Article Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Child Care Quality at Hospital Instrument(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2026-01) Ceylan, Sibel Serap; Turan, Türkan; Pelander, TiinaAims This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Child Care Quality at Hospital (CCQH) instrument in the Turkish population. Design This was a methodological study to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. Methods To measure the validity of the CCQH instrument, language and content validity and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, item-total score correlations and Hotelling T-2 test were used to examine reliability. Results The analyses demonstrate that the Turkish form of the CCQH instrument is valid and reliable. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlations indicated strong internal reliability. The content validity index showed that the Turkish version of the scale had content and face validity. All fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis met the expected criteria, demonstrating an acceptable model fit. Conclusion CCQH is an instrument that evaluates the quality of care from the child's perspective in school-aged children during hospitalization.Article The Effect of a Mobile-Based Lymphedema Self-Care Support Program in Women With Breast Cancer–Related Lymphedema(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2026-02-02) Z., Deveci Koçbilek; U., Karayurt; O., Bilik; S., Eyigör; Eyigör, Sibel; Karayurt, Uzgül; Bilik, Ozlem; Deveci Koçbilek, ZeynepArticle Association between Digital Parenting Behaviors and Technology Addiction in 24-to 36-Month-Old Children: A Cross-Sectional Study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2026-05) Cetinkaya, Bengu; Bakirlioglu, Burcu; Kilinc, GulsahPurpose: This study aimed to examine the association between digital parenting behaviors and technology addiction in children aged 24-36 months and to identify parental strategies associated with lower levels of technology addiction. Design and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 with 275 volunteer mothers of children aged 2-3 years. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Technology Addiction Scale, and the Digital Parenting Behavior Scale. Results: The results showed that the mean age of the mothers was 30.69 +/- 4.93 years; 59.3% of them stated that their daily screen time was 2-3 h, except at work. The technology addiction level among children was moderate, whereas mothers had high-level parenting skills. Mothers' high education level (p = 0.003), children's shortterm exposure to screens (p < 0.001), and use of digital devices for educational purposes (p <0.001) positively impacted the reduction of technology addiction. Technical precaution (beta = -0.21, p = 0.031) and controlled use of digital devices (beta = -0.25, p = 0.032), as digital parenting behaviors, were the negative predictors of technology addiction in children. Conclusion: It was concluded that risk factors should be evaluated, digital parenting behaviors should be improved, and family-oriented multidisciplinary intervention programs should be organized to prevent technology addiction in young children. Practice implications: Enhancing mothers' digital parenting behaviors-such as taking technical precautions and ensuring controlled use of digital devices-may effectively reduce technology addiction risk in young children.

Results: A total of 306 undergraduate nursing students took Usage Scale and 423 Attitudes Scale. Internal consistency was sufficient, with Cronbach's α = 0.70 for Usage and 0.78 for Attitudes. Test-retest reliability was good with ICC 0.971 for Usage and 0.986 for Attitudes. Both scales had no measurement error, excellent content validity with S-CVI ≥ 0.90, good construct validity, and demonstrated good structural validity and interpretability. Conclusions: These scales evaluate nursing students' usage and attitudes toward ChatGPT for practical integration into health education. © 2025 Organization for Associate Degree NursingArticle General, Conceptual, and Social Structure of Environmental Health Literacy Studies: Bibliometric Analysis(Wiley, 2025-12-12) Cinar, Ilgun Ozen; Bozkurt, Edanur Ozkaya; Özen Çınar, İlgün; Özkaya Bozkurt, EdanurAim: This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis and scientific mapping of publications on environmental health literacy. Methods: The Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched using the following keywords: "environmental health literacy" or "environmental health litera*" or "environmental and health literacy." A total of 149 articles published from 1993 to July 2024 were identified and analyzed. The bibliometrix package of the R programming language was used to analyze the metrics and conduct scientific mapping. Results: The annual growth rate of environmental health literacy research was 5.95%. Environmental health literacy was associated with main themes such as environmental health, risk communication, public health, health education, and communication. In research trends, the tendency towards the terms "environmental health literacy" in 2022, "urban area," "reproductive health," and "pollutant" from 2024 onwards was more evident. Conclusion: Environmental health literacy is an important developing interdisciplinary topic.Article Effectiveness of Sleep Education Interventions on Sleep Problems in Adults Receiving Hemodialysis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(Wiley, 2025-12-14) Ceylan, Hatice; Yangoz, Sefika TugbaIntroduction Hemodialysis population commonly faces sleep problems. Sleep educational interventions are implemented to address these problems, yet evidence on their effectiveness is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of sleep educational interventions on sleep problems in hemodialysis.Methods Following Cochrane Guidelines and PRISMA 2020, 11 electronic databases were searched. Data synthesis was performed with Comprehensive Meta-analysis version 3.Results This study examined six studies and revealed that sleep education significantly improved sleep quality, subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep disturbance, and medium effect on sleep efficiency, with low to high quality of evidence. Subgroup analysis found no difference in sleep quality improvement between group and individual education methods or between using and not using educational materials. Additionally, three or fewer sessions were more effective than six in enhancing sleep quality.Conclusion This meta-analysis revealed that sleep education interventions positively improve sleep-related problems.Conference Object Effectiveness of Laughter Therapy on Quality of Life in Adults With Cancer: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Studies(Elsevier, 2025-09) Yangoz, S. T.; Karakus, Z.; Ozer, Z.Article Personality Traits as Predictors of Self-Care Agency in Women with Gynecological Cancers: Cross-Sectional Study(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026-02) Colu, Huri; Uludag, ElifBackground: Gynecological cancers present a dual burden of physiological and psychosocial distress. Self-care agency defined as an individual's capacity to initiate and maintain health-related behaviors is critical for optimizing well-being in cancer patients. While psychological factors, particularly personality traits, are known to influence self-care in chronic illnesses, their role in gynecological oncology remains underexplored. This study aimed to determine whether personality traits predict self-care agency among women with gynecological cancers. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was employed with 200 women recruited via convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic form, the Cervantes Personality Scale, and the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale. Simple linear regression analyses examined the predictive value of personality subscales on self-care agency. Results: Personality traits were found to be significant predictors of self-care agency. Extroversion, emotional stability, and consistency explained 37.5 %, 20.1 %, and 30.4 % of the variance in self-care agency, respectively (p < 0.05). Women with higher levels of these traits demonstrated greater self-care capacity, while introversion, neuroticism, and inconsistency were linked to reduced self-care agency. Conclusions: This study highlights the significant role of personality traits in influencing self-care agency in this population. Tailoring supportive care to address individual personality characteristics may improve self-management and overall treatment outcomes. Incorporating psychosocial assessments into routine care and developing targeted interventions could enhance quality of life. Future research should focus on intervention studies to validate these approaches and optimize personalized care strategies in gynecological oncology.Book Part The Assessment of Health in School-Age Children(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2025) Kartal, A.; Bozkurt, E.Ö.School is an important environment where children come together apart from their family life. Health assessment in school-age children is crucial for development of a healthy life. Through the assessment process, school nurses can identify children's growth, developmental needs, and potential problems. Assessment of health contributes to early identification of problems, and health prevention and promotion. The primary method for assessment of school-age children's health history is through regular and long-term followup. Therefore, assessing the health of school-age children is a process that requires significant dedication and effort. When working with children, school nurses should conduct health assessments by considering developmental patterns appropriate for each age group to plan timely health interventions. In this chapter, health assessment is discussed under the headings of health history, physical examination, developmental characteristics, general examination, system evaluation, and mental health evaluation. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.Book Part Immunizations in School-Age Children and Adolescents(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2025) Korkmaz Aslan, G.K.; Öztürk Çopur, E.Ö.; Çopur, Ebru Öztürk; Aslan, Gülbahar KorkmazImmunization is the process of protecting a person against a disease by vaccination. It is one of the most reliable and effective ways to prevent mortality and morbidity. To maintain this success, it is necessary to continue vaccination practices by adhering to the principle of vaccination from birth to death. Recognition of the importance of booster doses to extend the protection of infant and early childhood vaccines and the development of new vaccines for children and adolescents, such as human papillomavirus vaccines, have led to increased interest in immunization strategies for school-aged children and adolescents. Low vaccination coverage in this age group may pose a risk not only for this age group but also for public health. Therefore, immunization services for school-aged children and adolescents are important. Countries' immunization strategies for school-aged children and adolescents vary. Although they vary according to national immunization policies, recommended vaccines for school-aged children and adolescents include tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, HPV (human papillomavirus), and influenza. Hepatitis B, inactivated polio, MMR (measles, rubella, mumps), and hepatitis A are recommended for those who have missed their vaccinations. Hib, conjugated pneumococcal, meningococcal, and varicella are recommended for those at risk. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
