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.

(Tissue Viability Society, 2024) Erzincanlı, Saadet; Gürlek Kısacık, Öznur; Sönmez, Münevver
The aim of this study was to determine nursing students' levels of knowledge and attitudes regarding medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs), as well as the factors influencing these. 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.

(Ali Cangül, 2024) Ünal Aslan, Kevser Sevgi; Çetinkaya, Funda
Concerns that the diseases of individuals with non-coronavirus disease 2019 (non-COVID-19) conditions will progress, their symptoms will worsen, their treatments will be prolonged, and morbidity and mortality will increase due to fears of disease transmission or contagion during the pandemic have affected all individuals. It is important to recognize the death anxiety of oncology patients, especially those who may have high levels of death anxiety, and to support their spiritual care. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on death anxiety and the level of spirituality and spiritual care in oncology patients, as well as to identify the relationship between these variables. Methods: In this study, 204 patients diagnosed with cancer were recruited through an online application. Data were collected using an individual identification form, Death Anxiety Scale, and the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS). A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The “Mann-Whitney U” test (Z-table value) was used for comparing measurement values of two independent groups in data not having a normal distribution; the “Kruskal-Wallis H” test (?2-table value) was used to compare three or more independent groups. The “Spearman correlation test” was performed to determine the relationship between scale scores. Results: The mean age of the patients in this study was 60.72 ± 14.36 years. The mean death anxiety score was found to be 11.19 ± 1.79, and the mean SSCRS score was 30.50 ± 4.65. Statistically significant differences were found in death anxiety and SSCRS scores according to the age groups of the patients and the presence of other chronic diseases (P > 0.05). In addition, a statistically significant difference was found in terms of death anxiety scale scores according to the diagnosis of COVID-19 (P < 0.05). There was a negative, very weak and statistically significant relationship between the patients’ spirituality and spiritual care and death anxiety scale scores (r=-0.157; P = 0.025). Conclusion: It has been determined that oncology patients have high death anxiety and a moderate perception of spirituality and spiritual care during the COVID-19 pandemic process.

Evaluating the risk of delirium in elderly inpatients in Covid-19 intensive care: a prospective and observational study
(Turkish Geriatrics Society, 2024) Bulut, Azime; Bahadır Yılmaz, Emel; Yüksel, Arzu
Delirium is dangerous, often preventable, and associated with a high financial burden and increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of delirium in elderly inpatients in COVID-19 intensive care units. Materials and Method: This study used a prospective and observational design. Between July and November 2022, 49 intensive care patients were admitted to a training and research hospital in northeast Turkey. The data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool, Ramsay Sedation Scale, and Nursing-Delirium Screening Scale. Results: The patients’ mean age was 76.90±8.29 years. The longer the length of stay in the intensive care unit, the incidence of delirium increased. The incidence of delirium increased in patients aged 70–95 years (p=0.007). Patients with delirium experienced insomnia and agitation and used more sedative drugs (p<0.05). The predictors of early delirium were sedation (?=0.869), agitation (?=-0.582), and diastolic blood pressure (?=0.258). The predictors of delirium were pain (?=-0.599) and sedation (?=0.267). Conclusion: The study demonstrated that older age, agitation, sedation, pain, and diastolic blood pressure predicted delirium in elderly COVID-19 inpatients. It is necessary to identify and eliminate risk factors to reduce the risk of delirium in elderly patients. Nurses should play an active role in identifying and managing delirium in elderly COVID-19 patients.

(Elsevier, 2024) Kütmeç Yılmaz, Cemile; Karakoyun, Ahmet; Yurtsever, Sabire
Background: Pain felt in an amputated limb is quite common. Phantom pain affects the lives of individuals in many ways and can negatively affect the holistic well-being of individuals. Distant Reiki can be used in the management of these problems. Aim: This study was conducted to examine the effect of distant Reiki applied to individuals with extremity amputation on pain level and holistic well-being. Method: This a quasi-experimental single group pre-test. Post-test design research was conducted between September 2022 and April 2023 and included 25 individuals with extremity amputation. Then, according to Classical Usui Reiki, distant Reiki application has been performed for 20 minutes every day for 10 days. Data were collected at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 10th day. The data were obtained using an Introductory Information Form, the Visual Analog Scale for Pain, and Holistic Well-Being Scale. Results: The mean age of the participants was 51.32 ± 16.65 years. There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test pain levels of the participants (p < .05) and HWBS subscale scores (p < .05). Accordingly, it was determined that after 20-minute distant Reiki sessions for 10 consecutive days, the pain levels of the individuals were significantly reduced and their holistic well-being improved. Conclusion: Distant Reiki has been found to be easy to administer, inexpensive, non-pharmacological, and appropriate for independent nursing practice to be effective in reducing phantom pain levels and increasing holistic well-being in people with limb amputation.

Nursing students’ metaphorical perceptions of sexuality in older people: An example of metaphor analysis
(Elsevier, 2024) Kütmeç Yılmaz, Cemile; Yüksel, Arzu
This study aims to describe the metaphorical perceptions of nursing students towards sexuality in older people through metaphor. Background: Age-related changes and health problems can adversely affect sexual functions. Sexuality is a basic physiological need that continues throughout life and it is important to eliminate the problems related to sexual life that occur in old age. Determining the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students, who will be health professionals of the future, towards sexuality in older people can make a significant contribution to providing holistic health care to older individuals. Therefore, it is important to determine the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students about the sexuality of older people to improve their professional competence. Design: This study was conducted with metaphor analysis technique based on phenomenological method. Method: This study was conducted in a total of 222 nursing students. The study data were collected between January and February 2022 with a questionnaire form prepared by the researchers. In the first part of the questionnaire, questions about socio-demographic characteristics were included, and in the second part, the sentence "sexuality in older people is like., because." was included to determine the metaphors developed by the students about sexuality in older people. These handwritten writings of the students were used as the main data source in this study. Content analysis was used to evaluate the metaphors. Results: In this study, students produced a total of 222 valid metaphors related to the concept of sexuality in older people. The metaphors revealing the students' perceptions of the concept of sexuality in older people were grouped under 5 categories; "Category related to slowing down and regression", "Category related to need or normal", "Category related to not possible", "Category related to the feeling of love, compassion and friendship" and "Unnecessary, unimportant or should not be category". In the study, it was determined that the category in which the most metaphors were generated was "related to slowing down and regression". Conclusion: In the study, nursing students provided metaphors containing both positive and negative concepts related to sexuality in older people. However, most the metaphors generated contain negative concepts. To support nursing students' positive attitudes towards sexuality in older people, to change their negative attitudes, and to increase their knowledge and awareness, it is proposed to incorporate courses on sexuality in older people into the nursing curriculum and to include sexuality in older people in courses on sexuality.
