Öğe Experiences of mothers with infants admitted to neonatal intensive care during the covid-19 pandemic: a qualitative study(2024) Albayrak, Selvinaz; Türkmen, Emine; Göktepe, Nilgün; Çağlayan, SabihaObjective: The aim of this study was to reveal the experiences, opinions, and suggestions of mothers with infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during the period of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, as parental participation in the NICU. Method: The study’s data were obtained through semi-structured interview form and the sample of this qualitative study consisted of 11 volunteer mothers with infants admitted to the NICU between May 4 and June 24, 2021. Face-to-face, individual, in-depth interviews were conducted with the mothers. The data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Results: Two themes and six sub-themes were obtained. The two main themes were: (1) Difficulties of being a mother during the pandemic, and (2) difficulties experienced during mothers’ participation in infant care during the pandemic. Mothers stated that they were unable to experience motherhood; that they experienced constant fear, anxiety and worry; and that they did not receive adequate support from their families and health professionals. They reported that they could only visit their infants when close to the discharge date, could not participate in the care process, did not receive adequate information from healthcare professionals, and did not feel fully prepared to care for their infants after leaving hospital. Conclusion: This study showed that due to visitation restrictions, NICU mothers struggled to fulfill their maternal role, demonstrating the inadequacy of family-centered care practices during the-COVID-19 pandemic. During crisis periods such as pandemics, strategies must be employed to develop infant-mother attachment and increase mothers’ participation in the care of their infantsÖğe New graduate nurses' approaches to death and dying patients and the relationship between death anxiety and death awareness a cross-sectional study(2025) Tarhan, Merve; Doğan, PınarBackground: One of the challenges experienced by new graduate nurses during the transition into practice is caring for dying patients. This study aimed to determine new graduate nurses’ approaches to death and dying patients and the relationship between death anxiety and death awareness. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 226 new graduate nurses in Istanbul, Türkiye. A personal and work environment characteristics form, the Approach to Death and Dying Patients Attitude Scale, Templer’s Death Anxiety Scale, and Multidimensional Mortality Awareness Measure were used to collect data. Results: Hardness in communicating with the dying patients (hardness: meaning difficulty) and their relatives and avoiding death and dying patients were considered moderate, with mean scores of 2.64 ±.63 and 2.45 ±.40, out of 4. Death anxiety accounted for approximately 7% of the variance of hardness in communicating with dying patients and their relatives, which is statistically significant. Death awareness statistically significantly explained 9.7% of avoiding death and dying patients. Conclusion: For new graduate nurses, besides simulation-based training on end-of-life care, approaches to sharing their experiences about death and programs to determine a value system related to death may be recommended.Öğe Knowledge and practices of nurses working in urology clinics on fluid-electrolyte monitoring and management(2024) Seyhan Ak, Ezgi; Çulha, Yeliz; Eren, Esra; Özbaş, AyferThe aim of the study was to examine the knowledge and practices of nurses working in urology clinics on fluid–electrolyte monitoring and management. The study sample for this descriptive cross-sectional research comprised 79 nurses employed in clinics providing care to urology patients from June 2023 to June 2024. These nurses had internet access and consented to participate in the study on a voluntary basis. The data were obtained through the ‘Google Form’, which uses a descriptive characteristics form, a fluid–electrolyte monitoring and management knowledge form, and a practice form for fluid–electrolyte monitoring and management. The mean score of the nurses on the fluid–electrolyte monitoring and management knowledge form was 7.48 ± 1.74. The most common practice related to fluid–electrolyte monitoring and management was “I monitor and record additional fluid losses related to vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and drains”. When the mean scores of the fluid–electrolyte monitoring and management knowledge form were compared according to the individual characteristics of the nurses, no statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of the knowledge form according to the characteristics of the nurses (p > 0.05). In this study, the mean knowledge scores of the nurses were above average. When the practices of the nurses for the prevention of fluid–electrolyte imbalances were examined, most of them stated that they monitored additional fluid losses related to vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and drains. The characteristics of the nurses (clinical experience, age, years of working in the profession and educational status) did not affect their knowledge scores.Öğe Predictor scales of cognitive factors affecting physical activity in individuals surviving cancer: psychometric properties of Turkish versions(2025) Kaya, Şura; Esin, Melek NihalBackground: Increasing physical activity in individuals surviving cancer is crucial in reducing treatment-related side effects and recurrence. Valid and reliable measurement tools are needed that will enable the factors affecting exercise to be addressed holistically and theoretically. This study aimed to adapt the Exercise Goal-Setting Scale, Exercise Planning and Scheduling Scale, Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale, and Physical Activity Neighborhood Environment Scale into Turkish language and to explore psychometric properties of the Turkish versions of these scales in individuals surviving cancer. Methods: This methodologically designed research collected data from 153 participants at a hospital in Istanbul, Türkiye. The scales used in the study were adapted to the Turkish language through forward and backward translation and expert opinion. Content validity was assessed with a 2-week test-retest reliability, Cronbach's α reliability coefficient for stability, item-total correlation, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The scales showed good content validity (CVI = 0.95-0.99). Internal consistencies were acceptable to excellent (Cronbach's α =.79-.94), and moderate to good reproducibility estimates were observed (r =.67-.84). The MOEES factor structure also showed excellent fit. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the adapted scales evaluated are valid and reliable for examining physical activity based on social cognitive processes in individuals surviving cancer in Türkiye. The scales examined in the study can be used to determine the cognitive factors affecting activity and to plan effective programs when providing physical activity counseling to individuals surviving cancer in Türkiye.Öğe Effect of evidence-based nursing practices on individualised care: A cross-sectional descriptive study(2025) Özdemir, Cevriye; Şendir, Merdiye; Eren, Rabia; Kubat Bakır, Gizem; Kızıl, HamiyetAim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of nurses' attitudes towards evidence-based practices on individualised nursing care. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive trial. The descriptive analysis included 200 clinical nurses working in a private hospital between April and September 2022. Data were collected with a personal information form, Individualised Care Scale (A-Nurse Version), and Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Questionnaire. The relationship between the scales and effect was examined by Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses. T-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post hoc (Tukey, LSD) analysis were used in the statistical analysis of nurses according to their descriptive characteristics. This study has adhered to the STROBE checklist for reporting. Results: They had high mean scores on Individualised Care Scale total (3.68 ± 1.25) and from Clinical Situation (3.78 ± 1.30) and Decisional Control (3.82 ± 1.35) subscales and average score from the Personal Life (3.32 ± 1.29) subscale. Their mean score from the Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Questionnaire was average (47.64 ± 10.99). There was a positive moderate (r = 0.50, p = 0.000 < 0.05) significant correlation between the scales. Conclusion: Positive attitude towards evidence-based nursing practices positively affects individualised care. Variables such as professional experience positively affect nurses' attitudes towards evidence-based nursing. A positive and significant relationship was found between nurses' attitudes towards evidence-based practice and their attitudes towards individualised care.Öğe Reliability and validity assessment of the Turkish version of the emotional availability and responsiveness in intrapartum care scale (ear-ic)(2024) Yıldırım Varışoǧlu, Yeliz; Irmak Vural, PınarBackground: Emotional availability and responsiveness in intrapartum care increase women's birth satisfaction, comfort, and quality of nursing/midwifery care. In Turkey, there is no instrument for measuring emotional availability and responsiveness in intrapartum care. Aim: An established translation, reliability, and validation approach was used to obtain the Turkish form of the A-EAR-IC scale. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was used. This study was conducted in Istanbul, Turkey. The study sample consisted of 132 Turkish midwives working in the birth room. The construct validity of the scale was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, whereas the concurrent scale validity was tested using the Emotional Labor Behavior Scale. Internal consistency analysis was performed to test the reliability of the scale. Results: The results of the EAR-IC measure showed that it fit the one-factor model. The goodness-of-fit indices of the one-factor model containing eight items were acceptable. The instrument showed satisfactory content validity (I-CVI =0.80-1.00, S-CVI =0.88). According to CFA, the structure with one factor showed acceptable model fit ( χ2/df: 1.74, CFI: 0.96, IFI: 0.96, RMSEA: 0.07, and SRMR: 0.02). Concurrent validity of the instrument was assessed with the "in-depth behavior"subscale of the Emotional Labor Behavior Scale for Nursing. Spearman's correlations revealed that the EAR-IC was moderately positively correlated with the in-depth behavior concern subscale of the ELBS (rho =0.62, P < 0.001). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the EAR-IC is a suitable, effective, and reliable instrument for measuring the emotional aspects of intrapartum caregiving midwives.Öğe The effect of oral water and ice popsicle exposure on the management of thirst in the immediate postoperative period(2025) Eren, Esra; Öztekin, Seher DenizPurpose: Thirst is a high-incidence condition that causes patients to experience problems in the early postoperative period in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). The study was conducted to determine the effect of oral water and ice application in managing early postoperative thirst. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The study was conducted between January and April 2017 with 150 patients who were transferred from the operating room of a university hospital to the PACU and met the research criteria. The patients were divided into treatment (water group = 50, ice group = 50) and control (n = 50) groups. Patients in the intervention group received oral water/ice application after admission to the PACU after surgery. Patients in the control group received routine treatment and care. Findings: In intragroup comparisons before and after the application, there was a statistically significant decrease in thirst, dry mouth, dry throat, and difficulty in swallowing in the water and ice groups (P < .001); ice application was more effective than water application, and there was no significant difference in the control group (P > .05). Conclusions: Postoperative oral water/ice application was an effective and safe nursing intervention to reduce thirst, dry mouth, dry throat, and difficulty in swallowing. Ice application was more effective.Öğe The effect on anxiety and satisfaction of video-assisted education given before an ERCP procedure(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2024) Çevik, Leyla; Rızalar, SeldaProviding education in medical procedures may ensure patients' compliance, reduce anxiety, and increase satisfaction. This randomized controlled research study was conducted to determine the effect of video-assisted education on anxiety and satisfaction given before an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure. A total of 70 patients participated between September 2017 and December 2018. Data were collected with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Visual Analogue Scale. Routine education was given to the control group, while routine education and video-assisted education were given to the intervention group. There was no difference between the state anxiety scores of the groups before the procedure (p > .05). The state anxiety level of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group after the procedure (p < .05). There was no significant difference between the trait anxiety scores of groups before and after the procedure (p > .05). The postprocedure trait anxiety mean score of the intervention group decreased statistically significantly compared with the preprocedure mean score (p < .05). The mean satisfaction score after the procedure was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p < .05). It was determined that video-assisted education decreased state and trait anxiety and increased satisfaction after the procedure.Öğe The vital role of diabetes nurse educators in smoking cessation: A case study from Türkiye(AVES, 2023) Özcan, Şeyda; Çarkoğlu, Aslı; Nichter, Mimi; Nichter, Mark; Aydın, NuranThis paper discusses the development and implementation of a smoking cessation training program for diabetes nurse educators. People with diabetes who smoke have a significantly higher risk of morbidity and mortality. Smoking greatly increases diabetes complications. Surveys were conducted to ascertain how frequently nurses counseled patients to quit and their interest in cessation training. Observations of nursepatient interactions and interviews with diabetes nurses facilitated the development of a culturally sensitive cessation training program. Survey results revealed that diabetes nurse educators recognized the need for training in smoking cessation, as many patients with diabetes do not consider smoking to be harmful for their health. A two-day workshop was developed for nurses on the specific harms of smoking for diabetes patients, including hands-on training in cessation counseling and motivational interviewing. Two months after training, nurses reported that the skills they acquired gave them confidence to counsel patients but identified four challenges to conducting cessation in their clinical settings. Diabetes nurse educators can play a pivotal role in delivering cessation. Training and overcoming challenges to implementation are urgently needed in the time of coronavirus disease 2019 given the dual risks of diabetes and smoking for severe complications.Öğe Development and psychometric property testing of a medical device-related pressure injuries knowledge and practice assessment tool(Wiley, 2023) Demirer, Erdinç; Karadağ, Ayişe; Çobanoğlu Aktan, Derya; Çakar, VildanAimsWe aimed to develop and test the psychometric properties of a Medical Device-related Pressure Injuries Knowledge and Practice Assessment Tool. BackgroundAssessment of nurses' knowledge and practices is critical in the prevention of Medical Device-related Pressure Injuries. DesignThis was an instrument development and testing study. MethodsThe sample of the study consisted of nurses (n = 189). The study was conducted in three phases between January and February 2021. In the first phase, multiple-choice items contained within Aetiology/Risk Factors, Prevention Interventions, and Staging domains were created. In the second phase, content validity and criterion validity were evaluated, and the tool was pre-tested. The third phase examined item difficulty, discrimination index and distractor quality. The test-retest method was used for reliability. ResultsThe Content Validity Index was found to be 0.75, 0.86 and 0.96 for the domains of Aetiology/Risk Factors, Prevention and Staging, respectively. The item difficulty values of the items were between 0.18 and 0.96. A positive, strong and significant relationship was found between the results and a positive, moderate and significant relationship between the tools administered for the proof of scale validity. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was found to be 0.54. ConclusionsThe tool is a suitable measurement instrument for use in nursing education, research and clinical settings.Öğe Personal protective equipment-related problems experienced by healthcare workers, solutions, and recommendations: A qualitative study(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2023) Çakar, Vildan; Karada?, Ayişe; Bugan, Berna; Kılıç, Havanur; Demir, Ayşe SılanurOBJECTIVE To understand the problems experienced by healthcare workers (HCWs) who used personal protective equipment (PPE) on their face during the COVID-19 pandemic, their interventions to prevent these problems, and their recommendations for improving the quality of PPE. METHODS This descriptive and qualitative study included HCWs (N = 29) from health institutions at different levels in Turkey. Researchers collected data using a semistructured data collection form (13 items) and in-depth individual interviews. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and qualitative inductive content analysis. RESULTS Of the 29 participants, 15 (51.7%) were women, and 18 (62.1%) were nurses. Participants' answers regarding problems related to PPE use were grouped into four main categories, answers regarding the prevention of these problems were grouped into three main categories, and answers regarding improving the quality of PPE were grouped into three main categories. Skin concerns were the most commonly reported problems related to PPE, and interventions to prevent these problems primarily related to skin protection and care. Recommendations to improve the quality of PPE focused on using materials for masks and face shields that reduce pressure and friction; participants also suggested that face shields be produced in sterile and disposable packages. CONCLUSIONS This research indicates that HCWs need support and they are able to create individual solutions for the problems with PPE that they experience. Skin-friendly PPE that ensures the safety and comfort of HCWs should be produced, and hospitals should develop policies for institutional use to prevent PPE injury.Öğe The relationship between posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience of nurses working at the pandemic clinics(Wiley, 2023) Atay, Nüvit; Şahin Bayındır, Gizem; Buzlu, Sevim; Koç, Kadriye; Kuyuldar, YusufPurpose: This study aimed to determine posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience and understand the relationship between posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience in frontline nurses. Methods: This study was conducted on 263 nurses working at the pandemic clinics of a hospital of a healthcare group in Istanbul and a public hospital in Bursa between June 20 and September 01, 2020. Data were collected online to avoid the risk of infection using the personal information form, the Connor–Davidson resilience scale and the posttraumatic growth inventory. Findings: There is a significant relationship between posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience in frontline nurses. Nurses with a master's degree have higher psychological resilience than those with a bachelor's degree. Also, those who are reported that they receive organizational support from the nursing services management have higher psychological resilience and posttraumatic growth scores. Participants who worked for the hospital in Istanbul, those who stayed at hotels, and those who had no communication problems with the healthcare team had statistically significant higher posttraumatic scores and subscale scores than others. Also, those who do not think that they can protect themselves from the virus enough have lower posttraumatic growth than those who think so. Conclusions: Psychological resilience was positively correlated with posttraumatic growth and its subscales. Implications for nursing practice: Future studies should follow up on frontline nurses to determine the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological resilience and posttraumatic growth.Öğe Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the prejudice toward people with mental illness scale(Kare Publishing, 2023) Şahin Bayındır, Gizem; Atay, Nüvit; Buzlu, Sevim; Yavaş, Gökçe ÇiçekObjectives: This study was conducted to assess the validity–reliability and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Prejudice toward People with Mental Illness scale. Methods: This was a methodological study conducted between June 1, 2021, and September 1, 2021. The sample of this study consisted of 297 people who were registered at a family health center in Gaziosmanpaşa. The personal information form consisted of 17 questions. It had eight sociodemographic characteristics questions and nine situations participants might find themselves in with people with mental illness. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, item–total correlation, test–retest correlation, Pearson correlation, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient were used. According to experts’ opinions, the content validity index of the items was 0.97. Results: As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, it was determined that the scale had a four-factor structure and consisted of 19 items. The item–total correlations of the Turkish version of the scale ranged from r=0.30 to r=0.68. The total Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.86. Test–retest correlations were found to be statistically significant for the total scale and subscales (r=0.48; p[removed]Öğe Investigation of the relationship between self-compassion and patience levels in nurses working in an emergency hospital and taking care of patients diagnosed with COVID-19(Zamensalamati Publishing Company, 2023) Dost, Ayşe; Kınay, TuğbaBackground: Nurses who are more self-compassionate may be better able to manage the stress and emotional challenges of working in an emergency hospital during a pandemic. They may be less likely to experience burnout or compassion fatigue and may be more resilient in the face of adversity. They will probably be more patient and understanding with their patients and colleagues, and more able to maintain a positive attitude and provide compassionate care. Objectives: This study aims to determine the relationship between the self-compassion levels and patience levels of the nurses working in an emergency hospital and taking care of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted between May and August 2021 on 171 nurses working in an emergency hospital in Istanbul and taking care of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The data were collected using the researcher-made Nurse Information Form, the Self-Compassion Scale, and Patience Scale. Results: The mean rank was found to be 78.03 +/- 12.03 for the Self-Compassion Scale and 37.97 +/- 6.34 for the Patience Scale. A weak positive significant correlation was identified between the nurses' mean rank of the Self-Compassion Scale and the mean rank of the Patience Scale (rho=0.393, P=0.000), interpersonal patience (rho=0.395), and short-term patience (rho=0.191) subscales, whereas a moderately positive significant correlation was detected between the mean rank of the Self-Compassion Scale and the mean rank of the long-term patience (rho=0.442) subscale. Conclusion: It can be said that nurses' self-compassion and patience were at moderate levels, and as their self-compassion levels decreased, their patience levels reduced as well. Institutions should develop in-hospital social activities and policies that are supportive of nurses. Supporting nurses' self-compassion levels with evidence-based programs will also increase their patience levels.Öğe Effect of repeated multipatient simulations on professional readiness among senior nursing students(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2023) Tarhan, Merve; Yıldırım, AytolanBackground: Senior nursing students are expected to be ready in terms of professional decisions and practices as soon as possible after graduation. Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) is a framework to prepare nursing students for practice in the health care system. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effect of repeated exposure to multipatient simulations on senior nursing students' pregraduation transition views, QSEN knowledge level and self-competency, professional readiness, and postgraduation transition shock. Methods: A randomized controlled trial of intervention and control groups with pretest, posttest, and a follow-up was conducted with 78 senior nursing students at a private, accredited, nursing program in Istanbul, Turkey. Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in the intervention group between the pretest and the posttest for self-confidence (P <.01), QSEN knowledge level (P <.01), and professional readiness (P <.01). The QSEN knowledge level (P <.01) and professional competency (P [removed]Öğe Determination of birth satisfaction, mother-infant bonding level of women in the early postpartum period and affecting factors(Istanbul Gelisim University, 2022) Bakır, Nazife; Irmak Vural, Pınar; Demir, CumaAim: This study aimed to determine the birth satisfaction, and mother-infant bonding level of women in the early postpartum period and its affecting factors. Method: The research is descriptive, and the sample of the study consists of 556 women in the early postpartum period who gave live birth in a hospital in Burdur province. The data of the study were collected by using the Socio-demographic Characteristics Form, Birth Satisfaction Scale (BSS), and Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS). The data were collected by the researchers between 15 March-15 August 2019 through face-to-face interviews at suitable times for the women. Results: Of women in the early postpartum period, 45.9% were within the age range of 26–34 years. It was determined that 97.1% were satisfied with the mode of delivery, and 29.5% defined the birth as a fearful experience. The mean DME score of the women was 3.41 ± 1.88, and the mean ABBÖ score was 98.07 ± 6.39. There was no correlation between MIBS and BSS scores of women. The birth satisfaction of women who were married had a vaginal birth and evaluated the birth experience as happy was found to be significantly higher. It was determined that the mother-infant bonding levels of women who became pregnant intentionally and gave vaginal birth were significantly higher. Conclusion: In the present study, birth satisfaction levels and mother-infant bonding levels were moderate and high, respectively, in women in the early postpartum period.Öğe Traditional and complementary medicine perspectives of family physicians in Istanbul(SERNEV, 2023) Atayoğlu, Ali Timuçin; Tokaç, Mahmut; Doğan, Sibel; Güner, Abdullah Emre; Kocayiğit, Erdoğan; Güner, MuharremIntroduction: The World Health Organization, within the scope of the Traditional Medicine Strategy for 2014-2023, recommends the development of integrated health policies, particularly in the area of primary healthcare. However, family physicians often report feeling insufficiently trained to effectively integrate these practices into patient care. This study aims to assess the views, understanding, and experiences of family physicians regarding the utilization of Traditional & Complementary Medicine (T&CM).Methods: The family physicians employed by the Istanbul Health Directorate Public Health Services were solicited to participate in an 18-question online survey to assess their level of education in T&CM methods, their views on integration of T&CM into family medicine, and the impact of these practices on patient care.Results: A total of 324 family physicians took part in the survey; 12.0% were specialists, 64.5% had worked in primary care for over 10 years, and 59.6% were in the age range of 31-50 years. Among the physicians, the majority (70.1%) reported a preference for integrating T&CM practices with conventional medicine (ConvM). The majority of the participants (71.6%) had no formal T&CM training, and 66.4% reported inquiring about T&CM in their patient consultations. Over half of the physicians (56.79%) believed that T&CM methods should be used in preventive medicine. The most widely recognized T&CM technique was cupping therapy (18.5%), which was also the most frequently recommended method by physicians.Conclusion: Most of the family physicians who participated in the study expressed a desire for integrative medicine, despite acknowledging limited formal education in this field. Offering physicians training in evidence-based complementary medicine therapies could provide them with additional non-invasive treatment options. However, patients' diffidence to inform their family physicians about T&CM practices they undergo may pose significant risks. As a result, incorporating education on integrative medicine into formal medical education and residency training may be necessary.Öğe The effect of a brief mindfulness-based stress reduction program on strengthening awareness of medical errors and risks among nursing students(Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Tarhan, Merve; Elibol, EsengülInformation: Healthcare professionals' awareness of medical errors and risks results in effective medical error reporting and patient safety. Mindfulness has positive effects on strengthening attention and awareness. However, little is known about the use of mindfulness in patient safety education among nursing students. This study aimed to examine if a brief mindfulness-based stress reduction program would have a beneficial impact on (a) medical error attitudes, (b) the number of medical errors and risks in a simulation environment, and (c) self-confidence and satisfaction among nursing students. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group was conducted with 78 third-year nursing students at a private, accredited, nursing program in Istanbul, Türkiye. Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in the intervention group between the pre-test and post-test for medical error attitudes (p < 0.001), and the number of medical errors and risks in a simulation environment (p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference in the intervention and control groups for self-confidence and satisfaction (p > 0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that a brief mindfulness-based stress reduction program positively strengthens nursing students' awareness of medical errors and risks.Öğe COVID-19 pandemisi döneminde intörn hemşirelerin mesleki imaj algılarının incelenmesi(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi, 2021) Dost, Ayşe; Aslan Huyar, Derya; Tunçay, Hatice BüşraAmaç: Bu çalışma COVID-19 pandemisi döneminde intörn hemşirelerin mesleki imaj algılarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapıldı.

Veriler “Kişisel Bilgiler Formu” ve “Hemşirelik Mesleğine Yönelik İmaj Ölçeği (HMYİÖ)” kullanılarak Google Forms ile toplandı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %83,8’i (n=145) kadın ve yaş ortalaması 21,86±1,84 yıl olup, %15’i (n=26) COVID-19 tanısı aldığını belirtmiştir. %89,6’sının hemşirelik mesleğini isteyerek seçtiği, %59,5’inin salgında aktif olarak çalışmak istediği, salgın sürecinde endişe boyutlarına dair %67,1’inin “kaygı duyuyorum” yanıtını verdiği, en çok korku, endişe hissettikleri ve bu durumun geçici olduğunu belirttikleri saptandı. İntörn hemşirelerin mesleki imaj ölçeği puanı 153,76±9,38 (min.-max.değerler: 102-174) puan olarak tespit edilmiştir. Kaygı duyduğunu belirten, hemşireler için alınan önlemleri yeterli bulmayan ve hemşirelik mesleğini isteyerek seçmeyen intörn hemşirelerin HMYİÖ sıra ortalamalarının mesleği isteyerek seçenlere göre düşük olduğu saptandı (p<0,05). Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde intörn hemşirelerin mesleki imaj algılarının iyi düzeyde olduğu, ancak kaygı ve korku düzeylerinin yüksek ve çalışma koşulları alt ölçeği puanlarının düşük olduğu belirlendi.Öğe Comparison of nutritional intake and dietary behaviors in overweight/obese and non-obese university students: A school-based study(Marmara University, 2021) Dost, Ayşe; Esin, Melek Nihal; Hızlı Güldemir, HilalObjective: This study was conducted to determine of nutritional intake and dietary behaviors in overweight/obese and non-obese university students. Methods: The sample of this descriptive comparative study consisted of 220 students randomly selected among the university students who were divided into two groups as overweight / obese and non-obese. Data were collected using a daily nutrition log, anthropometric measurements and questionnaire. Results: Of the 220 students admitted to our study, 110 were overweight/obese and 110 were non-obese. Obesity was correlated with the reason for skipping meals, smoking, amount of physical activity (p<0.05). Overweight/obese students have a high scores of Perceived Health Status scale and a low Self-Efficacy to Regulate Eating Habits scale (p=0.00). The scores of the Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile Nutrition scale and the Perceived Health Status scale of the non-smoking students were significantly high (p<0.05). The Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile Exercise scale was significantly higher in the students with high frequency of physical activity (p=0.00). Overweight/obese students had high daily energy, fat, cholesterol, and sodium intake, while all students consumed insufficient amounts of key nutrients like fiber, folate, and calcium (p=0.00). Conclusions: These results emphasize the need to provide students health promotion programs should be implemented at universities to and raise young people’s awareness about making healthy choices that will affect their future.
