Kulakaç, Nurşen; Koçan, Sema; Aktuğ, Cemile
This study was conducted to explore the effect of video-based simulation training on postoperative patient care, clinical decision-making, and the competency levels of nursing students. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The sample of the study consisted of students (n=87) attending the nursing department of the health sciences faculty of a state university located in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. The data were collected with the “Student Information Form”, the “Postoperative Patient Care Knowledge Test”, the “Clinical Decision-Making in Nursing Scale (CDMNS)”, and the “Competency Inventory of Nursing Students (CINS)”. The postoperative patient care knowledge test scores of the experimental group students were statistically significantly higher than those of the control group (p<0.001). The CDMNS scores of the experimental group students were statistically significantly higher than those of the control group (p=0.024). There was no statistically significant difference between the CINS scores of the experimental and control groups. The results showed that the use of video simulation contributed positively to students' postoperative patient care and clinical decision-making.

Gezginci, Elif; Goktas, Sonay; Aktuğ, Cemile
The systematic review was planned to examine the application time of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent surgical side infections. The keywords, “antibiotic application time”, “antibiotic prophylaxis” and “surgical side infections”, were searched both in Turkish and English in Google Scholar, PUBMED, and EBSCO databases. A total of 5969 studies published between 2009 and 2019 were screened. After the literature review, 5 related studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and antibiotic application times were examined. In a study included in the study, it was shown that the risk of developing surgical site infection was reduced in patients who received antibiotics for proclactic purposes 60 minutes before incision line formation. In the remaining four studies, it was stated that prophylactic antibiotherapy applied 30 minutes before surgery minimizes the development of surgical site infection. It was revealed that the application of prophylactic antibiotherapy 30 minutes before the incision line minimizes the risk of infection in the surgical area and the literature should be supported by studies on the time of antibiotic administration.

Doğan, Melike Demir; Aktuğ, Cemile
Aim: Constipation is a common symptom for many patients and constipation assessment scales used by the nurses providing care take a long time to apply. Assessment of constipation is important to improve its management. Therefore, our study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of The Constipation Assessment Scale. Methods: The Constipation Assessment Scale was translated into Turkish and was administered to a sample of 140 participants after the validation of cultural adaptation. The test–retest method was used to assess the scale’s stability over time. Internal consistency reliability was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Results: The Constipation Assessment Scale’s structural validity was determined with confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis was used to examine dimensionality. The test-retest reliability showed almost perfect agreement, with an ICC of 0.744 (p<0.001) for the total score of the Turkish version of the Constipation Assessment Scale. The internal consistency of the Turkish version of the Constipation Assessment Scale was good (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.784). Conclusion: The linguistic and psychometric evaluation demonstrated the validity of the Turkish version of Constipation Assessment Scale. It is consisting of eight items and providing easy use. So that nurses can assess constipation in less time.

Gürsoy, Ayla; Koçan, Sema; Aktuğ, Cemile
Purposes The aim of this study was to acquire a deeper understanding of male experiences on the emotional and social impact of their partners’ mastectomy and chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Methods A purposive sample of 16 males whose partners had undergone mastectomy and alopecia due to chemotherapy was chosen. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview method. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of tape-recorded interviews was employed. Results Two main themes emerged from the data: facing the changes and my wife and I at present. Male partners were affected differently by the change in the physical appearance of their female partners. Our study participants said it was a difficult experience to see their partners for the first time after the surgery, but they emphasized that it was more important that their partners were healthy than the fact that they did not have a breast and hair. They also said they did not know how to behave towards their partners after surgery and/or chemotherapy. Nevertheless, they felt that the disease process of their partners had strengthened their bond and had not negatively influenced their relationship with others. Conclusions The changes in the partners’ physical appearance after mastectomy and chemotherapy affected males differently in psychological, emotional and social terms. Since nurses working in this field are in contact with patients during all phases of treatment and care, it would be positive and beneficial to plan nursing interventions that give emotional support for male partners of patients with breast cancer.
