    Investigating Older Adults Technology Attitudes: Psychometric Evaluation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Techph Scale
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2025) Ozgul, Ecem; Doner, Nedime Hazal; Curuk, Gulsum Nihal
    This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the TechPH scale (TechPH-T) among older adults. A descriptive, methodological, and cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected between February and April 2025 using a sociodemographic information form and the TechPH-T scale. The validity of the scale was evaluated through psycholinguistic analysis, content validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, item-total correlations, and test-retest reliability. The TechPH-T demonstrated excellent content validity, with a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 1.00, and showed adequate sensitivity. In the factor analyses, all factor loadings exceeded 0.30. CFA results indicated a good model fit (chi 2/df = 3.720, CFI = 0.924, IFI = 0.926, GFI = 0.955, RMR < 0.01, and 90 % confidence interval of RMSEA = 0.071). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the overall scale was 0.702. These findings suggest that the TechPH-T is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing technology attitudes among older adults in Turkey.

    Examination of the Anxiety Level in Patients Undergoing Transesophageal Echocardiography
    (Wiley, 2016) Çürük, Gülsüm Nihal; Kartin, Pinar Tekinsoy; Kacmaz, Hatice Yuceler
    Background: The aim of this study was to determine the levels of anxiety in patients with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods: The research was carried out at a university's Heart Hospital, echocardiography laboratory between the dates of January-October 2014. Data were collected with Patient Identification Form, State and Trait Anxiety Inventory. The level of state and trait anxiety was measured by Spielberger's State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Signed forms of consent for the study were obtained from patients after the ethics committee approval. Descriptive statistics, t test, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for statistical data analysis. Results: The study included 102 patients who were admitted to the cardiology department for TEE. The mean age of the patients was 44.12+/-16.86 years and 52.9% were men. About 46.5% of them graduated from primary school, 74.5% were married, and 52.0% has moderate income. Approximately half the patients reported that they had received information for TEE. State anxiety scores of patients ranged from 31 to 66 (mean+/-SD; 46.7+/-8.7), and their trait anxiety scores ranged from 28 to 52 (mean+/-SD; 44.4+/-4.3). Low educational level, female gender, and hospitalized patients' state anxiety point were very high and statistically significant. Conclusion: Anxiety level should be determined in this patients, and appropriate nursing care should be done for high anxiety score patients.

    Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Readiness To Encounter Partner Abuse Patients Scale
    (Wiley, 2022) Curuk, Gulsum Nihal; Ozgul, Ecem; Alkanat, Hafize Ozdemir
    Aim Partner abuse is a global public health issue with both short- and long-term health effects. Healthcare professionals frequently encounter patients who experience partner abuse and should be knowledgeable about how to respond to these individuals. The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of The Readiness to Encounter Partner Abuse Patients (READI) Scale. Design A descriptive, methodological and cross-sectional design was used. Methods Data were collected with a sociodemographics form and the READI-T Scale between 13 December 2021 and 5 January 2022. The study sample comprised nursing students (n = 323) at or over the age of 18 years and accepting to take part in the study. The linguistic and content validity and confirmatory factor analysis were used to assess the validity of the scale. The reliability of the scale was achieved using Cronbach's alpha, item-total correlations and test-retest. Results The READI-T Scale had a content validity index of 0.99 and adequate sensitivity. The factor loadings ranged from 0.63 to 0.84 for the self-efficacy sub-dimension, from 0.82 to 0.91 for the emotional readiness sub-dimension, from 0.47 to 0.81 for the motivational readiness sub-dimension and from 0.28 to 0.64 for the partner abuse knowledge sub-dimension. The CFA showed that the model had a good fit (x(2)/df = 1.792; GFI = 0.88; CFI = 0.94; RMSEA = 0.050). Cronbach's alpha was found to be 0.92 for the scale. Conclusion The READI-T Scale is a valid and reliable tool to determine whether Turkish nursing students are knowledgeable enough to encounter partner abuse patients. Impact This scale can be used to determine the training needs of healthcare professionals on partner abuse and may be useful as a pre-and posttest to determine the effects of partner abuse education programs. Thus, this scale may also assist early identification of persons who have a risk for partner abuse.

    Effect of Ice Bag Application To Femoral Region on Pain in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2017) Bayindir, Sevda Korkut; Curuk, Gulsum Nihal; Oguzhan, Abdurrahman
    Aims. The aim of this study is to determine the pain reduction effectiveness of ice bag applications to the femoral region in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Material and Methods. A randomized controlled trial with repeated measures and two-group design. The study was completed with a total of 104 patients who met the inclusion criteria: 52 each in the experimental group and the control group. The pain experienced by the patients was evaluated before and during removal and again while the nurse applied pressure on the catheter site after removal. The NRS scores were identified as NRS1, NRS2, and NRS3 for the three assessment, respectively. Results. The NRS1 score was similar between the two groups. It increased at the 2nd measurement, and a statistically significant difference was determined between the two groups (4.0 (3.0-4.0) in the experimental group and 6.0 (4.0-7.0) in the control group) (p < 0.001). Conclusions. The results of the study revealed that ice bag application to femoral region was effective in reducing pain induced by femoral catheter removal in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Local ice bag application may therefore be recommended as a nursing intervention for pain control in such cases.

    The Effect of Aromatherapy on Elderly Persons With Dry Skin a Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2021) Karadag, Songul; Akca, Nazan Kilic; Curuk, Gulsum Nihal; Kaplan, Ali
    Dry skin, which is one of the most frequent dermatological problems seen in the elderly population, is an important problem that increases with aging. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental trial to determine the effect of aromatherapy, applied to elderly persons residing in a nursing home in a city center, on dry skin. Elderly persons were grouped into a control group (20 elderly persons), an olive oil group (20 elderly persons), and an aromatherapy group (20 elderly persons). When examining between-measurements differences of the groups in the study, skin moisture levels of the elderly individuals in the aromatherapy group increased in all zones, arm, leg, back, and chest, at measurements of the second and fourth weeks compared with the first measurements. This improvement was determined to be higher after the second week. Skin moisture levels of elderly persons in the olive oil group were determined to significantly increase at the arm zone in the fourth week and at the back zone in the second and fourth weeks compared with the first measurements. Skin moisture levels of elderly persons in the control group, on the contrary, did not change in the second and fourth weeks compared with the first measurements and their dry skin continued at the same level. The intervention performed in this manner in the present study can be used in the clinical practice as an effective nursing intervention to reducing dry skin among elderly persons.

    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2024) Bar, Serap; Çürük, Gülsüm Nihal; Krayurt, Özgül
    Bu çalışma, stoması olan ve olmayan kolorektal kanser hastalarında beden imajı, cinsel doyum ve eş desteğinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve karşılaştırmalı tipte olan çalışmanın örneklemini stoması olan 37 ve stoması olmayan 37 olmak üzere toplam 74 kolorektal kanser hastası oluşturmuştur. Veriler Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu, Hopwood Beden İmajı Skalası, Glombok Rust Cinsel Doyum Ölçeği ve Eş Desteği Ölçeği kullanılarak araştırmacı tarafından yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde ki-kare analizi, t testi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, stoması olan ve olmayan kolorektal kanser hastalarının beden imajı puan ortalaması sırasıyla; 24,49±2,51 ve 20,54±6,74; kadın hastalarda cinsel doyum puan ortalaması sırasıyla 8,35±0,61 ve 8,33±0,69; erkek hastalarda sırasıyla 8,20±0,62 ve 8,26±0,81; eş desteği puan ortalaması ise sırasıyla 60,46±3,35 ve 60,59±2,42 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Stoması olan kolorektal kanser hastalarının beden imajı algısının istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı düzeyde kötü olduğu saptanmıştır. Stoması olan kolorektal kanserli hastalarda yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, medeni durum ve birlikte yaşanılan kişilerin beden imajını etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Stoması olsun ya da olmasın kolorektal kanserli hastaların cinsel doyum düzeyleri düşük, eş destekleri ise yüksek olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, stoma varlığı beden imajını olumsuz yönde etkilerken, cinsel doyum ve eş desteği üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye yol açmamıştır.

    Complementary and Alternative Medicine Methods Used by Older Adults During the Covid-19 Pandemic
    (NLM (Medline), 2023) Çürük, Gülsüm Nihal; Karadağ, S.; Özgül, Ecem
    This study sought to determine complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods used by older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample for this descriptive study comprised 415 adults older than 65 years who completed an online questionnaire between August and October 2020. The study used descriptive statistical methods and a χ2 test for the statistical analysis of data. In the study, 55.4% of participants had used one or more CAM methods during the pandemic. The most frequently used methods were vitamin and mineral supplements (48.5%) and herbal products (37.2%). The study determined that 43.1% of participants did not inform their health care professionals of the method they had used. It is possible that the use of CAM methods by older adults during the pandemic and the decrease in the frequency of seeking care at health care institutions could complicate the management of health problems related to the use of CAMs. Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
