Metabolik ve Non-Metabolik Bariatrik Cerrahi Adaylarının Benlik Saygısı, Yeme Tutumları, Duygusal İştah, Anksiyete ve Depresyon Düzeylerinin Karşılaştırılması
(Bilişsel Davranışçı Psikoterapiler Derneği, 2023) Türkoğlu Dikmen, Sema Nur; İlkay, Şengül; Şafak, Yasir
Literatürde metabolik hastalıkları nedeniyle cerrahiye başvuranlarla sadece kilo kaybı amacıyla non-metabolik nedenle cerrahiye başvuranlar bir bütün olarak incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bu iki grubun farkını ortaya koyarak cerrahi öncesi gerekebilecek ek psikiyatrik müdahaleleri saptamak ve cerrahi sonrası olası komplikasyonları önlemeye katkıda bulunmaktır. Genel cerrahi polikliniğinden cerrahi öncesi psikiyatrik değerlendirme için yönlendirilen hastalardan çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olanlar alınmıştır. Non-metabolik cerrahiye başvuran 96 kişi ve metabolik cerrahiye başvuran 22 kişiden oluşan gruplar arasında ölçek puanları verisi istatistiksel analize tabi tutulmuştur. Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeğinin benlik saygısı alt boyutu puanının non-metabolik cerrahi grubunda, metabolik cerrahi grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek olduğu (p=0,009) saptanmıştır. Non-metabolik cerrahi grubunda beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) ile durumluk-sürekli kaygı ölçekleri toplam puanları arasında orta düzeyde pozitif yönde korelasyon saptanmıştır [(r=0,312, p=0,002), (r=0,305, p=0,003)]. Metabolik cerrahi grubunda BKİ ile Duygusal İştah Anketi’nin Olumlu toplam puanı arasında yüksek düzeyde negatif yönde korelasyon saptanmıştır (r=-0,542, p=0,009). Yapılan regresyon analizinde Yeme Tutumu Testi toplam puanı Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği toplam puanı (β=0,262, p=0,034) tarafından yordanmıştır. Bu çalışmada bariatrik non-metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerle metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerin yeme tutumu, duygusal iştah, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerinin benzer olduğu, non-metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerin benlik saygısı metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerden daha düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Non-metabolik cerrahi grubunda süregen kaygı arttıkça BKİ’nin arttığı saptanmıştır. Sürekli kaygının yeme tutumunu yordaması da bu bulguyu desteklemektedir. Metabolik cerrahi grubunda ise BKİ arttıkça olumlu duygularda iştahta azalma gözlenmiştir. Çalışmamızın kısıtlılıkları nedeniyle ileride yapılacak daha geniş kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
The Effect of Social Skills Education on Social Skills and Interpersonal Relationship Levels in Student Nurses
(Ali Cangül, 2023) Yüksel, Arzu; Erzincanlı, Saadet
Social skills educations are effective in improving social skills in individuals and reducing social anxiety levels and yielding positive changes in interpersonal relations, psychological well-being, and happiness levels and in reducing verbal aggression. Aim: The study was conducted to determine the level of social skills of student nurses and to evaluate social skills education’s effect on the social skills and interpersonal relationships of nursing students. Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted with a non-randomized control group (CG) using a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design. The research was conducted with 78 undergraduate nursing 1st year students at a nursing school in Türkiye. Eight weeks of social skills training program were applied to the experimental group (EG). The number, percentage, arithmetic mean and standard deviation, Chi-square, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Mann–Whitney U test, Friedman Test, and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the students in the EG was 19.23 ± 2.09 and the mean age of the CG was 18.94 ± 1.02. It was determined that there was no difference between the groups in terms of their sociodemographic variables. While there was a significant increase in the social skills scores of the students who participated in the social skills training group because of the follow-up after the training and in the 4 th month, no change was found in the CG. In the EG, the interpersonal relations scale showed a significant decrease in the toxic relationship style dimension in the 4 th month follow-up but no change was detected in the CG. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that the social skills training pro- gram had a positive effect on the social skill levels of the students and that the training program influenced the toxic relationship style in the 4 th month follow-up test. In future studies, the social skills training program may be included peer learning or peer mentoring- based experiences.
Palliative Care Practices and Self-Efficacy of Students Taking Online Palliative Care Course: Quasi-Experimental Study
(Ali Cangül, 2023) Kasar Sayın, Kadriye
It is important for nursing students to have sufficient knowledge, skills, prac- tice ability, and self-efficacy to provide palliative care. Aim: This study was conducted to examine the palliative care practices and self-efficacy status of students taking online palliative care course. Methods: This study is a single-group, pre-test-post-test, and quasi-experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 46 nursing students who continued their education at a university in the spring semester of the 2020–2021 academic year and volunteered to par- ticipate in the study. Data were collected using the “Student Introduction Form,” "Palliative Care Self-Reported Practices Scale (PCPS)", and General Self-Efficacy Scale.” To conduct the research, ethical permission, application permission from the relevant institution where the study was carried out, usage permission from the scale owners, and consent from the students were obtained. The number and percentage distributions, means, standard devia- tion, Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, and paired sample t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: Of the students, 71.7% are 4th-year students and 58.7% are women. In addition, 78.3% of the participants stated that they chose the nursing profession voluntarily and 80.7% of them stated that they had heard the term “palliative care” before. While the total mean score of the General Self-Efficacy Scale of the students was 63.41 ± 11.85 before the education, it was determined as 68.60 ± 10.09 after the education. While the pre-test total score average of the PCPS was 69.43 ± 3.44, the post-test mean score was 81.19 ± 6.79. While there was no relationship (r = .223, P > 0.05) between the PCPS and the General Self-Efficacy Scale before the palliative care education, a strong positive correlation (r = .402, P < 0.05) was found after the palliative care education. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was found that the online palliative care course con- tributed to the development of students’ self-efficacy. It is recommended that the palliative care course be added to the nursing education curriculum as an elective or compulsory course.

(Ali Cangül, 2023) Bahadır Yılmaz, Emel; Yüksel, Arzu
Studies have shown health care workers experience physical and psychologi- cal problems during the COVID-19. Aim: This study aimed to define nurses’ biopsychosocial problems and coping methods dur- ing the pandemic. Methods: This study was planned as a descriptive and cross-sectional study between 1 September and October 30, 2020, in the 1st year of the pandemic. The sample of the study consisted of 438 nurses. An information form was used to collect the data, including the sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses, the problems they experienced during the pandemic, and their coping methods. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean age of the nurses was 29.20 ± 6.38. The most intense emotions experi- enced by nurses during the pandemic period were fear, anxiety (31.7%); concern, doubtful- ness (22.9%); and fatigue, distress, and burnout (18.4%). The most important reason for their anxiety was infecting their family, loved ones, relatives, and children (44.3%). The sleep of 30.3% of nurses was irregular. The ways of coping with problems were talking with loved ones (14.8%), taking precautions to avoid getting sick (14.4%), doing activities (13.7%), and positive thinking (10.3%). Of them, 55.7% stated that they had worked in an inadequate and insecure environment. Conclusion: During the pandemic, nurses experienced biopsychosocial problems and worked in an inadequate and unsafe environment. Nurses should be supported in biopsy- chosocial and working conditions, including reducing busy working hours, increasing the number of nurses, and increasing the number and accessibility of equipment should be improved.

(Türkiye Klinikleri Yayınevi, 2023) Bahadır Yılmaz, Emel; Yüksel, Arzu
Bu çalışma, kadına yönelik şiddet (KYŞ) eğitiminin, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin şiddete yönelik tutumlar ı, mesleki tutumlar ı ve şiddetin belirtilerini tanıma düzeylerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, tek gruplu ön-test ve son- test desenli müdahale ara ştırması olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın ör- neklemini, 2018-2019 akademik y ılında Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde bir devlet üniversitesinde okuyan ve “kadına karşı şiddet” dersi alan 4. sı- nıftan 53 hemşirelik öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında, “Kadına Yönelik Şiddete İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği”, “Hemşirelerin Şiddette Mesleki Rollerine İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği” ve “Hemşire ve Ebelerin Ka- dına Yönelik Şiddetin Belirtilerini Tanımalarına Yönelik Ölçek” kulla- nılmıştır. Verilerin de ğerlendirilmesinde tan ımlayıcı istatistikler ile Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi ve Wilcoxon i şaretli sıralar testi kullan ıl- mıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin şiddete ilişkin tutum puan ortalamalar ı eğitimden önce 32,05±7,84 ve eğitimden sonra 30,56±10,34 olup, puan ortalamalarında istatistiksel anlaml ılıkta bir farkl ılık olmam ıştır (p>0,05). Eğitim öncesinde 25,45±8,35 olan mesleki tutum puan orta- laması, eğitim sonrasında 22,64±6,30’a düşmüş ve aradaki fark istatis- tiksel aç ıdan anlaml ı bulunmuştur (p<0,05). E ğitim öncesinde 20,16±3,66 olan şiddet belirtilerini tanıma puan ortalaması, eğitim son- rasında 22,54±2,21’e yükselmiş ve aradaki farkın istatistiksel açıdan an- lamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,01). Sonuç: KYŞ eğitiminin, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin şiddette mesleki rollerine ilişkin tutumlarını ve KYŞ’nin belirtilerini tanıma düzeylerini olumlu etkilediği ancak KYŞ’ye ilişkin tutumlarını etkilemediği belirlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, hemşirelik müf- redatına KYŞ konusunda farkındalık oluşturmak ve şiddete ilişkin mes- leki rolleri pekiştirmek için “KYŞ” dersinin eklenmesi önerilmiştir.
The Relationship Between Women's Health Literacy and Breast Cancer Concern Levels
(Gümüşhane Üniversitesi, 2023) Demirhan, İlknur; Gökşin, İlknur; Başak Yavuzyaşar
The research was done descriptively and cross-sectionally to define the relationship between women's health literacy and their anxiety levels regarding breast cancer. 315 female patients participated in the study who are over the age of 20 and inpatient women of a training and research hospital. The interval of study was three months (May and July 2022). Researchers obtained the research data with face-to-face interview technique and they used the "Personal Information Form", "Breast Cancer Concern Scale (BCCS)", and "Health Literacy Scale (HLS)". The mean HLS and BCSS scores of women were 103.8±19 and 9.2±5.6 respectively. It has been found that women's employment status, menopause, education level and knowledge of breast self-examination (BSE) and having BSE have an impact on their level of health literacy. With correlation analysis, it was defined that there was a statistically insignificant and low level, negative relationship between the women’s total mean scores of HLS and the BCCS (r=-0.06, p>0.05). As a result, it was determined that women had above moderate level of health literacy and low level of anxiety about breast cancer, and there was no relationship between health literacy level and breast cancer anxiety. The results showed that women's education level, working outside the home, menopause status, and whether they know and regularly practice BSE affect their health literacy.

(Aile Hekimliği Akademisi Derneği, 2024) Gökşin, İlknur; Demirhan, İlknur
The study was conducted to examine the effect of genital hygiene education given to adolescent female students on the genital hygiene behaviors of adolescents. Method: This one-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental model study was conducted between May 9 - June 7, 2022, with 103 female students who could communicate verbally and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. Genital hygiene training was given to the students. Data were collected using a personal information form and genital hygiene behavior scale (GHBS). Results: The percentage of students who were in the age group of 15-16 years was 64.1%, 75.3% were in the 10th grade, 69.9% had mothers who had completed primary/secondary education, and 50.5% had menarche at the age of 12-13 years. General hygiene, menstrual hygiene, awareness of abnormal findings sub-dimensions and total GHBS scores were found to be statistically significantly higher in the post-test than in the pre-test (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that students had incorrect, inadequate practices regarding genital hygiene, and the education provided increased the correct hygiene behaviors. In line with these results training should be planned to raise awareness on reproductive health, general hygiene, genital and menstrual hygiene, especially in institutions such as schools, hostels and dormitories where adolescent girls are together collectively.

(University of Puerto Rico, 2025) Sayın Kasar, Kadriye; Duru Aşiret, Güler
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of foot self-massage on peripheral neuropathic pain, peripheral skin temperature and patient comfort in individuals with diabetes. Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 52 individuals with type 2 diabetes (26 self foot massage group and 26 control group) between August 2021 and July 2022. Individuals in the foot self-massage group performed a foot massage for 30 minutes (15 minutes for each foot) three times a week for four weeks after training. Data were collected using an Individual Description Form, a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the DN4 Pain Questionnaire and the General Comfort Scale-Short Form and peripheral skin temperature was measured. The data were evaluated using the Independent Sample-t test, Paired Sample-t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon test. Continuity correction and Pearson-χ2 (chi-square) tests were used to compare categorical variables. Results: In this study, it was found that foot self-massage did not affect the peripheral neuropathic pain level of the patients, but the mean pain (VAS) scores of the patients in the foot massage group significantly decreased compared to the patients in the control groups. In addition, it was found that foot self-massage did not affect patients’ peripheral skin temperature and patient comfort. Conclusion: It is recommended that foot massage, which can be applied by itself without time and place restrictions, be learned by patients and supported by health professionals because it is easy to apply, practical and economical.

(Slack Incorporated, 2025) Yılmaz, Emel Bahadır; Türkoğlu Dikmen, Sema Nur; Yüksel, Arzu
To determine the correlation between medication adherence and functioning in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and the predictors of functionality. METHOD: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with 145 individuals with BD type I. Data were collected using a Patient Information Form, the Medication Adherence Rating Scale, and Functioning Assessment Short Test. RESULTS: Findings showed that most participants did not take medication as pre-scribed. Medication adherence was negatively correlated with functionality. Predictors of functionality were years of treatment, number of hospitalizations, working status, medication adherence, family history of mental illness, and history of suicide. CONCLUSION: Medication nonadherence is a fundamental problem for individuals with BD. Nursing interventions to increase functionality and medication adherence among this at-risk group should be planned and implemented.
Academicians' Metaphorical Perceptions of Older Adult Sexuality: An Example of Metaphor Analysis
(Springer, 2025) Yüksel, Arzu; Kütmeç Yılmaz, Cemile
Sexuality is one of the most natural aspects of life that continues throughout life and is within the scope of basic human needs. Sexual life can be affected by many factors such as individual characteristics, diseases, society's values, attitudes, and cultural and religious characteristics. The objective of this research is to identify the metaphorical perceptions of older adults' sexuality held by academics, employing a phenomenological methodology. This study was conducted with the participation of 164 academicians. The research data were collected between March–April 2022. The evaluation of the metaphors created about the concept of older adults' sexuality employed content analysis techniques. The metaphors pertaining to the perceptions of academics regarding the sexuality of older adults were classified into four categories and 11 sub-themes: "Perceptions that sexuality as natural," "Diminishing sexuality," "Sexuality as love, affection and friendship," and "Sexuality as hidden and stigmatized." The majority of the metaphors created by the academic researchers were found to contain negative themes related to the sexuality of older adults. It can be suggested to organize seminars to increase the awareness of academicians on sexuality, older adults' sexuality, and sexual health.

(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) Yüksel, Arzu; Bahadır Yılmaz, Emel
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the predictors of peer bullying and peer victimization among high school students. Method: The cross-sectional study sample comprised 601 students attending an Anatolian High School in the Central Anatolia Region of Türkiye. Data collection involved a student information form and Peer Bullying Scale Adolescent Form. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation test and Multiple Linear Regression analysis. Results: The predictors of peer victimization were found to be believing that the school administration has an appropriate attitude to peer bullying at school, age, father's education level and family economic status, respectively. The predictors of peer bullying were, respectively, the status of receiving disciplinary punishment, father's education level, mother's employment status, believing that the school administration has an appropriate attitude to peer bullying at school, and the school administration's attitude towards peer bullying at school. Conclusion: High school students should be trained on how to recognize peer bullying and how to protect themselves from bullying behavior and that the school environment should be structured accordingly. Clinical trial registration: None.

Metaphorical perceptions of nursing students toward sexuality during pregnancy: An example of metaphor analysis
(Churchill Livingstone, 2025) Gökşin, İlknur; Yüksel, Arzu
Background: Pregnancy is one of the periods of life in which women's sexuality is negatively affected by the cultural structure of society and false beliefs. Determining the perspectives of nurse candidates on sexuality during pregnancy will contribute to the training of nurses who will be able to evaluate sexuality and provide holistic health care in the future. Objectives: This study aims to describe the metaphorical perceptions of nursing students toward sexuality during pregnancy through metaphors. Design: A metaphor analysis technique based on phenomenological method. Methods: This study was conducted with 317 nursing students in Turkey. The study data were collected with questionnaire form prepared by the researchers between January and February 2024. In the first part of the questionnaire, questions about socio-demographic characteristics were included, and in the second part, the sentence “Sexuality during pregnancy is like., because.” was included to determine the metaphors developed by the students about sexuality during pregnancy. The 317 valid metaphors revealing the students' perceptions of the concept of sexuality during pregnancy were grouped under 3 categories; “Creating danger and causing harm”, “Need/necessity or usual”, and “Unnecessary, wrong or should not be”. Conclusions: In the study, students provided metaphors containing both positive and negative concepts related to sexuality during pregnancy. However, the majority of the metaphors produced contain negative concepts. It is recommended that a sexuality/sexual health course covering sexuality and nursing care in different life periods such as pregnancy be added to the nursing education curriculum in order to determine the perspectives of nursing candidates on pregnancy sexuality, to make them aware of their attitudes and beliefs, and to ensure that they are prepared for the situations they may encounter in health care after graduation.

Materials and methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 581 nursing students between January and May 2024. Data were collected using the Student Information Form, the Medical Device Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Assessment Test (MDRPI-KAT), and the Medical Device Related Pressure Injury Attitude Questionnaire (MDRPI-AQ). Results: The nursing students had a mean score of 8.76 ± 2.68 on the MDRPI-KAT, indicating an overall correct answer percentage of 54.7 %. The mean total score on the MDRPI-AQ was 44.08 ± 8.12. Furthermore, 75.0 % of the nursing students (n = 436) achieved a positive attitude score (>40 points). According to the results of the structural equation model, the scores on the MDRPI-KAT among nursing students had a statistically significant effect on their scores on the MDRPI-AQ (? = 0.585, p = 0.002). Conclusion: This study found that the nursing students exhibited insufficient knowledge about MDRPIs.Despite this, the nursing students demonstrated a positive attitude toward MDRPIs.
