Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4The Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Version of the Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale (T-POFRAS)(Galenos Yayincilik, 2021-08-20) Camur, Zuhal; Cetinkaya, BenguAim: To test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale (T-POFRAS) in order to add this scale to the literature. Materials and Methods: A methodological study was conducted with 90 pre-terms in a neonatal intensive care unit in a state hospital. Results: The best cut-off score value was 29 from the receiver operating characteristics analysis. For the 1st observer, 100% sensitivity and 95.7% specificity were seen at a cut-off score of 29, whereas for the 2nd observer, 95.5% sensitivity and 97.8% specificity were seen. The inter-rater agreement was quite high when the two observers were divided into groups according to their cut-off scores (Kappa=0.933; p=0.0001). The inter-rater agreement was 96.7% (in 87 preterms). Conclusion: This study showed that the validity of the Turkish version of T-POFRAS was acceptable.Article The Relationship Between Nurses' Professional Commitment and Caring Behaviors: A Cross-Sectional Study(Univ Estadual Maringa, Pro-Reitoria Pesquisa Pós-Graduação, 2025-07-10) Bekdik, Nimet Gokce; Dudukcu, Figen TurkThis study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses' professional commitment and caring behaviors. This was a cross-sectional-correlational research design. Study conducted with 293 nurses. Data were collected between January and March 2023. Ethics committee approval and informed written consent of the participant were obtained for the study. The data were collected by using the 'Nurse Information Form', 'Caring Behaviours Inventory-24 (CBI-24)' and 'Nursing Professional Commitment Scale (NPCS)'. It was found that the mean score of the NPCS was 82.71 +/- 14.306. and of the CBI-24 was 5.38 +/- 0.653. Nurses' professional commitment and caring behaviors were high. It was found that the NPCS total and subscales' scores have positively correlations with the total and sub-scores of CBI-24. However, this relationship was weak (r = 0.421, p < .001). Professional commitment explained 17% of the variance in caring behaviors. Professional commitment and caring behaviors are at a high level in nursing. However, there is no significant relationship between nurses' professional commitment and caring behaviors. These findings may provide ideas for managers to strengthen nurses' professional commitment and increase their caring behaviors. Thus, health policies related to nurses can be developed.Article Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Klinik Uygulamalarda Sağlık Teknolojilerine Yönelik Tutumlarının ve Bireysel Yenilikçi Davranışlarının Değerlendirilmesi: Kesitsel ve Korelasyonel Bir Çalışma(Galenos Publ House, 2025-07-08) Ozen Cinar, Ilgun; Inci, Fadime Hatice; Kostu, Nazan; Ozkaya Bozkurt, Edanur; Çınar, İlgün; Özkaya, EdanurObjective: Future nurses' effective use of health technologies requires sufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, individual innovativeness, and self-efficacy behaviors toward these technologies. This study examined nursing students' health technology attitudes and individual innovativeness behaviors. Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study involved 346 students with practice experience in the nursing department of a university. Identification form, the Health Personnel Health Technology Assessment Attitude Scale, and the Individual Innovativeness Scale (IIS) were used. Descriptive statistics and correlation test were used. Results: The mean total score of the Healthcare Personnel Health Technologies Assessment Attitude Scale was 99.58 +/- 10.65, and the mean total score of the IIS was 63.65 +/- 9.40. A weak positive correlation was found between students' health technology evaluation attitudes and individual innovativeness behaviors. Conclusion: Health technology should be included in the education of future nurses to teach technological tools, eliminate barriers to their use, and develop innovative behaviors. Positive attitudes will bring along innovative behaviors and ensure faster adoption of developments in health technologies. At this point, it is imperative to support the existing positive attitudes of students and encourage their innovative behaviorsArticle The Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Version of the Health Behavior Scale for Cancer Patients(AVES, 2025-07-09) Vardar, Okan; Sercekus, Pinar; Uludag, Elif; Turkcu, Sinem Goral; Ozkan, SevgiAIM: The aim of the study was to conduct a validity and reliability study of the Health Behavior Scale for Cancer Patients and to adapt the scale to the Turkish language and culture. METHODS: The research is a methodological study. The sample consisted of a total of 440 cancer patients who came to the outpatient chemotherapy unit and oncology outpatient clinic of a university hospital and followed the social media accounts of a cancer-related association. Patients aged 18 and over and with at least a primary school education were included in the study. Data were collected between January and December 2022 with the Descriptive Characteristics Form and The Health Behavior Scale for Cancer Patients. For the validity analysis, language equivalence, content validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. For the reliability, internal consistency, item-total score correlation, and test-retest were performed. RESULTS: According to the exploratory factor analysis, a two-factor structure was obtained and confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. According to the factor loadings (0.60-0.87), total variance explained (61.575), and fit indices, the construct validity of the scale was found to be sufficient. In the reliability analyses, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient (0.85) was found to be highly reliable. It was determined that there was a very strong relationship between the pre-test and the post-test (r = 0.87, p < .001). CONCLUSION: The Health Behavior Scale for Cancer Patients has been revealed to be a valid and reliable measurement tool suitable for Turkish culture. Using this scale, cancer patients' adherence to medical health services and individual protective health behaviors can be determined.Article Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of the Children's Trust in General Nurses Scale(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2025-05-31) Gulcenbay, Gulsum; Turan, TurkanAmaç: Bu araştırma, Türkçe dilinde 'Çocukların Hemşirelere Güven Ölçeği (CTGÖ) 'nin geçerlik ve güvenirliğini kanıtlamayı amaçlayan bir metodolojik çalışmadır.

There was no significant difference was found between the socio-demographic characteristics of the employees and the total scale score, and the disaster preparedness belief, motivation and obstacles to disaster preparedness were found to be high in those who were not prepared for disaster, did not have an emergency/disaster kit and did not receive disaster training. Conclusion: General Disaster Preparedness Belief score of public employees is close to the middle level. Public employees have high perceptions of obstacles related to disaster preparedness. The perception of barriers should be reduced and the perception of benefits should be increased in this group with high level of education.Article The Effect of Telehealth Based on Symptom Control and Rational Medication Use on Self-Efficacy, Anxiety-Depression, and Symptoms in Male Patients With Copd: a Quasi-Experimental Study(Ivano-frankivsk Natl Medical Univ, 2025-01-06) Takmak, Senay; Kurban, Nevin KuzuIntroduction. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a critical global public health issue, imposing substantial physical, social, and economic burdens due to its symptoms and exacerbations. Telehealth has the potential to be applied for symptom management, monitoring medication adherence, and providing psychological support. This study was carried out to determine the effect of telehealth based on symptom control and rational medication use on self-efficacy, anxiety-depression, symptoms, walking, and healthcare use outcomes in male patients with COPD. Methods. A quasi-experimental design was used. The study examined 41 patients with COPD (the intervention group = 20, the control group = 21) treated at the Department of Chest Diseases, Buldan Chest Diseases State Hospital, Denizli, T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected at baseline and three months post-intervention using the COPD Self-Efficacy Scale, the COPD Assessment Test, the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, and the Six-Minute Walk Test. All participants received routine care. The patients in the intervention group were provided with a nurse-led program and telehealth for three months. Results. A comparison of the baseline data for the two groups revealed a statistically significant difference in the incidence of respiratory hospitalizations (p = 0.009). Analysis of covariance adjusted for baseline results revealed statistically significant differences for the weather/environmental effect (p = 0.011) and behavioral risk factors subscales (p = 0.017) of the COPD Self-Efficacy Scale, as well as dyspnea score after the Six-Minute Walk Test (p = 0.034) in the intervention group compared to the control group. No significant differences were observed between the groups in anxiety-depression, symptoms, and healthcare use (p > 0.05). Conclusions. This study demonstrated that telehealth based on symptom control and rational medication use significantly affected post-walking dyspnea and partially improved COPD self-efficacy in male patients with COPD. Incorporating teamwork and device-based monitoring is recommended to enhance the effectiveness of telehealth interventions based on education and monitoring.Article Investigation of the Effects of Oral Care Methods on Oral Health in Children With Asthma Using Inhalers: a Quasi-Experimental Trial(Ataturk Univ, 2024-09-27) Can, Busra; Altundag, SebahatObjective: This study was conducted to determine the effects of tooth brushing, wiping the mouth with bicarbonate, and rinsing the mouth with water on the oral care of children with asthma using inhalers. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental quantitative research design with a pretestposttest control group. The sample of 6-10-year-old asthmatic children was divided into the tooth brushing training group (n=49), the bicarbonate mouth wiping training group (n=49), the water rinsing training group (n=49), and the control group (n=49). Data were collected using a "Sociodemographic Information Form" and an "Oral Assessment Guide". The oral assessment guide was re-administered 6 weeks after the children had received the education. Results: The findings showed that the gums were better in the group applying the wiping the mouth with bicarbonate method (P=.046), swallowing complaints decreased in the group applying the rinsing the mouth with water method (P=.003), and mucous membranes were better in the group applying the wiping the mouth with bicarbonate method (P=.046). Conclusion: As a result of the study, the method of rinsing the mouth with water was found to be more functional. Accordingly, it is recommended to rinse the mouth with water after using inhaler medication.Article Determination of pediatric nurses’ knowledge of and attitudes towards childhood autism and CT recommendations(Galenos Publishing House, 2023-06-15) Erdogan, Cigdem; Turan, TuerkanObjective: The study aimed to determine the knowledge levels and attitudes of nurses working in pediatric clinics on childhood autism and which complementary therapies (CT) methods they recommend to support children with autism Methods: The study was designed as a descriptive research and the data were collected online. This study was conducted with 135 pediatric nurses. Research data were collected through the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Societal Attitudes Toward Autism (SATA) Scale, and the Knowledge about Childhood Autism among Health Workers (KCAHW) Questionnaire. Results: While the mean score for the SATA scale of the nurses participating in the study was 48.46±9.84, the mean score of the KCAHW questionnaire was 8.13±3.81. The mean scores for the subdimensions of the SATA scale was 7.93±2.49 at the lowest and 28.33±6.11 at the highest. In this study, nurses suggested six different CT practices in total, with exercise being the most frequently recommended one. Conclusion: The level of knowledge on childhood autism among our participants was found to be above average. In addition, in this study, the knowledge level of pediatric nurses was related to their attitudes towards individuals with autism at a very high level. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare a guide on autism and CT suggested by the nurses. It is recommended to plan the necessary interventions to improve the knowledge and attitudes of pediatric nurses about autism and to prepare a guide about CT to be used by nurses. © 2023 The authors.

We compared the measured total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels against the transcutaneous and BiliCam methods. Materials and Methods: This analytical study was performed in a neonatal intensive care unit of a hospital in Turkey. We included 70 infants whose families gave voluntary and written consent, including those infants with a low, medium, and high risk of hyperbilirubinemia, birth weight >1,500 g, and late preterm infants. We measured the TSB and compared it with bilirubin levels obtained via the transcutaneous and BiliCam measurement methods. The relationships between the data were determined using descriptive statistical methods; continuous data showing normal distribution were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, and data that were not normally distributed were analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. Results: A statistically significant and positive correlation was observed between the levels of TSB and transcutaneous bilirubin before phototherapy (PT), whereas a moderate relationship was observed in these values after PT (p<0.01). A significant positive and moderate relationship was observed between the TSB levels and bilirubin levels measured using BiliCam before PT (p<0.01), and a weak relationship was observed between these values after PT (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our results show that considering measurement of TSB as a reference method, the transcutaneous and BiliCam methods can be used as screening methods to detect IHB.
