    Analysis of the Relationship Between Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses' Team Work and Parent Participation Attitudes
    (Ataturk Univ, 2022) Coskun Simsek, Didem; Gunay, Ulviye
    Objective: This study was conducted to find out the relationship between neonatal intensive care nurses' attitudes about teamwork and their attitudes about parent participation. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 120 nurses working in the neonatal intensive care unit between November 2019 and April 2020. The Demographic Information Form, Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (TAQ), and Parent Participation Attitude Scale (PPAS) were used to collect the research data. For data analysis, descriptive statistical methods, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman's correlation test, and simple linear regression were used. Results: TAQ score averages (107.09 +/- 14.63) and PPAS score averages (84.98 +/- 7.31) of neonatal nurses were found to be high. The difference between nurses' age, marital status, level of education, and average daily number of patients they provided care for and their average TAQ score was found to be significant (P <.05) and the difference between nurses' demographic information and their average PPAS scores was not significant (P >.05). A positive weak association was found between nurses' average TAQ total score, average Team Structure and Communication subdimension scores and their average PPAS scores. A positive moderate association was found between nurses' average PPAS score, average Situation Monitoring sub-dimension score (P <.05). Conclusion: This study found that neonatal nurses support teamwork and parent participation. Teamwork perception and parent participation are important practices that can increase the quality of care in neonatal intensive care units, enable early discharge, and increase the satisfaction of the healthcare team and the family. These approaches should be reinforced in neonatal intensive care units and in all pediatric services in order to increase the quality of patient care.

    Experiences of nurses who have children when caring for COVID-19 patients
    (Wiley, 2021) Coskun Simsek, Didem; Gunay, Ulviye
    Aim: This study was conducted to examine the experiences and feelings of nurses who have children when caring for patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole world, including Turkey where this study was conducted. Nurses are among healthcare professionals who are intensively working at the forefront during this pandemic. Countries are implementing many policies to fight this pandemic. Turkey also has implemented protective measures related to travel, sports, and cultural activities and has prohibited social meetings. Method: The study was conducted with 26 nurses working in COVID-19 clinics of two hospitals in eastern Turkey between May and July 2020 using a qualitative descriptive design. Findings: Nurses who had children longed for their children and worried about them. They were afraid of getting infected with the disease and transmitting it. Based on content analysis, the themes of the study were determined as follows: (1) longing (longing for children and longing for the pre-pandemic period), (2) fear (fear of transmitting the disease and fear of death), (3) despair, (4) concern (concern resulting from working in a different clinic, concern resulting from lack of knowledge, and concern resulting from lack of protective equipment), and (5) professional responsibility (professional awareness and love for the profession). Conclusion: Nurses were away from their families for a long time because of the fear of getting infected with COVID-19 and transmitting it. They longed for their children and experienced desperation, fear, and anxiety. They loved their profession and were not considering quitting their profession. Implications for nursing and health policy: Nurses working in COVID-19 units wear protective equipment and work for a long time under difficult conditions. In addition, nurses who have children are separated from their children because of the fear of transmitting COVID-19. Therefore, nurses caring for COVID-19 patients should alternately be replaced by nurses working in other services. They should be given the opportunity to rest and spend time with their loved ones if they are not carriers of COVID-19.
