Öğe The development of the postpartum mobile support application and the effect of the application on mothers' anxiety and depression symptoms(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2021) Kocak, Vesile; Ege, Emel; Iyisoy, Mehmet SinanObjective: The study aimed to develop the postpartum mobile support application to support postpartum mothers and to examine the effects of the use of mobile app on mothers' anxiety level and depression symptoms. Research design/setting: It is a parallel group pretest-posttest randomized controlled study carried out between July 2017 and February 2020. The mothers (62 in the experiment and 62 in the control group) who gave birth in full-term at a university hospital in Konya province in Turkey and who had healthy newborns constituted the study group. Data were collected using the Information Form, the STAI State and Continuity Anxiety Scale, and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Mixed pattern variance analysis (mixed anova), t test in dependent groups, t test and chi square analysis in independent groups were used to analyze the data. Findings: Most of the mothers who used the application fed their baby only with breast milk and felt more sufficient about breastfeeding. The depression symptoms of mothers using the postpartum mobile support application was lower than that of the mothers in the control group; however, it was found that the application was not adequate alone to decrease anxiety levels and depression symptoms (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The postpartum mobile support application is an important and useful source in accessing reliable information; however, it was found to be insufficient to lower anxiety levels and prevent depression symptoms at the end of the six-week postpartum period.Öğe The Evaluation of the Validity and Reliability of the Breast Cancer Awareness Scale (for Turkish Women)(Kare Publ, 2021) Altuntug, Kamile; Kocak, Vesile; Ege, EmelOBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Breast Cancer Awareness Scale (B-CAS) in Turkish. METHODS This study is a methodological study. The validity and reliability of the B-CAS were evaluated. RESULTS The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was found to be 0.76, while the Bartlett's test results were found to be X-2=6411.088, and both test results were found to be at p=0.00 significance level. As a result of the analyses, a five-factor structure that explains 57.85% of the variance and has factor loadings ranging from 0.63 to 0.82 was obtained. It was found that the sub-dimensions of the scale have a good internal consistency. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients of the sub-dimensions of the scale were found as 0.87 for Knowledge of Risk Factors, 0.88 for Knowledge of Signs and Symptoms, 0.81 for Attitude to Breast Cancer Prevention, 0.78 for Barriers of Breast Screening, and 0.61 for Health Behavior related to Breast Cancer Awareness. CONCLUSION The analyses revealed that the B-CAS is a valid and reliable tool. The Turkish version of the 29 item B-CAS can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool.Öğe Female genital self-image and body appreciation in Turkish women: a mixed methods study(Springer Wien, 2023) Kocak, Vesile; Aksoy, Yasemin ErkalThe study investigated negative genital self-image in women and determined the effect of education on natural/normal female genital appearance diversity on the change in women's genital self-image. The type of research is a mixed method descriptive study. The participants were 259 women living in Turkey. In the first stage of the study, female genital self-image levels and body appreciation levels were evaluated. In the second stage of the study, women were interviewed thoroughly about negative female genital self-image, and then, visual education presentation was made on natural/normal female genital diversity. One week after the presentation, the women's genital self-image levels were re-evaluated. In the first phase of the study, the mean Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS) total score was 22.07 +/- 4.07 and the mean Body Appreciation Scale (BAS) total score was 42.40 +/- 8.13 of the women. Higher FGSIS and BAS scores showed an increase in women's positive genital self-image and body appreciation. The relationship between the FGSIS and the BAS scale scores of the women was found to be significantly correlated (r = 0.401, p < 0.001). In the second stage of the study, four main themes were examined as positive thoughts, size and image, metaphors related to genital organs, and negative thoughts. In conclusion, in the first phase, it was determined that women's feeling of discomfort with their sexual organs during sexual intercourse, comparing their genital organs with other women's genital organs, thinking of genital organ aesthetic surgery, and BAS scores were associated with FGSIS scores. In the second phase, women's positive or negative feelings and thoughts about their genital self-image were revealed.Öğe Psychological effects of nurses and midwives due to COVID-19 outbreak: The case of Turkey(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2020) Aksoy, Yasemin Erkal; Kocak, VesilePurpose: The study was carried out to determine the psychological impact levels of nurses and midwives due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: The research is planned in a descriptive type. Nurses and midwives working in any health institution in Turkey constituted the population of the research. The questionnaire form of the study was shared on social media tools between 01 and 14 April 2020 and a total of 758 nurses and midwives were included in the study sample. Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale were used as data collection tools. Results: Participants who attended the study were 56.9% of nurses and 43.1% of midwives. Approximately half of the nurses and midwives (48.8%) participating in our study contacted the patient with suspected COVID-19, and 29.8% provided care to the patient diagnosed with COVID-19. Nurses and midwives were scored 52.75 +/- 9.80 for State Anxiety, 44.87 +/- 7.92 for Trait Anxiety Inventory and 35.16 +/- 9.42 for Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale. It has been determined that 54.5% of nurses and midwives have been making their lives worse since the outbreak started, 62.4% had difficulties in dealing with the uncertain situation in the outbreak, 42.6% wanted psychological support and 11.8% had alienated from their profession. It was determined that there was a difference between scale scores and difficulties in work, family and private life due to COVID-19. Conclusion: As a result, it is seen that the midwives and nurses in our country have high psychological effects due to the COVID-19 outbreak.Öğe Turkish validity and reliability study of male genital self-image scale (MGSIS)(Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Kocak, Vesile; Aksoy, Yasemin Erkal; Dugeroglu, SinemObjective: This study, which was carried out in order to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Male Genital Self-Image Scale in a population sample of Turkish men, is of methodological type. Methods: In the study, language, content, construct validity, and reliability methods were used for the intercultural adaptation of the scale. The data collection process of the scale was carried out with 336 men who applied to the Family Medicine Polyclinic of a hospital. In the language and content validity phase, the opinions of experts with technical and cultural knowledge were consulted. The data of the study were collected with the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form and the Male Genital Self-Image Scale. Results: As a result of experts evaluation, the Content Validity Ratio value was determined as 0.83. At the stage of construct validity, the suitability of the single-factor model of the items of the Male Genital Self-Image Scale was tested. It was determined that all items contributed significantly to the factor (0.62-0.92). As a result of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, the measurement model was statistically validated (chi 2 = 32.083, p = 0.001, chi 2/df =2.917, RMSEA= 0.076). The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was calculated as alpha = 0.92 in the analysis performed to evaluate the internal consistency of Male Genital Self-Image Scale. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that Male Genital Self-Image Scale is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate genital self-image in Turkish men.
