Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5The Effects of Playing Digital Games on Children's Pain, Fear, and Anxiety Levels During Suturing: a Randomized Controlled Study(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023-07) Kavlakcı, Muhammet; Öğce, Filiz; Yavan, TulayOBJECTIVE: The aim was to determine the effects of digital game play on children's pain, fear, and anxiety levels during suturing. METHODS: Data were obtained from 84 children between the ages of 8 and 17 years at the pediatric emergency department between January 16 and March 19, 2020, using the Socio-Demographic and Clinical Characteristics Form, the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Fear of Medical Procedures Scale (FMPS), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH). A four-block randomization system was used. The study group (n = 42) played digital games during the suturing procedure, unlike the control group (n = 42). Ethical permissions were obtained from the ethical committee, hospital, and families. RESULTS: Before the suturing procedure, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups' mean scores. The intervention group was found to have statistically significantly lower WBFPS and VAS pain scores than the control group during the suturing procedure, and after the procedure, statistically significantly lower WBFPS, VAS, FMPS, and STAI-CH mean scores than the control group. CONCLUSIONS: The digital game-playing approach applied before and during the suture procedure was found to be effective in reducing children's pain, fear, and anxiety levels.Article Factors Affecting Adherence of Recipients To Immunosuppressive Therapy After Liver and Kidney Transplantation(2023-03-13) Tatoğlu, Nurşah; Karayurt, Özgül; Öğce, FilizBackground: Organ transplantation has important outcomes: decreased mortality, increased graft survival, reduced morbidity, and improved quality of life. One of the most important preventable factors that negatively affect these outcomes and put the success of solid organ transplants at risk in organ transplant recipients is non-adherence to immunosup pressive treatment. Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the adherence of recipients to immunosuppres sive therapy after liver and kidney transplantation and affecting factors. Methods: This is a descriptive study. A total of 310 patients who underwent liver or kidney transplantation at a university hospital between February and July 2015 were included in the study. Data were collected with Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristic Form, SF-36 Quality of Life Scale, and Immunosuppressant Therapy Adherence Scale. The Mann–Whitney U test, Fisher’s exact test, and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Factors affecting adherence were examined by univariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The edits made to the sentence ‘Immunosuppressive Therapy Adherence Scale scores of the recipients ranged between 7 and 12 with a mean of 11.34 ± 0.81 and recipients who had Immunosuppressive Therapy Adherence Scale scores of <12 were considered non adherent. Age, time elapsing after transplantation, total number of drugs used, education on drug use, and the quality of life mental component summary score were found to affect adher ence to immunosuppressive therapy. Gender, educational status, marital status, employment status, donor and organ transplant type, and the quality of life physical component summary score were found to be ineffective in adherence to immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusion: Organ transplant recipients adherent to immunosuppressive therapy were found to be older, use a higher number of drugs, and have a higher mental health summary scores than those not adherent to the immunosuppressive therapy. Besides, a higher rate of the recipients adherent to immunosuppressive therapy was found to receive education on medication use and have a shorter time elapsing after transplantation. It can be recom mended that nurses should be aware of the factors likely to affect adherence to immuno suppressive therapy, evaluate the adherence regularly by using a valid and reliable tool, and perform effective interventions.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 17Evaluation of Illness Perception of Women With Breast Cancer in Turkey(Aves, 2019-04-04) Karabulutlu, Elanur Yilmaz; Avci, Iliknur Aydin; Karayurt, Orgul; Gursoy, Ayla; Kosgeroglu, Nedime; Tuna, Arzu; Ersin, Fatma; Karaman, SedaObjective: The aim of this study is to examine the illness perceptions of women with breast cancer and possible relationships between these perceptions and descriptive characteristics such as sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in Turkey. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in compliance with correlational, descriptive research principles. Three hundred eighty women with breast cancer who were treated in various hospitals in seven regions of the country were included in the study. A sociodemographic and clinical characteristics form, and The Illness Perception Questionnaire were used for data collection. Results: The mean age of the patients with breast cancer was 49.8 +/- 11.5, among them, 83.95% were married, 37.37% were at stage 2 breast cancer, and 67.11% experienced mastectomy. It was found that the patients perceived higher personal control over illness (20.88 +/- 4.76). The patients perceived most common risk factors as the cause of the illness (19.42 +/- 6.38). This study show that variety sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients affected their perceptions of illness. Conclusion: The meaning of illness from the perspective of patient with breast cancer should be assessed. The care, education and counselling programs should be planned according to the patient's illness perceptions.Article Citation - WoS: 4Validitiy and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Cultural Competence Assessment Tool N Nursing Students(Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2022-06-30) Digrak, Ebru; Tezer, Ayfer; Tezel, AyferObjective: Increased cultural diversity in society like Turkey is becoming increasingly important to give a holistic nursing care to meet cultural requirements.

Methods: A total of 400 nursing students were included in the methodological study in Ankara, Turkey. In the validity study of the CCATool were performed language validity, content validity, construct validity, tool response bias and in the reliability study were performed test-retest reliability and internal consistency analysis. Results: In the content validity analysis the Item Content Validity Index was .91 and the Scale Content Validity Index was .90. The tool Cronbach's a value is .876 and the Cronbach's a values of the sections vary between .706-.821. The scale was determined there is a statistically positive relationship between test-repeat test score averages of the scale. Conclusions: The results showed that CCATool adapted to Turkish is a valid and reliable scale in determining the cultural competence level of nursing students.Article Citation - WoS: 2Living With a Foreign Organ: Counselling Needs of Living Liver Transplant Recipients(Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2018-03-31) Iseri, Ozge Pekin; Karayurt, Ozgul; Yilmaz, SezaiPurpose: Liver transplantation can be a lifesaving option for people with acute/chronic liver failure. Although liver transplantation has positive outcomes, the recipients experience many physical, psychological and social problems. It is of great importance to satisfy their needs for counselling so that they can overcome these problems. The aim of the study was to describe the counselling needs of living liver transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: A descriptive qualitative research design was used. The study was conducted between November 2012 and December 2012. In-depth interviews were performed with sixteen participants who had experiences of living liver transplantation. Data were analyzed with inductive content analysis. Results: The liver transplant recipients' counselling needs were categorized into two main themes: pretransplantation period counselling needs'' and posttransplant period counselling needs''. Subthemes were also identified and described. The first main theme had three subthemes (causes and symptoms of liver failure, treatment process, living donors) and the second main theme had four subthemes (medications used, possible complications, sexuality and body image and life after transplantation). Conclusions: The results indicate that the living liver transplant recipients' currently have insufficient knowledge about transplantation periods and they need counselling.
