  Aim: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative joint disease that is characterised by joint pain and stiffness. The development of kinesiophobia is common in OA patients, especially related to pain and loss of function. The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and pain, quality of life and physical functions in patients with knee OA. Material and Method: A total of 60 patients (30 females and 30 males, aged 40-65 years) diagnosed with Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 2 and 3 OA participated in this cross-sectional study. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scales and Timed Up and Go (TUG), 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT), The Five Repetition Sit to Stand Test (5STS) and Stair-Climbing Test (SCT) functional tests were performed. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed between the male and female groups in all scales and functional test results, with the exception of TSK (p<0.05). A positive correlation was found between kinesiophobia and SCT in the female group, while a negative correlation was found between TUG and SF-12 PCS in the male group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicated that, in general, kinesiophobia was not significantly correlated with pain, knee score, balance, quality of life and functional tests in male and female OA patients. However, some scales and tests showed positive and negative correlations with kinesiophobia in both groups, although limited.

  Aydin, Aydanur; Karadeniz, Havva

  Aim: The research was carried out to determine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of the patients who were hospitalized due to their chronic disease. Material and Method: The descriptive study was completed with 47 patients hospitalized. The data were collected with a questionnaire and chi-square test was used.Results: It was found that one fifth of the patients donated organs by applying to a health institution and four of them thought to donate organs. Three-fifths of patients who do not want to donate organs are determined to be contrary to their religious beliefs, half of them do not want to donate organs to a person whose religious belief is not the same. It was observed that married patients wanted to donate organs higher than singles. Conclusion: It is thought that information about media support is needed in this regard, and information on family, aid and survival can be effective in changing the attitude towards organ donation.

  Theoretical Knowledge Difference Between Internet-Based and Digital Storytelling Education About Breast Cancer

  Aydin, Aydanur

  Aim: Previous research has identified the theoretical knowledge about breast cancer early diagnosis of nursing students and stated that new methods are needed in education. To evaluate the effect of education on the theoretical knowledge of students through internet-based or digital storytelling. Material and Method: Quasi-experimental study with comparison groups and pre- and post-measurements. In the internet-based education group 68 and digital storytelling videos 66 undergraduate nursing students have included in the study. Data for the study were gathered, before education and after eight weeks. The percentages were calculated for every measurement, the test was used for the data whose conformity to normal distribution, and was used to detect the statistical significance of changes between measurements. Results: The increase in knowledge scores was more often statistically significant in internet-based education than in the digital storytelling video. Conclusion: This research shows that it is possible to create changes in teaching breast cancer early diagnosis methods by using the developing technology.
