Anxiety, Depression, Stress, and Self-Esteem in Turkish Parents of Children With Microtia
(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Turhan Damar, Hale; Öğce, Filiz; Ogce Aktas, Filiz
Objective To describe factors affecting anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem in parents of children with microtia. Design Cross-sectional correlational study. Participants Parents (N = 117) of children with microtia were recruited nationally through a Turkish craniofacial non-governmental organization's social media. Main Outcome Measures Demographics, parental report of microtia experiences and concerns, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Results The mean parental age was 35.61 & PLUSMN; 5.96 years and 74.4% were female. The mean age of their children was 6.08 & PLUSMN; 4.22 years, 69.2% were male, 93.8% had unilateral microtia, and 14.5% had ear reconstruction. Some parents had low self-esteem (24.8%) and were in the severe range for depression (30.7%), anxiety (25.6%), and stress (21.4%). Depression (M = 7.43, SD = 5.35) was associated with worry about child's future (& beta; = 0.25, P = .013), microtia information given around birth (& beta; = -0.20, P = .024), and child no ear surgery (& beta; = -0.23, P = .008), while stress (M = 8.21, SD = 5.37) was associated with worry about the child's future (& beta; = 0.28, P = .008). Parental self-esteem (M = 29.59, SD = 5.10) was related to child having ear surgery (& beta; = 0.19, P = .047) and information about microtia provided around birth (& beta; = 0.22, P = .018). There were no significant associations with Anxiety (M = 6.04, SD = 4.82) identified by multiple regression. Conclusions While most parents were in the average to moderate range for clinical concerns, a fifth to a third of participants were in the severe range for depression, anxiety, and stress and a quarter of participants for low self-esteem. Informing families about the microtia treatment process, having the child have surgery, and interventions for reducing their future concerns may provide psychological relief for them.

Determination the Incidence of Surgery Related Pressure Injury and To Examine the Effects of Risk Factors on Pressure Injury Formation
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Inan, Deniz; Öğce, Filiz; Yavan, Tulay; Ogce Aktas, Filiz; Aktas, Filiz Ogce
Surgical patients are at risk for pressure injuries throughout the entire surgical process. Prevalence and incidence studies are critical to determine risk groups in surgical patient groups. This study was conducted to determine the incidence of pressure injury development in patients hospitalized in surgical clinics and to examine the effects of risk factors on it. The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 138 patients hospitalized in surgical wards. Data collection tools included a patient information questionnaire, The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) Pressure Injury and Stages Form, and the Munro Perioperative Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale. Data were analyzed on the SPSS 24.0 software package by using descriptive statistical tests such as frequency and percentage distribution, chi-square test, independent groups t-test, and univariate logistic regression analysis. The incidence of surgery-related pressure injuries was found to be 18.8 %. Patients' mean scores on the Munro scale were 10.23 f0 .2.95 before surgery, 12.80 f 2.57 during surgery, and 23.03 f 5.07 following surgery, with the mean total score being 24.47 f 5.44. The mean score on the total Munro scale was statistically significantly higher in patients who developed pressure injuries than in those who did not. Patients' age, blood albumin level, body mass index, presence of oedema, use of medical equipment, mobility status, type of anaesthesia used in surgery, and duration of surgery were determined as effective risk factors in pressure injury development. In conclusion, it was found that pressure injuries developed at a considerable rate in patients undergoing surgical operations. It is recommended that surgical nurses should take the necessary precautions in time.

Investigation of Related Factors of Operating Room Nurses' Attitudes and Awareness Towards Surgery-Related Pressure Injury Prevention in Turkey, Croatia, and Italy: Surgery-Related Pressure Injury Awareness and Attitudes
(Tissue Viability Society, 2024) Celik B.; Turhan Damar H.; Savsar A.; Ferraiuolo F.; Repustic M.; Ogce Aktas F.; Repustic, Marin; Turhan Damar, Hale; Ogce Aktas, Filiz; Aktas, Filiz Ogce; Ferraiuolo, Fabio; Celik, Buket; Savsar, Adile; Damar, Hale Turhan
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine related factors of operating room nurses' attitudes and awareness towards surgery-related pressure injury prevention in Turkey, Croatia, and Italy. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional design was used. The study was conducted between March and September 2023. Data were collected with an online questionnaire created on Google Forms, consisting of a Nurse Information Form, a Surgery-related Pressure Injury Awareness Form, and the Attitude towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument. Results: The sample of the study consisted of 258 operating room nurses working in Turkey, Croatia, and Italy. It was found that the majority of the participants (70.90 %) did not use a risk scale, had not received education on pressure injury prevention and treatment (58.10 %) but wanted to receive it (86 %). Mean attitude scores of operating room nurses by country were at an adequate level in Turkey (42.48 ± 4.30) but not at the desired level in Croatia (37.48 ± 3.44) and Italy (36.20 ± 4.02). While there was a significant positive relationship between the awareness and attitudes of operating room nurses in Turkey (p = 0.002) and Croatia (p < 0.001), no relationship was found between these variables of nurses in Italy (p = 0.109). A statistically significant difference was found between nurses' consideration of themselves sufficient and their attitudes and awareness in all three countries (p < 0.05). It was also determined that reading articles affected nurses’ awareness in all countries. Conclusions: While operating room nurses’ attitudes towards preventing pressure injuries were adequate in Turkey, it was determined that those of the nurses in Croatia and Italy were not at the desired level. Nurses should receive regular training on surgical pressure injuries to increase their awareness and to support them in implementing the recommendations of pressure injury guidelines in accordance with institutional policy. © 2024 Tissue Viability Society / Society of Tissue Viability
