- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Brain Drain-Related Perspectives of Senior Nursing Students in Türkiye: A Qualitative Study; [Türkiye'deki Son Sınıf Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Beyin Göçüyle İlgili Görüşleri: Nitel Bir Çalışma]
Tuncer, Metin; Tuncer, Gülsüm Zekiye
Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the brain drain-related perspectives of nursing students who wanted to emigrate in depth. Methods: The study has the descriptive qualitative research design. The population of the study comprised 13 senior nursing students studying at the Faculty of Nursing of a university and intending to emigrate abroad. Data were collected through face-to-face individual in-depth interviews. The interviews were audio-recorded after the participants’ permission was obtained. This study adopted a qualitative research design based on inductive content analysis to explore the participants’ perspectives in depth. Results: In this study, three themes emerged from the students' opinions: "Perception of brain drain", "Motivation behind brain drain" and "Challenges". The first theme reflected students’ varied views on migration, including both positive and negative perceptions, a growing social trend towards emigration, and feelings of hopelessness and dissatisfaction with nursing in Türkiye, leading to the formation of personal migration plans. The second theme captured motivations such as the influence of relatives and role models abroad, favourable personal conditions, attractive opportunities overseas, language efforts, and openness to new experiences. The final theme focused on challenges, including push factors like poor working conditions and low wages, barriers such as language and time constraints, and emotional concerns such as loneliness and cultural adjustment. Conclusion: The study showed that nursing students’ intention to emigrate stems from mixed perceptions of brain drain, strong personal and social motivations, and various emotional and structural challenges. Addressing these issues may help mitigate future nurse migration.

Background: While a sense of belonging may be necessary for human motivation, the disruption of this sense of belonging among nurses can have implications for patient care and safety. Aim: This article was aimed at assessing the sense of belonging experienced by nursing students in three different settings (clinic, classroom, and student group) by conducting the validity and reliability of the Sense of Belonging in Nursing School (SBNS) scale, adapting it to the Turkish language and culture, and reporting the results. Methods: The study was conducted in a nursing faculty between March and July 2023. The study sample comprised 193 nursing students. We performed the content validity assessment of the 19-item SBNS scale after conducting a structural validity analysis using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The Cronbach’s alpha and item-total score correlations were examined to assess the scale’s internal consistency. Results: The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy for the SBNS instrument was 0.903, and the result of Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (χ² = 3182.764, p = 0.000), indicating that the scale was suitable for factor analysis. The eigenvalue analysis identified a four-factor structure explaining 76.74% of the total variance. These four factors were subsequently named as follows: (1) clinical compliance, (2) social belonging, (3) school support, and (4) clinical support. The goodness-of-fit values for the model obtained from the CFA were χ2/SD = 2.15, comparative fit index = 0.947, goodness-of-fit index = 0.852, normed fit index = 0.906, incremental fit index = 0.948, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.077, suggesting that the model fit was acceptable, and the four-factor structure was well distributed. The scale exhibited high internal consistency (α = 0.933). Discussion: The SBNS scale is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the sense of belonging experienced by nursing students in three different environments. Further research is needed to establish its predictive validity. Conclusions and Implications for Nursing: This study was conducted, and there was no scale used in the Turkish literature to measure nursing students’ sense of school belonging; thus, it is the first in this sense.

Demir Doğan, Melike; Uludağ, Elanur
Aims: This study was designed to determine the coronavirus-associated anxiety, fear, and awareness of nursing students who will start face-to-face education. Methods: In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, the data were collected using the socio-demographic characteristics form, Fear of COVID-19 Scale, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale-Short Form, and COVID-19 Awareness Scale between 29 November 2021 and 1 January 2022. The sample consisted of 344 nursing students. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 20.49±1.78. It was determined that there was a significant difference between gender and the total score of Fear of COVID-19 Scale and the total score of COVID-19 Awareness Scale. Individuals having a nuclear family had significantly higher levels of fear of COVID-19 than those having an extended family. There was a positive and significant relationship between number of vaccinations, age, total score of the Coronavirus anxiety scale, total score of the COVID-19 awareness scale, total score of the hygiene subscale, total score of distance subscale, and total score of mask subscale. It was determined that there was a negative significant correlation between age and the total score of COVID-19 awareness scale and the total score of the Coronavirus anxiety scale. Conclusion: It was determined that women’s levels of fear of COVID-19 and coronavirus awareness levels were significantly higher compared to their male counterparts. The fear of COVID-19 increased as the number of vaccination, age. As the fear of COVID-19 increased, the level of COVID-19 awareness also increased.

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.

Koçan, Sema; Kulakaç, Nurşen; Aktug, Cemile; Demirel, Sevgül
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.

Introduction:Clinical practices constitute an important part of nursing education and students are expected to gain the ability to plan patient care during nursing education.Aim:It aimed to construct North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) nursing diagnoses in nursing students' patient care plans according to the Functional Health Patterns model and to evaluate them according to the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) classification systems.Methods:The descriptive study's population included 198 second-year nursing students from a university. Students' care plans were used as a data gathering form, and 176 care plans were included in the research. The data was gathered from functional health patterns, NIC, and NOC system questionnaires.Results:Nursing diagnoses were listed as infection risk (88.6%), fall risk (79.5%), and bleeding (56.8%). Nursing diagnoses belonging to sexuality-reproductive, coping-stress tolerance, and value-belief sub-categories of functional health patterns could not be reached from the care plans.Conclusion:There is a need for classification methods to objectively evaluate nursing practices, make quantifiable contributions to care, and improve the profession's scientific underpinnings. It is hoped that evidence-based care can be provided by raising pupils' knowledge of classification systems.

Özakgül, Aylin Aktaş; Şendir, Merdiye; Atav, A. Serdar; Kiziltan, Belkiz
Background: Studies indicate that the attitudes of nurses, nursing students, and other health care professionals towards Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients are affected by cultural differences and the fear of HIV/AIDS infection, resulting in both negative attitudes and reluctance to care for these patients. Empathy is critical for all health professionals in the delivery of effective care. Research indicates that as empathic tendencies develop, so do better communication skills, better attitudes, and better quality of care. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among demographic factors, familiarity with HIV/AIDS, attitudes towards HIV/AIDS, and empathic tendencies in a Turkish sample of nursing students. Design and Methods: Using a non-experimental, correlational design, data on demographics, HIV/AIDS Attitude Scale (AAS) and the Scale of Empathic Tendency (SET) were collected. Participants: The study sample consisted of 614 undergraduate nursing students in two universities located in different geographic regions of Turkey. Results: The results of this study indicated that attitudes and empathic tendencies are related to knowledge and exposure to patients. As well, those students with more positive attitudes had higher empathic tendencies towards HIV/AIDS patients. Conclusions: It is important to adopt strategies to improve the empathic tendencies and attitudes of nursing students. These strategic changes would increase the quality of care provided to all patients.
