This study aims to adapt the "Breast Cancer Survivor Self-Efficacy Scale" to Turkish culture and conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study. The research was conducted using a methodological design. The research sample consisted of 201 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer and had no communication problems were included in the study. Research data were collected from May 25 to August 1, 2022. In data collection, a descriptive information form and Breast Cancer Survivor Self-Efficacy (BCS) scale were used. Language equivalence, content validity, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the scale were performed. Cronbach's α coefficient and item-total score correlation were evaluated to determine the reliability of the scale. For CFA, one of the concordance models of structural equality, LISREL, was used. The mean age of the patients participating in this study was 55.75 ± 11.76 years. The mean time since the first diagnosis was determined as 57.19 ± 63.40 months. As a result of the assessments and analyses conducted, the content validity of the scale was found to be 1.0. After the explanatory factor analysis, it was determined that the scale consisted of 10 items and two factors and explained 47.08% of the total variance. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of 0.73 and Bartlett's test (χ2=484.057; p = .000) value were also found to be statistically significant. Total Cronbach's coefficient of the scale was .71, while Cronbach's coefficient was .73 for sub-factor Coping, and Cronbach's coefficient was .60 for sub-factor help-seeking. Confirmatory factor analysis fit indices were found as χ2/df: 1.59, RMSEA: 0.055, GFI: 0.95, AGFI: 0.92, CFI: 0.97, NFI: 0.92, NNFI: 0.96. It is concluded that the "Breast Cancer Self-Efficacy Scale" for women who have survived breast cancer is a valid and reliable measurement tool for cancer patients.

The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate the main factors associated with lung cancer incidence in China and provide reference for developing successful lung cancer interventions and accelerating progress against cancer. All publications related to the influencing factors of lung cancer incidence were retrieved from four databases from their date of inception through September 2022. Eight Medical Subject Headings and corresponding keywords were utilized to identify eligible trials in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP), and China Biology Medicine Database (CBM). The heterogeneity test and meta-analysis were conducted using Review Manager (RevMan, version 5.4) software. This study was designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols. Fourteen studies, published from 2000 to 2019, have been chosen and incorporated in a meta-analysis. The mean total quality score across the included studies was 7, with a range of 6-8. The findings of the meta-analysis demonstrated that smoking (odds ratio=2.46, 95% confidence interval: 1.94-3.11), passive smoking (odds ratio=2.44, 95% confidence interval: 2.13-2.80), lung/respiratory disease (odds ratio=2.66, 95% confidence interval: 1.82-3.89), family history of tumor (odds ratio=2.79, 95% confidence interval: 1.80-4.32), oil fume (odds ratio=1.91, 95% confidence interval: 1.50-2.43), and psychological factor (odds ratio=2.27, 95% confidence interval: 1.89-2.73) were risk factors for lung cancer, while more fruits and vegetables (odds ratio=0.51, 95% confidence interval: 0.35-0.75), exercise (odds ratio=0.55, 95% confidence interval: 0.43-0.72), and tea drinking (odds ratio=0.52, 95% confidence interval: 0.32-0.83) were protective factors for lung cancer. Funnel plot analysis demonstrated the absence of any apparent publication bias. The risk and protective factors influencing the lung cancer incidence are diverse. Considering the research limitations, we should have more research projects to explore the factors that affect lung cancer incidence and explain the research results.

This study aims to investigate the effects of aromatherapy massage on the pain severity and quality of life in patients diagnosed with migraine, in addition to medical treatment during a migraine attack. The study was performed as a randomized controlled trial. This study was carried out in the emergency department of a State Hospital. It was performed in the Emergency Department of Bitlis State Hospital. Data was collected between April 15, and October 15, 2017. The sample of the study was consisted of a total of 70 migraine patients including 35 experimental and 35 control group, subjects who visited the emergency department with migraine pain, along with the medical treatment, patients of experimental group were massaged for 15 minutes with an aromatic oil mixture applied on the temple and root of the neck for three weeks. It was found that the VAS scores of the experimental group before the application (9.26 ± 0.95) were significantly higher than the control group (8.54 ± 1.69) (p = .03). Migraine quality of life scale total and subscale scores of experimental group after the application were significantly higher than the control group (p < .05). In the study, it was concluded that aromatherapy massage had an effect on migraine pain and quality of life of patients with migraine.

The aim of the study was determined to examine the effect of breastfeeding education, counseling, and support based on Human Caring Theory on mothers' perceptions of breastfeeding self-efficacy and type of breastfeeding. The randomized controlled prospective study was conducted with 100 Turkish women (intervention: 50; control: 50) between 2019 and 2021 at a university hospital in Izmir. The intervention program included Human Caring Theory-based face-to-face sessions, for 12 hours, asynchronous distance education modules, and telephone support process. Individual asynchronous distance education and telephone support based on Human Caring Theory were provided from the prenatal process to the sixth month postpartum. The control group received two hours of standard breastfeeding training in a childbirth education class. Clinical trial number was received (NCT05246748). Human Caring Theory-based breastfeeding education and support program improved breastfeeding self-efficacy scores of the intervention group (68.88 ± 3.15) compared to the control group (58.08± 9,92). In addition, the breastfeeding duration and exclusively breastfeeding in the intervention group were longer and statistically higher than the control group. Since breastfeeding is an emotional and social interactive process, using the theoretical/philosophical framework based on human care will provide a scientific and holistic perspective. It may be crucial to prefer Human Caring Theory based on routine programs for well-being of breastfeeding rates and successful breastfeeding.

Computer vision syndrome has been an issue of concern among students who use digital devices continuously. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and level of knowledge on computer vision syndrome and its relationship with associated factors among undergraduate students in a public university in Malaysia. This study was conducted between 26 May and 23 June 2022 at National University of Malaysia. A cross-sectional study among 208 undergraduate students from a public university was conducted. A self-reported questionnaire via Google Form was used to capture the data among the undergraduates. The prevalence and associated factors of computer vision syndrome were each evaluated using the validated Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire and Computer Vision Syndrome Survey Form 3 questionnaires, respectively, while knowledge of computer vision syndrome was assessed using a validated questionnaire from a previous study. All the data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26.0 software (IBM Corp.; Armonk, NY, USA). The prevalence of computer vision syndrome among undergraduates was 63.0% (n=131), with 91.9% having poor knowledge of computer vision syndrome. Significant associations toward computer vision syndrome were found among undergraduates who have refractive errors/wearing glass (69.3%), screen edge at or above horizontal eye level (79.4%), uncomfortable sitting postures (79.4%) and close eye-screen distance (82.0%). In-depth analysis showed that having refractive errors/wearing glasses (aOR: 1.93; CI: 1.05, 3.57), uncomfortable sitting postures (aOR: 2.01; CI: 1.08, 3.74), and close eye-screen distance (aOR: 2.81; CI: 1.31, 6.05) had odd chance to develop computer vision syndrome. The study's findings denoted that digital device users should have more knowledge of computer vision syndrome and practice the preventable measures, such as proper viewing distance and angle, upright sitting postures, appropriate screen and surrounding illuminance, as well as regular eye check-ups.

It was aimed to explore the serial mediation role of self-efficacy and financial anxiety levels in the impact of health and tourism students' life satisfaction on brain drain perceptions. In this descriptive study, the data from 403 participants were collected using four scales (Brain Drain Attitude, Life Satisfaction, SelfEfficacy, Financial Anxiety) between May and July 2022 in Antalya, Türkiye and serial mediation model and regression analysis were conducted. From the data, 83.3% tourism, 74.8% nursing, 56.5% dentistry, and 55.7% medical school students indicated they were contemplating migrating following graduation. Life satisfaction had a positive effect on self-efficacy and a negative effect on financial anxiety, and self-efficacy on financial anxiety had a positive effect. Life satisfaction had a direct negative effect on brain drain, while self-efficacy and financial anxiety had positive effects on brain drain. Students' perceptions of life satisfaction were important antecedent of brain drain intention, and self-efficacy perception and financial anxiety have mediating effects in this effect. The factors most influencing their intent to migrate were brain drain attitude and faculties. Financial anxiety, self-efficacy, and intention to go abroad were variables affecting the perceptions of brain drain. The migration intentions and brain drain attitudes expressed in this study predict an immediate and severe threat to the sustainability of the country's healthcare and tourism service. Interventions such as improving financial anxiety and providing life satisfaction are required.

This study aimed to adopt the use of the Health Improvement Profile in the Turkish context and to report the findings obtained during its pilot implementation. This descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 280 individuals, and data were collected using the Patient and Disease Characteristics Form and the Health Improvement Profile between May and December 2019 ın community mental health centers. The total content validity index of the Health Improvement Profile (Female-Male) was 0.97. Among the participants, 57.1% had a physical health problem, 58.1% had a diagnosis of a physical condition, and 41.9% had physical symptoms only. Intergroup comparisons showed that individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders slept for less than 3 hours, individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder consumed more alcohol, and individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorders slept for more than 8 hours, smoked more, consumed more caffeine, and practiced safe sex less consistently than individuals diagnosed with other psychiatric disorders (p < .05). The Health Improvement Profile is an assessment tool that psychiatric mental health nurses can use to evaluate the physical health of individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness. The use of Health Improvement Profile in routine practice may allow determining the redflagged parameters and provide an opportunity improving these parameters with evidence-based interventions.

The objective of this study was to adapt the pediatric nurse parent partnership scale into Turkish and assess its validity and reliability. A methodological and correlational research methodology was employed. The study was performed with 348 pediatric nurses between January and March 2023. Data collection measures were a "Personal Information Form" and the "Pediatric Nurse Parent Partnership Scale." Content and structure validity, internal consistency, and item analysis methods were utilized to establish the validity and reliability of the measure. The adapted measure was found to have 19 items, explaining 71.60% of the total variance, and a four-sub-dimensional structure. According to the explanatory factor analysis findings, factor loads varied from 0.509 to 0.854, and item-total score correlation values of 0.509- 0.750 were obtained. The goodness of fit indices obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis were CMIN/DF=3.845, GFI=0.87, CFI=0.92, NFI=0.89, TLI=0.90, and RMSEA=0.091. The confirmatory factor analysis of the four-factor measure structure showed that these index figures were acceptable. Cronbach's α was 0.939 for the total scale and varied from 0.845-0.893 for the sub-dimensions. The Pediatric Nurse Parent Partnership Scale was an effective and trustworthy measure that could be used in the Turkish sample to evaluate the partnerships reported by pediatric nurses and parents in the field.

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between regular exercise, depression, and fall among the community older people to find out the predictors of fall. This study applied cross-sectional and correlational study design. The study recruited 285 community older people by using the questionnaires which included social-demographic data, regular exercise, depression, and whether fall history questionnaires were used in this study. The mean score of the depression scale for older people was 3.47 (SD 2.92). People who took anti-hypertensive or anti-diabetes drugs have higher risks of falls than those who did not (B = 1.659; p < .001; Exp (B) = 5.256). Community-dwelling older people with regular exercise have a lower risk of falls than those without (B = -1.485; p < .001; Exp(B) = 0.227). Rehabilitation programs designed to improve both the older people's physical function and mental health played very important roles in preventing falls. It is necessary to undergo depression screening programs for the community older people in order to detect older people depression in advance and prevent the incidence of falls.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cold sand pack on vascular complications and pain in patients who undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods: This randomized controlled interventional trial was conducted in a hospital between November 30, 2021 and April 3, 2022. The patients were randomly assigned to CSP and NSP. A 5 kg sand pack was applied on the femoral area of the patients in the CSP group at an average temperature of 18.9°C for the first 20 minutes. A 5 kg sand pack was applied at an average temperature of 24.1°C after the procedure on the femoral region of the patients in the NSP group.

Results: After percutaneous coronary intervention, less bleeding developed in the CSP group at hours 2, 3, and 12 when compared to the NSP group, and the ecchymosis diameters measured at hours 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, and 24 were higher than those of the NSP patients (p < 0.05). It was detected that the pain score of the NSP group was higher at hours 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, and 24 on the femoral region when compared to the CSP group.

Conclusion: It was detected that the cold sand pack applied for the first 20 minutes prevented bleeding and reduced ecchymosis diameter and pain intensity.
