employees with AID on companies and shows that employing individuals with AID in inclusive contexts improves their quality of life. It also provides guidance for the design of training programmes for employees and the adaptation processes of people with disabilities in the workplace. Originality/value - This study emphasises the role of the organisational context in the successful employment of people with AID in supported employment settings. It could contribute to changing attitudes and negative expectations and guide interventions in these contexts.

    Pandemic experiences of family physicians infected with the COVID-19: a qualitative study
    (Bmj Publishing Group, 2022) Efeoglu, Ibrahim Efe; Kilincarslan, Omur
    Objectives Family physicians are usually patients' first point of contact with primary healthcare. This study aims to understand the experiences of family physicians who were infected with the COVID-19 and started working again. Study design and setting This qualitative study was conducted on 18 different family health centres in Adana. Data collection was performed through 18 interviews, each lasting an average of 46.6 min. The data were analysed using the qualitative content analysis method. Participants The study included 18 family physicians (9 women and 9 men), and there were no significant differences between them by gender or seniority. Results The results of the study have shown that family physicians who were infected with the COVID-19 and started working again have experienced high levels of anxiety at work. In addition, due to the fear of being reinfected, family physicians' social relations with their colleagues have decreased. The results are discussed under two themes: anxieties and social relationships. Conclusion In primary healthcare services, family physicians play a vital role during the pandemic. Many family physicians either lost their lives or got infected with the virus, recovered and worked in difficult conditions for a long time. Understanding the experiences of family physicians during the pandemic when they underwent COVID-19 and after they recovered could help to protect their psychological health and improve their work conditions.
