Filter by:Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of nursing intervention based on smoking cessation transtheoretical model in patients with COPD who smoke Method: Experimental design was used in the study. Thirty-three patients in the study group were completed with 35 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients in the control group. Sociodemographic characteristics data form, Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependency Test, Transteoretic Model Decision Making Scale, Self-efficacy Scale, Change Stages Scale and Behavior Modification Scale were used as data collection form. In the analysis of the data, the significance test of the difference between the two means, the significance test of the difference between two peers, the two-ratio test, Chi square, Mann Withney U test and Wilcoxon test were used. Results: Decision-making subscale scores, self-efficacy score scores, and behavior modification methods subscale scores showed significant increases (p<.05) in the decision-making subscale of the patients in the experimental group after the home nursing interventions (p<.05). While there was a significant improvement in the change stages, 9 patients in the experimental group and 2 patients in the control group had left the cigarette but the difference between them was significant (p<.05). What does this paper contribute? - Nursing interventions with home visits based on transtheoretical model supplied to quit smoking of patients - The nursing interventions with home visits based on transtheoretical model contributed positively to behavioral change in patients' smoking cessation.
Why is the research needed? - This study reflects the complexity of the process that patients with diabetes are experiencing when staying at home away from the supervision of health professionals. In this context, there is a gap in the literature on home care of diabetes. - The barriers, facilitators and the other perceptions that affect each diabetic's compliance with the disease-related recommendation are different. Nurses need to be aware of this. - For this reason, according to the Health Belief Model, an original study was conducted to evaluate the nursing intervention program's results on patient care and cost-effectiveness in a home for supporting self-management of diabetic patients. Hypotheses of the Study Patients with diabetes undergoing home-based nursing interventions in line with the Health Belief Model. H1: have higher mean scores for the Health Belief Model Scale than the control group. H2: have higher mean scores for the Self-Efficacy Scale than the control group. H3: have lower HbA1c levels than the control group. H4: have lower blood glucose levels (BGL) than the control group. H5: have lower blood pressure levels than the control group. H6: have lower BMI levels than the control group. H7: have fewer hospital admissions due to an acute or chronic complication than the control group. H8: have a lower complication-related cost rate than the control group.
Aim: The study was performed to examine effects of Health Belief Model based nursing interventions given at home visits on prevention of lymphedema in women having breast surgery. Methods: The study had an experimental design. 72 women receiving radiotherapy after breast surgery, of whom 37 formed the intervention group and 35 formed the control group. The study had an experimental design. Data were collected with a personal information questionnaire, Quick-Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (Q-DASH), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life for Breast Cancer 23 (EORTC QLQ-BR23), Strategies Used by Patients to Promote Health (SUPPH), Arm Circumference Form at three home visits at three-month intervals. Hypotheses of the study 1. Extremity function restrictions will be lower in the intervention group than in the control group. 2. Self-efficacy levels will be higher in the intervention group than in the control group. 3. Functions improving the quality of life will be higher in the intervention group than in the control group. 4. There will be fewer symptoms reducing the quality of life in the intervention group than in the control group. 5. The incidence of lymphedema will be lower in the intervention group than in the control group. 6. The mean cost of the intervention group at home visits, will be lower than in the control group. What does this paper contribute? - Nurses can play an effective role in enabling women undergoing breast surgery to acquire behavior of lymphedema prevention. This may reduce treatment costs. - Future research should evaluate collaborative models of care in general practice aimed at improving lymphedema prevention for women undergoing breast surgery. - Policymakers should consider introducing funding measures for breast cancer survivors by nurses.
