Objective This research aimed to adapt Positive Attitudes Toward and Perceived Importance of Wearable Display Technology (PATPIWDT) as an Effective Learning Tool Among Nursing Students into Turkish and to examine the validity and reliability of its translation.Methods This methodological study included 698 nursing students recruited via convenience sampling. Construct validity was evaluated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation method. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega coefficients.Results The model demonstrated excellent fit according to the confirmatory factor analysis results. The CFA results for the Positive Attitudes subscale indicated a good model fit (CMIN/DF = 4.79, GFI = 0.93, CFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.07, SRMR = 0.03). For the Perceived Importance subscale, the single-factor structure showed acceptable fit indices (CMIN/DF = 5.82, GFI = 0.98, SRMR = 0.03). As a result of examining the standardized loadings of the items, it was seen that the item factor loadings were 0.40 and above, indicating sufficient factor loading. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.91 for the positive attitudes subscale and 0.84 for the perceived importance subscale. The respondents also demonstrated an above-average overall score, with a mean of 3.40 (SD = 0.69).Conclusion The Turkish version of the scale provides a dependable measure of nursing students' positive attitudes toward wearable screens and how important they consider this technology for future educational use.

Aydin, Aydanur
In the event of a natural disaster, women who assume multiple roles within the family unit tend to postpone their health concerns and delay medical appointments. The present study aims to examine the relationship between the level of fear of breast cancer and the implementation of breast cancer preventive behaviours among women following an earthquake. The sample consists of 2,671 women aged 20 and over who participated voluntarily. The data were collected using two instruments: the Breast Cancer Fear Scale and the Women's Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors Form. Following a comprehensive review of the extant literature, it was determined that women affected by earthquakes exhibited elevated levels of fear of breast cancer. A substantial decline was observed in the utilization of preventive measures necessitating institutional access, including mammography. The findings of this study indicate that education, occupation, and family history of breast cancer have a significant impact on women's post-earthquake fear levels in implementing preventive behaviours. However, given the cross-sectional design and the absence of pre-disaster baseline data, these findings reflect post-earthquake associations rather than temporal or causal trends. Natural disasters can result in the deterioration of health perceptions, exacerbated by heightened stress and health concerns. Consequently, there is an urgent need for innovative approaches to ensure the maintenance of health check-ups and continuous access to preventive care in the aftermath of large-scale natural disasters.

Background: – Virtual reality (VR) can be an innovative method to reduce patients’ anxiety and support their psychological health. Objective: – To evaluate the anxiety and distress-reducing effects of using immersive VR (IVR) intervention in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT). Methods: – Sixty breast cancer patients undergoing RT were recruited for the quasi-experimental study. The participants were divided into the intervention group and the control group. Anxiety and distress, the primary outcome measures, were assessed before the first and after the last radiation session using reliable scales. Patients in the intervention group watched a tranquil forest view with birdsong and meditation music during each RT session using IVR goggles. Results: – Both group patients had similar levels of anxiety and distress before the start of RT. After the intervention, the anxiety and distress of the patients in the intervention group decreased significantly compared with the control group. In addition, treatment-related comfort was higher in the intervention group. Overall, the majority of patients in the intervention group expressed a high level of satisfaction with this IVR experience. Conclusion: – Patients who experienced an IVR intervention showed less anxiety and distress, greater comfort, and higher satisfaction. This innovative technique can be used as a practical solution to alleviate anxiety and distress in various healthcare settings. Implications for Practice: – Immersive VR can be used in treatment and care interventions that cause anxiety and distress in oncology patients.

Aydin, Aydanur; Gürsoy, Ayla
Background: – Following surgery, women with breast cancer (BC) frequently experience emotional and physiological negative consequences. Objective: – To evaluate the effect of a nurse-led mobile app (NL-Mapp) intervention on quality of life (QoL) in patients after surgery for BC. Methods: – This single-center, 12-month, nonrandomized controlled trial, with 2 parallel groups, represents the final stage of 3-step research. In this study, women were assigned to either the intervention (n = 45) or control (n = 45) group. The intervention group participated in the NL-Mapp, whereas participants in the control group received standard care. The main outcomes were measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Breast at 3 time points (baseline and 1 and 12 months after the intervention). Clinical Trial number: NCT06505538 Results: – The intervention participants reported significant improvement in physical well-being, emotional well-being, and the BC-specific subscale compared with the control group at the 1-month postsurgery mark. Equally noteworthy, at the 1-year follow-up, consistent improvements were observed across all QoL subscale scores for the intervention group, except for the BC-specific subscale for additional concerns. Conclusion: – Our study revealed a notable enhancement in the QoL among postoperative women with BC who utilized the NL-Mapp. This program emerges as an effective intervention for providing short-term and longer-term supportive care to women affected by BC, leading to tangible improvements in their QoL. Implication for Nursing: – The study’s findings offer valuable evidence supporting the integration of mobile health services into clinical and transitional nursing care.

Aydin, Aydanur; Menekşeoğlu, Ahmet Kıvanç; Dilaver, İrem; Taş, Süleyman Kasım
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the impact of immersive virtual reality (IVR) interventions on enhancing mobilization in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Design A randomized, single-blinded, two-arm, parallel-group controlled trial. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 30 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty for the first time. Participants were divided into two groups: the intervention and control groups. The primary outcome, mobilization distance, was measured at the first postoperative mobilization using validated scales. Before mobilization, patients in the intervention group experienced a simulated walk through a tranquil forest accompanied by birdsong and meditation music via IVR goggles. Results All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon, and postoperative medical care was standardized across both groups. The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater mobilization distances and shorter initial walking times than the control group. Moreover, patients in the intervention group reported reduced postmobilization pain and expressed high satisfaction with the IVR experience. Conclusions The findings indicate that patients who experienced IVR intervention exhibited reduced postmobilization pain, increased mobilization distance, and higher satisfaction. This innovative technique has the potential to serve as a practical solution to enhance clinical improvement in various healthcare settings. Clinical Implications This study demonstrated the effectiveness of IVR-assisted mobilization in enhancing walking distance among patients undergoing knee surgery. The use of IVR presents an innovative and engaging approach to support postoperative mobilization in this patient population. Further research in this area may contribute to the development of more comprehensive and effective IVR interventions.

Aydin, Aydanur; Güler, Sevil; Bulut, Hülya
Objectives: Virtual reality (VR)-based interventions are widely used in education. However, it is necessary to systematically examine the outcomes of immersive virtual reality (IVR) applications in nursing education, clarifying their impact on knowledge, skills, and attitudes among nursing students. Methods: This review utilized the methodological framework of the Joanna Briggs Institute. A search was conducted of the Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Web of Science, and Scopus databases for the period from 2013 to 2023. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol informed the review and screening of the literature. The articles were assessed for eligibility via first screening by abstract review, followed by a full-text review. The first two authors reviewed the articles, assessing qualification for inclusion and evaluating the content. Data from eligible articles were analyzed and synthesized to answer the research question. Results: Of the initial 667 articles, 11 articles met the inclusion criteria for final analysis. The findings indicate that IVR applications in clinical practice positively impact nursing students, as IVR provides effective results in increasing their knowledge. Nursing educators should avoid comparing the results of students’ IVR practice with classical clinical practice. Nursing students should continue to engage in clinical practice, as it remains an essential aspect of their education. While technological applications such as IVR may be useful, they should not be used as a substitute for clinical practice. This review highlights the reported outcomes and benefits of clinical teaching methods in nursing. Conclusion: A limited number of articles were found that evaluated the education of nursing students in IVR applications. The analyzed articles found that nurse educators experienced meaningful knowledge exchange with students after IVR implementation. Further research is needed to identify effective outcomes in clinical education. It is essential to advance science to transform clinical education and use it more consciously to teach practical thinking and decision-making about patient care.

Aydin, Aydanur; Bağcivan, Gülcan; Özkan, Aleyna
Background: Despite its growing presence in healthcare settings, research on the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) interventions for symptom experience of patients with cancer remains varied and requires a comprehensive synthesis to reach definitive conclusions. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of VR interventions in managing anxiety among individuals diagnosed with cancer. Methods: A comprehensive search of Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was conducted for studies published from 2000 to November 2025. Publications were evaluated by independent reviewers for inclusion. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed via Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools for randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies. Results: Twenty-one publications satisfied the requirements for review inclusion. The meta-analysis demonstrated that VR-based interventions were significantly effective in the management of patients’ anxiety, yielding a moderate-to-high effect size (SMD = −0.793, 95% CI = −1.403 to −0.184; Z = −2.551; p = 0.011). Most studies reported statistically significant decreases in anxiety scores across various cancer types, including breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers. No major side effects were reported, although minor instances of cyber sickness were managed by adjusting session durations. User satisfaction was exceptionally high, with satisfaction scores reaching 4.47/5 and 7.35/10. Implications for practice: The results support the use of VR as an effective and safe non-pharmacological intervention for anxiety management. The findings highlight the potential for VR to be integrated into routine oncology nursing and palliative care to improve the patient experience during stressful treatments like chemotherapy. Conclusion: VR-based interventions are an effective, safe, and highly acceptable approach for managing anxiety in patients with cancer. Further research is needed to support wider clinical implementation and to investigate the potential benefits of VR for other physical and psychological symptoms over longer follow-up periods.

Aydın, Aydanur
Background: Case-based training is a crucial component of nursing education, providing students with opportunities to enhance clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and professional behavior. However, few studies integrate these constructs into measurable educational outcomes. Methods: This study aims to look at the influence of online care training, which is based on case studies in surgical illnesses nursing, on students' care behaviors and self-efficacy levels. Participants were randomly assigned to undergo case-based education or traditional instruction. One hundred and four undergraduate nursing students from one university were chosen to participate. The structure is logical, with causal relationships between claims and a clear order of information. The researcher used an online platform to collect data from students in both groups before and three months after training. The introduction features form comprised the caring behavior scale (CBS) and questions to assess nursing students' self-efficacy. Results: Before the training, there was no discernible difference in the levels of care exhibited by the participants or in their self-efficacy. Nevertheless, a notable alteration was observed in the CBS scores of the intervention group students following the training period. Their CBS and self-efficacy scores surpassed those of the control group. The results of the regression analysis indicated that age, gender, place of residence, and caring assessment scores did not exert a significant influence on the total score of the Caring Behavior Scale. Conclusion: The findings of the research indicated that structured case-based nursing education was an effective method for fostering the development of caring behaviors among students.
