Filter by:This study aimed to To investigate the effect of empowerment-based interventions (EBI) on self-efficacy and self-care capacity among adults with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The hypotheses of this study were: Adults with SCD who receive EBI exhibit higher self-efficacy, self- management capacity and HRQoL than those who do not.
This study was conducted to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care in Ostomy Patient Index, to evaluate the relatives of patients with stoma who contribute to their self-care in Turkish society, and to contribute to the nursing literature of the measurement tool. This methodological type of research was carried out between September 2020 and January 2021 in a state and a university hospital in Tekirdağ. The research sample consisted of 223 individuals who contributed to the self-care of individuals with colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy who applied for outpatient control. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, language and content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, item analysis, internal consistency and test-retest methods were used. At the end of the study, it was determined that the scale was suitable for Turkish society and was valid and reliable in Turkish.

The present study evaluates the effect of nursing care based on the Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory on the knowledge and skills related to self-care among adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis.
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic and progressive disease in which typical symptoms and accompanying findings are observed as a result of low cardiac output and increased intracardiac pressures at rest or during exercise, caused by filling of the ventricles or excretion of blood. According to a study by the Turkish Society of Cardiology, the prevalence of the disease is 10% in people over 65 years of age and 2.9% in people over 35 years of age. At the same time, the prevalence of HF is significantly higher compared to similar population studies from Western countries, although the population in our country is younger on average than in these countries. The quality of life of HF patients is affected by lifelong treatment and symptoms of the disease. As a result, HF patients cannot continue their daily lives on their own and are unable to meet their own daily needs, so they rely on the care of others. For the treatment of HF and prevention of cardiovascular disease, the European Society of Cardiology guidelines (ESC) recommend training and rehabilitation at a high level of evidence (Class IIA). Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs aim to reduce cardiovascular risks, support healthy lifestyles, and improve quality of life. Transtheoretical Model (TTM), which is among the behavior change models, offers a promising approach to integrate the stages and processes of change into the CR process at home. When we look at the studies conducted with TTM, no studies have been found that implemented TTM-based interventions and CR interventions in HF patients. In this study, the effect of TTM-based cardiac rehabilitation training on self-care, quality of life and self-efficacy levels in heart failure patients will be examined. This research was planned as a pre-test, post-test, parallel group, randomized controlled study. The population of the research consists of HF patients who are being treated in the units of Adana City Hospital Cardiology Department. The sample size was calculated as 35 experiments and 35 controls, using the effect size of similar research in the literature. As data collection tools, socio-demographic characteristics information form, behavior change diagnosis form, Minnesota Life with Heart Failure Scale, European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Home Visits Follow-up chart and Patient Follow-up Form, Telephone Counseling Follow-up chart and general situation evaluation form will be used. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to groups and followed at home for 12 weeks. During the follow-up period, there will be 7 home visits and 5 telephone follow-ups for the experimental group participants, and 3 home visits for the control group participants. TTM-based CR home care program will be applied to the experimental group through home visits and telephone follow-up, no application will be made to the control group and the necessary data will be collected. SPSS 22.0 program will be used to perform descriptive and advanced analysis of the data. Scale use, ethics committee and institutional permission were obtained for this research.
The health of our nurses is perhaps the most important consideration for delivering excellent patient care. The passionate approach of nurses can lead to a lot of fatigue and stress among nurses. Their health is perhaps the most important consideration for delivering excellent patient care. Self-care provides nurses with the framework for managing professional burnout, compassion fatigue, and traumatic stress. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of self-care skill educational intervention on increasing compassion satisfaction and reducing compassionate fatigue among clinical nurses. The interactive Self-care skill education will be administrated and evaluated.
Global population aging has drastically increased healthcare spending worldwide, with the greatest portion going to hospital and community health services. Heart failure (HF), as the final form of many cardiovascular diseases resulting from insufficient myocardial pumping. Ineffective self-care is consistently identified as the major modifiable risk factor for HF decompensation requiring hospitalization. It refers to an active cognitive process that influence patients' engagement in self-care maintenance, symptom perception and self-care management. However, current studies pay much focus on interventions such as motivational interviewing and behavioural activation to enhance the HF-related self-care and health outcomes which only produces short-term benefits. In fact, the lack of a sustainable effect from the self-care supportive interventions might be related the use of patient-centric design in these studies, which totally ignores the fact that HF management takes place in a dyadic context. To advance, active strategies were adopted to mobilize collaborative effort of the dyad in actual disease management. This study aims to evaluate the effects and cost-effectiveness of a Dyadic empowerment-based Heart Failure Management Program (De-HF) for self-care, health outcomes, and health service utilization among HF patients who require family support after hospital discharge. The De-HF program is based on the Theory of Dyadic Illness Management to enhance the congruence in illness perception and active dyadic collaboration in managing HF via both face-to-face and online platforms.
Utilizing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) paradigm, this 12-month study will adopt a mixed method Waitlist Randomized Control Trial (RCT) with a built-in acceptability and feasibility study to test the efficacy of Slow Art Plus in reducing stress and empowering self-care among 200 participants.
In this study, it was aimed to develop a reliable and valid scale to measure the self-care behaviors of women with endometriosis.
