The "TakeCare!" study addresses the problem that vocational students of nursing care cope with great physical and psychological demands during their daily routines. To meet these demands, the Bavarian curriculum for generalist nurses has adopted the promotion of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) for vocational students. However, it must be assumed that the concept has not yet been adopted comprehensively across the Bavarian nursing landscape. Therefore, the "TakeCare!" study tackles the question of how PAHCO can be implemented most appropriately in Bavarian nursing schools. Drawing on experiences from the project PArC-AVE, three different dissemination approaches will being tested and compared with a control group. A total of 16 nursing schools from different regions of Bavaria will be assigned to four different study arms (cluster-randomized design). In the long term, the project aims to derive recommendations for all nursing schools in Bavaria.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the interactive nurse support program developed as a mobile application on patient outcomes (symptom management, quality of life, perception of social support and anxiety) in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy during the COVID-19 process; It was planned in a randomized controlled, single-blind design. In the study, a mobile application will be designed for colorectal cancer patients with the content created in line with the literature. In the application, the "about COVID-19" module, which includes information for colorectal cancer patients during the COVID-19 process, the "learning module" in which the symptoms and suggestions for colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy are included, the "discussion" module where patients can share their knowledge and experiences with each other, The "ask the expert" module, where nurses and physicians can ask questions, will be comprised of the "lived stories" module and the communication sections, which include interview videos made with individuals who are in remission only after completing the treatment related to the disease. A pretest consisting of Personal Information Form, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale EORTC QLQ-C30 and CR29 Quality of Life Scale, ECOG Performance Scale and Beck Anxiety Scale will be administered to all patients included in the study. The mobile application will be installed on the phones of the patients in the experimental group and they will be used for 12 weeks. Patients in the control group will receive standard care during this process and no intervention will be made. In the sixth and twelve weeks, all participants will be given a posttest. The change in symptom management, quality of life, perceived social support and anxiety levels of the experimental group after mobile application use will be evaluated.
The objective of this study is to evaluate effectiveness, usability and clinical utility of the remote patient monitoring (RPM) "fit" score when choosing patients to enter the RPM Program.
Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer in the world. Cancer itself and chemotherapy treatment, which is one of the most important treatment steps, may cause unwanted physical, social and psychological effects (symptoms) for the patient. These effects significantly affect the patient's quality of life. It is possible to manage the symptoms and reduce their destructive effects with professional care and treatment support that includes evidence-based practices. On the other hand, breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy during the Coronavirus Pandemic form the risk group in terms of infection; On the one hand, the continued treatment and care support, on the other hand, required changes in the approach to the patient in order to reduce the risk of infection. In addition to reducing the risk of infection, mobile applications can create an alternative during the coronavirus Pandemic. process in order to maintain quality and uninterrupted care and treatment. This study is planned to be conducted analytically in a randomized controlled single-blind pattern in order to determine the effect of the interactive nurse support program developed with the mobile application on the patient outcomes (symptom management, quality of life, social support perception and anxiety) in breast cancer patients who received chemotherapy during the coronavirus pandemic. Within the scope of the study, interactive nurse support developed with mobile application will be applied to the research group from patients who apply to the polyclinic to receive chemotherapy treatment, and the control group will receive standard care. As a result of the analysis of the data collected systematically with forms and scales, the effect of the interactive nurse support program developed with the mobile application on patient outcomes (symptom management, quality of life, social support perception and anxiety) will be evaluated and recommendations will be made regarding the use of the application in patients with breast cancer.
Aims: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of Health Coaching in empowering hospitalised chronic heart failure patients. Methods: pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study was carried out with 59 patients, allocated into the pre-intervention group (N=29) and post-intervention group (N=30) in a cardiology ward of a hospital. The intervention consisted of the knowledge traslation acquired on health coaching by the nurses of the cardiology unit to their care activity with CHF patients. The Patient empowerment in long-term conditions Questionnaire was used to measure heart failure patients: Attitude and sense of control; Shared and informed decision-making; and Information seeking and peer sharing, on two occasions: T1, pre-intervention, and T2, after completion of the intervention.
Purpose: The fact that young people starting university during the pandemic period continue this academic period with distance education increases the stress they experience. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mindfulness-based psychoeducation program applied with distance education on the psychological well-being, emotional intelligence, and stress levels of youth. Method: This study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner with a pretest-posttest control group random design model. The population of the study consisted of 120 newly enrolled students in the nursing department of a foundation university, and the sample consisted of a total of 59 students who met the inclusion criteria of the study. In the sample, while 29 students formed the intervention group, 30 students formed the control group. Mindfulness-Based Psychoeducation Program (MBPP) was applied to the intervention group twice a week for 4 weeks. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB), and Revised Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) were used as measurement tools. Further, t-test, Mann Whitney U analysis, and Wilcoxon signed-row test were used in the analysis of the data.

It is important to provide practice-oriented education for nurses in a safe environment. As it became difficult to maintain face-to-face education and practice environment due to COVID-19, a new paradigm for nurse education was required. The investigators tried to use augmented reality technology in nurse education, and based on this, research was conducted to devise, develop, apply, and evaluate the satisfaction and usability of educators. The field needs were checked through literature review, the subject of the augmented technology-based education program was selected, and the program was produced and applied, and this was evaluated through a questionnaire including a system usability evaluation scale and a technology acceptance model-based question.
