Evaluation of the caregiving roles and attitudes of nurses is critical in the current crisis. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the caregiving roles and attitudes of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study was performed with 130 nurses in Turkey. The attitude scale for the caregiving roles of nurses (ASCRNs) was used to collect data. We conducted an online survey between May and November 2020. Results: The mean total score of the participants on the ASCRN was 62.20 +/- 18.42. All nurses stated that they were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ASCRN scores of nurses who received training about the COVID-19 pandemic and who thought that the personal protective equipment they used was sufficient had statistically higher scores on the ASCRN (p < .05). Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the caregiving roles and attitudes of the nurses.Publication Metadata only Family presence during CPR: a study of the experiences and opinions of Turkish critical care nurses(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2007) N/A; Badır, Aysel; Sepit, Diler; Faculty Member; Researcher; Semahat Arsel Nursing Education, Practice and Research Center / Semahat Arsel Hemşirelik Eğitim, Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (SANERC); School of Nursing; N/A; N/A; N/ABackground: The concern over family witnessed cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been a frequent topic of debate in many countries. Objectives: The aim of this descriptive study is determine the experiences and opinions of Turkish critical care nurses about family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and to bring this topic into the critical care and the public limelight in Turkey. Methods: Study population consisted of critical care nursing staff at four hospitals affiliated with the Ministry of Health, three hospitals affiliated with universities and three hospitals affiliated with Social Security Agency Hospitals. A total of 409 eligible critical care nurses were surveyed using a questionnaire which is consisted of 43 items under 3 areas of inquiry. Results: None of the hospitals that participated in this study had a protocol or policy regarding family witnessed resuscitation. More than half of the sample population had no experience of family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and none of the respondents had ever invited family members to the resuscitation room. A majority of the nurses did not agree that it was necessary for family members to be with their patient and did not want family members in resuscitation room. In addition, most of the nurses were concerned about the violation of patient confidentiality, had concerns that untrained family members would not understand CPR treatments, would consider them offensive and thereby argue with the resuscitation team. The nurses expressed their concern that witnessing resuscitation would cause long lasting adverse emotional effects on the family members. Conclusion: This study reveals that critical care nurses in Turkey are not familiar with the concept of family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In view of the increasing evidence from international studies about the value of family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation we recommend educational program about this issue and policy changes are required within the hospitals to enhance critical care in Turkey.

Çalışma, Bolu il belediye sınırları içindeki Merkez Sağlık Ocakları’nda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sağlık Ocakları’na 6 ay içinde başvuran, 1. trimestrı dolduran ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden toplam 184 gebe çalışmaya alınmıştır. İzlem sonucunda gebelerde birden fazla risk faktörü bulunduğu ve risklerin gebelik haftası ilerledikçe artığı gözlenmiştir. Kadınların %6.8’i doğum eyleminde sorun yaşarken, doğum sonrası sadece bir annede sorun görülmemiştir. Gebelikteki bireysel ve ailesel riskler, özelikle obstetrik, tıbi öykü ve şimdiki gebeliğe bağlı çeşitli risk faktörleri düşük tehdidi, erken doğum tehdidi, prematür eylem, preklemsi, doğum korkusu, sezaryen doğum, bebek ölümü, konjenital anomali bebek doğumu, doğum sonrası enfeksiyon ve doğum sonrası ruhsal sıkıntı yaşama riskini artırmıştır. Gebeliği riske sokan faktörler peripartum dönemde ane ve bebeğin sağlığını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle hemşirelerin gebelikteki risk faktörlerini erkenden saptamaları, özelikle risk altındaki gebeleri düzenli ve sık olarak izlemeleri ve riskler ve olası etkilerine yönelik koruyucu bakım, eğitm ve danışmanlık hizmetlerini vermeleri önemlidir. / The study has ben carried out prospectively to determine risk factors in pregnancy and their impacts on both mother’s and newborn’s health in central health-care centers in Bolu. A total of 184 pregnant women who had visited health-care centers within 6 months, had completed first trimester and accepted to attend at research were included. As a result of follow-up, it was observed that attendants had multiple risk factors and risks increased with gestational age. Of women 6.8% experienced problems in delivery, only one mother had no problem postpartum. Various individual and family risk factors were present during pregnancy. Particularly obstetrics, medical history and a variety of present pregnancy related risk factors increased risks of miscarriage, risks of preterm labor, preterm labor, preclampsia, fear of childbirth, cesarean birth, infant mortality, births of babies with congenital anomalies, neonatal infections and postpartum psychological distress. Factors risking pregnancy influence mother’s and newborn’s health in peripartum period adversely. Therefore it is important hat nurses determine risk factors early during pregnancy, follow up especially the pregnant women at risk regularly and frequently and give effective preventive care, education and counseling related to the risks and their possible consequences.Publication Open Access Geolocator tracking of Great Reed-Warblers (acrocephalus arundinaceus) identifies key regions for migratory wetland specialists in the Middle East and sub-Saharan East Africa(American Ornithological Society (AOP), 2016) Horns J.J.; Buechley, E.; Chynoweth, M.; Çoban, E.; Kirpik, M. A.; Herman, J. M.; Şaşmaz, Y.; Şekercioǧlu, Ç. H.; School of Nursing; Koç University HospitalWetland-dependent migratory songbirds represent one of the most vulnerable groups of birds on the planet, with >67% of wetland-obligate species threatened with extinction. One of the major hurdles for conservation efforts is determining the migration routes, stopover sites, and wintering sites of these species. We describe an annual migration cycle revealed by geolocator tracking of Great Reed-Warblers (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) breeding in the Aras River wetlands of eastern Turkey. Because of its relatively large size and breeding ground fidelity, the Great Reed-Warbler is an excellent candidate for geolocator studies and can serve as an indicator species for other wetland songbirds, many of which are particularly threatened in the Middle East. All birds made use of at least 2 wintering grounds in South Sudan, on the Indian Ocean coast and on the western shores of Lake Malawi, as well as several important stopover sites. We also identified a counterclockwise migration path into and out of Africa. Throughout the year, these birds encountered 277 Important Bird Areas, >40% of which had little or no protection. Many species of wetland songbird, particularly threatened species, may be too rare or too small to be the focus of similar studies. Our results not only allow for comparisons with other Great Reed-Warbler populations, but also reveal previously unknown stopover and wintering locations to target conservation efforts that will help wetland-dependent bird species in the Middle East and East Africa.Publication Metadata only Globalization, internationalization and nursing(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004) N/A; Herdman, Elizabeth Anne; Other; School of Nursing; N/AN/A
