Öğe Attitude of Nursing Students Toward Scientific Research: A Cross-Sectional Study in Turkey(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018) Unver, Seher; Semerci, Remziye; Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Avcibasi, IlkerBackground: Nursing, a social applied science, is a dynamic profession. Professional nurses must be curious, investigative, and open to learning as well as practice critical and analytic thinking to sustain their professionalism. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of nursing students toward scientific research. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study design was used. This study was conducted at a nursing department of a university in Turkey. A sample of 375 nursing students participated. Data were collected using the "Personal Information Form'' and "Attitude Scale towards Scientific Studies.'' Standard descriptive statistical methods, correlation, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and post hoc Bonferroni were used in data analysis. Results: Nearly all (90.1%) of the participants were female, and 33.9% were sophomore (second-year) students. Junior (third-year) students held the most positive attitudes toward research, as compared with the participants in other academic years. Participants who had participated in scientific activities held more positive attitudes toward research than those who had not. Participants who had prior experience doing scientific research showed more positive attitudes toward research and researchers than those without this experience. Being older, having scientific research experience, following the continuous broadcasts related to nursing, and participating in scientific activities all significantly influenced attitude toward research (p<.05). Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Although nursing students who participated in this study exhibited generally positive attitudes toward scientific research, they had relatively little experience participating in scientific activities. Therefore, to foster a positive scientific research culture among undergraduate students, grants should be provided that encourage wider participation in scientific activities and offer opportunities for undergraduate students to do scientific research.Öğe Attitudes of surgical nurses towards pressure ulcer prevention(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2017) Unver, Seher; Findik, Ummu Yildiz; Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Surucu, CaglaStudy aim: Nurses play the key role in prevention of pressure ulcers, and negative attitudes of them may affect preventive care strategies. This research aimed to identify surgical nurses' attitudes towards pressure ulcer prevention. Materials and methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study design was used to collect data between March 31-May 16, 2016 on 101 voluntary nurses (66.01% of all nurses) working in surgical units of a university hospital in Turkey. Attitude towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument and Nurse Information Form were used to investigate nurses' attitude toward preventing pressure ulcer. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, independent samples t-test, Pearson's chi-squared, and correlation tests were used to analyse the data. Results: The mean age of nurses' was 32.0 +/- 6.3 years and, the average duration of clinical experience was 72.3 +/- 61 months. A total of 54.5% were working in surgical wards and, 40.6% gained additional education about pressure ulcer care. The mean total attitude score was found to be 80.5% (41.8 +/- 4.8). Previous education significantly affected the total attitude score of nurses (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The total scale score showed that surgical nurses had a positive attitude towards pressure ulcer prevention and nurses who had previous education about pressure ulcer care has higher attitude score than who had not. It is recommended that effective in-service education programs be developed at hospitals or that nurses be required to attend courses to help them to improve their pressure ulcer care.

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 Effect of Sending SMS, Which Reminds About the Intake of Medication, on Reducing Postoperative Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2022) Digin, Figen; Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Sahin, AysePurpose: Patients undergoing cataract surgery find postoperative medication management difficult and are anxious about this issue. Differences in the number of medications and frequency of administration can lead to confusion in patients. The aim of this randomized-controlled study was to evaluate the effect of sending short message service (SMS) texts, to reminds patients about need to take postoperative medications, on reducing postoperative anxiety in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Design: The randomized, controlled study. Methods: The patients in the experimental group received short message service reminders on the first to the seventh days postoperatively. Findings: The SMS group was found to have significantly lower State Anxiety Inventory mean scores than the control group on the seventh postoperative day (P = .001). The majority (82.9%) of patients were satisfied with receiving an SMS reminder. Conclusions: In this study, SMS reminders may be effective in decreasing postoperative anxiety for patients undergoing cataract surgery and this intervention was welcomed by patients.Öğe Effect of stoma model based education on knowledge and skill levels of student nurses: a quasi-experimental study from Turkey(Pakistan Medical Assoc, 2019) Findik, Ummu Yildiz; Yesilyurt, Duygu Soydas; Unver, Seher; Ozkan, Zeynep KizilcikObjective: To determine the effect of education with a stoma model on knowledge and skill levels of student nurses. Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted at a professional education and skills laboratory of the Nursing Department within a health sciences faculty in Turkey between March 2015 and November 2016. The sample comprised an experimental group that had students who took a surgical diseases nursing course during the spring, and a control group that had students who took the same course during the autumn. A student information form, a knowledge level evaluation form, and a skill level evaluation form were used data collection. SPSS 20 was used for data analysis. 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.

The mean ICES score of the patients was 57.4 +/- 3.9. It was found that the patients' mean scores of the satisfaction with care subscale varied according to the surgical procedure applied, connection to mechanical ventilation, and status of seeing other individuals receiving treatment. Conclusions: Patients' intensive care experiences were partially positive. Being aware of the patients' experiences, supporting them in biopsychosocial aspects, and being in contact will contribute to the improvement of their postsurgical intensive care experience.Öğe Retrospective evaluation of the effectiveness of using two different products in preventing the development of pressure injuries in patients undergoing lung lobectomy(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Isikli, Ayse Gokce; Ozkan, Zeynep KizilcikAim: This retrospective study aims to determine the impacts of two different products (barrier cream, barrier spray) routinely used before surgery on the development of postoperative pressure injuries in patients under-going lung lobectomy. Materials and methods: In the study, the researchers retrospectively examined the data of 60 patients who un-derwent lobectomy in a university hospital's thoracic surgery clinic between 12.02.2021 and 14.02.2022. The patients were divided into two groups: those to whom a barrier cream was applied (30) and those to whom a barrier spray was applied. The Patient Description Form and the Braden Risk Assessment Tool were used in data collection. The Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were conducted for statistical analyses. Results: In the study, the development rates of blanchable erythema and stage I pressure injuries in the sacral and dorsal regions were significantly higher in patients to whom a barrier spray was applied than in patients to whom a barrier cream was applied (p < 0.05). Pain intensity in the sacral and dorsal regions was significantly lower in patients to whom a barrier cream was applied than those to whom a barrier spray was applied (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Blanchable erythema and intraoperative pressure injury were observed less in patients in whom a barrier cream was used before surgery. Surgical nurses should first evaluate the risk in the preoperative period in the clinics and benefit from the use of barrier cream to prevent the development of blanchable erythema and intraoperative pressure injury.Öğe Sleep Quality and Related Factors in Surgical Intensive Care Patients(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Ozkan, Zeynep Kizilcik; Digin, Figen; Kalayci, EdaObjective: This study determined the sleep quality of surgical intensive care patients and the affecting factors.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from April 2021 to January 2022 in the surgical intensive care unit of the university hospital.
