The empathic tendencies and skills of nursing students
No full textThe objective of this two-staged study was to examine effects of problem-based learning (PBL) on empathy of nursing students. ET (Empathic tendency) and ES (Empathic skill) scales were used to collect data. The first stage of the study was descriptive and longitudinal (n = 20). There were significant differences in ET average between the years. There were also significant differences in ES average between the first and second, and third and fourth year Students. The second stage of the study was descriptive and cross-sectional (n = 192). There were no significant differences in ET means between the years of the program, but there were Significant differences in ES points between the years of the program. It can be concluded that nursing students exposed to PBL develop empathic skills through the years of the PBL program
Relationship Between Stress, Hormons and and Labor
Get PDFYoksulluk, uzun süreli algılanan stres ve anksiyete, olumsuz sosyal yaşam deneyimi, eğitim eksikliği, sağlık çalışanlarının olumsuz tutumugibi stres yaratan durumlar preterm doğum görülme oranlarını arttırmaktadır. Stres doğumdaki sağlık davranışlarının da değişmesine nedenolabilir. Stres, kotrikotropin-relasing hormonun artışına neden olmakta bu da uterus kontraksiyonlarının artmasına neden olmaktadır. Stresaynı zamanda oksitosin, prostoglandin, hormonlarının salınımını arttırıp, beta-endorfin, progesteron gibi hormonların salınımını azaltır vebuna bağlı olarak da olumsuz doğum sonuçlarına yol açabilir. Bu makalede stresin doğum fizyolojisi ve patofizyolojisi ile ilişkisi, kronikstrese bağlı doğum meydana gelen durumlar ve bunlara yönelik hemşirelik uygulamaları tartışılacaktır. Chronic stressors—such as poverty, ongoing perceived stress and anxiety, negative social life experience, lack of Education,negative attitude of health workers—are associated with an increased of preterm birth. Stress may change health behaviors thatlead to birth. Stress increases corticotrophin-releasing hormone and may ultimately result in increased uterine contractility.Stress also increases oxitocin, prostaglandin, and decreases beta-endorphin, progesterone hormones which dependently maylead to negative birth outcomes. This article discusses the concepts of stress, the physiology of labor initiation, and the pathphysiologic interactions that may contribute to the occurrence of chronic stress-related birth and the implications for nursingpractic
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Labor Support: An Aplication is Starting Again Come into Prominence
No full textLabor support is more important care for maternal, fetal and neonatal. This implemenatation is new for our country but foreign literature is examined it's impact of birth outcomes. The number of research which investigating the importance of labor support is very limited in our country. However, mother-child health begins in the delivery room. Labor support's objectives, benefits, types and its effect are known by nurses and midwives are worked in the delivery room is extremely important. Also labor support's types and content is important to health professionals to plan the intrapartum care. Labor support is taken in hand all aspects in this review and according to time to the labor support is first presented in this studies in our country
Development and Testing of Women's Perception for the Scale of Supportive Care Given During Labor
No full textThe aim of this study was to develop and validate women's perceptions of the supportive care received during labor. This study had a methodological design. A total of 360 women giving birth at two state hospitals in 2012 participated. Written permission was obtained from the Ethics Committee, the hospitals, and the participants. Data were collected via participant characteristics forms and the Scale of Women's Perception for Supportive Care Given During Labor. Content validity of the scale (0.94) was achieved with expert views. Three factors-comfortable behaviors, education, and disturbing behaviors-were exposed to exploratory factor analysis, and factor loading varied between 0.38 and 0.76. The factor structures were confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's coefficient was 0.94 for the scale, 0.92 for comforting behaviors, 0.85 for education, and 0.87 for disturbing behaviors. The correlation coefficient between the first and second part of the scale was 0.80. Item-total point correlations of the scale varied between 0.42 and 0.77. The scale was valid and reliable for measuring women's perception of supportive care given during labor. It can be used to determine the care aspects that midwives/nurses should develop, to improve the quality of care, and to help women have more positive labor experiences and higher labor satisfaction.

Feelings, thoughts and experiences of women diagnosed with adnexal mass: A qualitative study
No full textAdnexal masses have a risk of malignancy, especially in postmenopausal women, thus affecting the physical, psychological, and social lives of women with such masses. In addition, patients require a long duration of hospitalization during treatment. In earlier studies, researchers have focused on the experiences of newly diagnosed women or the side effects of treatment. However, women?s experiences during the hospitalization period have been ignored. In this study we explored the feelings, thoughts, experiences, and nursing care needs of women hospitalized with adnexal mass diagnosis. In this qualitative study, interviews were conducted with 11 women hospitalized for an adnexal mass or ovarian cancer diagnosis. The feelings, thoughts, and experiences of the women were negatively affected. They were more likely to rely on internal motivation and had lesser expectations of professional support. Thus, nurses should provide women with this diagnosis social support and facilitate their adaptation to the hospital. The diagnosis and treatment of adnexal masses is a complex process that requires teamwork. Therefore, navigator nurses can be of great help to women during their illness
Care Needs of Women with Suspected or Diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer During Hospitalization: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study
No full textPurpose: This study aimed to identify care needs of women with ovarian cancer and suspected ovarian cancer during hospitalization according to the Roy Adaptation Model (RAM). Material and Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out two university hospitals in İzmir, in Turkey. The sample included 100 women with ovarian cancer or suspected ovarian cancer in hospitalized. Care Needs of Women with Ovarian Cancer Questionnaire was used. We used descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results: This study used RAM to examine care needs across four compliance domains: physiologic, self- concept, role functions, and interdependence. The diagnoses of “disturbance in sleep pattern and fatigue” were evaluated within the physiological mode; the diagnoses of “lack of knowledge regarding diagnosis and treatment process” were evaluated within the self-concept mode; the diagnoses of “decrease in continuity of family processes, inadequacy in fulfilling roles” were evaluated within the role function mode; and the diagnosis of “change in perception of femininity” was evaluated within the interdependence mode. Conclusion: According to RAM, the nurse's interventions tailored to the patient's needs can effectively ensure the patient's compliance with the treatment process and meet their needs
