    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.

    This study was conducted to determine the effect of video-based simulation education on nursing students' motivation and academic achievement. The research was designed in a mixed model. A quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group was used for the quantitative part, and the descriptive phenomenology approach was used as the qualitative research method. The sample of the study consisted of second-year nursing students in two state universities in eastern Turkey. The data were collected with the Student Information Form, the Academic Achievement Test, and the Motivation Resources and Problems Scale using Google Forms Web application. Qualitative data were collected through online semistructured interview forms and focus group interviews. According to the results, the posttest academic achievement and Motivation Resources and Problems Scale mean scores of the students in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < .05). In the analysis of the qualitative, three main themes emerged: We felt fortunate that it increased information retention,” “We felt like we were in real practice environment,” and “It made us feel that we were nurses.” The results showed the use of video-based simulation can be suggested as a strategy to promote classroom teaching and engage students.

    The aim of the study is to determine the awareness of the Turkish society in COVID-19, and determine the anxiety stress levels. Research two months after the start of the outbreak in Turkey has reached 2163 individuals completed the online platform. The Integrated Anxiety Stress Scale significantly changed according to age, gender, marital status and working status after the pandemic. According to the results of multiple binary logistic regression analysis, individuals aged 50 and over, female gender, being single and not working after the pandemic for anxiety; female gender, being married, and post-pandemic study were found to be risk factors for Covid awareness. It is recommended that epidemic awareness studies and information sharing on controlled healing measures are planned considering the anxiety levels.

    Nothing is more important than my partner's health: Turkish men's perspectives on partner's appearance after mastectomy and alopecia

    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.
