    (Wiley, 2022) Bingöl, Hülya; Aydın, Ayfer; Kebudi, Rejin; Koç, Başak; Yıldırım, Ülkü Miray; Zülfikar, Bülent; Umaç, Eyşan Hanzade; PhD Student; Graduate School of Health Sciences; N/A
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe factors affecting the place of death of children with cancer at the end of life. Methods: The descriptive phenomenological approach was used. Eighteen mothers who lost their children to cancer participated in in-depth interviews. Data were analysed using MAXQDA software version. Codes and categories were developed inductively from participants' narratives. Results: The factors affecting the place of death of children were categorised into two main themes: (1) desires and (2) conditions. Most of the mothers reported that their deceased children wanted to be with their families at the end of life and they wanted to go home. The conditions related to health services were defined as the barriers to the death of their children in the places of death preferred by the mothers. Conclusion: The desire to be close to the child was the main factor affecting the parents' decisions. The findings revealed the prevailing circumstances in the death place decision beyond parental desires. These were the child's health conditions, physical conditions of hospitals, and the lack of home care and paediatric palliative care services, which were factors related to the system, and the lack of other options for parents.

    Effect of biofeedback-based interventions on the psychological outcomes of pediatric populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (Springer, 2023) Umaç, Eyşan Hanzade; Semerci, Remziye; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Graduate School of Health Sciences; School of Nursing; N/A; 216754
    We performed a systematic and meta-analytic review of biofeedback-based interventions on psychological outcomes among pediatric populations. The literature search for this study was conducted in eight databases, including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase (OVID), Web of Science, PsycINFO (all via Ovid SP), and Google Scholar. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Checklists for experimental and quasi-experimental studies that was developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. We analyzed the effects of biofeedback-based interventions on psychological outcomes in the pediatric population by following the Preferred Reporting System for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. This systematic review and meta-analysis included nine studies with a total sample size of 658 children. In this study, EEG, EMG, and heart rate variability biofeedback were utilized to treat psychological symptoms in children. All studies focused on anxiety, with only one studying depression. As a result, it was found that all types of biofeedback effectively reduced children’s anxiety levels. It was recommended that biofeedback-based interventions should be used to reduce children’s anxiety.

    (İstanbul Üniversitesi Yayınevi, 2021) Umaç, Eyşan Hanzade; Aydın, Ayfer; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Graduate School of Health Sciences; School of Nursing; N/A; 174932
    Objective: During the COVID-19 outbreak, some nationwide measures were taken to slow down and stop the spread of the virus. This study was conducted to determine how health behaviors of adolescents were affected by the outbreak process and what kind of needs the outbreak process caused in mothers. Material and Method: The data were collected using the Qualtrics online data collection tool between 8-31 May 2020. The “Mother-Child Information Form,” including questions on the characteristics of mothers and adolescents, and the “Questionnaire for Determining Adolescents’ Behaviors for Protecting and Sustaining the Health and the Needs of Mothers” were used to collect the research data. Results: The average age of the mothers participating in the study is between 42.6±6.7. 65.8% of adolescents’ ages are between 14 and 18. The mothers indicated that while 36.6% of adolescents increased their consumption of junk food, 35.6% of them increased their food consumption, 70.2% of them were less physically active, and 76.4% of them slept late during the COVID-19 outbreak. 69.6% of the mothers have information needs regarding how to protect and maintain their child’s health during the outbreak. Conclusions: As a result of the study, based on the statements of mothers, it was determined that adolescents’ health behaviors were negatively affected by the outbreak and that the outbreak caused mothers to have a need for information on protecting and sustaining the health of their adolescent children. / Amaç: COVID-19 salgını sürecinde ülkelerde salgına yönelik alınan önlemlerin ergenlerin sağlık davranışlarını nasıl etkilediği ve annelerinin gereksinimleri hakkında çok az şey bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma ergenlerin sağlık davranışlarının salgın sürecinden nasıl etkilendiğini ve salgın sürecinin annelerde ne tür gereksinimlere neden olduğunu belirlemeye yönelik gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Veriler 8-31 Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında Qualtrics online veri toplama aracı kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında anne ve ergenlerin özelliklerine yönelik soruların yer aldığı ‘‘Anne-Çocuk Bilgi Formu’’ ve ‘’Ergenlerin Sağlığı Koruma ve Sürdürmeye Yönelik Davranışlarının ve Annelerin Gereksinimlerinin Belirlenmesi Anketi’’ kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 161 annenin yaş ortalaması 42,6±6,7 aralığında olup ergenlerin %65,8’i 14-18 yaş grubunda yer almaktadır. Anneler COVID-19 salgını sürecinde ergenlerin %36,6’sının abur cubur ve %35,6’sının besin tüketiminin arttığını, %70,2’sinin fiziksel olarak daha az aktif olduğunu ve %76,4’ünün geç saatlerde yattığını ifade etmiştir. Ayrıca annelerin %69,6’sının salgın sürecinde çocuğunun sağlığını koruma ve sürdürmeye yönelik bilgi gereksinimi bulunmaktadır. Sonuç: Annelerin ifadelerine göre ergenlerin sağlık davranışları salgın sürecinden olumsuz etkilenmiştir ve COVID-19 salgını annelerde çocuklarının sağlığını koruma ve sürdürmeye yönelik bilgi gereksinimine neden olmuştur.
