Öğe Analysis of nursing students' obsessive and coping behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic(Wiley, 2021) Bahcecioglu Turan, Gulcan; Kose, Semra; Aksoy, MeyremePurpose: This study was conducted to examine the obsessive behaviors and coping behaviors of nursing students during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Design and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between October 4 and October 17, 2020. Findings: In this study, it was found that nursing students had a mean total COVID-19 Obsessive Compulsive Scale score of 3.88 +/- 3.02 and a mean total Ways of Coping Inventory (WCI) score of 47.05 +/- 11.68. When the subscales of the WCI were examined, mean scores were found to be 13.64 +/- 4.85 for the self-confident approach, 8.91 +/- 3.35 for the optimistic approach, 7.25 +/- 2.24 for the seeking social support approach, 10.97 +/- 4.43 for the helpless approach, and 6.24 +/- 3.20 for the submissive approach. Practice Implications: Nursing students have low levels of obsession with COVID-19 and moderate levels of coping behaviors. For this reason, it is very important to recognize the psychological symptoms of today's nursing students-the health workforce of the future-and to determine priorities for their solution.Öğe The effect of anxiety on nicotine dependence among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic(Wiley, 2022) Ayran, Gulsun; Kose, Semra; Kucukoglu, Sibel; Ozdemir, Aynur AytekinPurpose This study investigated the effect of anxiety on nicotine dependence among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design and Methods This was a descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of 503 university students in Turkey. Data were collected online using a demographic characteristics form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). Findings FTND scores differed by gender, family type, and grade level, while STAI scores differed by gender, income, and region of residence (p < 0.05). Fifty-one percent of the participants had moderate anxiety, while 65.2% had low nicotine dependence. FTND and STAI mean scores were strongly correlated (p < 0.05). Practical Implications The higher the anxiety, the higher the nicotine dependence among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.Öğe The Effect of Obesogenic Environment and Socio-demographic Characteristics on Obesity Awareness Levels of Children(Bursa Uludag Univ, 2021) Sarialioglu, Arzu; Kucukoglu, Sibel; Ozdemir, Aynur Aytekin; Kose, Semra; Celebioglu, AydaIntroduction: The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of obesogenic environment and sociodemographic characteristics on children's obesity awareness levels. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study was composed of a total of 540 children studying at the 5th grade (63), 6th grade (73), and 7th grade (79) in the private school and at the 5th grade (131), 6th grade (103), and 7th grade (86) in the public school specified between the dates when the study was conducted. Descriptive Information Form, Obesogenic Environmental Evaluation Form (OEEF) and Obesity Awareness Scale (OAS) were used to collect the data. Results: It was determined that OEEF mean score was higher in children studying in the public school (10.50 +/- 2.23) than those studying in the private school (7.77 +/- 2.36) and the difference between them was significant. OAS physical activity subscale mean score was significantly higher in children studying in the public school. Conclusion: When OEEF and OAS mean scores were examined according to sociodemographic variables, it was found that there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of some variables. It was determined in the study that the children studying in the public school were affected more by the obesogenic environmental conditions and gender increased the obesity awareness level of the children. Within the scope of the fight against obesity, it is recommended to conduct consciousness-raising and awareness programs related to obesogenic environment in all educational institutions primarily in public schools.Öğe The Effects of Cartoon Assisted Endoscopy Preparation Package on Children's Fear and Anxiety Levels and Parental Satisfaction in Turkey(Elsevier Science Inc, 2020) Kose, Semra; Arikan, DuyguPurpose: The study was conducted to determine the effect of the cartoon-assisted preparation package, developed for children undergoing an endoscopy procedure, on children's fear and anxiety levels and parental satisfaction. Design and methods: The study was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental design between April 2018-July 2019. The study sample consisted of a total of 65 children and their parents (33 in the intervention group and 32 in the control group) who met the research inclusion criteria in this study population. The intervention group was prepared for an endoscopy procedure with the cartoon-assisted preparation package for endoscopy. Results: The mean fear scores of the children in the intervention group were 3.39 +/- 0.56 before endoscopy, 1.67 +/- 0.54 during endoscopy, and 0.52 +/- 0.67 after endoscopy, with statistically signi ficant difference between the mean fear scores. The mean fear scores in the control group were 3.00 +/- 0.80 before endoscopy, 3.13 +/- 0.79 during endoscopy, and 2.25 +/- 1.16 after endoscopy, with statistically signi ficant difference between the mean fear scores. The anxiety scores of the children were 33.79 +/- 4.00 in the intervention group and 36.56 +/- 3.52 in the control group before endoscopy, and the difference between anxiety scores was statistically signi ficant (p b 0.05). The mean satisfaction scores of the parents in the experimental group after endoscopy (78.44 +/- 10.01) was higher than that of the control group (73.52 +/- 12.92), but the difference between the groups was not statistically signi ficant (p N 0.05). Conclusion: The cartoon-assisted preparation package for endoscopy was found to be effective in reducing fear and anxiety that may occur in children undergoing endoscopy, in the 7-12 age group.

Their quality of life is significantly lower than mothers with healthy children. The first step in improving these women's quality of life is to improve the understanding of their experiences and coping mechanisms in specific cultural contexts. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the experiences and coping mechanisms of mothers caring for a child with cerebral palsy through a qualitative study conducted in Turkey. The study took place in 2021. Ten mothers were selected to participate through purposeful sampling. Inclusion criteria were mothers who had cared for a child with cerebral palsy for over three years, had no chronic diseases, could speak Turkish fluently, and wanted to participate in the study. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data. Two main themes and three categories emerged from the data analysis. The themes were dedication and seeking. The analysis showed that mothers were dedicated as they engaged in all aspects of care. Their coping mechanisms involved self-focused and problem-focused seeking. These mothers must be acknowledged and supported while considering cultural and religious beliefs.Öğe The Experiences of Children with Primary Immunodeficiency Who Receive Immunoglobulin Subcutaneously Instead of Intravenously(Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Kose, Semra; Sabetsarvestani, Raheleh; Geckil, Emine; Kaleci, Elanur; Donmez, HaticeBackground: Children with primary immunodeficiency disorder have begun receiving subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) instead of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). So, we aim to explore the experiences of primary immunodeficiency children with regard to receiving SCIg instead of IVIg. Method: We adopted a phenomenological approach in 2022 in Tur-key using semi-structured interviews. We recruited 15 participants using the purposive sampling method. Results: The main theme was the sweetness and bitterness of liv-ing with SCIg. The first subtheme was sweetness (sense of free-dom, having a normal life, saving time, ease of use, and feeling better). The second subtheme was bitterness (worries about taking responsibility for injection, impaired body image due to abdominal edema, and minimal tolerable complications). Discussion: The results show these children had more sweet expe-riences than bitter ones. Being flexible in choosing a method, teach-ing patients to apply it correctly, and providing enough time to cope are as reasons for this.Öğe Hand hygiene and mask-wearing behaviors and the related factors during the COVID 19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study with secondary school students in Turkey(Elsevier Science Inc, 2022) Ayran, Gulsun; Kose, Semra; Sarialioglu, Arzu; Celebioglu, AydaPurpose: The research was conducted to determine the hand hygiene and mask-wearing behaviors and related factors of secondary school students in the COVID-19 pandemic process. Design and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between March 02-April 022021 with 1284 students who continued their secondary education in a province in the east of Turkey. The data were col-lected face-to-face through the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Mask-Wearing Behavior Form, and the Hand Hygiene Behavior Form. Percentage, mean, t -test in independent groups, Mann Whitney U test and Multi-ple Regression analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Ethical principles were observed at all stages of the study. Results: It was determined that 80.1% of the students used disposable medical masks, 62.1% of their parents chose a mask suitable for the age of the student, and 52.1% used the mask they wore all day long. It was found that 41.4% of the students washed their hands before wearing a mask, and 51.9% after wearing a mask. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between students mask-wearing behavior and gender, and hand hy-giene behavior and gender, grade level, previous training on hand-washing and mask-wearing. As a result of mul-tiple regression analysis, it was found that gender and mothers occupation had a statistically significant effect on mask-wearing behavior, while gender and previous training on mask-wearing had a statistically significant effect on hand-washing behavior. Conclusions/practice implications: Students exhibited correct behaviors regarding hand hygiene and mask-wearing, but some misbehaviors suggest that training is necessary, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the current state of noise and possible solutions in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Konya, Turkey. Methods: In 2021, a descriptive exploratory study was conducted with a qualitative content analysis approach. Eighteen nurses, three physicians, seven staff members, and four mothers were selected to participate in the study via purposeful sampling. The data were collected from two semi-structured interviews, six focus groups, six observations, and sound source level measurements using a sound decibel meter. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: Three main themes and seven major categories emerged from the data analysis. The themes were overt and covert sources, pan-negative effects, and holistic modification. All recorded sound levels exceeded the recommended noise level of 45 dB. Fifty-seven percent of sound sources were in the range of 45-65 dB, and 43% were higher than 65 dB. Implications for Practice and Research: This study showed that NICU has a noisy environment with hidden sound sources that can negatively affect all people. This situation must be approached seriously by holistic modification involving environmental modification, behavioral modification, and resource management. It highlighted that each environment is unique and needs to be carefully evaluated to find a suitable and cost-effective solution.Öğe The Psychological Symptoms and Difficulties Experienced By Parents of Children with Autism(Ibn Sina Trust, 2024) Kose, Semra; Sezer, Hilal Kurt; Kucukoglu, SibelObjective: This study investigated the psychological symptoms and difficulties experienced by parents of children with autism. Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2021 and June 2022. The sample consisted of 218 parents of children aged 3-18 living in XX. The sample was divided into two: 110 parents of children with autism and 108 parents of healthy children. Results: Parents of children with autism had a mean age of 36.15 +/- 6.142, while parents of healthy children had a mean age of 36.65 +/- 7.057. More than half of the parents of children with autism stated that they worried about their children's future and had difficulty taking care of other children of theirs, making time for themselves, and maintaining daily life. On the other hand, only a quarter of the parents of healthy children stated that they worried about their children's future and had difficulty taking care of other children of theirs, making time for themselves, and maintaining daily life. Parents of children with autism had a significantly higher mean anxiety, depression and hostility subscale score than parents of healthy children (p<0.05).Conclusions: Parents of children with autism experience more difficulties and present with more symptoms of anxiety, depression, and hostility than parents of healthy children. Parents of children with special needs need to be psychologically reassured and supported.
