Öğe Behaviours and experiences of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey: A mixed methods study(Wiley-Hindawi, 2021) Cengiz, Zeliha; Isik, Kevser; Gurdap, Zuleyha; Yayan, Emriye HilalAim The aim of this work is to present behaviours and experiences of nurses in Turkey during the current coronavirus pandemic. Background The coronavirus pandemic leads to difficulties for most health care workers, especially for nurses who mostly accompany patients and are on the front line. Methods In the study, a parallel mixed pattern converging quantitative and qualitative research methods was used. Results The model revealed that 41 years old or older, diabetic, female, single professionals, working in the pandemic department took more personal measures. Five main themes appeared regarding the experiences of the nurses during the pandemic period: (1) psychological and mental strain; (2) personal protective equipment; (3) organizational, physical, and social strains; (4) change in professional values; (5) turning the crisis into an opportunity. Conclusions Personal measures are associated with the risk status. There is a need to protect nurses with significant measures by providing psychosocial support, meeting their basic needs, and preventing all complications likely to occur due to increasing workload. Implications for Nursing Management More efforts should be made to ensure good work, fair treatment, no tolerance for discrimination, and equal compensation conditions.Öğe Challenges experienced by nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic(Wiley, 2022) Cengiz, Zeliha; Gurdap, Zuleyha; Isik, KevserPurpose This study was conducted to assess the challenges faced by nursing students during the pandemic and to examine the factors affecting these challenges.

Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and regression and correlation analyses were used to analyze the data. Syrian refugees had high levels of hopelessness, particularly motivation loss, and moderate levels of perceived social support. As perceived social support increased, hopelessness, feelings, expectations about the future, and motivation loss decreased. In accordance with these results, hopes of Syrian refugees for the future can be increased by improving their social support system.Öğe The effect of anxiety levels of elderly people in quarantine on depression during covid-19 pandemic(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Yildirim, Hilal; Isik, Kevser; Aylaz, RukuyeThis study aims to determine the effect on depression of elderly people's anxiety levels in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive study, in which data were collected using the online survey method, an introductory information form, a semistructured data form for COVID-19, the Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Data were collected during the period when a curfew was imposed for the elderly. Data were analyzed using a structural equation model. According to the structural equation model, anxiety was determined as a predictor of depression. The anxiety levels of the elderly who were 65-74 years old, female, single; had insufficient knowledge about the pandemic; and had not encountered a similar outbreak before considered that family relationships were affected negatively so they became lonely and reported that they became bored, exhausted, and distressed during the pandemic, which increased their depression levels. Anxiety affects depression in the elderly. Therefore, it is recommended to provide them with appropriate psychological support interventions and understandable information about the pandemic so that their anxiety and depression levels can be reduced during the pandemic.Öğe The effect of frailty levels of older individuals on their mental well-being and depression levels(Wiley, 2024) Ayik, Derya Bicak; Cengiz, Zeliha; Isik, KevserBackground: Frailty has become an important public health issue. This study was conducted to determine the effect of frailty levels of older individuals on their mental well-being and depression levels. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 325 older individuals aged 60 years and over. A demographic questionnaire form, the FRAIL Frailty Scale, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, and the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form were used to collect data. Data were evaluated using the SPSS 25.0 package program. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were used. Results: The mean age of the older individuals was 69.56 +/- 7.75 years, and the variables of age, education level, income status, the person they were living with, regular medication use, forgetting to take medication, urinary incontinence, hospitalisation, and accidents were found to affect both frailty and depression (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between frailty and depression (r: 0.460, P < 0.001) and a negative correlation between mental frailty and well-being (r: -0.391, P < 0.001). Socio-demographic variables, depression, and mental well-being had a 40% effect on frailty (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Depression status and mental well-being level are related to frailty, so negativity in one of them negatively affects the other. In line with these results, it is recommended to determine the level of depression and mental well-being of older individuals with high risk of frailty, and according to the results of the research, to provide care and support regarding the predictors affecting frailty.Öğe The effect of home care based on the Neuman systems model on symptomatic relief and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis(Makerere Univ, Fac Med, 2020) Isik, Kevser; Erci, BehiceBackground: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is an important common health problem with high morbidity and mortality rate in the world and in Turkey.

Design and Methods The study was completed with a total of 537 students. A descriptive questionnaire and the Emotional Eating Scale were used. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were used. Finding It was found that emotional eating was positively correlated with body mass index and weight. It was determined that variables such as will, anger, body mass index, and weight were predictors of emotional eating. Practical Implications Emotional eating is a coping response with negative emotions. It is suggested that will is the most important factor affecting emotional eating. Thus, psychological dimension of wrong eating habit should definitely be addressed.Öğe The effects of Turkish classical music on physiological parameters, pain and analgesic use in patients with myocardial infarction: A non-randomized controlled study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2018) Citlik-Saritas, Seyhan; Saritas, Serdar; Cevik-Akyil, Rahsan; Isik, KevserIntroduction: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of listening to music on pain, analgesic use and physiological states on Turkish people with myocardial infarction. Methods: This study was a non-randomized controlled clinical trial and was conducted in a coronary intensive care unit in a university hospital. The study was conducted with a total of 500 patients; 250 in the experimental group; 250 in the control group; participants were aged between 18 and 79 years; and able to speak, read and write Turkish. The control group received routine care after myocardial infarction while the experimental group listened instrumental Turkish classical music for 30 min in coronary intensive care. The choice of music was made by the researchers. The music, a classical instrumental Turkish music, (Zirgillemakamt) was soft, relaxing, and included instrumental melodies of 60-80 beats per minute (bpm) and was for 30 min with a volume of 50-60 dB. Face-to-face interviews and then Personal Sociodemographic characteristics and Visual Analog Scale were used to collect data. Results: After the music listening, pain, analgesic use, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse averages of the patients were decreased and oxygen saturation averages between the groups were increased and differences between groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: These findings support the use of music as an independent nursing intervention to manage pain, analgesic use and physiological states in patients after myocardial infarction. Listening to music during and after myocardial infarction can effectively reduce pain, analgesic use, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse levels. Thus listening music may be a useful tool for coronary intensive care nursing.Öğe Psychometric evaluation of the healthy aging instrument in older adults(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2021) Yildirim, Hilal; Isik, Kevser; Cengizhan, Sidika OzlemThis methodological study was conducted for the psychometric evaluation of the Healthy Aging Instrument in older adults.
