Öğe An Investigation of Pain Beliefs, Pain Coping, and Spiritual Well-Being in Surgical Patients(Springer, 2022) Gulnar, Emel; Ozveren, Husna; Tuzer, Hilal; Yilmazer, TubaThis study investigated pain beliefs, pain coping, and spiritual well-being in surgical patients. The study adopted a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational research design. The sample consisted of 213 voluntary patients admitted to a surgery clinic between April and November 2019. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale-12 item (FACIT-Sp-12), the Pain Beliefs Questionnaire (PBQ), and the Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ). Number, percentage, mean, and Spearman's correlation were used for analysis. Participants had a total FACIT-Sp-12 score of 25.99 +/- 8.43. They had a mean PBQ organic beliefs and psychological beliefs subscale score of 4.44 +/- 0.64 and 4.96 +/- 0.68, respectively. They had a mean PCQ self-management, helplessness, conscious coping attempts, and medical remedies subscale score of 15.83 +/- 6.15, 9.41 +/- 4.63, 8.72 +/- 3.66, and 7.46 +/- 5.33, respectively. Spiritual well-being was weakly and positively (r = 0.445, p < 0.000) correlated with self-management and moderately and negatively correlated (r = - 0.528, p < 0.000) with helplessness. Participants with higher organic and psychological beliefs had lower spiritual well-being. The results indicate that nurses should evaluate both pain and spiritual well-being in patients.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 Spiritual Care Competence of Nurses(Slack Inc, 2022) Akca, Selen Ozakar; Gulnar, Emel; Ozveren, HusnaBackground. Health care has become more patient centered, and spiritual care has become more critical during the past several decades because researchers have identified associations between met spiritual needs and positive health outcomes. This study investigated nurses' spiritual care competence. Method. A cross-sectional, descriptive research design was used. The study sample consisted of 201 nurses of a training and research hospital. Data were collected using a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire and the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS). Results. The participants had a mean age of 27.62 +/- 5.28 years. They had a mean SCCS score of 3.88 +/- 0.50. Three factors affected participants' spiritual care competence. First, head nurses had a higher mean SCCS score than nurses (4.16 +/- 0.26 vs. 3.87 +/- 0.50). Second, participants who met patients' spiritual care needs had a higher mean SCCS score than those who could not (4.02 +/- 0.54 vs. 3.09 +/- 1.12). Third, participants who could diagnose patients for spiritual care had a higher mean SCCS score than those who could not (p<.05). Conclusion. These nurses had above-average spiritual care competence. Universities and health care institutions should provide nurses with training to help them develop spiritual care competence.Öğe Spiritual Care Needs of Patients with Urinary Incontinence and Affecting Factors: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study in Turkey(Springer, 2022) Ozveren, Husna; Karabey, Tuba; Gulnar, EmelThis study was conducted to determine the spiritual care needs of patients with urinary incontinence and various influencing factors. Determining the spiritual care needs of individuals with urinary incontinence may make patients feel more hopeful, peaceful, and stronger. It can also encourage individuals towards positive health behaviors, and can help nurses in choosing appropriate coping methods. A descriptive and cross sectional study was conducted with 220 patients with urinary incontinence who applied to the urology outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Turkey. In the study, data were collected using the descriptive features form, the incontinence severity index, and the Spiritual Care Needs Inventory. Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate the data. This study is reported following the STROBE recommendations. In this study, mean scores of the patients' spiritual care needs scale and the severity of incontinence, age, gender, and the effect of urinary incontinence on daily life, determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the state of being disturbed by urinary incontinence, the state of performing religious rituals regularly, the state of incontinence affecting religious rituals, the importance of religious beliefs in daily life, and the level of defining spirituality (p < 0.05). In this study, it was determined that the spiritual care need scores of the patients with urinary incontinence were above the medium level, and the sub-dimension scores of meaning and hope, caring, and respect were high. In this context, it is very important to consider the spiritual care needs of patients with urinary incontinence problems.Öğe The effect of a stress management program on first-year nursing students' clinical stress: A randomized controlled experimental study(Churchill Livingstone, 2024) Gulnar, Emel; Asik, Elif; Ozveren, HusnaBackground: Clinical clerkships lie at the core of nursing education and are crucial for developing professional skills. However, nursing students, especially freshmen, often encounter significant stress during their clinical experiences. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of a stress management program on first-year nursing students' clinical stress levels. Design: This randomized controlled experimental study adopted a pretest-posttest-follow-up test research design. Settings and participants: Participants were recruited using simple randomization.

The data were collected pretest and posttest the intervention and two months follow-up test. The data were analyzed using the two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The changes in the Perceived Stress Scale mean scores, group*time interaction, were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The results showed that the changes in the Coping Behavior Inventory problem-solving subscale mean scores, group*time interaction, were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The multiple comparisons showed a statistically significant difference in posttest Physio-Psycho-Social Response Scale social behavioral symptoms and emotional symptoms subscale scores between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05). The multiple comparisons showed a statistically significant difference in posttest Coping Behavior Inventory problem-solving and avoidance subscale scores between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The stress management program helps first-year nursing students experience less stress and develop problem-solving skills before they perform clinical clerkships. It also allows them to suffer from fewer emotional and social behavioral symptoms and exhibit fewer avoidance behaviors.Öğe The Enhancing of Nurses' and Midwives' Competence in Providing Spiritual Care through Innovative Education and Compassionate Care using the Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool: Turkish Version(Springer, 2024) Karabey, Tuba; Ozveren, Husna; Gulnar, Emel; Gulturk, EsraSpiritual care is an important part of holistic care and is at the center of nursing/midwifery care. Nurses/midwives are expected to graduate by receiving adequate training in spiritual care and gaining spiritual care competence during their student days. It is important to evaluate the spiritual care competencies of nursing/midwifery students and to correct the deficiencies, if any. Therefore, a self-assessment tool is needed to increase awareness and knowledge and improve skills and attitudes in the field of spirituality and pastoral care. One of these tools is EPICC (Enhancing Nurses' and Midwives' Competence in Providing Spiritual Care through Innovative Education and Compassionate Care). This EPICC Spiritual Care Education Standard describes the spiritual care competencies expected from undergraduate nursing and midwifery students. For every competence, the learning outcomes are described in aspects of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This research was conducted with a methodological design to ensure that the Turkish version of the EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool can be used as a reliable and valid measurement tool in nursing research in Turkey. Methodological and cross-sectional research design was used in the research method. The research was carried out with 300 nursing and midwifery students in Turkey. Data were collected using the personal information form and the EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool. The results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the four-factor structure of the scale. Cronbach's alpha, item-total correlation, test-retest analysis, and equivalent form analysis showed high reliability. EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool For Student Nurses And Midwives: Turkish Validity And Reliability Study consists of 24 items on a five-point Likert-type scale. The Turkish version of the EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the Spiritual Care Competencies of nursing and midwifery students. Evaluating the Spiritual Care Competencies of nursing and midwifery students is an important issue, it is now possible in Turkey with this scale given its validity and reliability.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.
