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.Article Wearable Technologies in Nursing Research: A Bibliometric Analysis(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2025-07-07) Yangoz, Sefika Tugba; Kavradim, Selma Turan; Ozer, ZeynepWearable technology is widely used in nursing; however, there is lack of information on global outcomes, trends, hot topics, and thematic evolution.

The study aims to examine the effect of the Lymphedema Patient School on objective and patient-reported measures in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema. Methods: The study is a one-group quasi-experimental design. The study sample consisted of 26 women who developed lymphedema due to breast cancer. Patients were trained within the scope of a patient school for self-care education in lymphedema. Data were collected before, 3, and 6 months after the training. Objective outcome parameters included body mass index (BMI), hand grip strength and arm volume measurements. Patient-reported outcomes were collected using the "Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema Self-Care Scale (BCRLSS),""Quality of Life Measure for Limb Lymphedema (LYMQOL),""The Cancer-Related Lymphedema of the Upper Extremity Tool (CLUE),"and "Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2)"scales. Results: The mean age of the patients was 52.90 ± 8.34 years (min:36-max:67). The mean time since breast cancer diagnosis was 6.32 ± 5.39 years. Statistically significant differences were found in BCRLSS (P =.001), arm volume (P =.022), LYMQOL (P <.001), CLUE (P =.006), handgrip strength (P =.026), and BMI (P =.032). No significant difference was found in the BAS-2 (P =.201). Conclusion: Lymphedema Patient School was found to increase self-care, improve quality of life, improve lymphedema-related characteristics, decrease arm volume, increase handgrip strength, and decrease BMI in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema. Lymphedema patient school is a safe and effective training method for lymphedema self-management in individuals with breast cancer-related lymphedema. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article 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 Investigation of Signs of Emotional Abuse and Neglect of Children With Chronic Diseases: the Drawing Method(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025-05-21) Yildiz, Esra; Altundag, SebahatThis study was carried out to investigate the emotional abuse and neglect (EAN) signs of children with chronic diseases who were hospitalized due to medical symptoms. The research was conducted using the projective drawing method based on the descriptive research model. Participants were 62 children aged 7–12 years old with any diagnosed chronic disease who were hospitalized in the pediatric clinic for three months and their parents. Data were collected with a descriptive information form and the drawing technique that was applied to the children, who were asked to draw figures about themes like “mother,” “father,” and “illness.” The analysis of qualitative data suggested that 59.6% of the children might have symptoms of EAN and that the vast majority (93.5%) of the drawings reflected mother figures. It is recommended that pediatric nurses use the drawing method to communicate with children in the clinic. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Associations of eHealth Literacy with Cervical Cancer and Human Papillomavirus Awareness Among Women in Türkiye a Cross-Sectional Study(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2025-04-18) Aslan, Gulbahar Korkmaz; Isleyen, Eda Kilinc; Kartal, Asiye; Korkmaz Aslan, Gülbahar; Kılınç İşleyen, EdaInternet is women's primary source of information about cervical cancer and human papillomavirus. The aim of this study was to determine the associations of electronic health literacy with cervical cancer and human papillomavirus awareness among women of reproductive age. This is a cross-sectional study. The research sample consisted of 330 women of reproductive age (15-49 years), who were admitted to family health centers. The data were collected between July and August 2023 using eHealth Literacy Scale and the Cervical Cancer and Human Papillomavirus Awareness Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to explore the predictors of cervical cancer and human papillomavirus awareness. In this study, the mean score of women's knowledge about cervical cancer and human papillomavirus was found to be low (4.54 ± 3.94), and the mean score of threat perception was found to be moderate (45.60 ± 6.54). eHealth literacy was found to be a predictor of women's knowledge about cervical cancer and human papillomavirus and threat perception. This result suggests that eHealth literacy should be considered for interventions to increase knowledge and awareness of women about cervical cancer and human papillomavirus. © © 2025 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Although regular assessments with valid tools are crucial, no suitable measurement exists for the Turkish population. This study evaluates the reliability, validity, and interpretability of the Turkish version of the Fluid Intake Appraisal Inventory.MethodsThis cross-sectional study collected data from December 2021 to November 2022. It analyzed reliability, validity, and interpretability.ResultsThe 202 adults receiving hemodialysis were evaluated. The scale showed high internal consistency with Cronbach alpha = 0.954 and good test-retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficients = 0.975, 95% confidence interval: 0.786-0.992, and no measurement error. It demonstrated excellent content validity with scale level content validity index >= 0.90 and good construct validity with a negative moderate correlation to interdialytic weight gain. For structural validity, the model fit indices were chi 2/df = 5.7, root mean square error of approximation = 0.15, goodness of fit indexes = 0.58, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.57, comparative fit index = 0.6, and standardized root mean square residual = 0.10.ConclusionThis inventory is a valid and reliable tool for assessing self-efficacy in fluid intake among the Turkish hemodialysis population.Article Knee Osteoarthritis Emotional Meaning Scale Development Study(Wiley, 2025-02-27) Azak, Arife; Platin, NurgunBackground: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, long-term disease with both physical and psychosocial consequences. In determining the treatment programs of patients diagnosed with knee OA and ensuring compliance with treatment, it is important to understand the emotional attitudes and experiences of patients regarding the physical and psychosocial effects of the disease. This study aimed to create a scale for evaluating the emotional attitudes of patients with knee OA as they manage and cope with the condition. Methods: The research was a validity and reliability study designed using methodological methods. Study data were collected from the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation at a university hospital in Turkey between November and December 2024. The study sample included 90 patients diagnosed with knee OA. To establish the validity of the scale, content validity and construct validity were assessed. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, item-total score correlations, and the Hotelling T2 test. The test-retest method was applied to determine the scale's stability over time. Results: The content validity index (CVI) values for the draft form of the scale ranged between 0.91 and 1.00. The exploratory factor analysis indicated that the scale consisted of a single factor, which explained 41.62% of the total variance. The scale demonstrated strong reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86, item-total correlations ranging from 0.36 to 0.73, and a significant Hotelling T2 value (P < 0.001). Test-retest analysis indicated a positive and highly significant correlation for the overall scale (r = 0.964, P < 0.001). Conclusion: The knee osteoarthritis emotional meaning scale (KOEMS) was demonstrated to be a valid and reliable instrument for this patient sample.Article Examining the Role of Type D Personality Traits in Predicting Depression and Anxiety Symptoms in Women in the Postpartum Period(Turkish Association of Nervous and Mental Health, 2025) Cunkus Koktas, Nesrin; Tasdemir, GulayObjective: This study aimed to examine the role of type D personality traits in predicting depression and anxiety symptoms in women in the postpartum period. Method: The study is correlational and case-controlled. The sample consisted of 319 women in the postpartum period living in a province in western Türkiye. Type D Personality Scale (DS14), Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were administered. Data were collected via Google Forms between January and February 2022. Results: 62.4% of women in the postpartum period had type D personality characteristics. Postpartum depression and state-trait anxiety levels of women with type D personality were significantly higher (p<0.05). Additionally, the negative affect subscale of the Type D Personality Scale was the most significantly associated variable with postpartum depression (β=0.548, p<0.05) and state-trait anxiety (β=0.709, p<05). Conclusion: Personality traits can play an important role in the emergence of depression, anxiety and stress. Improving the coping and interpersonal skills of women with type D personality traits can help them to manage pregnancy, birth and motherhood related mental problems. © 2025 Turkish Journal of Psychiatry.Article Examining the Role of System Acceptance and Community Feeling in Predicting Nursing Students Online Learning Satisfaction(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024-12-06) Koktas, Nesrin Cunkus; Keskin, Gulseren; Tasdemir, GulayOnline learning has transitioned from being optional to a mandatory experience in nursing education. Consequently, it is crucial to understand nursing students' satisfaction and the factors influencing it to create and implement a successful online learning environment. This study aimed to examine the roles of system acceptance and community feeling in predicting nursing students' online learning satisfaction. The sample of the relational and cross-sectional study consisted of 451 nursing students studying online in the two universities in Western Turkey. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Online Learning Systems Acceptance, Community Feeling Scale, and Satisfaction Scale. A positive correlation was found between the perceived ease and benefit variables and satisfaction levels of nursing students in the study within the scope of online learning systems acceptance. A positive correlation was found between the actional and affective components of community feeling and satisfaction levels of nursing students in the study. Besides, the affective component was found to be the most significant factor in explaining satisfaction with online learning. The learning environment can be improved by increasing the diversity and interaction of nursing students with methods or instruments such as online collaborative learning approaches and online community building.
