    (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.

    The effects of aromatherapy with thyme oil on disease symptoms, vital findings, and hemodynamic parameters in COVID-19 patients
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Oner, Ugur; Cengiz, Zeliha
    Objective: To determine the effect of aromatherapy with thyme oil on disease symptoms, vital signs, and hemodynamic parameters in COVID-19 patients. Methods: We conducted the randomized controlled trial with 140 (experimental group=70, control group=70) COVID-19 patients. Patients admitted to the COVID-19 service of the Batman Training and Research Hospital were included in the sample between 31.01 - 31.08 2022. Patients in the experimental group inhaled thyme oil 3 times a day during 5 days. At the end of day 5, symptoms and hemodynamic parameters were measured as posttest. Vital signs were measured 3 times a day during 5 days. The control group only received routine treatment. Results: Thyme oil was found to be effective in relieving symptoms of shortness of breath, dizziness, secretion, diarrhea, weakness, loss of appetite, cough, headache and muscle joint pain. Although there was improvement in the symptoms of nausea-vomiting, runny nose and loss of taste-smell, the effect was not statistically significant. Thyme oil significantly decreased body temperature, pulse rate and respiratory rate (p<0.05), increased SPO 2 (p<0.05), and did not affect systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p>0.05). It had a significant effect on the regulation of pH, decreased CO2 and increased O-2 significantly (p<0.05). Conclusion: Thyme oil aromatherapy was effective in reducing symptoms, regulating vital signs and hemodynamic parameters. Accordingly, thyme oil is recommended as non-pharmacological treatment method in COVID19 patients.

    Nurses' attitudes toward artificial intelligence applications and their clinical decision-making competence: A cross-sectional study
    (Churchill Livingstone, 2026) Gurdap, Zuleyha; Oner, Ugur
    Background: The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare has generated interest in its potential role within nursing practice, particularly in relation to clinical decision-making and care delivery processes. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between nurses' attitudes toward AI and their clinical decision-making tendencies. Design: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study. Methods: Data were collected from 323 nurses working in various clinical units of a training and research hospital in Turkey. The Artificial Intelligence Attitude Scale for Nurses and the Nursing Decision-making Instrument were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses. Results: The mean score for nurses' attitudes toward AI was 107.19 +/- 24.43, indicating a generally positive attitude. For clinical decision-making, the mean score was 67.17 +/- 7.12, indicating an analytical decision-making tendency. A strong and significant negative correlation was found between attitudes toward AI and decision-making scores (r = -0.662, p < 0.001). Consistent with the instrument's scoring, these lower scores reflect an analytical decision-making tendency. Simple linear regression analysis demonstrated that attitudes toward AI significantly predicted decision-making scores, explaining 43.8% of the total variance. Additionally, marital status, educational level, professional experience, and clinical unit were significantly associated with both AI attitudes and decision-making tendencies (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate that nurses generally report positive attitudes toward AI, and that these attitudes are associated with analytical tendencies in clinical decision-making. AI technologies may function as supportive tools in clinical practice and may be associated with patient safety and care quality. Integrating AI-related competencies into nursing education may support evidence-based and systematic clinical decision-making.

    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 effect of thyme oil on asthma symptoms and respiratory parameters in patients with asthma: a single-blind randomised controlled trial
    (Elsevier Gmbh, 2026) Oner, Ugur; Gurdap, Zuleyha; Cengi, Zeliha
    Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of thyme oil inhalation as a complementary aromatherapy method in reducing asthma symptoms and improving respiratory function in hospitalised patients with asthma. Materials and methods A single-blind, placebo-controlled, pretest-posttest randomised controlled trial was conducted in the pulmonary ward of a tertiary hospital between 01 November 2024 and 20 May 2025. A total of 156 patients diagnosed with asthma were randomly assigned to three groups: intervention (n = 52), placebo (n = 52), and control (n = 52). The intervention group received thyme oil inhalation three times daily for four days. The placebo group received a neutral carrier oil inhalation, while the control group received routine care. Data were collected using standardised forms. Posttest evaluations were conducted on day four. Results After controlling for pretest scores, weight, and smoking habits using ANCOVA, the intervention group showed significant reductions in asthma symptoms, including dyspnoea, cough, nocturnal and chest wheezing, and secretion, compared with placebo and control groups (P < 0.05). Respiratory function, particularly forced expiratory volume in one second and forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ratios, also improved. Conclusion Thyme oil inhalation appears to be an effective, safe, and nonpharmacological complementary therapy for asthma management. These findings suggest that thyme oil can significantly improve both clinical symptoms and respiratory function test results. It may be recommended as supportive care alongside standard asthma treatments. Further large-scale, long-term studies are necessary to establish optimal protocols and confirm these results.
