The Internet shows its presence in areas where human beings are actively involved, from education to health, from entertainment to the investment sector. The integration of the Internet into many areas of human life leads to its intensive use. According to the Global Digital Report, the number of individuals with access to the Internet worldwide at the beginning of 2024 is stated as 5.35 billion, and this number constitutes more than 66% of the total world population. One of the pioneering studies on internet addiction was conducted by Young. In this study, five subtypes of internet addiction were identified. These are cyber sex addiction (obsessive use of adult sites such as cyber sex, cyber porn), cyber relationship addiction (excessive involvement in online relationships), net compulsions (online gambling, shopping and trading), information overload (on websites). and constantly surfing databases) and computer addiction (playing computer games). Considering the sub-dimensions of internet addiction, it is seen that it affects many areas of life, from family life to interpersonal relationships, from social life to economic life. Conscious awareness is the awareness of one's internal state and environment. Mindfulness can help people avoid destructive or automatic habits and reactions by learning to observe their thoughts, feelings, and other momentary experiences without judging or reacting. Acting based on awareness is a much different way of life than the autopilot approach in which the individual carries out his daily routines and activities. In studies, mindfulness is examined not only to prevent the recurrence of addiction, but also as a long-term, ongoing health behavior that supports the recovery of addiction. Determining the effect of a mindfulness-based intervention program applied to adolescent nursing students studying at a university on internet addiction and awareness. is intended.

The positive effects of coffee on general health, central nervous system, cardiovascular system and bowel movements in healthy people are known. In a few studies conducted in recent years, it is stated that coffee consumption is a safe and effective method for accelerating bowel movements after surgical intervention. It is known that many plants have been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times in the world. Among these plants is fennel (foeniculum vulgare). The fennel plant was used as a spice in Greece and Rome, as well as recognized and used for medicinal purposes. Fennel, dyspeptic ailments; it is effective in spasmodic gastrointestinal complaints, bloating, gas and upper respiratory tract disorders This research; A randomized controlled study was planned to evaluate the effects of Turkish coffee and fennel tea consumption on patients' gastrointestinal functions and healing quality after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

The integration of teleconsultation (TC) and telemonitoring (TM) in cancer patients care may allow to improve person-centered care and patients' empowerment. The eCAN JA explores the role of telemedicine tools (i.e. TC & TM) in clinical trials focusing on tele-rehabilitation and tele-psychological support in different populations of cancer patients in 10 European countries. The pilots will be conducted among 354 patients affected by breast (BC, pilot 1a), head & neck (H&N, pilot 1b) and advanced (pilot 2) cancers. The main aim is to assess the effect of TC and TM program focused on rehabilitation and psychological support for cancer patients on patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in three pilots compare to usual care. Patients will be randomly assigned either to the intervention or control groups using a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the intervention group will receive weekly TC of 30 minutes during 8 weeks through the secure Edumeet platform. In pilot 1, tele-rehabilitation training will be performed by a remote physiotherapist and will consist of a series of rehabilitation exercises. In pilot 2, tele-psychological support will be performed by a remote psychologist and will consist of techniques for managing emotions and stress. In the intervention group, patients will also have the possibility to wear a smartwatch to automatically collect physical parameters. Patients in the control group will receive usual care. PROMs (i.e. quality of life, distress and pain) and physical parameters (i.e. physical activity, sleep quality and heart rate) will be monitored by a dedicated telemonitoring systems. A secure web platform will provide dashboard to clinicians for decision support. Patients' experience and costs data will be also collected. The results of the eCAN project will improve our knowledge on benefits and risks for TC and TM in cancer patients care.
Patient safety is one of the indispensable parts of nursing education. Educating future healthcare professionals about patient safety is very important in terms of providing safe and quality service. In order to include patient safety in the education of nursing students and to determine the effectiveness of the education given, it is necessary to regularly evaluate their knowledge, skills and attitudes about patient safety. At this point, this study was planned in order to increase the awareness of senior nursing students about patient safety before graduation, to evaluate their knowledge, skills and attitudes, to improve the quality of patient care after graduation, and to help minimize or eliminate the possibility of making medical errors. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the flipped education model on the patient safety competencies of nursing students and their satisfaction with the education method.
