    Effects of Aromatherapy and Music on Stress and Self-Esteem in Nursing Students
    (Slack Inc, 2026) Oner, Ugur; Aktura, Seher Cevik; Ozbay, Hediye; Erol, Ahmet
    Background: Nursing students frequently experience elevated anxiety during injection practices, which can negatively affect their performance and well-being. Exploring supportive, nonpharmacological interventions is crucial in clinical education. Method: This single-blind, pretest/ posttest, randomized controlled study included 102 firstyear nursing students (aromatherapy = 34, aromatherapy + music = 34, control = 34) at a state university. Data were collected using validated tools between February 28, 2025, and May 10, 2025. Statistical analyses included t tests, analysis of variance, and Bonferroni post-hoc tests. Results: Both intervention groups demonstrated a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure and anxiety levels compared to the control group (p < .001). Conclusion: Aromatherapy and music-assisted aromatherapy are effective in reducing anxiety and systolic blood pressure during injection practice. Integrating such complementary methods into nursing education may support students' psychological well-being and enhance clinical learning experiences.

    Perceived professional competence and workplace violence management ability among nursing students: a cross-sectional study
    (Bmc, 2026) Erol, Ahmet; Cengiz, Zeliha; Oner, Ugur
    Background Nursing students frequently face workplace violence during clinical practice, which may affect their professional competence and ability to manage such situations. Although workplace violence in nursing education has been studied, the relationship between students' professional competence and their violence management competence remains insufficiently explored. Therefore, this study aimed to examine this relationship in clinical practice. Methods This descriptive-correlational study used a convenience sampling method and included 223 nursing students from a public university between January and May 2024. Data were collected using the Student Information Form, the Competency Inventory for Nursing Students, and the Management of Workplace Violence Competence Scale. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, linear regression analysis, and group comparisons using ANOVA and independent t-tests. Results A moderate positive correlation was found between professional competence and violence management competence. The mean age of the students was 21.16 years; most were female (65%) and in their third or fourth year of study. Professional competence and violence management scores were slightly above the theoretical midpoints (M = 231.65, SD = 37.14; M = 98.23, SD = 13.48). Nearly half of the students (45.8%) reported exposure to workplace violence, most commonly verbal and psychological. Higher competence levels were descriptively observed based on self-reported self-confidence and problem-solving ability. Professional competence significantly predicted violence management competence (beta = 0.388, R & sup2; = 0.154, p < 0.001). Conclusions Professional competence and violence management are interrelated. Self-confidence, problem-solving ability, motivation, and passion for nursing showed descriptive associations with both competence measures.

    The Effect of the Difficulties Faced by Palliative Care Nurses on Perceived Quality of Palliative Care: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study
    (Wiley, 2025) Oner, Ugur; Cengiz, Zeliha; Erol, Ahmet
    AimThis study examined how the difficulties experienced by palliative care nurses while providing care affect the quality of palliative care perceived by nurses.BackgroundThe increase in chronic diseases with the ageing population has brought about a greater need for palliative care. Palliative care nurses play a central role in improving patients' quality of life, while also facing emotional and physical challenges. The impact of these challenges on nurses' job satisfaction and the quality of care provided constitutes a critical area of research for understanding the effectiveness of palliative care services.MethodThe study was conducted in a descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational design with nurses working in palliative care services (N = 243) in T & uuml;rkiye between October 2023 and March 2024. The data were collected through an introductory form, The Palliative Nursing Care Quality Scale and the Palliative Care Difficulties Scale. The relationship between the two variables was examined using Pearson correlation analysis, while the impact of palliative care challenges and education level on perceived palliative care quality was investigated through multiple linear regression analysis.ResultsIn this study, the data were normally distributed and it was found that the nurses' total mean score was 72.42 +/- 8.26 (min: 18-max: 90) on the Palliative Nursing Care Quality Scale and 40.85 +/- 10.50 (min: 15-max: 75) on the Palliative Care Difficulties Scale. Total mean palliative care quality score was found to be significantly higher among nurses with postgraduate degrees. Moreover, the palliative care difficulty scores were significantly higher for males, nurses with palliative experience of 1 year or less, and those who did not select the palliative care unit willingly. A negative correlation was observed between the nurses' quality of palliative care and their palliative care difficulties.ConclusionIt was seen that perceived quality of palliative care decreased as the difficulties encountered in palliative care increased. It is recommended to develop training programmes tailored for nurses and ensure continuous professional development to reduce the difficulties nurses face in palliative care and enhance the perceived quality of palliative care.

    The Effects of Aromatherapy with Thyme Oil on Disease Symptoms, Vital Findings, and Hemodynamic Parameters in COVID-19 Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2025) Öner, Uǧur; Cengiz, Zeliha; Erol, Ahmet
    The present study aimed to determine the effects of aromatherapy through thyme oil inhalation on respiratory symptoms, hemodynamic parameters and vital signs in COPD patients. The pre-test post-test randomized controlled experimental study was conducted with inpatients COPD (intervention group = 60, control group = 60). Data were collected using the "Patient Information Form", "COPD Symptoms Form", and "Hemodynamic Parameters and Vital Signs Monitoring Form"as well as a saturation device. Following the pre-test, patients in the intervention group inhaled thyme oil 3 times a day for 5 days but the control group did not receive anything. COPD symptoms and hemodynamic parameters were measured on the fifth day as the post-test. Vital signs were measured and recorded 3 times every day over 5 days. It was found that thyme oil application through inhalation significantly reduced all COPD symptoms (dyspnea, cough, secretion, etc.) in the intervention group compared to the control group. pH and O2 levels were higher while CO2 levels were lower in the intervention group, and as of the third day, saturation levels were higher whereas respiratory rates were lower. In this regard, thyme oil is recommended as a non-pharmacological treatment method for COPD patients. Copyright © 2025 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
