Depression is the most frequent disorder among mental disorders, with frequent attacks, high suicidal risks, causing loss of labour-force, as well as to loss of serious physical and psycho-social skills, and also is economically and socially overcosting. The aim of nursing care for depression diagnosed patients is to provide security, to support their independence as much as possible, to help the patient rebuild the harmony at pre-diagnosis level, and to continue their well-being. This case applied to the hospital after an attempt to commit suicide, having continuous thoughts of suicide, guilt feelings, unhappiness, unwillingness, and was hospitalised with a diagnosis of medium depressive seizure. The patient was evaluated via nursing care model of Gordon's Functional Health Patterns on the second day of hospitalisation, and was diagnosed with 'Nutrition, imbalanced: less than body requirements, hopelessness, decrease in self-esteem, impaired social interaction, risk of self-harm, ineffective individual coping'. Nursing care was applied to the medication administered patient within the framework of nursing diagnosis. It was seen that the applied care provided positive support to the healing process of the patient.

Aim: The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of nursing education on the improvement of students' critical thinking skills in Turkey by using the meta-analysis method.

Method: The literature screening was carried out in online databases using the keywords "nursing", "student", "critical thinking", "Turkey" in English and their Turkish equivalents "hemşirelik", "öğrenci", "eleştirel düşünme", "Türkiye" respectively. Quantitative studies matching the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The number of the participants in those studies was 3792 (2183 first-year students and 1609 last-year students). For the analysis of the data, the CMA (Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software) statistical package program was used. While the Q and I2 tests were used to test the homogeneity of the studies, the Classic Fail-Safe N test and Kendall's Tau were used to test their publication bias. Fixed and random models were used to calculate the effect size.

Results: The results indicated that 10 studies met the inclusion criteria, and that the studies included in the study were heterogeneous and had no publication bias. The mean effect size was 0.114 at the 95% significance level [CL=0.087-0.440].

Conclusion: The results of the study indicated that nursing students were not able to develop their critical thinking skills and that there is a need for implementations to develop their critical thinking skills. This study will provide guidance for nursing school administrators and educators to develop critical thinking skills of nursing students.

Aim: Research was carried out to examine the effect of training with realizing high fidelity birthing simulator on obstetric skill applications and satisfaction levels of students with in the scope of obstetric diagnostic applications.

Method: The sample of the research, which was conducted in semi-experimental design, consisted of 90 students. In the study, the students in experiment group with high fidelity birthing simulator (n=47) and the students in control group (n=43) using basic-level modeling, not including advanced technology were in obstetric skills training in order to perform physical examination of pregnant and postpartum women. During collection of research data following forms were used; Obstetric Diagnostic Clinical Skills Guides, Satisfaction from Education Methods Survey and Professional Skills Laboratory Feedback Form. The socio-demographic data obtained from study were evaluated with number and percentage distributions using the Statistical Package for Social Science for Windows Version 15.0 package program. Independent Sample T Test, Mann-Withney U Test and Chi-Square Test were used for comparison between groups.

Results: Obstetric skill mean scores of the students in the experiment group were significantly higher than the control group. No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of satisfaction with the education method. The students in the experiment group responded more positively to " the suitability of the laboratory physics environment, the adequacy of the materials and adaptation with theoretical knowledge of the laboratory applications. Eighty one percent of the students in the experiment group and 58% of the students in the control group stated that "Laboratory practice" found sufficient.

Conclusion: When using a high-fidelity birth simulator, students' laboratory skills are more adequate and their feedbacks towards laboratory studies are more positive. As a result of study it is recommended that the simulation-based education is widely used by nursing students at laboratory studies prior to clinic applications in universities providing education at the bachelor degree.

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the opinions and practices of sophomore nursing students about preoperative patient safety.

Method: This descriptive study was conducted from November 2016 to April 2017 by attendance of 219 sophomore nursing students who are practicing in the surgery departments of two university hospitals and meet the criteria of the study. For collection of data, the data collection form was used, which has been developed by the researchers in line with the literature and includes two parts. The necessary institutions and ethics committee permits were obtained before starting the research. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used for data analysis.

Results: It was found out that the average age of the attending students was 20.29±1.65 (years) and 50.2% of them have chosen the profession because of high employment opportunity. It was found that, of the students, 33.8% have taken lesson for patient safety and 26.9% have participated in training events such as seminars, courses, etc. about patient safety. When the situation of carrying out the preoperative patient safety practices by them, it was found that the first three preoperative practices carried out by the students attended the study were measurement of vital signs, checking patient identification and verification of the operation site respectively.

Conclusion: In this study, it was found out that the majority of students did not participate in any training program for preoperative patient safety; however, they performed some applications for patient safety. In line with these results, it can be suggested to increase the knowledge of preoperative patient safety practices by organizing training activities for patient safety and by ensuring the participation of students in these activities and comparing the information and application levels of the larger sample groups with all classes.

Aim: To manage and document the nursing care process related to Surgical Site Infection and control in colorectal cancer patient using the Turkish-Nightingale Notes (T-NN) program and test the usability of the program.

Method: The sample of the study consisted of 30 patients who underwent colorectal surgery in a university hospital between 1 March and 31 October 2015. All nursing care data provided at hospital and during discharge are coded into the NN program based on the Omaha System. Analyzes were performed using descriptive statistical tests in the SPSS 22 program.

Results: The 56.7% of patients were women and 43.3% were men. Four patients in thirty were diagnosed by surgical site infection (13.3%). The nine nursing problems were chosen from the T-NN program were 51.1% "Skin", 13,2% "Communicable/infectious Condition", 9.4% "Nutrition" and 0.2% "Sexuality". In the solution of the problems, "Teaching Guidance, and Counseling; Treatments and Procedures; Case Management and Surveillance initiatives were used. Nursing care/ patient outcomes were assessed at the level of "Knowledge", "Behavior" and "Status". Significant improvement was observed at the level of "Knowledge" and "Behavior" in the patients who underwent surgery for potential problems at all levels in patients who developed Surgical Site Infection (CAE) (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Turkish-Nightingale Notes (T-NN) program was sufficient to describe the nursing care process for CAE in colorectal surgery patients. T-NN program could be used by infection control nurses. It was suggested that the program be used in different units and with different problems and samples. These efforts can provide the opportunity to use common language in nursing, to base evidence of nursing practices and to reveal the value of nursing care.

Technologies like blackboards, overhead projectors and film strips that used to be available in classrooms have been replaced by technologies like computers, internet, simulations, educational videos, mobile devices and social media today and distance education methods like e-learning and mobile learning have gradually become widespread. Educational environments not using these technologies are no more able to meet today's individual and social expectations and needs. Due to all these reasons, every country in today's world has begun restructuring their education by using technological developments and changes. This compilation aims to reveal the effects of rapidly changing and developing technologies on nursing education.
