Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Turkish version of the “Stress Scale for Siblings of Childhood Cancer Patients (SCCP)”. Methods: This study was conducted with 273 siblings aged 11-16 of childhood cancer patients (SCCPs) who were treated in a hospital in the Black Sea Region of Türkiye between March 2022 and April 2024. Data were collected with “The Sociodemographic Information Form” and “SCCP”. The data were examined through descriptive statistics, as well as exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes. Results: The SCCP Turkish version is a valid and reliable scale consisting of 27 items and six sub-dimensions. The SCCP Turkish version explained 77.676% of the total variance. The SCCP Turkish version was found to be summable according to Tukey's test of additivity (p = 0.334), and the test-retest reliability of the scale was r = 0.864 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study indicate that the Turkish version of the SCCP is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating stress levels in siblings aged 11 to 16. Practice Implications: With SCCP, nurses can determine the stress levels of SCCPs and contribute to the planning of necessary interventions to cope with stress.

Cırık, Vildan Apaydın; Aksoy, Bahar
Objective: What distinguishes generation Alpha from earlier generations is that they are born into a digital world. The aim of this study was to develop the Generation Alpha Scale for Parents (GASP) and evaluate its content validity and psychometric properties. Material and Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 419 parents of generation Alpha. Data were collected using a socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire and GASP. The data were analyzed using t-test, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, Pearson’s cor- relation coefficient, and factor and item-total score analysis. Results: The scale had a content validity index of 0.93 and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed that the scale consisted of 26 items and three subscales: learning methods, commu- nication-social network, and personality prerequisites, respectively. The item-total correlations ranged from 0.479 to 0.912. The EFA showed that the scale explained 61.33% of the total variance. The confirmatory factor analysis also showed that the factor loadings ranged from 0.52 to 0.93. Root mean square error of approximation was less than 0.080 and was significant. Conclusion: The GASP is a valid and reliable mea- surement tool that can use by parents, health professionals, educators, and political groups to assess the characteristics of generation Alpha.

Apaydin Cirik, Vildan; Aksoy, Bahar; Bulut, Elif
Background and purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of parents in the role of a father in Turkey toward child sex education and their sexual communication with their children. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with the fathers of children in the pediatric outpatient clinic at a state hospital between December 30, 2021, and April 15, 2022. The study was reported based on STROBE. The data were collected from 297 fathers using the Descriptive Information Form, the Attitudes Scale Toward Sex education (ASTSE), and the Sexual Communication Scale for Parents(SCSP). Results: Sample statistics demonstrate that 67.7% of the participants did not receive sex education in their childhood, and 57.4% stated that their children received sex education only from their mothers. Higher attitudes toward sexual education were found in the fathers with a university or higher education degree (χ2 = 15.396; p < 0.01), and those giving sex education to their children (χ2 = 18.388;p < 0.001). Higher total scores were obtained on the sexual communication scale by fathers with university and higher education degrees (χ2 = 12.898;p < 0.01) and those who received sex education in their childhood (t = 2.330;p = 0.021). There is a highly significant positive correlation between the mean scores of the role of a parent subscale of the ASTSE and the mean total score of the SCSP (r = 0.81;p < 0.001). Conclusions: There is a positive correlation between fathers' parental role attitudes toward sex education and their sexual communication with their children. Practice implications: Supporting fathers' sexual communication with their children can positively affect fathers' attitudes and communication toward sex education.

- MakaleAçık Erişim2022The image of nursing among nursing and other healthcare professional university students: A mixed-method study
Apaydin Cirik, Vildan; Gül, Uğur; Aksoy, Bahar
Aim: This study had three objectives: (1) determining the image of nursing in the eyes of undergraduate health sciences students; (2) identifying factors affecting that image; and (3) evaluating students’ views and experiences regarding that image. Background: If healthcare students perceive nursing positively, it may result in directing future generations to nursing, and improving nursing, and reducing the need for nurses. Design: This study adopted an explanatory sequential design with participant selection variant. The design involved data collection in two consecutive phases. Methods: A mixed-method design using quantitative data and qualitative interviews was used. In the quantitative phase, a descriptive and cross-sectional research method was used. The qualitative phase was based on phenomenological research. The quantitative portion was performed with 1556 participants in their second, third or fourth year during the 2019–2020 academic year. Students were from the nursing, emergency and disaster management, nutrition and dietetics, occupational health and safety, health management, and social work departments. The qualitative portion was performed with 29 participant volunteers. Participants were interviewed on the phone. The data were collected using an introductory information form, a nursing image scale, and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the independent-samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, one-way ANOVA, and stepwise linear regression. The quantitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: There were significant relationships between participants' nursing image scale total scores and their department (p < 0.001), education year (p = 0.014), age (p = 0.032) and desire to recommend the nursing profession (p < 0.001). Nursing image scale total score was significantly higher in nursing departments than in other departments. Second-year participants and 18–20-year-olds had higher total scores than fourth-year participants and 21–23-year-olds, respectively, and those who would recommend the nursing profession had higher total scores than those who would not recommend it (p < 0.05). Analysis of the qualitative data produced six main themes: perceptions of the nursing profession, perceived nursing figure, nurse knowledge, relationship with healthcare professionals, reason for preference and job gender. Conclusion: This study employed a mixed-method design involving both quantitative and qualitative stages. The results highlighted the image of nursing and its significance in the eyes of prospective healthcare professionals. Detecting nursing image early can increase professional training and improve the professional image of nursing. We should take into account the factors that negatively affect the image of nursing to plan nursing education better in the future.

Cirik, Vildan Apaydin; Bulut, Elif; Aksoy, Bahar; Coemert, Hatice Sonay Yalcin; Pate, Joshua W.
Background and purpose: Pain experiences in childhood are very likely to be reflected in adulthood. The early evaluation of the concept of pain in children may eventually lead to.better patient outcomes in the future. Therefore, we aimed to culturally and developmentally adapt the Concept of Pain Inventory for Children (COPI) for Turkish children.Methods: This descriptive, correlational study was conducted with 239 post-operative children aged 8-12 years between June and December 2021. The research adhered to COSMIN guidelines. The data were collected using a descriptive information form and the COPI. Factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and item-total score analysis were used for the data analysis.Results: The resulting unidimensional scale consists of 12 items in Turkish. The scale explained 65% of the total variance. The exploratory factor analysis showed that the factor loadings of items ranged from 0.64 to 0.91. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the factor loadings of items ranged from 0.66 to 0.92. Goodness of fit indexes were found to be as follows: Normed Fit Index >0.90; Incremental Fit Index >0.90; Comparative Fit Index >0.90; and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation <0.08. The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.78 (reliable). Conclusions: The 12-item Turkish translation of the COPI was deemed valid and reliable in 8-12-year-old children in a post-operative setting. Practice implications: Evaluation of children's pain concepts during childhood may contribute to the identification of conceptual gaps for pain science education.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Cırık, Vildan Apaydın; Aksoy, Bahar
Bal üretimi ve arıcılık uygulamaları Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde daha fazla yapılmaktadır. Bu araştırma, Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde bulunan hasta kapasitesi en büyük hastanelerinin pediatri kliniklerinde çalışan pediatri hemşirelerinin kişisel ve profesyonel apiterapi kullanımına ilişkin bilgi, deneyim ve tutumlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, Türkiye'nin Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi'ndeki altı hastanede çalışan, çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü 227 pediatri hemşiresi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu araştırmada, cinsiyet, çocuk sahibi olma ve klinik deneyim ile apiterapi kullanımı arasında korelesyon bulunmaktadır. Bal hemşirelerin hem kişisel (%40,4) hem de klinik kullanımda (%39,1) kullandığı en yaygın apiterapötik bir üründür. Hemşireler arı zehirini bilmediklerini, propolis ve arı sütü hakkında ise çok az şey bildiklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Hemşireler, balın “öksürük semptomlarını hafifletme, gastriti tedavi etme, bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirme, yaraları ve yanıkları etkili bir şekilde iyileştirme” gibi olumlu deneyimlerini ve “alerji, baş dönmesi, baş ağrısı ve kaşıntı” gibi yan etkileriyle ilgili olumsuz deneyimlerini belirtmişlerdir. Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp yöntemlerinde yer alan apiterapi yöntemi hakkında hemşirelerin sorumluluk alması ve kanıta dayalı apiterapi yöntemlerini kullanabilmeleri oldukça önemlidir. Hemşirelerin apiterapinin yararları ve yan etkileri konusunda bilgili ve dikkatli olmaları önerilmektedir.
