Methods: This study was conducted in a training and research hospital’s obstetric clinic in Turkey. Totally, 104 pregnant women admitted to the hospital during the last trimester and they were followed up to delivery, which occurred in the same hospital. Data were gathered with an Information Form, Fear of Childbirth and Postpartum Anxiety Scale (FCPAS), Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: The mean FCPAS score of the women was 4.87±1.25. The highest scores were for the FCPAS subscales of fears about breastfeeding, behavior of the health staff at childbirth, and the possibility of Cesarean section. Labor pain had a significant positive weak relation with fear about childbirth and the total STAI-State score (r=0.281, p=0.041; r=0.327, p=0.017), respectively. Conclusion: It is important to determine the fear and anxieties about childbirth and postpartum period experienced during last trimester, in terms of planning prenatal education and counseling services, and supporting women to cope effectively.Article Knowledge, Attitudes, and Opinions of Hepatitis B Virus Carrier Male Patients About the Disease(Doc Design Informatics Co Ltd, 2022-09-28) Digrak, Ebru; Tezel, AyferObjectives: The study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and opinions of male patients infected with the hepatitis B virus about their disease.

Methods: The study adopted a retrospective design. It was carried out on 208 kidney transplant recipients. The social cognitive theory was used for understanding and addressing the issues of nonadherence to immunosuppressive medication. Data were collected with a self-reported-Immunosuppressant Therapy Adherence Scale and biological assays. Descriptive analyses and logistic regression were used to analyze data. Results: According to the self-reported assessment, medication adherence of the patients receiving transplants from live donors was 0.503 times lower than that of the patients receiving transplants from deceased donors. The biological assays did not show any affecting factors in medication adherence. Conclusion: The results of the study showed the importance of combining methods to assess medication adherence. In the self-reported assessment, live donor transplantation was found to negatively affect medication adherence. Turkiye is the country with the highest number of kidney transplantations from live donors in the world. Health professionals must be more careful in assessing medication adherence after live donor transplantations.Article Citation - WoS: 3Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy(Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2021-06-30) Ozgul, Ecem; Akpinar Soylemez, Burcu; Söylemez, Burcu AkpınarIntroduction: The self-efficacy of caregivers is an important matter that merits investigation, and this requires that the concept of self-efficacy be measured with a valid, reliable instrument.

The purpose of this study was to determine the PR prevalence in adult patients at a university hospital in Turkey. Materials and Methods: An observational and cross-sectional design was carried out. Prevalence rates were computed. A total of 6698 patients in 30 units were evaluated at 10 unit visits between July-September 2018. Patient and PR information form was used. Two researchers visited the units and proceeded with data collection. The study population consisted of all patients who were present in the hospital on the day of data collection. Results: Among 6698 patients, 287 (4.3%) patients were restrained. The highest overall prevalence of 69.6% was in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU). The main reasons reported for using restraints were the prevention of pulling out medical devices (47 %). Age (p = 0.000) and units (e.g., surgical units, ICUs) (p = 0.000) were statistically significant predictors of PR. Age (p = .000) and units (p =.000) were statistically significant predictors of PR. The results show that for every additional 0.038 year in patients age, the patient becomes 1.038 times more likely to be restrained. Conclusion: In Turkey, the rate of application of PR is similar to that of world figures. Age is a very important variable in the use of PR. As they get older, their risk of being exposed to PR increases.
