Öğe The effect of anti-fatigue floor mat on pain and fatigue levels of surgical team members: A crossover study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Unver, Seher; Organ, Esra MakalAs ergonomics is important to maintain comfort, this study aimed to examine the effect of anti-fatigue floor mats on pain and fatigue levels of surgical team members. Thirty-eight members participated in this crossover -designed study with no-mat and with-mat conditions, separated by a one-week washout period. They stood on the 15 mm thick rubber anti-fatigue floor mat and on the standard antistatic polyvinyl chloride flooring surface during the surgical procedures. Subjective ratings of pain and fatigue levels were measured pre and after-surgery for each experimental condition using the Visual Analogue Scale and Fatigue-Visual Analogue Scale scales. The after-surgery pain and fatigue levels for the with-mat condition were significantly lower than the no mat con-dition (p < .05). Consequently, anti-fatigue floor mats are effective in decreasing pain and fatigue levels of surgical team members during surgical procedures. Using anti-fatigue mats may be a practical and easy way to prevent discomfort that is often experienced by surgical teams.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.

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between surgical fear and satisfaction with nursing care in surgical patients. This descriptive correlational study was conducted with 110 patients who underwent planned major surgical intervention in a university hospital in Turkey. A patient introduction form, the Surgical Fear Questionnaire and Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Care Scale were used to collect data, as well as a face to face interview with patients during the pre and postoperative periods. The results showed that the surgical fear levels of the patients were low, their satisfaction with nursing care was high, and a weak correlation existed between the fear and satisfaction levels. We recommend nursing care interventions aimed at keeping the surgical fear levels of patients low and their satisfaction high.Öğe Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of the Surgical Anxiety Questionnaire for Adult Patients(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Topcu, Sacide Yildizeli; Soydas, Duygu; Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Unver, Seher; Organ, Esra Makal; Findik, Ummu YildizPurpose: This research aims to adapt the Surgical Anxiety Questionnaire (SAQ) to Turkish culture and conduct validity and reliability studies.Design: This research is a methodological study.Methods: The sample of the research consisted of 311 patients and research data were collected between April 2019 and May 2021. Findings: The scale content validity index was 0.931. As a result of the factor analysis, the items were distrib-uted in four subdimensions and explained 58.745% of the variance, and the model had good fit values. The Cronbach's a coefficient of the scale was 0.890.Conclusions: The Turkish version of SAQ is a valid and reliable measurement tool and can be used for adult patients.(c) 2022 American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses.
