    Gender role attitudes show people's attitudes about appropriate role activities for women and men. Many family-related factors, including parents' beliefs and behavior, can affect how people view gender roles. Nurses as health care providers can play a role in helping to form health values and behaviors at different levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the attitude toward gender roles of parents and the quality of parent-child relationships in working female nurses. This study was correlational descriptive research that was conducted on 135 female nurses working in selected hospitals. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23. The average age of the participants was 32.62 years, the average score of attitude towards gender roles in nurses was 170.47, and it was reported in the range of 139 to 185. The mean attitude score in the dimension of the femininity role was equal to 64.06, in the dimension of the masculinity role was equal to 54.78, and in the social desirability dimension was equal to 51.64. The average score of the parent-child relationship was 142.19. The results showed a direct and significant relationship between the score of attitude towards gender roles and parent-child relationships in female nurses (P < 0.05, R = 0.187). The results of this study can be used in various areas of education and awareness of parents and school parents to influence the quality of relationships, values, and attitudes of children and parents and to change the public opinion of society about the positive role of women and men in building society.

    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.
