Publication Metadata only A comparison of parenting dimensions between deaf and hearing children(Sage Publications Inc, 2016) Ekim, Ayfer; N/A; Ocakçı, Ayşe Ferda; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 1729Effective parenting is vital for intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development of a child. This study examined the differences between the parenting dimensions of deaf children and healthy ones. The sample of the study consisted of 292 children and their parents (146 of them deaf children and 146 of them healthy ones). Dimensions of parenting (warmth, rejection, structure, chaos, autonomy, and coercion) were measured using the Parent as Social Context Questionnaire. The mean scores of the positive parenting dimensions of warmth and autonomy of deaf children were significantly lower; however, the mean scores of the negative dimensions of chaos and coercion of deaf children were significantly higher than those of healthy ones. Deaf children can become successful adults with the help of their parents. Our results regarding parenting dimensions will be a guide for future nursing interventions planned to develop the relationships between deaf children and their parents.Publication Metadata only A qualitative evaluation of online active learning modalities in the chronic wound management lecture of nursing students' experiences in Turkey(Elsevier, 2022) Shoqirat, Noordeen; Singh, Charleen; Mahasneh, Deema; N/A; Şengül, Tuba; Karadağ, Ayişe; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; School of Nursing; 59230; 3549N/APublication Metadata only A survey of Turkish nurses' knowledge of incontinence-associated dermatitis(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019) Sahin, Firdevs; Avsar, Pinar; N/A; Karadağ, Ayişe; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 3549PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) among nurses working in intensive care units. DESIGN: Descriptive study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: The study was conducted in 6 intensive care units of a 550-bed academic research hospital in Turkey. Licensed practical and registered nurses with a minimum of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree employed full-time on these units were invited to participate. METHODS: The survey consisted of statements that examined the demographic characteristics (14 questions) and knowledge levels (59 statements) of the nurses. For each statement, nurses were required to mark only one of the following options: "correct," "incorrect," or "no knowledge." Data were collected from July to September 2016. The Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, post hoc multiple comparison test, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Of the 126 RNs who participated in the study, 46.83% (n = 59) had an undergraduate degree in nursing. The majority (29.37%) practiced in gastroenterology surgery and urology intensive care units. The mean knowledge score was 33.05 +/- 10.16 (min = 0, max = 59). The most correctly answered statement (94.44%; n = 119) was "The pH of the skin plays a role in skin barrier function." The statement with the most incorrect or "no knowledge" answers (96.03%; n = 120) was "The natural moisturizing factor found in the structure of corneocytes helps the skin to maintain its oil levels." Based on correctly answered statements, we found knowledge levels of the prevention and treatment of IAD were higher among nurses with a master of science degree in nursing (40.67 +/- 4.32) and lower among licensed practical nursing (29.12 +/- 10.08) (P < .05). CONCLUSION: In this study, knowledge of the nurses on identification, prevention, and treatment of IAD was low. Comprehensive basic nursing education and in-service training programs on IAD are recommended.Publication Metadata only Adaptation of Bricolage Scale to Turkish: validity and reliability study(Koç University School of Nursing, 2021) Öztaş, Bediye; Kurt, Gönül; Gezginci, Elif; N/A; Bağçivan, Gülcan; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 261422Background: Bricolage is defined as making innovation by collecting current resources in a creative way. The use of innovative approaches such as bricolage in the healthcare will increase patient satisfaction and provide quality and cost-effective treatment and care. For that, it is important to determine the bricolage activities of healthcare providers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Bricolage Scale, which is used to measure nurses’ perceptions of bricolage activities. Methods: The sample of the study consists of 100 nurses working in an educational and research hospital and agreeing to participate in the research. The data of the study were collected using the “Nurse Information Form”, “Bricolage Scale” and “Nursing Individual Innovativeness Scale”. In order to evaluate the validity of the scale, the language, surface-structure and criterion validity of the scale were tested. To evaluate reliably of the scale internal consistency and test-retest reliability were tested. Results: The internal consistency factor calculated for the reliability of the scale is .905. The mean total score of the Bricolage Scale was 31.88 ± 3.99 and the retest total score was 32.16 ± 3.43. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between scale total score and retest total score (r = .905, P < .001). A significant and moderate correlation was found between Bricolage Scale and The Individual Innovativeness Scale, scores (r = .256; P = .010). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the Turkish version of Bricolage Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to measure the perceptions of nurses about bricolage activities in our country. / Amaç: Brikolaj; mevcut kaynakları yaratıcı bir şekilde bir araya getirerek yenilik yapmaktır.

Study Design: Based on scanning of the concepts and departments, the data of this descriptive study were retrospectively obtained from the National Thesis Database Center of the Higher Education Council. Its search concept used the words, “family and home care”, and its search department used the word, “nursing”. The data were analyzed using a questionnaire consisted of 10 items developed by the researchers. The items included the date when the thesis was completed, study design, study subject, location of the research, study sample, sample size, interventions, model use and department. Results: This study obtained the complete texts of 46 doctoral theses. The evaluation found that 65.2% of the theses in the field of family nursing were made between the years of 2004 and 2016. In 54.3% of the theses, the sample group consists of relatives of the patients and near the half of the studies were half-experimental and 52.2% of them were done in clinics. Models were used by only 10.9% of the theses. Conclusion: Doctoral theses related to family nursing and home care increased in the 2000 s. They focused on caregivers due to increasing chronic diseases. The few family-based studies on protecting and developing health, one of the basic functions of the nurses, show that much more attention should be devoted to this field. /Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de aile hemşireliği konusunda yapılmış doktora tezlerinin özelliklerini ve konularına göre dağılımını belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma Planı: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışmanın verileri geriye dönük olarak Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi veri tabanından kavram ve anabilim dalı düzeyinde tarama yapılarak elde edilmiştir. Kavram taramasında, “aile, evde bakım”; anabilim dalı taramasında ise, “hemşirelik” kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Tezler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen 10 maddelik soru formu değerlendirilmiştir. Bunlar tezin tamamlanma yılı ve hangi anabilim dalında yapıldığı, örneklem grubu, araştırma tipi, araştırmanın yapıldığı yer, araştırma konusu, model kullanılma durumudur. Verilerin analizinde sayı ve yüzdelikler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada tam metnine ulaşılan 46 doktora tezi incelenmiştir. Değerlendirme sonucunda aile hemşireliği alanında yapılan tezlerin %65,2’sinin 2004–2016 yılları arasında yapıldığı saptanmıştır. Tezlerin %54,3’ünün örneklem grubunu hasta yakınları oluşturmakta olup, çalışmaların yarısına yakını yarı deneyseldir ve %52,2’si klinikte yapılmıştır. Tezlerin sadece %10,9’unda model kullanılmıştır. Sonuç: Aile, aile hemşireliği ve evde bakıma yönelik yapılan doktora tezlerinin özellikle 2000’li yıllarda artış gösterdiği ve genellikle artan kronik hastalıklara bağlı olarak bakım vericilere yönelik yapıldığı görülmektedir. Hemşirelerin temel fonksiyonlarında birisi olan sağlığın korunması ve geliştirilmesinde aile temelli yapılan çalışmaların az olması bu alana daha fazla önem verilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.Publication Metadata only An examination of gender stereotypes, ambivalent sexism, and dating violence as potential predictors of nursing students’ beliefs about intimate partner violence: a cross-sectional correlational study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Öztürk, Fatma Ozlem; N/A; Kerman, Kader Tekkaş; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 34111Aim: This study aimed to examine the role of the feminine or masculine gender stereotypes, ambivalent sexism and dating violence to predict nursing students' beliefs about intimate partner violence.Background: Although there has been a growing interest in understanding the sociocultural contexts and the factors of the intimate partner violence, there is a serious lack of empirical research on different dimensions of this problem among nursing students.Design: A cross-sectional correlational design was used.Methods: The data were collected from a sample of 520 university students from three nursing schools in Istanbul, Turkey. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected with the sociodemographic form, the Beliefs About Wife Beating Scale, the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, the revised Conflict Tactics Scale, and the Bem Sex Role Inventory.Results: Results revealed that male participants were more prone to justify wife beating and believe that battered women benefitted from beating. Based on the results of the study, in addition to sex, region of birth, representing feminine or masculine gender stereotypes, hostile sexism, psychological aggression and having an injury due to experiencing violence in the latest relationship were the important predictors of nursing students' beliefs about intimate partner violence.Conclusions: Nursing curricula should include courses to enhance students' awareness towards violence against women, sexism and gender equality. More, universities should provide counseling services for nursing students who experienced violence.Publication Metadata only An exploratory study of positive life changes in Turkish women diagnosed with breast cancer(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2010) N/A; N/A; Güner, Perihan; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 101859Purpose: The present study explored the prevalence of positive changes in Turkish women with breast cancer and the possible relationships between these changes and patient variables such as socio-demographic and illness-related information. It also explored the nature of positive life changes reported by Turkish women with breast cancer. Methods and sample: The study was conducted at Hacettepe University Oncology Hospital in Ankara. Participants were 84 women with breast cancer and open-ended questionnaires eliciting patient narratives were primarily used to collect the data. Socio-demographic and illness characteristics, as well as any positive changes in the participants' life after the breast cancer diagnosis was also collected. For the participants who indicated positive changes a further open-ended question was asked: "Could you write down the positive changes that occurred in your life after being diagnosed with breast cancer?". Content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data gathered from the participants who mentioned a positive change in their life following the breast cancer diagnosis. Results: Positive life changes were reported by 50% (n = 42) of the women and these changes were found to increase only with an increase in the patients' educational level. Qualitative analysis of the data indicated four main themes of positive changes: self-perception, empowerment, greater appreciation of life, and changes in interpersonal relations. Conclusion: If nurses are aware of positive changes following the illness, they can help their patients to understand, adapt better and cope with their illness.Publication Metadata only Antecedents and outcomes of nurses' subjective career success: a path analysis(Wiley, 2021) Sönmez, Betül; Gül, Duygu; İspir Demir, Öznur; Erkmen, Tuna; Yıldırım, Aytolan; N/A; Emiralioğlu, Ramazan; Nurse; N/A; Koç University Hospital; N/APurpose This study aimed to test the hypothesis model showing the relationship between nurses' individual and working characteristics, nursing work environment, subjective career success, job satisfaction, intent to leave, and professional commitment. Design and Methods A cross-sectional and correlational design was utilized for the study. The study sample consisted of 604 nurses working in four hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, Subjective Career Success Inventory, Practice Work Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index, Job Satisfaction Global Item, Intent to Leave Subscale, and Professional Commitment Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlation analysis, and the hypothesis model was tested using structural equation modeling. Findings The hypothesis model that was established to test the antecedents and outcomes of subjective career success in nurses was acceptable and had a good fit. Having a master's degree, work schedule with rotating shifts (negative), good individual income, participation in hospital affairs, staffing and resource adequacy, and nurse-physician relations were significantly associated with the subjective career success of nurses. Subjective career success had a positive effect on job satisfaction and professional commitment and a negative significant effect on intent to leave in nurses. Conclusions This study revealed that human capital, objective career success, and some characteristics of the nursing work environment were significantly associated with nurses' subjective career success, and that increased subjective career success produced positive professional and organizational outcomes. Clinical Relevance The results of this study, which revealed the antecedents and outcomes of nurses' career success, should be taken into consideration by managers who wish to retain a qualified nursing workforce.Publication Metadata only Assessment of efficiency of the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in labor pain relief(Wiley, 2015) Sever, Neşe; N/A; Akyüz, Aygül; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 42416Publication Metadata only Assessment of nursing students' attitudes and awareness towards professional research and development(AVES, 2020) Dinçer, Selin; Eker, Özlem; Deniz, Yıldız; Yazıcı, Özlem; N/A; Karaçay, Pelin; Faculty Member; VPRD-SANERC; N/A; 179331Objective: To assess nursing students' attitudes and awareness towards research and development and determine the affecting factors. Material and Methods: This study had a descriptive and correlational design. In total, 182 nursing students studying in two foundation universities in Istanbul participated in the study. Data were collected using the sociodemographic characteristics form and the nursing students' attitudes and awareness towards research and development scale. Results: The mean age of the nursing students was 20.91±1.93 years, 80.2% were women, 30.2% were first-year students, and 64.3% were Anatolian high school graduates. A total of 60.4% of the students stated that they did not take any course on research, 79.7% stated that they did not have any research experience, 72.5% stated that they did not follow scientific publications, 46.2% stated that they did not read scientific journals, and 63.7% stated that they did not receive training on how to access evidence-based information. The mean score of the students on the scale was 128±16.0. A significant statistical difference found between the students' total score on the scale and their sex, research experience, frequency of following scientific publications and reading scientific journals, and thinking of the educated to access evidence-based information (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that nursing students were aware of research and development and had positive attitudes. Nursing students should be given training on how to access scientific knowledge in their undergraduate education, be asked to use evidence-based information in their assignments and be encouraged to participate in the nursing faculty research projects.
