    The Effect of Moving Meditation Exercise on Depression and Sleep Quality of the Elderly A Randomized Controlled Study
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Kerkez, Mujde; Erci, Behice
    The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of moving meditation exercise training on depression level and sleep quality in the elderly individuals. The present research was carried out between March 2021 and June 2022 as a randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 114 individuals 65 years of age and older who were registered to 2 family health centers in a province. The Introductory Information Form, Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale (Katz ADL), International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used in the study. After the 6-week intervention, participants who were in the moving meditation exercise group had lower depression and had good Sleep Quality intensity scores than those in the control group. The average depression, subjective sleep quality, sleep disorder, and overall sleep quality significantly decreased over time in the moving meditation exercise group (P < .05). Moving meditation exercise may reduce the depression level of elderly individuals and improve sleep quality. These results show that moving meditation exercise can be a supportive method for traditional treatments. In consideration of the growing health economy, it may be recommended that nurses incorporate this exercise in their professional practice and compare long-term results with other complementary practices in the Turkish population.

    Evaluation of discharge training given by nurses to postpartum mothers to artificial intelligence: an alternative approach to health care
    (Bmc, 2025) Kerkez, Mujde; Kaplan, Mehmet
    ObjectiveThe present study aims to evaluate the discharge training given by nurses to postpartum mothers using artificial intelligence.MethodThe study used a qualitative research design with a descriptive thematic approach and was conducted in a state hospital's maternity ward between April and May 2024. Sixteen nurses with varying experience levels were selected through maximum variation sampling. Data were analyzed using coding and thematic analysis to understand participants' experiences.ResultsAmong the nurses, 81.25% held a bachelor's degree, 43.75% had 6-10 years of experience. Postpartum discharge training emphasized baby cues, sleep management, hygiene, and routine health checks. For maternal care, focus was on rest, vaccinations, avoiding heavy activity, psychological support, exercise, and nutrition. AI provided more comprehensive guidance in both maternal and infant care.ConclusionThis study highlights that AI-assisted guidance is a valuable tool in postpartum discharge training, offering effective general advice. However, human input remains essential for specific and practical recommendations.

    Health Effects of Tai Chi Qigong Practices and Its Reflections on Nursing Practices
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Kerkez, Mujde; Okuyan, Canan Birimoglu; Erci, Behice
    This systematic review was conducted to examine the effects of Tai Chi Qigong (TCQi) practices on health and their reflections on nursing practices. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials for TCQi included quantitative English-language studies from 2012 to 2021 using 7 electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Ebrary, Elsevier, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Scopus). Seven studies were selected to review the effects of TCQi exercise applied by nurses in the presence of symptoms that worsen the general health status of individuals or develop secondary to chronic diseases: sleep disturbance, depression, fatigue symptoms, deterioration in the quality of life, worsening of self-care behaviors, and stress symptoms. Evidence on the use of the TCQi practices is limited, and the proof of its preferability over other integrative methods in care practices by nurses is not at the desired level. Therefore, this systematic review emphasizes further research on the risks and benefits of TCQi practices as with other integrative methods, so that TCQi practices, which are easier to apply than other mind-body practices, can be preferred by nurses.
