Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Examination of the Anxiety Level in Patients Undergoing Transesophageal Echocardiography(Wiley, 2016-09-07) Çürük, Gülsüm Nihal; Kartin, Pinar Tekinsoy; Kacmaz, Hatice YucelerBackground: 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.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Readiness To Encounter Partner Abuse Patients Scale(Wiley, 2022-06-28) Curuk, Gulsum Nihal; Ozgul, Ecem; Alkanat, Hafize OzdemirAim 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.Other İç Hastalıkları Hemşireliği Yüksek Lisans Tezlerinin Yayımlanma Durumu: Sistematik Derleme(2021-10-29) Karadağ, Songül; Curuk, Gulsum Nıhal; Özgül, EcemGiriş: Yüksek lisans tezlerinin yayına dönüştürülmesi, bilimsel bilginin paylaşılması için önem arz etmektedir.

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.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 17Effect 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, AbdurrahmanAims. 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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Investigating Older Adults Technology Attitudes: Psychometric Evaluation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Techph Scale(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2025-11) Ozgul, Ecem; Doner, Nedime Hazal; Curuk, Gulsum NihalThis 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.Article Kronik Hastalığı Olan Bireylerin Covıd-19 Pandemisinde Tamamlayıcı Alternatif Tedaviye Yönelik Tutum ve Davranışları: Tanımlayıcı Bir Araştırma(2023) Çürük, Gülsüm Nihal; Alkanat, Hafize ÖzdemirAmaç: Dünyada birçok ülkede kronik hastalıkların artmasıyla birlikte tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavi (TAT) yaklaşımlarına yönelim artmıştır. Bu çalışma, kronik hastalığı olan bireylerin pandemi sürecinde kendilerini koronavirüs hastalığı-2019’dan [coronavirus disease- 2019 (COVID-19)] korumak için TAT kullanımına ilişkin tutum ve davranışlarının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan çalışmanın örneklemini, bir üniversite hastanesinin dâhiliye polikliniklerine başvuran ve çalışma kriterlerini karşılayan 396 hasta oluşturdu. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen kişisel bilgi formu ile Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği (BTATÖ) kullanılarak toplandı. İstatistiksel analizler IBM SPSS istatistik programı ile yapıldı. İstatistiksel analiz için tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ki-kare testi, Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskall-Wallis H testi kullanıldı ve p<0,05 anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 54,9±17,3 yıl (minimum-maksimum: 19-90) ve %61,6’sı kadındı. Katılımcıların %52,3’ü COVID-19 geçirmiş ve %91,4’ü en az bir doz COVID-19 aşısı olmuştu. Hastaların %81,8’i herhangi bir TAT yöntemini kullanıyordu. Katılımcıların ortalama BTATÖ puanı 31,09±4,37 olarak bulundu. En sık kullanılan TAT yöntemleri bitkisel ürünler (%84,3), vitaminler (%84,3) ve dua etmek (%73,8) idi. Kronik hastalığı olan bireylerden COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde TAT kullananların hem BTATÖ toplam puan ortalaması hem de ölçeğin alt boyutları puan ortalamaları daha düşük olup aradaki farkın istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olduğu tespit edildi. TAT kullanan ve COVID aşısı olan bireylerin tutum puanlarında olumlu yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmada katılımcıların TAT’a yönelik tutumlarının olumlu ve orta düzeyde olduğu saptandı.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Quality of Work Life and Working Conditions Among Oncology Nurses: a National Online Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022-04-12) Donmez, Ayse Arikan; Ovayolu, Ozlem; Ovayolu, Nimet; Yilmaz, Sakine; Karayurt, Ozgul; Curuk, Gulsum Nihal; Porucu, Canan; Arıkan Dönmez, Ayşe; Yılmaz, ZeynepThe aim of this study was to examine the quality of work life (QoWL) and working conditions of oncology nurses in Turkey. The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design. The data were collected via the introductory information form and Brooks' Quality of Nursing Work Life Survey. The study was completed with 138 nurses. The factors affecting QoWL were determined using stepwise multiple linear regression. Nurses had a moderate QoWL, and age, duration of working in nursing, the number of nurses, and the working style were significantly associated with QoWL. To improve the QoWL, the nurses' socio-demographic factors should be considered and working conditions should be improved. Furthermore, well-designed institutional policies should be developed to improve the patient-nurse ratio and provide a quality healthcare.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Attitudes of Oncology Nurses Regarding Ageism(Springer, 2022-03-18) Curuk, Gulsum Nihal; Ozgul, EcemPurpose Ageism is reported to have negative impacts on older cancer patients' health and wellbeing. Nurses' attitudes to ageism influence the quality of care of older cancer patients and the prognosis of the disease. The aim of this descriptive and quantitative study was to determine oncology nurses' attitudes regarding ageism. Methods Data were collected online by using a sociodemographic and clinical features form developed in light of the literature and the Ageism Attitude Scale. The data collection tools were filled in by 237 oncology nurses between June and September in 2020. Obtained data were analyzed with mean, standard deviation, numbers, percentages, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Results The mean score of the oncology nurses on the Ageism Attitude Scale was 87.76 +/- 9.22 (ranging from 63 to 111), and their attitudes to old age were positive. The mean scores of the nurses on the subscales were as follows: 37.45 +/- 4.69 for restricting life of the elder, 30.05 +/- 5.27 for positive discrimination, and 20.30 +/- 4.58 for negative discrimination. Also, 75.94% of the nurses experienced difficulty in offering care to older patients. The mean score of the nurses on the Ageism Attitude Scale significantly differed in terms of age, duration of work experience, staying with older people, and financial status (p < 0.05). Conclusions The study revealed that the oncology nurses generally had positive attitudes to older people. Incorporation of geriatrics related topics into both undergraduate education and in-service training could help to maintain positive attitudes to older people and prevent unfavorable attitudes to them. It can also be recommended that attitudes of health professionals to ageism should be evaluated by older people in further studies.Article Diyabetik Ayak Nedeniyle Debridman Uygulanan Hastalarda Klorheksidin Solüsyonunun Mikroorganizma Üremesi Üzerine Etkisi: Randomize Kontrollü Çalışma(2023) Talhaoğlu, Dilek; Çürük, Gülsüm NihalAmaç: Araştırma, diyabetik ayak nedeniyle debridman uygu- lanan hastalarda klorheksidin solüsyonunun mikroorganizma üremesi üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmış randomize kontrollü de- neysel bir çal ışmadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma müdahale gru- bunda 30, kontrol grubunda 30 olmak üzere toplam 60 hasta ile tamamlanmıştır. Müdahale grubundaki hastalara debridman öncesi rutin uygulanan povidon iyotlu cerrahi bölge temizli ğine ek olarak %0,05’lik klorheksidin solüsyonuyla yıkama yapılmış, debridman son- rası tekrar klorheksidinle temizleme yapılarak pansuman kapatılmıştır. Kontrol grubunda deney grubundan farklı olarak %0,05’lik klorheksi- din glukonatlı solüsyon kullanılmamış, diğer işlemler deney grubunda olduğu gibi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Müdahale ve kontrol grubundaki hastaların tanıtıcı özellikleri ve diyabete ilişkin özellikleri bakımından benzer olduğu görülmüştür. Müdahale ve kontrol grubunda debridman öncesi mikroorganizma varlığı açısından fark bulunmazken, debridman sonrası müdahale grubunda daha az sayıda mikroorganizma ürediği tes- pit edilmiştir. Müdahale grubunda debridman öncesi ve sonrası bakteri üreme ortalaması sırasıyla 1,66±0,60 ve 0,60±0,67 olarak saptanmıştır. Kontrol grubunda debridman öncesi ve sonras ı bakteri üreme ortala- ması ise s ırasıyla 1,06±0,58 ve 1,10±0,75 olarak tespit edilmi ştir. Sonuç: Araştırma bulgularımıza dayanarak, diyabetik aya ğı olan bi- reylerde debridman öncesi uygulanan klorheksidin solüsyonunun deb- ridman sonras ı mikroorganizma say ısını azaltmada etkili oldu ğu söylenebilir.
