    An Investigation of the Relationship Between the General Vaccination Attitudes of Pregnant Women and Their Attitudes Toward the COVID-19 Vaccine
    (Routledge, 2023) Mamuk, Rojjin; Akgün, Meryem; MİRAL, MUKADDES TURAN; Göksu, Şerife
    This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the attitudes of pregnant women toward general vaccines based on the Health Belief Model and their attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine. The study, which was designed as a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study, was conducted with 348 pregnant women in three public hospitals in Northern Cyprus between June 24 and November 28, 2022. Data were collected using the “Participant Information Form,” “Public Attitude Toward Vaccination Scale-Health Belief Model” (PAVS-HBM), and “Attitudes Toward the COVID-19 Vaccine” (ATV-COVID-19). The COVID-19 vaccination rate among pregnant women was quite high. Pregnant women have a high perception of sensitivity, importance, benefit, and health responsibility for routine vaccines and vaccination programs based on the HBM, and a low perception of barriers to vaccination. These results showed that pregnant women have a determined and positive attitude toward the acceptance of vaccines in general. On the other hand, the attitude of pregnant women toward the COVID-19 vaccine was moderately negative. Despite the reservations about the COVID-19 vaccine, a determined and positive attitude toward vaccines in general has increased acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine.

    Knowledge and Attitudes of Patients with Advanced Heart Failure Toward Heart Transplantation
    (Van Tıp Dergisi, 2023) Türen, Selahattin; TÜREN, SEVDA
    Introduction: The increased prevalence of heart failure (HF) has also led to an increased prevalence of advanced HF. Heart transplantation (HTx) is still considered the "gold standard therapy" in the treatment of advanced HF. We sought to determine the attitudes and knowledge of patients with advanced HF toward HTx. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in an outpatient advanced HF and transplant clinic in a tertiary care center from February 2021 to January 2022 and 110 patients were included. Results: The mean age was 49.5±10.50 years and 82.7% of the patients were male. The majority of the patients (77.2%) stated that they thought HTx was religiously appropriate. However, only 50.6% of patients stated that if they were healthy, they would have donated their organs. 49.2%, received education about HTx. Only 27.3% of the patients found the education they received sufficient. The patients who received education about HTx had significantly better knowledge regarding the pre-transplant evaluation process and adverse conditions that may develop after HTx. There were no significant differences in terms of patients' knowledge and attitudes toward the HTx according to quality of life. Only the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score of the patients who were afraid of surgery was found to be significantly higher. Conclusions: Patients did not have sufficient knowledge about HTx, but they had a positive attitude toward it. A multidisciplinary team should address the concerns of the patients, and assist the patients in adapting to the HTx process by providing the necessary education.

    Menopausal Knowledge and Attitudes of Women During the Perimenopausal Period
    (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.
