In this study, we identified the physical restraint practices of nurses in ICUs and investigated their knowledge on this subject and factors affecting their decisions to use restraints. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The sample group consisted of nurses (n=101) who worked in the ICUs of a university hospital and a state hospital in Edirne. Data were collected using the Questionnaire Form, which included working life and demographic characteristics of the nurses, and Attitudes, Levels of Knowledge, and Practices of Staff Regarding the Physical Restraint Questionnaire. Data were evaluated using percentages, arithmetic means, percentages, and Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests using IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0. Results: It was found that 62.4% of the nurses did not receive training on the use of physical restraints and that 81.2% of them practiced using physical restraints if required. The mean score of knowledge, attitude, and practice of the nurses on physical restraint use were 7.6+/-1.6, 30.4+/-4.2, and 36.8+/-3.7, respectively. A relationship was found between the knowledge score on physical restraint use and education on physical restraints (p=0.02) and between the attitude score on physical restraint use and the nurses' education degree (p=0.03). A statistical difference was found between the working units (p=0.002) and education on the use of physical restraints (p=0.000). This study found that only 38.6% of the nurses always used physical restraints on a physician's order. Conclusion: We found that although a majority of nurses working in ICUs did not receive training on the use of physical restraints, the level of knowledge on nurses' use of physical restraints and their attitudes to practice restraint use was positive. However, nurses' practice on the use of physical restraints on the order of the physician and the approval of enlightenment were not to the desired level during the practice of physical restraint use. It would be useful to focus on the responsibilities of nurses in relation to the topic of in-service training to be organized on the use of physical restraints.Öğe Nurses' perceptions of spiritual care and attitudes toward the principles of dying with dignity: A sample from Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Gurdogan, Eylem Pasli; Kurt, Duygu; Aksoy, Berna; Kinici, Ezgi; Sen, AylaSpiritual care is vital for holistic care and dying with dignity.

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between death anxiety and attitudes toward the care of dying patient in nursing students. This study planned as a descriptive was carried out 376 students who were educated in the first, second, third and fourth grades of the nursing department of faculty of health sciences of a university in Turkey. Data were collected with 'Death Anxiety Scale' and 'Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD-Form B)'. The students' mean score on the death anxiety scale was 32.98 +/- 15.01 and their mean score on the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale was 105.09 +/- 9.42. The level of death anxiety is different in gender and the classes. Also, it is inversely related to the attitude toward the care of the dying patients. It is important to reduce death anxiety in order to increase positive attitudes toward the care of the dying patient.
