    (Wiley, 2022) N/A; N/A; Karaçay, Pelin; Oflaz, Fahriye; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; School of Nursing; 179331; 185160
    Aim: This study aimed to explore faculty-to-faculty incivility in university nursing programmes and to identify the perceptions of faculty regarding the reasons and solutions for incivility. Background : Incivility is a fundamental problem in nursing educational settings. Methods : This cross-sectional and analytic study comprised 330 faculty members from different schools of nursing in Turkey. A personal information form and the 12-item Incivility Scale were used to collect data. The data were analysed by using descriptive analysis, Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation test, linear regression tests and thematic analysis. Results : Faculty and research assistants who were single and holding master's degrees perceived high incivility (p < .05). There was also a significant, mildly negative relationship between age and incivility scores (r = −0.236). A strict hierarchical structure was revealed to also be a reason for incivility (p < .05). Conclusion : Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of the solutions for faculty-to-faculty incivility. Implications for Nursing Management : This study can guide administrators regarding the causes and solutions of incivility within academic environments. By implementing strategies to increase awareness, administrators can become positive role models for faculty, providing a respectful and fair work environment to prevent incivility.

    (Elsevier, 2023) Boyacıoğlu, Nur Elçin; Karaahmet, Aysu Yıldız; Hodaei, Buse Kübra; Afşin, Yasin; Taşabat, Semra Erpolat; Oflaz, Fahriye; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 185160
    Objective: This study aimed at analyzing the relationship between general health status, quality of life, and sexual life among older adults. Study Design: This descriptive-correlational design study was conducted with the participation of 323 (169 female and 154 male) older people at the age of 65 + . The participants were clients of the outpatient services in a general hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected with the General Health Questionnaire, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, and Quality of Life Scale. Results: Psychological well-being had no association with sexuality scores whereas quality of life had a significant association. Older people with better quality of life had less sexual dysfunctionality. Participants who were up the 75 years old, who have lower education, lower economic status, unemployed, having chronic diseases seemed to experience higher ASEX scores, meaning that higher sexual dysfunction, lower GHQ scores and lower quality of life level. Conclusions: Sexuality in older people changes over time and continues to hold its importance. Less sexual dysfunction seemed to relate with higher quality of life in older people. Researchers should consider the importance of the quality of life on sexual satisfaction in older people.

    (Korean Soc Nursing Science, 2018) Ozcan, Celale Tangul; Oksuz, Emine; N/A; Oflaz, Fahriye; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 185160
    This study aimed to examine changes of empathy levels of nursing student in two different curricula structures, one called 'traditional" and the other called "integrated" curricula. The study was a longitudinal design to follow a cohort of nursing students to examine the magnitude of changes in empathy in their education years. Methods: The study was conducted in a public school of nursing giving a baccalaureate degree, which had a fundamental change in their curricula. In all, 81 students from the traditional curricula and 66 students from the integrated curricula completed the study, and data from a total of 147 students were analyzed between 2003 and 2008. The Empathic Communication Skills Scale and the Empathic Tendency Scale were given to the students in the beginning of their freshman year and at the end of the fourth year just before graduation. Results: Although both of the curricula were seemed effective at improving empathic skills of students, especially the scores of students who completed the integrated curricula were higher than the scores of the other group attending the traditional curricula (p<.05). However, the empathic tendency scores of students in both curricula decreased at the end of fourth year. Conclusion: Although undergraduate nursing curricula either traditional or integrated improved empathic skills, it seemed that integrated curricula were more effective than traditional curricula in increasing empathic skills. The more hours and more experiential methods contributed to improved empathy. The decrease in empathic tendency requires further attention of educators and nurse managers.
