AİM: The study aimed to determine the pain, sleep disturbance, and smoking among patients with Covid-19 who were presented to emergency departments.
Method: This descriptive research was conducted between November 2020 and December 2021. The study population comprised 400 patients with COVID-19 who were presented to emergency departments at Ataturk University Research Hospital and Erzurum City Hospital and who agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected by the researcher via face-to-face interviews. Personal Information Form, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, Insomnia Severity Index, and McGill Pain Scale Short Form were used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics were presented as number, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Parametric and nonparametric methods (t-test, Kruskal-Wallis Variance, Mann-Whitney U test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to compare variables between the groups. Ethical approval was obtained from the relevant authority prior to data collection and oral consent was obtained from all patients.
Results: It was determined that 52.5% of the patients were smokers; 24% of the smokers reported a decrease in smoking after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Nicotine addiction was found to be higher in men, tradesmen, and patients aged 55-64 years. McGill pain scale emotional sub-dimension scores were higher in women, whereas the sensory sub-dimension scores were higher in married patients. McGill pain scale total scores were higher in women, unemployed patients, and those with chronic diseases. Insomnia severity index was higher in women, smokers, and patients in the age group of 65-75 years.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, pain, smoking, and sleep disorders in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were affected by socio-demographic characteristics.

Aim: This study aims to assess the perception and satisfaction of nurses toward the electronic medical record system in a teaching hospital.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 nurses in a teaching hospital via a self-administered questionnaire between May to October 2019. Descriptive analysis, independent t-test, analysis of variance, and hierarchical multiple regression were used to analyze the data using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 25. In addition, a The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) was used as guide in reporting the results of this study.
Results: Almost all the nurses (98%, n = 343) had a positive perception toward the electronic medical record system, though their perceptions significantly differ across work units, computer or laptop ownership, and daily time spent on the system (all p < .05). Nurses who had received training reported better satisfaction with the system.
Conclusion: Among the issues highlighted by the participants that warrant attention were system development and connectivity. This study, therefore, emphasizes the involvement of nursing personnel in system development to ensure an appropriate approach for nursing care delivery.
目的:了解某教学医院护士对电子病案系统的认知及满意度。方法:于2019年5月至10月对某教学医院350名护士进行横断面调查。采用Statistical Package for Social Sciences软件25版,采用描述性分析、独立t检验、方差分析、分层多元回归等方法对数据进行分析。此外,在报告本研究结果时,采用了《加强流行病学观察性研究报告》(STROBE)作为指南。结果:几乎所有的护士(98%,n = 343)对电子病历系统有积极的看法,尽管他们的看法在工作单位、电脑或笔记本电脑的所有权和每天在系统上花费的时间上存在显著差异(p < 0.05)。接受过培训的护士对该系统的满意度更高。结论:参与者强调的值得关注的问题是系统开发和连通性。因此,本研究强调护理人员在系统开发中的参与,以确保护理护理提供的适当方法。
