High School Youth Peer Education Program an Effective Model to Prevent Substance Abuse happen?
(Kare Publ, 2016) Akkuş, Dilek; Eker, Fatma; Karaca, Aysel; Kapısız, Özge; Açıkgöz, Ferhan
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effect of the "Peer Education Program in Prevention of Addiction" on high-school students' knowledge of addiction and perceived self-efficacy in protection from addiction. Methods: This study was conducted as quasi-experimental through pretest, posttest, and a control group. The in-depth interview method and an open-ended question form were used to obtain the opinions of the individuals who showed a change at the end of the program about the causes of this change. The peer educators (thirteen females, sixteen males) were chosen from students in the 11th grade in three high schools (Industrial Vocational High School, Anatolian High School, and Girls' Vocational High School). The sample of this study consisted of 550 students educated by their peers and 550 students who did not attend any program. The data were collected using the "Socio-demographic Question Form," "Substance Addiction Information Questionnaire," "Self-Efficacy of Teens to Avoid Substance Addiction," and "Peer Education Program in Preventing Substance Addiction Evaluation Form." The data collection tools were applied to the intervention and control groups twice: before and forty-five days after the program. Statistical methods were used in data analysis, and t-test and chi-square test for matched groups. Results: It was found that the information and self-efficacy perception level of the group educated by their peers increased; the difference between the groups was statistically significant. No significant difference was observed in the control group. Almost all of the students who participated in the study provided positive feedback about the program. Conclusion: Peer education can be considered an effective method to reduce addiction in young people.
Determining delirium and risk factors of patients in cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit
(Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2012) Yaşayacak, Aliye; Eker, Fatma
Background: This study aims to determine delirium and risk factors in patients in cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: The study included 55 patients who were hospitalized in the cardiovascular surgery ICU of a university hospital. Between March 2008 and April 2009, the study data were collected using the patient information form prepared by the researchers, confusion evaluation method in ICU, Glasgow coma scale (CKS), Richmond agitation sedation scale (RASS), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) and simplified therapeutic intervention scoring system (TISS-28). Data were analyzed with chi-square, Fischer exact chi-square, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U-test. Results: Delirium occurred in 18.2% (n=10) of the patients. Eighty percent of the patients in which delirium developed had hypoactive type. The points of APACHE II, RASS, TISS-28 among ICU scores increased in the group with delirium. The mortality rate of the patients with delirium was higher compared to the patients without delirium. However, the difference was statistically significant. The length of stay in the ICU was also longer for the patients with delirium. Conclusion: Delirium is a more common pathology than estimated in cardiovascular surgery intensive care patients, particularly presenting with hypoactive type. Nurses have important roles and responsibilities in determining the signs of delirium in patients in the ICU in early stages. Therefore, educating nurses on using delirium assessment scales is essential for the safety of patients and increasing quality of care.
Cyberbullying Among Primary School Students in Turkey: Self-Reported Prevalence and Associations with Home and School Life
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2012) Arslan, Sevda; Savaşer, Sevim; Hallett, Victoria; Balcı, Serap
The current study examined the self-reported prevalence and nature of cyberbullying and victimization among second, third, and fourth grade students (N=372) and explored associated features of home and school life. Of the children in the current sample, 27 percent had been victims of cyberbullying, 18 percent had been aggressors, and 15 percent had been both cyberbullies and victims. Boys were significantly more likely to carry out cyberbullying than girls. Cyberbullying exposure (as both a bully and a victim) was significantly associated with low levels of self-reported school satisfaction (bullies odds ratio [OR]: 2.45; victims OR: 2.10; p < 0.05) and achievement (bullies OR: 3.85; victims OR: 3.47, p < 0.05). Paternal unemployment was also associated with a three-fold increase in the likelihood of being a cyberbully. Increased awareness and regulation is now required within schools and within the home to tackle this escalating problem.
Critical Thinking in Nursing Education: Anatomy of a Course
(Wydawnictwo Adam Marszalek, 2011) Kaya, Hülya; Şen, Hatice; Keçeci, Ayla
This study aimed to determine student opinions before and after the Critical Thinking course included in the curriculum of a school of nursing in Turkey. The study employed a descriptive phenomenological qualitative method and purposeful sampling. The study population consisted of a total of seven students attending the Critical Thinking course. Research data were collected through the Individual In-depth Interview technique and analyzed with the use of a descriptive analysis method. The findings revealed that the critical thinking course had a positive effect on students' opinions about critical thinking. To sum up, critical thinking should be offered as a separate course within curriculum, its efficiency should be subject to continuous assessment and the course should be continuously improved.
Turkish Adaptation of Perceived Stress Scale, Bio-psycho-social Response, and Coping Behaviours of Stress Scales for Nursing Students
(Kare Publ, 2015) Karaca, Aysel; Yıldırım, Nuriye; Ankaralı, Handan; Açıkgöz, Ferhan; Akkuş, Dilek
Objectives: This study was undertaken in order to test the validity and reliability of Turkish forms of three scales developed to determine the type and degree of stress perceived by nursing undergraduates during clinical practices, their bio-psycho-social responses to stress, and their behaviours for overcoming stress. Methods: This study was composed of undergraduate nursing students. Following the Turkish adaptation of perceived stress scale, bio-psycho-social response, and coping behaviours of stress scales, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used for validity, and consistency analysis was used for reliability. Results: Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measures of the perceived stress scale, bio-psycho-social response, and coping behaviours of stress scales were determined as 0.94, 0.93, and 0.87, respectively. For perceived stress scale, bio-psycho-social response, and coping behaviours of stress scales, chi-square values obtained by Bartlett's test were significant. While Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients of the perceived stress scale and bio-psycho-social response ranged from 0.67-0.93, Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the two subdimensions of the Scale Regarding Behavior for Overcoming Stress were found as 0.04-0.40. Conclusion: Turkish adaptations of perceived stress scale, bio-psycho-social response, and coping behaviours of stress scales are valid and reliable tools, which may be used to determine the stress encountered by undergraduate nursing students during clinical practices, their response against stress, and the means by which they overcome it. This method is recommended for use with different samples and in studies intended to determine the stress encountered by nursing students.

The relationship between educational stress, stress coping, self-esteem, social support, and health status among nursing students in Turkey: A structural equation modeling approach
(Churchill Livingstone, 2017) Yıldırım, Nuriye; Karaca, Aysel; Cangür, Şengül; Açıkgöz, F.; Akkuş, Dilek
Background: Nursing education can be a stressful experience. To fully benefit from this experience and develop a positive professional identity, it is essential for nursing students to effectively cope with education-related stress. Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between nursing students' education-related stress and stress coping, self-esteem, social support, and health status. Method: This study utilized a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational design. The sample consisted 517 nursing students from a bachelor program in Turkey during the 2014-2015 academic year. Participants provided data on sociodemographic characteristics as well as completing the following instruments: Nursing Education Stress Scale, Coping Behavior Inventory for Nursing Students, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and General Health Questionnaire. Relationships were examined using multivariate structural equation modeling. Results: Results indicated that nursing students' stress coping levels were affected by self-esteem and social support. Additionally, this interaction appears to affect general health status. Although the direct effect of stress on coping was non-significant, its overall effect was significant within the model. Conclusion: It is necessary to conduct further intervention studies examining the role of self-esteem and social support in facilitating nursing students' stress-related coping during their education.

The Influence of Skill Development Training Program for Spiritual Care of Elderly Individual on Elderly Care Technician Students' Perception of Spiritual Support
(Springer, 2017) Bulduk, Serap; Usta, Esra; Dinçer, Yeliz
Spiritual care means helping an individual protect, maintain and gain all the dimensions of his/her existence. Elderly care technicians face numerous cases or crisis situations in which elderly individuals from different backgrounds question the meaning and value of life. Elderly care technicians must acknowledge that the spirituality is an important element in the way an elderly individual receives healthcare and they must be equipped for this matter. This study was conducted in order to examine the influence of "Skill Development Training Program for Spiritual Care of Elderly Individual," which was carried out with students from elderly care program, on the perception of spirituality support in a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study design with control group. As the data collection form, "Spiritual Support Perception" (SSP) scale was used. The mean scores of the intervention group after the training and after one month are 50.39 +/- 5.34 and 51.13 +/- 4.98, respectively, and those of the control group are 43.16 +/- 4.83 and 42.72 +/- 4.48. A statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of the intervention group from the pretest and the posttests immediately after the training and one month after the training (f = 94.247, p = 0.001). In the control group, however, there was no significant change in the SSP mean scores (f = 0.269, p = 0.77). As a result, this study pointed out the necessity of such training programs for healthcare professionals to make a distinction between their professional duties and their own personalities in order to offer spiritual care to the elderly individual.

Objective: This study was determined Turkish nursing undergraduates may affect stress levels and stress they experience during their studies to determine the socio-demographic variables. Methods: This study, which descriptive cross-sectional in design study was completed with 821 students. The data was collected using the, information, forms and Stress in Nurse Education Questionnaire-SINE are collected. Results: Although average total scores of academic stress and practical stress, which are subdimensions of SINE, were close to each other, the score of academic stress was found to be a bit higher. Monitoring a suffering patient with regard to clinical stress was determined as the most stress-inducing situation. Being criticized by an instructor in clinic practice and fear of making a mistake while providing care were among other clinic stressors mostly reported by students. The difference between average subdimension and total scores for SINE according to universities in which students studied, gender, and perceived academic achievement was found to be significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Preparing for exams, sitting for exams, and anxiety for being evaluated were the major academic stressors of nursing students. Monitoring a suffering patient, being criticized by an instructor, and fear of making a mistake while providing care were determined as clinic stressors.

(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Karaca, Aysel; Şener, Dilek Konuk
Mothers of children with developmental disabilities suffer from tremendous stress and anxiety. These mothers may use religion and spirituality as coping mechanisms to help them adjust to changes emerging in their lives as well as to resolve problems. This study evaluated the spiritual needs of mothers of children with developmental disabilities and analyzed the effect of spirituality on their lives. This is a descriptive and qualitative study carried out at the School for Children with Mental and Physical Disabilities in Turkey. The study group consisted of the mothers of 28 children with developmental disabilities. The results of the study revealed four main themes: 'The journey to acceptance;' 'The meaning/purpose of life;' 'Concerns about the future;' and 'Coping strategies.' The results of the study showed that mothers of children with developmental disabilities in Turkey often use spirituality as a coping method. Using spirituality, they were able to handle the stress of their new lives. They began to see their children as giving meaning/purpose to their lives and experienced enhanced feelings of love/commitment. The mothers were most concerned about the fate of their children after the parents had passed away.

(Springer, 2014) Arslan, Sevda; Akkaş, Özlem Altınbaş
Understanding the complexities of a students' quality of life has become essential in order for universities to plan their spending most efficiently. This study tests a model which was used to judge the satisfaction of college life and evaluates the overall impact of quality of college life (social, academic, and service satisfaction), life satisfaction, and identification. Secondly, the study assesses the impact of a university's academic program, social life, facilities, and services on the students' college life quality in this sample in relation to similar studies from Turkey and other countries. The survey included 1,260 students attending a public university in northwestern Turkey. Measurement tools included the quality of college life scale (QCL), Satisfaction with college life scale, identification scale satisfaction with life scale and personal information form. The results show social satisfaction has the strongest positive impact on QCL. This study found that life satisfaction and university identification had a positive impact on a university student's satisfaction with college life. According to survey results it is also suggested that University administrators can primarily focus on improving the social satisfaction of the students then improve facilities and services, in order to raise academic satisfaction levels.

(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Karaca, Aysel; Ünsal, Gül
Purpose: The aim of our study was to determine the factors affecting the psychosocial problems of infertile Turkish women and to identify their coping strategies. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. We conducted in-depth interviews to examine the psychosocial problems faced by infertile Turkish women. The participants were selected in two stages. In the first stage, 118 women diagnosed with primary infertility completed a personal information form and the Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI). In the second stage, in-depth interviews (lasting 45-90 minutes) were conducted with 24 (age 20 to 41 years) infertile women randomly selected from the groups formed according to their FPI global stress levels determined in Stage 1. Content analysis was used to examine the qualitative data. Results: The results comprised nine main themes regarding the psychosocial problems encountered by women and the methods used to overcome these problems. These included the meaning attributed to being childless, negative self-concept, perceived social pressure, perceived social support, psychological symptoms, social withdrawal and isolation, spiritual coping, cherishing hope/restructuring life, and adopting traditional methods. Social pressure and stigma were common. Infertility was found to negatively affect the participants' self-perception and view of life. The women used spiritual methods for overcoming stress and avoiding society, as well as traditional fertility remedies. Conclusions: Infertile women suffer from various psychosocial problems because of infertility and they adopt emotion-focused coping methods. Copyright (C) 2015, Korean Society of Nursing Science.

Predictors of hypertension control in Turkey: the MELEN study
(Verduci Publisher, 2013) Baltacı, Davut; Erbilen, Enver; Türker, Yasemin; Alemdar, Recai; Aydın, Mesut; Kaya, Ahmet; Özhan, Hakan
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is one of the most common causes of atherosclerosis, morbidity and mortality in adults. A total of 11 million hypertensive patients were estimated in Turkey. AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, awareness and control of hypertension in Duzce and compare the current data with the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The visits were carried out in May and June, 2010 in Yigilca town health centre on 2298 participants (1471 female, 827 male with a mean age of 50). Data were obtained by a simple form, physical examination and sampling of blood. Hypertension was defined as a blood pressure 140 mmHg and/or 90 mmHg, and/or use of antihypertensive medication. The data of patients under control were compared with the patients who were not under control. RESULTS: Hypertension was detected in 964 participants. General prevalence was 42%. Hypertension awareness ratio was 70%, use of antihypertensive medication was 39% and the ratio of patients under control was 28%. Antihypertensive drug use, age and awareness were lower in the uncontrolled group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that only antihypertensive drug use and BMI < 30 were the independent predictors of hypertension under control [Odd's ratio (OR) = 3.43; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.54-4.64, p < 0.001 and OR = 1.69; 95% CI = 1.23-2.32, p = 0.01; respectively]. CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension is one of the most important public health problems in Turkey. According to the literature data the awareness of hypertension was increased significantly in the last five years. On the other hand, control ratio was increased very little compared with the previous studies.
Parental attitudes toward pediatric use of complementary/alternativemedicine in Turkey
(Wiley, 2017) Top, Fadime Üstüner; Şener, Dilek Konuk; Cangür, Şengül
Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the pediatric usage of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) by parents in Turkey, the incidence of using these methods, and the factors affecting their use. Design and Methods: The sectional and relational design of the study included a sample of 497 parents who took children for treatment at the Maternity and Children's Hospital in Giresun, Turkey. Data for the study were collected via the Personal Information Form and the Evaluation Form for Complementary/Alternative Treatment Use. The data collection tools were filled out by the researchers during the face-to-face interviews. Data obtained from the study were analyzed by Pearson chi-square, Fisher-Freeman-Halton and Fisher's exact (posthoc Bonferroni) tests and Z-test. Results: It was determined that 97.7% of the parents had used at least one CAM method. Moreover, the parents had used CAM methods mostly for respiratory complaints. The CAM methods were most commonly used for the symptoms of fever, diarrhea, and cough. It was observed that the most commonly used alternative methods in the past were vitamin/mineral remedies, cold treatments, and hodja (Islamic teacher) consultations, while the most common alternative methods currently used are massage, music, and cold treatment. In addition, the differences found between CAM users in terms of sociodemographic characteristics were not statistically significant. Practice Implications: : It is crucial for nurses to learn the characteristics of the health/disease treatments used by those with whom they work in order to increase the efficiency of the service they provide. Thus, it was recommended that nurses should be knowledgeable and aware of the benefits/side effects, treatment methods, and contraindications of CAM.

Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar hemşire eğitimcilerin klinik eğitim ortamındaki stres yaratan faktörleri tanımlamaları ve uygun çözüm yollarının tartışılması için önemlidir.
Investigation of Preventive Practices for Surgical Fires and Burns in the Operating Rooms of Four Tertiary Hospitals
(Istanbul Univ, Fac Nursing, 2018) Aygın, Dilek; Usta, Esra; Bozdemir, Havva; Uçar, Nursen
Aim: The present study aimed to investigate surgical fires as well as the precautions taken in the prevention of fire in four training and research hospitals in the Western Black Sea Region and Eastern Marmara Region. Method: The descriptive study was conducted with the participation of 148 nurses working in operating rooms. A questionnaire structured by the researchers was used as the data collection tool. The data was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS 21.0. Statistical comparisons were made using Kruskall Wallis, Mann Whitney U, Student t, Pearson Correlation and Chi-square tests. The confidence interval was predetermined to be <0.05. Results: Of the nurses, the mean age was 35.00 +/- 5.88 years. Only one of the nurses had dealt with a surgical fire, but nearly half of the nurses (46.3%) referenced burns which their patients were exposed to during surgery. Regarding the prevalence of burns, 86.4% of the nurses who had faced burns defined it as a very rare situation.The mean score that the nurses obtained from the list of measures taken for the prevention of surgical fire and burns was 51.45 +/- 16.06 (min.-max.: 20-88) and their knowledge was determined to be moderate. Conclusions: The present study determined that most operating room nurses take some precautions for fire safety, but these are insufficient and lacking.
Internet addiction and physical and psychosocial behavior problems among rural secondary school students
(Wiley, 2015) Gür, Kamer; Yurt, Seher; Bulduk, Serap; Atagöz, Sinem
The aim of this study was to determine secondary school students' levels of Internet addiction and the physical and psychosocial behavior problems they face while using the Internet. This descriptive study was conducted in three state secondary schools in a rural area in the western part of Turkey. This study's sample consisted of 549 students who agreed to participate, with the consent of their families, and who had an Internet connection at home. The data were evaluated using t-tests and variance analyses. In this study the students' score of Internet addiction was at medium level (mean addiction score 44.51 +/- 17.90). There were significant differences between the students' Internet addiction scores and the presence of physical behavior problems (going to bed late, skipping meals, eating meals in front of the computer) and psychosocial behavior problems (suffering from conditions such as restlessness, anger, heart palpitations, or tremors when they could not connect to the Internet, decreased relationships with family and friends, feelings of anger, arguing with parents, and finding life boring and empty without an Internet connection).
