A comparison of Gordon's functional health patterns model and standard nursing care in symptomatic heart failure patients: A randomized controlled trial
(W.B. Saunders, 2020-06) Türen, Sevda; Enç, Nuray
Background Heart failure (HF) is associated with poor quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality. Aim This study aimed to investigate effect of application of Gordon's functional health pattern (FHP) model in nursing care of symptomatic HF patients on quality of life, morbidity and mortality in the post-discharge 30-day. Methods This is a prospective randomized controlled study conducted in a single center. Experimental group received nursing care planned in accordance with Gordon's FHP model. 60 control and 60 experimental HF patients were included in the study. In the control group nursing care was given according to the standard protocol of the hospital whereas in the experimental group nursing care was given in accordance with Gordon's FHP model. Patients in both groups were followed up after discharge at 30th day. Results Mean Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score improved significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group at 30th day (40.2 ± 23.5 vs 62.3 ± 22.9 respectively, p = 0.001). Seven patients (11.7%) in the experimental group and 17 patients (28.3%) in the control group were readmitted in the post discharge 30-day (p = 0.02). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis revealed significant difference in 30-day event free survival rates between groups (log-rank p = 0.31). Conclusion Application of Gordon's FHP model in the nursing care of HF patients was associated with significantly improved quality of life, and reduced hospital readmission rates at 30th day. This was the only independent predictor of 30-day event free survival.

Awareness of health sciences students about colorectal cancer risk factors
(2019-05) Üstündağ, Hülya; Zengin, Neriman; Andsoy, Işıl Işık; GÜL, ASİYE
Objective This descriptive study was conducted in order to determine the risk factors, symptoms and awareness of health sciences students with regards to colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods This study included 1,028 health science students from two different universities. Data for this study were collected via a questionnaire form that included questions about CRC risk factors, protective approaches and symptoms. Frequencies, percentages and averages of the data were assessed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results The most frequent risk factors of the students (mean age: 21.25 years) were smoking (90.5%), excessive alcohol consumption (87.4%), family history of cancer (84.2%) and obesity (82.6%), while the most common protective approaches were smoking cessation, avoiding alcohol, regular physical activity and a low-fat diet. There was a significant difference in the CRC awareness of students in terms of gender, the department and grade level at which they were studying, and having a family history of cancer. Conclusion Results of this study revealed that students had a sufficient awareness about risk factors and what they could do to diminish their risk, but their knowledge about CRC symptoms was less than expected. We believe that health sciences students should be given more education on CRC symptoms.

Case report: Necrotising fasciitis after removing the intrauterine device
(2018-12) Özkaya, B.; Küçük, A.; Tosun, H.; GÜL, ASİYE
Necrotising fasciitis is a rapidly progressive, destructive soft tissue infection that mainly involves fascia and subcutaneous tissues. Rapidly spread necrosis in tissues is often caused by systemic sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, multiorgan failure and thrombosis in the subcutaneous vasculature. Necrotising fasciitis can be seen in all the anatomical regions of the body; the extremities and perineum are frequently affected. In this case report, we emphasised the importance of nursing care of a necrotising fasciitis patient who has been treated for a long time with aggressive surgical treatment. Vacuum-assisted closure application is a non-invasive method with controlled and localised negative pressure on the wound to accelerate healing in acute/chronic wounds. Necrotising fasciitis can be successfully treated with early diagnosis, adequate debridement, and appropriate antibiotic therapy. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the comprehensive care of these patients.

Chemotherapy and radiation induced pulmonary dysfunction in hodgkin lymphoma patients
(2016-12) İzmir Güner, Şebnem; Teoman Yanmaz, Mustafa; Selvi, Ahmet; Usul, Çiğdem
Although the deterioration in pulmonary functions is a well-known important problem due to the treatment of the Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, the immediate and long term effects of the therapy and its distinctive components were not shown clearly yet. We planned to investigate effects of multiple agent chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to pulmonary functions immediately and thereafter and the possible effects of the managing this situation. 34 patients were included the study. The patients were evaluated for peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced expiratory vital capacity (FVC), mean total lung capacity (TLC) values, FEV1/FVC ratio, diffusing capacity for carbonmonoxide (DLco), diffusing capacity for carbonmonoxide corrected for hemoglobin concentration (DLCO) before and at 1, 6 and 12 months after the initiation of the treatment. Demographic characteristics; disease stages; chemotherapy protocols; whether radiotherapy is received; if yes, the region and the dose received were recorded. The tests were finally analysed in two separated groups; group A treated with only chemotherapy and group B; treated with combination therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In group A, FVC and FEV1 is similar before and after treatment. FEV1/FVC ratio was increased (P = 0.0001) in this group despite increasing in mean TLC values (P = 0.001). No meaningful changes were observed in PEF and DLCO values in group A. In group B, FVC, FEV1 and PEF were decreased after treatment (for FVC P = 0.028, for FEV1 P = 0.04). Despite a decrease in first month of the treatment in FEV1/FVC ratio and DLco these two parameters were recovered at the end of the first year in group B patients. TLC values were increased after treatment in group B as in group A (P = 0.035). We believe that, if these patients are managed well in 1 year; necessary precautions are provided; and patients are well-informed, then there wouldn't be too much risk and mortality rate for long-term side effects of ABVD and mediastinal RT.

Development of Fistula in a Patient With Crohn's Disease: a case report
(2019-06) GÜL, ASİYE; 112620
INTRODUCTION: A fistula is an abnormal connection between two epithelized surfaces. 15- 25% of the fistulas develop spontaneously and 75-85% develop after surgery. Spontaneous fistulas develop after radiotherapy, diverticulitis, appendicitis, peptic ulcer perforation, pancreatitis, intestinal tuberculosis, inflammatory bowel disease. Malnutrition, sepsis, shock, circulatory failure, corticosteroid treatment, difficulties in surgical anastomosis cause fistula formation. Fistula develops 20% -40% with Crohn's disease. 75% of intestinal fistulas open to the skin. It has psychological, physiological, sociological and economic effects in patients with fistula. Objective: In this study, it was emphasized the importance of nursing care of a patient with Crohn's disease, difficult management, and long-standing fistula. Case: Mr. ET who has Crohn's disease, is 27 years old, married, graduated from primary school, lived in the village outside of Istanbul. The patient admitted to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain at the time of his visit to his brother. The emergency operation performed due to Ileus and common small intestinal dilatation. Segmenter small intestine resection and ileostomy performed and the patient followed up in the intensive care unit. Because of intraabdominal abscess, a vacuum system is applied. Afterward, two fistulas developed in the abdominal region. The total parenteral and enteral food is used for weight loss. Antibiotic therapy initiated for infection. Three months later, the fistula healed and the patient discharged on his own request. Conclusion: Complicated nursing care and multidisciplinary care must be provide for the problems that may occur in the patient who is hospitalize for a long time after the fistula.

(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, STE 800, 230 PARK AVE, NEW YORK, NY 10169 USA, 2019-12) Kızılkaya, Tuba; GÜL, ASİYE; 112620
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether fasting time and anxiety parameters affect pregnant women's preoperative comfort levels. Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Methods: Data were collected from pregnant women using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ), and Numerical Rating Scale. Findings: The mean age of the participants was 29.15 +/- 4.54 years, and the spinal anesthesia rate was 65.5%. The mean fasting time was 13.16 +/- 2.38 hours for solid food and 10.57 +/- 2.91 hours for liquid food. The mean GCQ score was 129.82 +/- 12.66, while the mean STAI subscale scores were 46.72 +/- 9.37 and 43.65 +/- 7.95. Moderately negative correlation was found between the total GCQ and STAI scores, while weak positive correlation was observed between the STAI score and the thirst sensation and mouth dryness. Conclusions: The preoperative process negatively affects comfort levels of pregnant women. Interventions that reduce the fasting time and anxiety level of pregnant women will increase comfort.

(Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Tosun, Hale; GÜL, ASİYE; Yazıcı, Saadet
Aim This study was carried out to determine the knowledge and attitude about human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and vaccination and healthy lifestyle behaviors of female university students. Subject and methods Students completed a form containing socio-demographic data and questions about HPV infection and vaccination and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II (HLBS). For the analysis of the data, percentage, mean, standard deviation, T-test, and one-way ANOVA test were used in independent groups. Results The mean age of the female students was 19.53 +/- 1.57. Of the students, 74.7% (n = 470) had no knowledge about cervical cancer, 80.6% (n = 507) had no knowledge about HPV, and 1.7% (n = 11) had had the HPV vaccination. "Not know" to all the statements about HPV infection and vaccination is high in general. The total score of the HLBS was 126.43 +/- 17.70. The mean scores of the HLBS subgroup were the highest in the aspects of spiritual development and interpersonal relations. The HLBS total scores of those who know about the HPV vaccine were higher than those who do not know and those who have insufficient knowledge. Conclusion Knowledge of HPV infection and vaccination is important for young women. It is necessary to develop healthy lifestyle behaviors during university education.

The Importance and Prevention of Mastitis in Mothers
(2019-06) GÜL, ASİYE; 112620
Aim: This review emphasizes the incidence of mastitis in breastfeeding mothers and what needs to be done to prevent mastitis. Introduction: Mastitis, inflammation of the breast, refers to the inflammatory disease o f the breast. Mastitis is classified as lactating (puerperal), non-lactating and breast abscess. Lactational mastitis is the most common mastitis. Lactational mastitis is seen in 3-33%. It is more common in the first 12 weeks of breastfeeding. Most breast abscess develops as a complication of lactational mastitis. Milk stasis and infection are two main causes. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative agent for mastitis. Other organisms include streptococcus and S. epidermidis. Patients with recurrent breast abscess have an increased incidence of mixed flora, including anaerobic organisms. Breast pain is the primary symptom of mastitis. Other symptoms; vomiting with general flu-like symptoms such as high fever, weakness, muscle pain, sweating, and headache. In addition to physiological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and helplessness develop. This affects daily life activities and causes lifestyle changes. Providing the right breastfeeding milk flow is the main principle of treatment. Breastfeeding is not harmful to the baby, it is also the ideal way to drain the milk. Lack of education on postpartum breast care, reduction of local hygiene conditions, encouraging the mother to breastfeed, and correcting the newborns should be correctly positioned. Conclusion: The incidence of mastitis can be reduced by informing the mothers and changing their attitudes in a positive way.

Validity and reliability study of Pieper Pressure Ulcer test in Tuskish Nurses
(2019-06) GÜL, ASİYE; 112620
Aim: The aim of the cross-sectional and descriptive study was to determine validity and reliability Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test (PUKT) in Turkish Nurses. Methods: The sample consists of Turkish nurses who working in a training and research hospital in the European side of Istanbul. Data were collected using the PUKT. The PUKT was developed by Pieper in 1993 to evaluate pressure ulcer prevention, staging of pressure ulcers, and wound identification of nurses' knowledge. Lawrence et al. validated modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Information Test in 2015. The test consists of 49 items, a correct answer was scored 1, and an incorrect response was scored 0, thus, the possible score range was from 0 to 49. Results: The language validity and cultural adaptation were performed of the PUKT. In the analysis, which was conducted according to expert opinions, the content validity index (CVI=0.918) were determined. The reliability of the scale was examined with time invariance and internal consistency. In the test-retest test, there was no statistically significant difference between the two measurement results (t = -1.875, p = 0.06), the correlation coefficient was 0.840 and the relationship between them was statistically significant. The Kuder Richardson 20 value, which was calculated for testing internal reliability, was found to be 0.735. The Kappa value was determined to be 0.646; thus, the test had good interrater reliability. Conclusion: it has been determined that Turkish form of PUKT is appropriate measurement tool in terms of language and content validity to Turkish nursing.
