This descriptive study was done with 126 nursing students who were having an experience in an operating room for the first time. Data were collected by using Personal Information Form, Clinical Stress Questionnaire, and Styles of Coping Inventory. The nursing students mostly had low clinical stress levels (M = 27.56, SD = 10.76) and adopted a self-confident approach in coping with stress (M = 14.3, SD = 3.58). The nursing students generally employed a helpless/self-accusatory approach among passive patterns as their clinical stress levels increased, used a self-confident and optimistic approach among active patterns as their average age increased, and those who had never been to an operating room previously used a submissive approach among passive patterns. The results showed that low levels of stress caused the nursing students to use active patterns in coping with stress, whereas increasing levels of stress resulted in employing passive patterns in stress coping. The nursing students should be ensured to maintain low levels of stress and use active patterns in stress coping. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Material and Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial design was conducted. Nine mothers in the study group were given printed informative brochures after a 15-minute oral informative session, whereas nine mothers in the control group were given only oral information. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed at 15th and 90th days. Results: Mothers in both groups achieved significantly higher information and application level scores at 15th and 90th days when compared to their initial evaluation (p<0.05). In the study group, 90 days after the informative session, the mothers achieved statistically higher information level scores than the mothers in the control group (U=8.000, p=0.019). Conclusion: Giving printed informative brochures is more effective than giving only oral information on mothers' knowledge about preventing VP shunt infections. Printed informative brochures about preventing VP shunt infections could improve mothers' level of knowledge in the long term and avoid shunt infections.Öğe The Effect of Nurse Telephone Consultation After Coronary Artery Bypass on the Autonomy Level of Elderly Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study(Galenos Yayincilik, 2021) Digin, Figen; Findik, Ummu YildizObjective: The effect of nurse telephone consultations was determined on the autonomy levels of elderly patients after coronary artery bypass surgery in this quasi-experimental study. Methods: This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research investigation from December 25, 2015, to January 10, 2017, at the cardiovascular surgery clinic of a university hospital and included 64 patients (32 cases, 32 control group patients). The data were collected using the patient descriptive form, The Functional Autonomy Measurement System, Discharge Information Guide, and The Telephone Consultation Follow-Up Form. The patients in the case group were provided with nurse telephone consultations six weeks after discharge. The Functional Autonomy Measurement System was re-administered to all patients at the end of six weeks. The necessary ethical and institutional approvals were obtained before the study. Results: The mean age of the patients was 69.96 (+/- 4.94) years, 76.56% (n=49) were males, 85.9% (n=55) were married, and 73.43% (n=47) were primary school graduates. The mean autonomy score (-4.04 +/- 2.52) and the autonomy level of daily life activities of the patients (-2.20 +/- 1.71) in the case group (p=0.000) were significantly higher at the end of six weeks (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nurse telephone consultations increased the autonomy level of elderly patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.Öğe Effect of Preoperative Video Information on Anxiety and Satisfaction in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019) Yesilyurt, Duygu Soydas; Findik, Ummu YildizVideo images are used as materials to provide information. This quasi-experimental research was intended to determine the effect of preoperative video information on the anxiety and satisfaction levels of patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The research was conducted from January 2015 to April 2016; 70 patients participated (35 in the experimental and 35 in the control group) who underwent planned open abdominal surgery. Data were collected by having the patients complete a patient identification form and the Anxiety Specific to Surgery Questionnaire, as well as by means of the Satisfaction With Nursing Care Scale via face-to-face interviews. After the patients in the experimental group viewed the video information, the Anxiety Specific to Surgery Questionnaire mean scores of the experimental group were lower than before the information (P < .001) and scores for the control group (P < .001). Satisfaction With Nursing Care Scale mean scores were also higher than those of the control group (P < .001). In order to decrease the anxiety levels of surgical patients and increase their satisfaction levels, we suggest that they should be informed via video images.Öğe Effect of Relaxation Exercises on Controlling Postoperative Pain(Elsevier Science Inc, 2012) Topcu, Sacide Yildizeli; Findik, Ummu YildizThis study examines the effect of relaxation exercises on controlling postoperative pain in patients who have undergone upper abdominal surgery. This is a cross-sectional and crossover study conducted on 60 patients who underwent upper abdominal surgery between October 2006 and June 2007, in the General Surgery Department, Health and Research Practice Center, Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey. We assessed the patients' pain levels before and after the relaxation exercises. Patients' personal information forms were used to collect data, and pain levels were determined using the verbal pain scale. We used the Wilcoxon T test, nonparametric Spearman correlation analysis, and nominal by interval eta analysis to assess the data, percentage, and frequency analyses. Pain levels were found to be reduced after the relaxation exercises compared with the levels before the relaxation exercises (z = 5.497; p < .001). Relaxation exercises, a nonpharmacologic method, are effective in reducing postoperative pain and should therefore be included in a regimen to control postoperative pain in patients who have undergone upper abdominal surgery.

Results: Of the 133 students, 69(52%) were in the experimental group and 64(48%) in the control group. It was determined that the skill level of the experimental group was higher than the control group (p<0.05) and there was a positive correlation between knowledge and skill levels of student nurses in both groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Education with a stoma model increased student nurses' skills and promotes their knowledge.Öğe Effect of the pandemic on stress perception of nursing students during clinical internships: A cross-sectional study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Topcu, Sacide Yildizeli; Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Organ, Esra Makal; Unver, Seher; Soydas, Duygu; Findik, Ummu YildizBackground and Aim: In nursing education, which has been significantly affected by the pandemic, continuing clinical internships, depending on the awareness that students have developed against coronavirus, has been an important source of stress. This study aims to determine the perceived stress of nursing students who resumed internships in surgical clinics after the pandemic and the role of their coronavirus awareness in it. Methods and Materials: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with the participation of 161 nursing students who received education in the nursing department of a university between May and June 2021 and performed the clinical practice of the Surgical Diseases Course. The Student Information Form, Coronavirus Awareness Scale (CAS), and Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students (PSSNS) were used to collect the data. Results: It was found that the mean score of the PSSNS was 77.8 +/- 23.6. and of the CAS was 64.7 +/- 9.8. It was found that the PSNS total and subscales' scores have negative correlations with the Awareness of Following Current Developments subscale of the CAS. Conclusion: It was determined that the stress level of the nursing students who resumed internships in surgical clinics after the pandemic was above average. Stress levels of the students were related to their awareness of following current developments regarding coronavirus. Although the pandemic has ended, the stress that nursing students may perceive when resuming face-to-face education in similar situations that may arise in the coming years and some factors that may be related should be determined.

This non-randomized quasi-experimental study was carried out with 60 isolated and 57 non-isolated patients with hospital infection. The data were acquired from Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A (anxiety) and HADS-D (depression)) and patient information form. There was no statistically significant difference between the anxiety and depression levels of the isolated and non-isolated patients. In the isolated patients, the depression points were higher in patients who were, women, received primary education and had lower income levels. Of the patients, 86.4% of them told that they were happy to be in the isolation room. Contact isolation application did not affect anxiety and depression levels of the patients. However, personal attributes increased the development of depression. In contact isolated patients, personal attributes should be taken into consideration in nursing care planning to prevent development of depression.Öğe Evaluation of Handwashing Behaviors and Analysis of Hand Flora of Intensive Care Unit Nurses(Elsevier Science Inc, 2011) Findik, Ummu Yildiz; Otkun, Muserref Tataman; Erkan, Tulay; Sut, NecdetPurpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the handwashing behaviors of intensive care nurses based on personal statements, and to identify the microorganisms represented in the hand flora preshift and postshift. Methods This prospective study was performed with 60 intensive care nurses between January and December 2008, at a training and research hospital at a university in Turkey. Samples were taken from the hands of the nurses for bacteriological culture, using the bag-broth method, at the beginning and end of the shift. The samples were cultured aerobically and the colonies that grew were counted and identified. The nurses completed a self-report questionnaire, and their answers were evaluated. Results The frequency of handwashing by participants during each shift was 32.8 +/- 13.9. Overall, 65% of the nurses preferred alcohol-based antiseptic solutions for handwashing, 95% used paper towels to dry their hands, and 98.3-100% of the nurses washed their hands after performing care procedures. The Escherichia coli and coagulase negative Staphylococcus species were found to be at significantly higher levels in the postshift hand culture samples when compared to the preshift hand culture sample values. Enterobacter cloacae was the only species found in the postshift hand culture samples of the nurses. Conclusions The number of colonies of the microorganisms in the hand flora of the nurses increased postshift. The handwashing behavior of intensive care nurses must be improved as they nurse critical patients.

Results: In the study, it was seen that the mean score of the NATOOPS was 105.68 +/- 21.80, the lowest score being 41 and the highest being 150. It was found that the nurses who had the most positive point of view of obesity were between the ages of 50 and 59, male, had 1-5 years of working experience, worked the night shift, worked 50-59 h per week, and provided care to none or 1-2 obese patients per day. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that nurses had positive perspective toward obesity and obese patients.Öğe Hand-washing behaviour and nurses' knowledge after a training programme(Wiley, 2011) Erkan, Tulay; Findik, Ummu Yildiz; Tokuc, BurcuThe aim of this study was to evaluate the nurses' hand-washing behaviour and knowledge before and after a training programme. This prospective study involved 200 nurses who participated in hand-washing training at a university hospital in Turkey. The data were collected using a personal information form and pre- and post-test surveys that had been developed by the researchers. During the study, the nurses received 40 min of training on hand washing and a handbook prepared by the researchers. The hand-washing behaviour and knowledge of the nurses were assessed before training and 1 month after the training. To analyse the data, descriptive statistics, a t-test and a Mc Nemar chi-squared test were used. Following the training, there was a significant increase in the frequency of hand washing by the nurses (t = -2.202, P = 0.029), together with an increase in the time allowed for hand washing (P = 0.024, P < 0.05), knowledge of hand-washing practices (t = -16.081, P < 0.05) and quality (t = -10.874, P < 0.05). Planned training programmes for hand washing should be implemented to improve the behaviour and knowledge of nurses.Öğe Inadequate Knowledge Levels of Turkish Male University Students about Testicular Self-Examination(Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2011) Ozbas, Ayfer; Cavdar, Ikbal; Findik, Ummu Yildiz; Akyuz, NurayIntroduction: Testicular cancer occurs in men aged between 15-35, accounting for 1% of all male cancers. The most common symptom is a painless swelling in the early period, so it is important for individuals to be conscious about and perform testicular self-examination. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and performance of testicular self-examination (TSE) in male university students. Methods: The target population of the study consisted of 275 male university students aged between 20-25. Data were collected using a 27 item-questionnaire developed by the investigators consisting of 3 sections: 1) socio-demographic characteristics; 2) risk factors for testicular cancer; 3) practices related to TSE. The data obtained were analyzed using frequency distribution and percentages. Results: 88% of the students (n=242) reported having no knowledge of TSE, whereas 36% (n=12) of the remaining 12% (n=33) reported having performed TSE. With regard to the reasons for non-performance, 88% (n=242) of the participants said they did not know about TSE, 6% (n=17) said they did not attach importance to TSE and 4% (n=11) were afraid. Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrated that adolescent males should be educated by nurses about testicular tumors and their symptoms as well as TSE performance.
