Filter by:Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure a baby's health and survival, and breast milk is the ideal food for babies. It is recommended to start breastfeeding within the first hour of life, following skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the newborn immediately after birth. Newborns transition from the dark, narrow and fluid-filled intrauterine environment to the wide, bright, cold and dry extrauterine life during the birth process. Thus, in addition to invasive procedures such as heel lance, vascular access, etc., including the birth process, simple and routine procedures such as separation from its mother in a short time to measure body weight cause stress for the newborn. For this reason, it is recommended that newborns should not be separated from their mothers except for important medical reasons, and that skin-to-skin contact should be initiated as soon as possible after birth so that the newborn can cope with the "birth stress". Hyperbilirubinemia, as physiological jaundice, usually begins in the first 24-72 hours of life in term newborns. It peaks in the following days and starts to decrease in the following days. Colostrum, which is a natural laxative found in breast milk, facilitates the removal of meconium in the newborn and provides bilirubin excretion with stool. With early skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn in the first minutes of life after birth; Nurses have a key role in reducing the level of "birth stress" experienced by the newborn and in reducing the severity of hyperbilirubinemia by starting breastfeeding early.
This study aimed to evaluate how an educational intervention based on the existing evidence-based guidelines, using both active and passive educational implementetion strategies, could improve the knowledge of nurses regarding managing ETT cuff pressure control. Hypothesis H1: There is a difference between the training given with the active and passive implementation strategies method in improving the endotracheal cuff pressure control knowledge of intensive care nurses.
A pressure sore was localized skin and/or subcutaneous tissue injury, usually caused by pressure alone or a combination of shear and pressure, at bony prominences. Pressure sores, which are an indicator of the quality of health care, increase mortality, morbidity and cost. Pressure ulcers are the most common problem in intensive care patients and should be prevented. In the literature, the incidence of pressure ulcers in intensive care patients is between 1-59.9%. A pressure sore is a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue, usually over a bony prominence or associated with medical or other devices. This injury occurs when intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure is accompanied by shear. Soft tissue tolerance to pressure and shear; temperature and humidity can affect nutrition, perfusion, concomitant conditions, and condition of soft tissue. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of pressure ulcers and influencing factors in patients hospitalized in the 3rd level intensive care unit of a university hospital. Design: It is a descriptive, prospective, observational type study. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 176 patients aged 18 years and above, 24 hours after hospitalization in the intensive care units of a University Hospital. Patient Information Form and Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk, Glasgow Coma Scale were used to collecting data. Statistical Package in statistical analysis for the social sciences 20.0 program was used.
Schizophrenia causes hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, resulting in decreased functioning and lifelong therapy.Delusion believability is the degree of belief in the truth of one's subjective experiences as representations of reality. It was unpleasant, typically accompanied by a suspicious, strange tension. Delusional belief is seen as a means of resolving tension and conflict in cognition and experience. Previous studies have shown that cognitive defusion strategies help people become more aware of their surroundings, accept their thoughts and feelings, and become more psychologically adjustable. defusion is crucial in reducing medication-resistant psychotic symptoms such delusions in schizophrenia patients. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of cognitive defusion techniques on psychological flexibility, mindful awareness, cognitive fusion, and believability of delusions among clients with schizophrenia. Research Hypothesizes - Clients who participated in cognitive defusion techniques had more psychological flexibility and mindful awareness than the control group. - Clients who participated in cognitive defusion techniques had less cognitive fusion and delusional believability than the control group.
This observational study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of a new infant feeding tool called "SMART Tool" in the neonatal intensive care unit.

To establish psychometrics of the new tool by doing reliability and validity tests.
Work and family are the two most influential aspects of a person's life. The conflict between work and family can adversely affect an organization's and an individual's health and well-being. Research is necessary to describe, understand, and address work-family conflict because it arises from how people perceive it. Studies on social adjustment for healthcare staff and nursing interns are scarce in Egypt, according to researchers. Recently, ACT has been utilized to treat various psychological issues and challenges at work, among others. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of virtual group-based acceptance and commitment therapy on intern nurses' social adjustment and work-family conflict. Research Hypothesizes Intern nurses who engaged in a virtual group-based acceptance and commitment therapy will exhibit lower level of family-work conflict than the control group. Intern nurses who engaged in a virtual group-based acceptance and commitment therapy will exhibit a higher level of social adjustment than the control group.
Surgical treatment is applied in 15% of individuals diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of Su Jok application, which is one of the non-drug methods, in reducing or completely eliminating pain and anxiety after lumbar disc surgery and increasing the quality of recovery.The universe of the study, between November 2022 and June 2023, Istanbul Kartal Dr. Patients with lumbar disc surgery will be recruited in the Neurosurgery Clinic of Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital. Data will be obtained with Introductory Information Form, McGill Pain Scale Short Form (SF-MPQ), Visual Analog Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS), STAII State Anxiety Scale, Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QOR-40). The individual who will undergo lumbar disc surgery will be visited in the clinic one day before the surgery and will be informed about the study. The sampled individuals will be included in the intervention and control groups using a random number table created with MS Excel software. Su Jok will be applied to the patients included in the intervention group at the third hour after the operation. Before the application, Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QOR-40), McGill Pain Scale Short Form and STAII State Anxiety Scale will be administered. After the application, the pain levels of the patients will be re-evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and their anxiety levels will be re-evaluated with the STAII State Anxiety Scale. On the first and second days after the surgery, the patients will be visited again in the clinic and the Quality of Healing Questionnaire (QOR-40), Visual Analog Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and STAII State Anxiety Scales will be administered before the Su Jok application, and then the Su Jok application will be repeated.After the application, the pain levels of the patients will be re-evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and their anxiety levels will be re-evaluated with the STAII State Anxiety Scale. Patients will be interviewed again at the control appointment 10 days after discharge, and their quality of recovery will be determined using the Quality of Healing Questionnaire (QOR-40). In the control group, pain, anxiety and healing quality levels will be determined in the same periods without any application.
The Internet is a social environment as well as a tool. In this digital environment, where students interact with each other, live, and generally comprehend their cultures, college students learn information. The Internet has become essential to college students' daily lives and education. The World Health Organization (WHO) has cautioned that increased screen usage and gaming may occur during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to this, there is an increased chance of Internet and gaming addiction, leading to more distress and concern for students' psychological well-being. Therefore, university students needed an intervention program to overcome these problems. The researchers in the present study will use distress tolerance. Distress tolerance (DT) is defined as one's ability to continue engaging in goal-directed behavior in the face of emotional, cognitive, or physical discomfort. Eventually, the present study aimed to The present study aims to: Assess the impact of distress tolerance training on problematic internet use and psychological wellbeing among university nursing students. Research Hypothesis: Nursing students who receive distress tolerance training will exhibit lower problematic internet use and better psychological wellbeing than those who didn't receive it

Due to the separation of the mother and the baby after the cesarean section, initiation of breastfeeding by the mother of the newborn in the first hour of life is delayed. The rate of cesarean section in Turkey has increased to 52%, according to the 2019 data of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the rate of cesarean section has increased to 31.7% in the world and up to 65% in the USA. It has been reported in the literature that cesarean deliveries are performed with general, spinal and epidural anesthesia types, and the Apgar scores of newborns after cesarean section performed with spinal and epidural anesthesia are high. In this context, the nurse has a key role in initiating and maintaining breastfeeding after early SSC between the mother and the newborn within the first hour following the cesarean section performed with spinal anesthesia. In the literature, there are studies reporting that skin-to-skin contact applied after normal delivery increases the sucking success of newborns, the successful breastfeeding rate, and the rate of exclusive breastfeeding. There are studies examining the effect of early skin-to-skin contact applied after cesarean section on the suckling success of the newborn and only breastfeeding. Breastfeeding self-efficacy refers to a woman's confidence in her ability to breastfeed her baby. It is reported in the literature that skin-to-skin contact and only breastfeeding education have an effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy.
