Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study design was performed. Female children with PP and healthy controls were compared for self-esteem and anxiety using the Coopersmith Self- Esteem Inventory (CSEI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children with two sections including the State Anxiety Inventory for Children (SAIC) and the Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (TAIC). Results: The study included 172 children, 86 females with PP [median age (minimummaximum) 9.41 (8-12.42) years] and 86 healthy controls [median age (minimum-maximum) 9.41 (8.08-12.08) years]. The SAIC scores of female children with PP were significantly higher than that of children without PP [27 (20-51) vs. 24 (20-43), respectively, p=0.002]. There were no differences in TAIC scores [33 (22-53) vs. 32 (20-50), p=0.062] and CSEI scores [80 (28-100) vs. 82 (48-100), p=0.196] between children with and without PP. A negative correlation was observed between the CSEI and SAIC scores in both children with PP (r=-0.354, p<0.001) and without PP (r=-0.339, p<0.001). A negative correlation was observed between the CSEI scores and the TAIC scores in both children with PP (r=-0.684, p<0.001) and without PP (r=-0.504, p=<0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that female children with PP had higher state anxiety than non-PP peers. In both groups, self-esteem scores increased while anxiety scores decreased.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Living with Type 1 Diabetes: A Qualitative Study(OrtadogŸu Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., 2022) B., Pinar; T., TuranObjective: Type 1 diabetes is an absolute insulin-dependent autoimmune disease. It is generally seen in children and adolescents and its prevalence is increasing day by day. The management of a chronic disease during adolescence may affect the individual's biological, psychological and socialization processes. Purpose: This study was conducted to determine how Type 1 diabetes affected the lives of adolescents. Matreial and Methods: This qualitative study is of a phenomenological type. The study covered a total of 19 adolescents (14 girls and 5 boys) in 12 to 18 age group at a Pamukkale university hospital, who were followed up with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. In the study, the data were collected by using the semi-structured interview form and through the in-depth interview method. Interviews were recorded and ranged from a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of 45 minutes. The data obtained were evaluated using the content analysis method. Results: Adolescents with type 1 diabetes were affected in terms of experience, emotion and perception. Conclusion: As a result of this study, it has been found that type 1 diabetes affects adolescents' lives in many ways. In the follow-up of the disease, healthcare professionals should be aware of the factors that negatively affect the quality of life of adolescents by reducing their compliance with the disease and treatment, and should include the elimination of these factors or keeping them under control in their care. © 2022 OrtadogŸu Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S..

In particular, it can be even more difficult for mothers with frequent crying babies. The aim of this study is to determine the factors that may cause shaking and shaking of babies aged 1-4 months by their mothers. Material and Methods: A total of 180 mothers were included in our descriptive and cross-sectional study. Research data were compiled using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, the Fragile Infant Scale, and the mother and infant descriptive characteristics form. Results: When the variables of mothers and babies and the state of being shaken by their mothers were examined, it was seen that none of the variables were effective. In addition, the frequency of swinging during the day was 5.3±3.2, the frequency of rocking to sleep was 5.7±3.8, the frequency of swinging in the car was 2.9±2.8, and the frequency of playing the game of being thrown into the air was 3.4±3.3. Babies with a high frequency of crying shake about 1.5 times more than babies who do not cry. The mothers' mean depression scores were found to be 12.1±7, and the fragile infant perception mean score was 31.9±5.3. In the correlation analysis, no statistically significant relationship was found between mothers' depression scale score and fragile baby perception scale score and shaking their babies. The first three practices preferred by the mothers when their babies started to cry were shaking (66.6%), breastfeeding/feeding (63.8%) and pacifier (23.3%), respectively. It was determined that the first three practices preferred by the mothers when the babies continued to cry were shaking (61.1%), breastfeeding/ feeding (58.3%), and playing the throwing game (53.8%), respectively. Conclusion: The results of our study showed that the babies of the mothers included in the study had a low risk for shaken baby syndrome, especially in this period when abuse against children increased with the restrictions that came to the fore in the coronavirus disease-2019 epidemic.

Therefore, it is important to vaccinate the community. This study was aimed at examining the reasons for individuals' COVID-19 vaccine hesitations, and decisions that have changed over time. Material and methods: This was a prospective longitudinal qualitative study. Results: Confidence, fear, conspiracy theories, belief, and social pressure play a role in vaccine hesitancy. The most important factor in the changing decisions of individuals who are hesitant about vaccination is pressure. Confidence and fear also lead to a change of decision. However, it was remarkable that most of the participants who were vaccinated due to pressure did not want to be revaccinated. Conclusions: Governments, media, vaccine companies, health professionals, and scientists should act together to increase the vaccination rates of individuals. © 2022 Elsevier España, S.L.U.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Experiences, emotions, and expectations of nurse mothers during the COVID-19 process(W.B. Saunders, 2022-11) Tinmaz, Gamze; Altundag, SebahatPurpose: This study was designed to investigate the life experiences, emotions, and expectations of nurse mothers (NMs) during the COVID-19 process. Design and methods: A phenomenological approach was used in this qualitative research. The study was carried out with 18 nurses who worked in a hospital, had at least one child in the 0–18 age group, and agreed to participate in the study. Study data were collected through individual in-depth interviews and analyzed by using the content analysis method. Results: The analysis of the findings related to the experiences, emotions, and expectations of NMs during the COVID-19 process yielded three main themes, namely, difficulties experienced, emotions experienced, and coping. Conclusions: Nurse mothers should be supported mentally during the pandemic period so that they can maintain a healthier relationship with their children. Practice implications: When we consider that NMs have experienced negative emotions in the COVID-19 period, investigation of the problems they have experienced during the pandemic, and the situation they have been in and the development of strategies and coping methods to better manage the process will support NMs. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13A qualitative study of pregnant women's opinions on COVID-19 vaccines in Turkey(Churchill Livingstone, 2022-11) Uludag, Elif; Sercekus, Pinar; Yildirim, Dicle Filiz; Ozkan, SevgiObjectives: to examine pregnant Turkish women's opinions on COVID-19 vaccines. Design: a qualitative approach was used to gather data through semi-structured interviews. Participants and setting: 16 women about to receive a vaccine during their pregnancy and who did or did not experience vaccine hesitancy participated. Analysis: qualitative content analysis. Findings: three main themes emerged regarding the pregnant women's opinions on COVID-19 vaccines: fear, security/insecurity and social support. Key conclusions and implications for practice: pregnant women mostly recalled their babies and fears about COVID-19 vaccines. Although the fear of vaccines created vaccine hesitancy during pregnancy, the fear of contracting COVID-19 led to a positive attitude to the vaccines. It is critical to provide pregnant women with information about COVID-19 and vaccines for the disease in order to enhance vaccination rates among pregnant women. © 2022 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Effect of chronic neck pain on balance, cervical proprioception, head posture, and deep neck flexor muscle endurance in the elderly(Geriatrics Society, 2019-06-15) Sekeroz, Serbay; Aslan Telci, Emine; Akkaya, NurayIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic nonspecific neck pain on balance, cervical proprioception, head posture, and deep neck flexor muscle endurance in the elderly. Materials and Method: Elderly participants aged ?65 years with chronic neck pain (n=16; 9 females) and without neck pain [n=16; 8 females (control group)] were included in this study. Balance function of the participants was assessed using the SportKAT 550 kinesthetic balance device, one-leg standing test, and timed up and go test. The joint position error test was used to evaluate cervical proprioception. Head posture was assessed by craniovertebral angle measurement, and muscle endurance was evaluated by the deep neck flexor endurance test. Results: All balance tests results, joint position error value, and deep neck flexor muscle endurance were better in the control group than in the neck pain group (p<0.05). No difference was observed between the neck pain and control groups with respect to the craniovertebral angle value (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our results indicate that chronic neck pain negatively affects the balance, cervical proprioception, and muscle endurance in the elderly. Our study results will guide health professionals to plan appropriate treatment strategies for the elderly with neck pain. © 2019, Geriatrics Society.

Methods: Sample was comprised of 602 Turkish nursing students with clinical practice experience at the hospital. The CLES+T, developed by Saarikoski, was used for data collection. Language equivalency, internal consistency, item-total correlation, and structure validity were conducted within the scope of the validity and reliability study on the CLES +T scale. Results: It was determined that item-total correlations of four items were lower than 0.30, and those items were removed from the scale as a result of item analysis. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the scale was 0.93-0.99; item total point correlations of the scale varied between 0.45 and 0.66; six factors were identified in the CLES+T factor analysis study, with a total variance explained by these six factors of 64%. Conclusion: According to the findings of the research, the CLES+T Turkish version was found to be a valid and reliable scale, which can be used to evaluate satisfaction of nursing students with their clinical education in Turkey. © 2018 Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 39The stress levels of parents of premature infants and related factors in nenoatal intensive care units(Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2018-04-25) Cekin, Burcu; Turan, TurkanThe aim of this study is to determine the stress levels of parents whose premature baby are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to determine the factors affecting their stress. The study sample included 101 parents of premature babies in the NICU of a university hospital. Interviews were conducted with the parents. Additionally, the Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS:NICU) was administered. When the stress levels of parents in the NICU were analyzed, it was found that their scores on the infant’s appearance and behaviors subscale of the PSS:NICU reflected the highest rate of stress. The mean score on the parental role alterations subscale was higher among mothers than fathers (p<0.05). Additionally, high stress levels were found among parents who had children other than their baby in the NICU, parents whose baby had a young gestation age and a low birthweight, parents whose baby was on a respiration device, and parents who had experienced a stressful event in the past year. The stress levels of parents whose premature baby was hospitalized in the NICU were also high. The family-centred approach is recommended to identify and meet all the needs of all such parents. © 2018, Turkish Journal of Pediatrics. All rights reserved.
