    The aim of this study was to evaluate healthy lifestyle behaviors and the quality of life of obese individuals in 3-12 months after sleeve gastrectomy. The study is a descriptive design and was conducted at the obesity surgery outpatient clinic of a government hospital between May and December 2017. The study sample included 172 patients agreeing to participate. Data were gathered with a questionnaire composed of questions about sociodemographic features, the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), and the WHO Quality of Life BREF-TR (WHOQOL-BREF-TR). The total HPLP II score was above average; participants had the highest and lowest scores for the subscales spiritual growth and physical activity, respectively. The total score for the WHOQOL-BREF-TR was above average. The highest and lowest scores were obtained for the subscales psychological health and social relations, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the scores for HPLP II and its subscales and the scores for WHOQOL-BREF-TR. Promotion of health and a healthy lifestyle need to be an integral part of health services provided for patients after sleeve gastrectomy.

    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) MİRAL, MUKADDES TURAN; BAYRAKTAR, TUĞBA
    Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes about menopause among women in the perimenopausal period. Methods: A descriptive and relationship-seeking cross-sectional study was conducted in family health centers in a district of Istanbul between January and March 2023. The study included 300 women in the perimenopausal period. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a descriptive information form, a menopause knowledge test, and the Menopause Attitude Scale. Results: The average age of participants was 45.07 +/- 3.50, with 85.3% married, 37.0% having completed primary school, and 55.0% being housewives. The average menopause knowledge score was 12.29 +/- 3.75 (out of 20), and the average menopause attitude score was 25.23 +/- 6.99 (out of 52). No significant relationship was found between menopause knowledge and attitude scores (r = 0.06, P > 0.05). Women with an income exceeding their expenses had higher menopause knowledge scores (P < 0.05). Unmarried women, those with lower education levels, those with higher incomes, and those living alone had higher menopause attitude scores compared with their counterparts (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Women's knowledge and attitudes toward menopause are moderate in the perimenopausal period. There is no significant relationship between menopausal knowledge and attitude of women during the perimenopausal period. It was determined that menopause knowledge level differed according to women's income status, and menopause attitude differed according to marital status, educational status, and cohabitation status in this study.

    Relationship Between Intensive Care Nurses' Attitudes and Behaviors Toward End-of-Life Care and Ethical Attitudes
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023-10-27) Efil, Sevda; TÜREN, SEVDA; Demir, Gül
    Background: Nurses are in a central position to improve care for dying patients and their families by challenging current end-of-life practices in their settings. Nurses who care for such patients experience the associated ethical dilemmas. However, the relation between their attitude and behavior regarding end-of-life care and their ethical attitudes is not known. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the relation between the attitudes and behaviors of intensive care unit nurses to end-of-life care and their ethical attitudes in the care process. Methods: The research was conducted in Antalya, one of the most populous provinces in Turkey, with 287 intensive care nurses working in 4 different hospitals. The research data were collected between June 30 and August 30, 2021. Self-report data were collected using a Nurses' Description Form, the Attitudes and Behaviors of ICU Nurses to End-of-Life Care Scale, and the Ethical Attitude Scale for Nursing Care. Results: The mean score of the intensive care nurses for attitude and behaviors to end-of-life care was 62.36 ± 13.22, and their mean score for ethical attitude for nursing care was 149.76 ± 24.98. Conclusion: It was found that intensive care nurses' attitudes and behaviors to end-of-life care had a positive correlation on their ethical attitudes in the care process (P < .001). Discussion: It would be of interest to understand how these attitudes impact clinical decision-making for the ultimate understanding of whether nurses' attitudes can be a barrier to the delivery of quality end-of-life care.
