Öğe Breathing better: A tech-monitored study of positive expiratory pressure and reading aloud for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(Wiley, 2023) Ozden, Gurkan; Kilic, Serap ParlarBackgroundBreathing exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing and positive expiratory pressure (PEP), relieve breathlessness in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).AimThis study aimed to investigate the effects of breathing exercises with PEP and reading aloud on vital signs, fatigue level, severity of dyspnoea and respiratory function parameters in patients with COPD.DesignThe study followed a randomized controlled trial of COPD patients from a single hospital in eastern Turkey.MethodsThe study included 103 patients who were randomly assigned to receive pre-reading exercises, breathing exercises with a PEP device or no intervention for 8 weeks.ResultsThe use of a PEP device improved oxygen saturation, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) values and reduced fatigue and dyspnoea severity. Reading aloud lowered the mean arterial pressure and reduced fatigue and dyspnoea severity.ConclusionThe study concludes that PEP devices and reading aloud can improve respiratory function in patients with COPD. Additionally, reading aloud is an accessible, easy-to-implement and economically feasible method for treating COPD symptoms. What is already known about this topic?Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes cough, shortness of breath, fatigue and impaired exercise capacity. The most common symptoms are dyspnoea and fatigue.The treatment and prognosis of COPD require skilled nursing care. Breathing exercises guided by nurses relieved the symptoms.Information technologies are increasingly used for COPD monitoring and therapy. Remote patient monitoring, especially the use of wearables, can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditures.What this paper adds?Reading aloud and positive expiratory pressure (PEP) breathing exercises can improve vital signs and lung function in patients with COPD, with the latter being more effective.Wearable technologies for remote patient monitoring can help manage COPD and improve patient outcomes.The implications of this paper:Wearable technologies for remote patient monitoring can support COPD management and improve patient outcomes.Pulmonary exercise devices improve oxygen saturation, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) in COPD patients while reducing fatigue and dyspnoea. These devices help patients with COPD breathe easily.Reading aloud reduces fatigue, dyspnoea and mean arterial pressure. COPD patients can benefit from reading newspapers, magazines and novels aloud.Öğe Compassion in action: Exploring the relationship between nurse conscientious intelligence and palliative care(Wiley, 2024) Ozden, Gurkan; Kilic, Serap ParlarBackgorundConscience is a concept that is the foundation of nursing, guiding nurses to ethical practices, and helping them to provide the best professional care possible. Conscience enables nurses to be understanding and careful in patient care.AimThe study had three aims: (1) to determine the level of conscientious intelligence and palliative care practice of intensive care nurses; (2) to determine the effect of sociodemographic and occupational variables on conscientious intelligence and palliative care practices; and (3) to examine the relationship between conscientious intelligence and palliative care practice.MethodsThis study was designed as a descriptive-correlative study. The sample consisted of 157 nurses from a university hospital. The data were collected using questionnaire form, Conscientious Intelligence Scale and the Palliative Care Self-Reported Practices Scale between February and March 2021.ResultsBy the general multivariate linear model, while age, educational level, professional experience, total term of employment in the clinic, and training in palliative care were important predictors of palliative care practices, age and gender were significant predictors of conscientious intelligence. It was concluded that the level of palliative care practice of intensive care nurses with a high level of conscientiousness was also higher.ConclusionThe conscientious intelligence levels of intensive care nurses positively affected palliative care practices. It can be said that it is important for nurses to combine their conscience with their professional knowledge and skills while providing care services.Relevance to Clinical PracticeIn the realm of nursing, it is imperative for professionals to not only possess knowledge and competence, but also to act with conscience when caring for patients. This study demonstrated that nurses with heightened conscientious awareness are more adept at providing palliative care. Consequently, it is vital to support practices and training that foster conscientiousness among nurses, who must exercise patience and diligence in their careers.Öğe Do the online information searching strategies affect individual innovativeness in nursing students?(2019) Ozden, Gurkan; Cevik, Seher; Citlik Saritas, SeyhanAim: The study was conducted to determine the effect of online information searching strategies on individual innovativeness in students taking the course of information techniques in nursing.

Investigating the acceptance of XTx among patients from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of XTx among patients undergoing liver transplant (LT). Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between November 2022 and August 2023. The study population comprised LT patients aged >= 18 years who were admitted to the hepatology clinic of a university hospital in Turkey. Of the 360 patients (n = 360) interviewed, 351 were deemed eligible for inclusion. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, median, standard deviation, minimum-maximum, number, percentage, and Pearson's chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the patients, 78.3% were religious and adhered to religious requirements, and 87.2% considered their religious beliefs when making important decisions. In all, 41.3% of the participants believed that organ or tissue transplantation from animals to humans is ethical, while 70.1% of the participants believed that organ and tissue transplantation from non-halal animals to humans was impossible. Specifically, 56.7% would not allow organ or tissue transplantation from a non-halal animal to themselves or a relative. Knowledge and attitude towards XTx were not affected by transplantation type (p > .05), but were affected by sex and educational level (p < .05). Conclusion: This study found that LT patients generally oppose XTx. To enhance knowledge and awareness, religious leaders and healthcare professionals should organize comprehensive and effective seminars on this topic.Öğe The information literacy levels of nursing students who take the course on information techniques(2020) Ozden, Gurkan; Cevik, Seher; Gul, Ebru; Citlik Saritas, SeyhanAim: This study was conducted with the purpose of determining the information literacy levels of nursing students who take the course on information techniques in nursing and those who do not.
