    Aim: This study was aimed at investigating the educational experiences of international nursing students in Turkey. Background: Nursing education has now gained an international dimension, which creates an environment where students from different cultures come together. In Turkey, nursing education is expanding internationally due to the increasing number of international students. Design: A descriptive- phenomenological qualitative study. Methods: The study data were collected from nursing students who came to Turkey from 17 different countries between April 2023 and July 2023 to study at a nursing faculty in Turkey using a semi -structured interview form. Of these students, 27 constituted the study sample. The data collected were analyzed using the content analysis. The COREQ checklist was used in reporting the study. Results: Four themes emerged: a) challenges, b) gains, c) support needs and d) recommendations. Among challenges reported by the participating students were language barriers, cultural adjustment issues and lack of social support. As for the gains of being a foreign student, they stated that they experienced intercultural interaction and improved their language skills, independence and self-confidence. In the study, the need for language support, provision of psychological assistance and cultural adaptation support for these students and the importance of practical recommendations such as mentoring programs and orientation trainings to improve their educational experience were emphasized. Conclusion: In conclusion, in this study, the importance of targeted strategies in nursing education in areas such as language support, psychological assistance and cultural adaptation was emphasized, which helps international students to have a successful educational experience. It was also concluded that mentoring programs and orientation trainings could enrich the educational processes of students by facilitating their adaptation to their new environment. This study is notable in the literature in that students from 17 diverse countries share the same program and the same prerequisites.

Data were collected through face-to-face, in-depth, and semi-structured interviews between June 2023 and December 2023. Content analysis was used to analyze the data.ResultsContent analysis revealed four main themes: (a) knowledge and awareness, (b) the facilitating effect of NANDA-I on patient care, (c) improvement of NANDA-I terminology training, and (d) challenges in utilizing NANDA-I.ConclusionsThe findings of this study offer recommendations for nursing educators to make adjustments to the educational curriculum concerning NANDA-I terminology.

    (Springer Heidelberg, 2026) Acar, Meryem Erdogan; Buran, Gonca; Guvener, Yasemin Ozyer; Yeygel, Ciler; Donmez, Aysegul; Kircan, Nurten Denizhan
    Purpose To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with migraine and menstrual migraine in women of reproductive age. Method This multicenter cross-sectional study included 2049 women who were successfully contacted between May and December 2023. The data were collected via an online interview method using the Individual Identification Form, which was created by the researchers and consists of three parts. Results The mean age of the study participants was determined to be 24.19 +/- 7.76 years. The prevalence of migraine was found to be 16.4%, while the prevalence of menstrual migraine was 56.4%. A statistically significant relationship was identified between migraine diagnosis and a number of variables, including marital status, educational status, employment status, social security status, income status, family type, smoking habits, alcohol consumption and coffee intake (p < 0.05). A statistically significant relationship was found between menstrual headache and marital status, working in a gainful job, presence of social security, income status, family type, smoking, alcohol use and coffee consumption (p < 0.05). Conclusion Many sociodemographic characteristics and habits in women's daily lives are among the risk factors for migraine and menstrual migraine. It is advisable for health professionals to provide comprehensive counseling services to facilitate the adoption of healthy behaviors in relation to these risk factors.
