Öğe An evaluation of the effectiveness of a planned training program for nurses on administering intramuscular injections into the ventrogluteal site(Churchill Livingstone, 2016) Gulnar, Emel; Ozveren, HusnaBackground: Nurses commonly use the dorsogluteal area for administering intramuscular injections. Since the dorsogluteal area has the potential of leading to serious complications, the ventrogluteal area is recommended as the best alternative. Objective: This study was carried out to determine the level of knowledge nurses have about the ventrogluteal site and the effects of the training provided in this context. Method and design: The study was of quasi-experimental design with a single group based on a pre-test/post-test time sequence and was conducted with 81 nurses who consented to participate in the research at a University Hospital. Data in the research were collected with a questionnaire on the identifying features of the nurses and a questionnaire that contained statements about the ventrogluteal area. Results: The results of the study revealed that before the training, 76.5% of the nurses most commonly used the dorsogluteal area and 7.4% the ventrogluteal region. Four months after the training, however, it was found that the rate of nurses using the dorsogluteal area had fallen (48.1%) while the rate of using the ventrogluteal site rose (34.6%). It was seen that there was a significant difference between the nurses' pre-training and post-training knowledge scores and their scores four months after the training. Conclusion: It was concluded that the training offered the nurses about the ventrogluteal area had a positive impact on their knowledge and practices and that the nurses came away from the training with raised awareness about the subject and in increased level of knowledge.

A cross-sectional descriptive design was used to analyze a total of 104 patients at a university hospital in Turkey. The data were collected using the Spiritual Care Needs Scale. The mean age of the patients participating in the study was 61.0 (10.2). It was determined that 31.7% of the patients stated that the concepts of spirituality and spiritual care are related to religion and worship. As a result, it was found that the patients receiving chemotherapy had high-spiritual care needs. The dimensions in which the spiritual needs of the patients were remarkably high were belief and spiritual practices, being in peace and security, the love and support of their relatives and being informed about health. The spiritual care need score of the patients increased significantly with marital status (p = 0.001), having children (p = 0.002), having a chronic disease (p = 0.04) and having an undergraduate/graduate level education (p = 0.01). Nurses should be aware of patient's spiritual needs, plan patient-specific spiritual care practices, conduct more studies on the effects of spiritual care on the patient and family and create guidelines for spiritual care practices in patients receiving chemotherapy in Turkey.Öğe The impact of forensic nursing course on students' knowledge level on forensic evidence(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Ozden, Dilek; Ozveren, Husna; Yilmaz, IlkinThe study is designed as quasi experimental including pre-test and post-test. The sample of the study is consisted of 98 students who are taking the Forensic Nursing course in the second year of the School of Nursing at a university. The mean score obtained from the test on the knowledge of forensic evidence before the training was 23.63 +/- 5.24 while the mean score after the training was 33.32 +/- 4.54. A statistically significant difference was found when the average scores of the students were compared before and after the course of forensic nursing. It was revealed that the course of forensic nursing taken by the students has a positive effect on the knowledge of forensic evidence of students and increases their knowledge level. The results suggest to add a course of forensic nursing as an elective or mandatory course to the curriculum of nursing programs and disseminate the postgraduate education on forensic nursing.Öğe Investigation of Nursing Students' Attitudes Towards Death and Their Perceptions of Spirituality and Spiritual Care(SPRINGER, 2020) Tuzer, Hilal; Kirca, Kamile; Ozveren, HusnaNurses are responsible for meeting the care needs of dying patients and their families, including their physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual assessment and care. The aim of this descriptive study was to investigate nursing students' attitudes towards death and their perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care. The study sample consisted of 237 second-, third- and fourth-grade nursing students. Data were collected using a "Personal Information Form", the "Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS)" and "Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R)". Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation and Spearman's correlation analysis were used for analysis. Participants stated that they had witnessed death before (73.8%), that spiritual care of dying patients and their families should be given special importance (93.7%) and that they feel incompetent in providing spiritual care (86.1%). Participants had a mean SSCRS score of 3.45 +/- 0.43. They had the highest and lowest scores on the DAP-R subscales of "fear of death" (4.48 +/- 0.83) and neutral acceptance (3.71 +/- 1.21), respectively, indicating that they have a high fear of death and above average perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care. It is recommended that different teaching methods be integrated into the curriculum to help nursing students develop more positive attitudes towards death and improve their perceptions of spiritual care.Öğe The relationship between moral sensitivity and medical errors attitude in nursing students(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020) Gulnar, Emel; Ozveren, Husna; Ozden, DilekThe aim of this descriptive and correlational study was to determine the relationship between nursing students' moral sensitivity and attitudes towards medical errors. The study sample consisted of 309 fourth graders of the school of nursing of a university. Data were collected using a Descriptive characteristics form, the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ) and the Medical Errors Attitude Scale (MEAS). Participants had a mean MSQ and MEAS score of 91.31 +/- 21.29 and 3.77 +/- 0.44, respectively. There was a negative correlation between MEAS and MSQ scores, indicating that the higher the moral sensitivity, the higher the participants' awareness of medical errors and error reporting. It is, therefore, recommended that students be offered moral education based on different teaching methods to help them develop positive attitudes towards medical errors.Öğe Turkish Nurses' Attitudes and Practices Regarding Oral Care(Wiley, 2015) Ozveren, Husna; Ozden, DilekPurpose: This study was conducted to determine the attitudes and practices of nurses working in intensive care units of four different hospitals regarding oral care. Methods: One hundred eighty-five nurses who worked in adult intensive care units comprised the sample of this cross-sectional descriptive study. Conclusion: It can be said that intensive care nurses perform oral care without an oral care protocol and assessment guideline, and that the methods and frequency of oral care and solutions and tools used for oral care differ from one institution to another. Implications for Nursing Practice: The results emphasized the need for continuing training in this area.
