As part of our university's 2024-2025 Spring Semester activities, an event titled "The Importance of a Psychosocial Approach in Dialysis Patients" was held, highlighting an important issue in healthcare. The event was attended by Prof. Dr. Mualla Yılmaz from the Department of Mental Health and Disease Nursing at Mersin University's Faculty of Nursing.

In her comprehensive presentation, Prof. Dr. Mualla Yılmaz emphasized the importance of supporting patients undergoing dialysis treatment not only physically but also psychologically and socially.
