Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2The impact of digital storytelling for children during paediatric day surgery on anxiety and negative emotional behaviors: Randomized controlled trial(W.B. Saunders, 2024-07) Mete, Selver; Cetinkaya, BenguPurpose: The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of digital storytelling as a therapeutic care intervention in paediatric day surgery. Design and methods: his study was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental design. Seventy-two voluntary children who were scheduled for day surgery and met the inclusion criteria for the study were included. Research data were collected using the Child's Descriptive Information Form, the Children's Emotional Manifestation Scale, and the State Anxiety Inventory for Children. The study group used digital storytelling to prepare for day surgery. Results: State anxiety scores decreased over time in the study group. The digital storytelling intervention was found to be effective in reducing anxiety scores. In the control group, state anxiety scores were highest on the day of the surgery. Children in the control group experienced higher levels of anxiety on the day of the surgery compared to those in the study group. The high anxiety levels in the control group continued at a higher level even two weeks after surgery. Children in the control group exhibited more negative emotional behaviors on the day of the surgery. Conclusion: The digital storytelling intervention implemented in this research was found to be effective in reducing children's anxiety and negative emotional behaviors. Practice implications: Digital storytelling should be applied and adapted to various other areas of paediatric surgery. Its utilization is significant for nurses working in the field of day surgery. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6The effect of online breastfeeding education on breastfeeding motivation: A randomized controlled study(W.B. Saunders, 2024-03) Goksen, Dicle Filiz Yildirim; Ozkan, SevgiPurpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of online breastfeeding education on breastfeeding motivation. Design and methods: The study had a single blind randomized, controlled, experimental design. The women in the online education group were primipara and in their postpartum 4–8 weeks and fulfilled inclusion criteria for the study. The study population comprised of the women presenting to the pregnancy outpatient clinic or giving birth in the gynecological and obstetrics clinic of a university hospital hospital in the West of Turkey and hearing about the Online Breastfeeding Education through social media. The sample size was calculated through a similar study. Data were collected between February 2022–November 2022. Simple random sampling was used and the study sample comprised of 50 women, of whom 25 were in the online breastfeeding education group and 25 were in the control group. Online breastfeeding education was given in groups of three or two, depending on availability, via the video communication platform (Zoom Video Communications). The control group received routine care. Data analysis was made with descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon rank sum test and Mann Whitney U test. Results: Integrative motivation (U = 284, p < .05) and intrinsic motivation-identified regulation (U = 196, p < .05) significantly increased compared to the control group. Conclusion: Online breastfeeding education offered in the postpartum period can help to increase breastfeeding rates. Practice implications: It is recommended that nurses monitor breastfeeding status in the postpartum period and motivate mothers with online breastfeeding training in cases where access is not available.

Saunders, 2023-11) Ceylan, Sibel Serap; Turan, TurkanPurpose: A positive attitude toward family-centered care practices should be developed in undergraduate education. This study aimed to investigate nursing students' attitudes toward parental participation in child patient care and the factors that influence it. Design and methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study data were collected from the nursing department of a university located in the west of Turkey. The study was conducted with 260 nursing students. The descriptive Features Form, Family-Centered Care Practices Form, and Parental Participation Attitude Scale were used in data collection. Results: The students' average parental participation attitude in care scores was at a moderate level. It has been determined that gender, hospitalization experience, education on family-centered care, and support from instructors in family-centered care practices had a positive effect on the student's attitudes toward parental participation in care (p < 0.05). The regression analysis showed gender and family-centered care education as predictors of student’ attitudes toward parent participation in care. Conclusions: It was found that students' attitudes toward parental participation in the care of child patients were at an indecision level and not at the desired grade, and it was affected by gender, hospitalization experience, education, and instructor support. Practice implications: The development of family-centered care practices should begin in nursing education. It is recommended that detailed attention be given to topics related to family-centered care in nursing education, and seminars be organized on this subject. Thus, nursing students can both develop a positive attitude toward family-centered care and learn to work together with the family. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Pain Management Knowledge and Attitudes for Surgical Nursing Students(W.B. Saunders, 2023-08) Gok, Fadime; Topcu, Sacide YildizeliBackground: Pain is considered as one of the most common factors that cause people to seek medical care. An important responsibility of health professionals is to manage pain, and nurses play a crucial role in it. Therefore, nursing students must have pain management knowledge and skills to fulfill this role. Aim: The objective of the study was to examine pain management knowledge and attitudes of nursing students who had taken a surgical nursing course. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with volunteer second-year undergraduate nursing students (n = 260) from two universities in Turkey. The Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain and a student demographic information form were used for data collection. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t test and variance analysis. Results: The mean score on the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain was 6.78 ± 2.23. Of all the students, 48.8% reported that they only preferred pharmacologic treatments for pain management. The mean score on the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain significantly differed in terms of the type of high school (p = .044) and the unit for clinical education (p = .025). Conclusions: The students had a moderate mean score on the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain. The students who graduated from high school and those who received their clinical education in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery units had significantly higher mean scores on pain management knowledge and attitudes. © 2023 American Society for Pain Management NursingArticle 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: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Factors affecting sleep quality of mothers of children with chronic illnesses(W.B. Saunders, 2022-09) Bakirlioglu, Burcu; Cetinkaya, BenguPurpose: This present research, mothers of children with chronic illnesses were compared with mothers of children with no chronic illnesses with the aim of determining which factors affect their sleep quality. Design and methods: The descriptive-type data obtained from this research were collected from 270 mothers of children with chronic illnesses and 197 mothers of healthy children between November 10 and December 10, 2021. All participants were asked to complete a survey. The data were assessed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25 and the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), and Logistic Regression Analysis. Results: The total mean The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score for mothers of chronically ill children was found to be 9.79 ± 3.68 while it was 6.68 ± 3.62 for mothers of heathy children with a statically significant difference (t = 9.075, p = 0.00). The fact that mothers wake up for the care/treatment of their children due to the onset of an illness was found to be associated with poor sleep quality (OR = 0.388 p = 0.017; OR = 0.178, p = 0.000). Conclusions: In the present study, it was determined that mothers of children with chronic illnesses suffer from sleep problems and that the sleep quality of those mothers varies depending on the illness types of their children. Practice implications: Pediatric nurses are requested to assess the sleep quality of mothers with suitable measurement tools to determine what types of problems affect sleep quality negatively when dealing with children with chronic illnesses in both clinical and non-clinical practices. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8The effect of solution-focused approach on anger management and violent behavior in adolescents: A randomized controlled trial(W.B. Saunders, 2022-12) Akbas, Ebru; Yigitoglu, Gueay TasdemirBackground: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of a solution-focused approach on anger management and violent behavior in adolescents. Method: The study was an experimental and randomized controlled trial including pre-test and post-test measurements and control group. The sample of experimental (n = 24) and control groups (n = 24) of the study consisted of 48 students. A 7-session program of anger management and prevention of violent behavior based on a solution focused approach was applied to the experimental group. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between trait anger, anger in, anger out, anger control sub-dimensions and VTS scores of the experimental and control groups before the intervention (p > 0.05). In post-test and follow-up test, trait anger (23.32 ± 2.83) (21.10 ± 3.51), anger-out (14.95 ± 4.16) (15.50 ± 3.49) and the mean scores of VTS (30.77 ± 4.01) (32.80 ± 4.53) of the individuals in the experimental group were significantly lower, whereas their mean score of anger control (24.86 ± 3.62) (23.65 ± 4.44) were significantly higher than the control group. Conclusion: Solution-oriented approach programs should be used by psychiatric nurses to provide anger management and reduce violence tendencies in adolescents. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Developmental Support Competency Scale for Nurses (DSCS-N)(W.B. Saunders, 2020-09) Kahraman, Ayse; Ceylan, Sibel SerapPurpose: Developmental care is considered an important component of development and health promotion of premature infants, however, studies regarding assessment of nurses' competency of developmental care are inadequate. This study is designed to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Developmental Support Competency Scale for Nurses (DSCS-N). Design and methods: This methodological study includes 140 nurses working at a tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Data were collected using the Nurse Introductory Form and Developmental Support Competency Scale for Nurses. The scale was assessed in terms of language and content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and time invariance. Results: The scale consisted of 19 items and six subscales. In the confirmatory analysis, which is a validity analysis, it was found that the scale's factor loadings ranged between 0.27 and 0.92, and the ratio of chi-square to degrees of freedom was 1.64. Other fit indices (CFI = 0.96, NFI = 0.92, NNFI = 0.95) were at desirable levels. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.90. According to item analysis results, item-total correlations ranged between 0.26 and 0.66. It was found that nurses' responses to the scale items at two different times were consistent and did not change over time (p > 0.05). Conclusions: DSCS-N is a valid and reliable scale for measuring Turkish nurses' competency of developmental support. Practice implications: DSCS-N can be used as a tool contributing to the implementation of developmental care. The scale can help nurses working in neonatal intensive care units to determine their competency of developmental care. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Risky behaviors of mothers with infants on sudden infant death syndrome in Turkey(W.B. Saunders, 2018-01) Erdogan, Cigdem; Turan, TurkanPurpose: Sudden infant death syndrome is the most common cause of death during the post-neonatal period. Factors such as sleeping position, bed sharing, pillow use, smoking during pregnancy and the breastfeeding period constitute risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome. This study aims to identify the risky behaviors of mothers with infants that may put their children at risk for sudden infant death syndrome. Design and methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was developed by the researchers. The questionnaire was filled out by 456 mothers who applied to the family health center between October 2014 and January 2015. Results: The greatest risk factor is the infant's sleeping position. A total of 77.9% of the mothers put their babies in bed in a non-supine position; 65.8% used a pillow when they put their babies in bed, 52.9% used a soft mattress, and 28.5% shared their beds with their babies. Prone sleeping was more likely to occur when smoke was present in the home or a pillow was used. Conclusion: Nurses should notify families of the risky behaviors that can cause sudden infant death syndrome and plan appropriate nursing care. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 33Coping measurement: Creating short form of Coping and Adaptation Processing Scale using item response theory and patients dealing with chronic and acute health conditions(W.B. Saunders, 2016-11) Roy, Callista; Bakan, Gulcan; Li, Zhushan; Nguyen, Tam H.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to enhance the CAPS tool by clarifying the concept of coping, using item response theory (IRT) to shorten and assess the metric equivalence of the scale, and testing the preliminary validity of the resulting shortened scale. Methods: A descriptive design of participants from different ethnic backgrounds was employed (USA n=347 and Panama n=327). To select items for the shortened CAPS, awell-establishedmulti-step process grounded in IRTwas used. Further, a coping ladder was created to approximate the a priori perceived location/difficulty of each item along the coping trait scale. Items for the shortened scale were selected based on considerations central to the middle range theory of coping and adaptation processing and the results of the item calibration andmodel testing. Results: A total of 15 itemswere selected. The selected items werewell distributed on the coping ladder and all basic subconcepts of the middle range theory were included. Further the sum of the DIF size for the selected short form items is -0.01, so the overall bias of the total score is minimal. Finally, concurrent and divergent validity of the new scale was demonstrated in two separate correlational studies. Conclusion: The 15-item Coping and Adaptation Processing Scale (CAPS)-Short-Form can be a practical tool to effectively and efficiently measure coping and adaptation in both practice and research for people dealing with both chronic and acute health conditions. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
