Öğe Examination of Nursing Doctor of Philosophy Students' Opinions about Research Ethics(Dokuz Eylul University, 2019) Yardimci Gürel, Tuğba; Demir Barutçu, Canan; Mert, HaticeBackground: Ethical values are vital in the scientific research process as well as in every field of life. In the studies conducted, it is stated that ethical violations have increased. Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the views of nursing doctoral students on research ethics. Methods: The data of the descriptive study were collected from 57 students enrolled in the nursing doctorate program at two different universities. The Personal Information Form and the Research Ethics Questionnaire were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. Results: 98.2% of the participants were women, 47.4% were in the age range 25-29, 70.2% were academicians and 54.4% were in the pre-qualification period. To present the same research in more than one meeting (29.8%), force people to participate (47.4%) and biased to report the findings (64.9%) had the highest percentage. According to the analysis made between clinicians and academicians, in thinking the behavior is ethical, do the behavior and see the behavior is done by colleagues’ fields, the clinician doctoral students' rates are higher than the academic doctoral students and the difference is statistically significant (p < .05). Conclusion: The most important issue in the study is that unethical behaviors are observed too much. Particularly, clinician students have high rates in all areas. In nursing graduate programs, it is recommended to increase the number of courses related to research ethics and to make curriculum arrangements that will provide students gain research experience. © 2019, Dokuz Eylul University.

Methods: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted from April to September 2015 at the Chemotherapy Treatment Centre of the Medicine Chest Diseases Clinic at the Ege University, Izmir, Turkey, and comprised lung cancer patients of either gender aged >18 years. Data was collected using a predesigned Patient Questionnaire as well as the standard Lung Cancer Symptom Scale, Illness Perception Questionnaire and Karnofsky Performance Scale. The patients' sociodemographic characteristics and data on their illness, the symptoms they experienced and the numerical and percentage distribution of the items on the illness perception scale, mean and standard deviation values were examined. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between illness perception and Karnofsky Performance Scale scores and other variables. Results: Of the 105 patients, 86(81.9%) were males, 86(81.9%) were married, 49(46.7%) were elementary school graduates, 101(96.2%) were unemployed, and 95(90.5%) were receiving chemotherapy. The overall mean age of the sample was 61.43 +/- 8.24 years, the period since diagnosis was 11.38 +/- 17.84 months, and the duration of chemotherapy was 4.28 +/- 2.37 months. The mean symptom burden score was 22.75 +/- 10.85 and the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale score was 22.75 +/- 10.85. The mean score of the type of illness domain was 5.53 +/- 2.12. The overall mean global quality of life score was 64.30 +/- 12.60. Conclusions: As the symptom burden experienced by the lung cancer patients increased, their perception of the illness became more negative, and the longer the cyclical periods and the period of diagnosis, the patients' control over their illness decreased.Öğe Understanding Family Members in the Palliative Phases of Their Loved Ones(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Gurel, Tugba Yardimci; Mert, HaticeBecause of aging and rising rates of chronic diseases, the demand for palliative care services is increasing worldwide, and patients need family members to care for them throughout the palliative care process. This study aimed to investigate the experiences of the relatives of palliative care patients during hospitalization. This was a qualitative study conducted with 15 family members. A topic guide was used to conduct semistructured face-to-face interviews. Content analysis was used to analyze the textual data. As a result of the analysis, 3 main themes, 6 categories, and 24 subcategories emerged. The main themes were reactions to the admission, feeling obligated to care, and coping processes. The interviews revealed that most participants had misconceptions and a lack of knowledge about palliative care. Almost all of the family members expressed that they experienced various emotions during this process and had trouble coping. The significant finding of our study is that culture and religious beliefs have a considerable influence on caregiving. A limited number of studies in the literature provide detailed insight into the state of patient relatives. Therefore, this study is critical in guiding palliative care professionals in understanding the requirements of this vulnerable group.Öğe Web-Based Intervention to Improve Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Patients' Shock-Related Anxiety and Quality of Life: A Randomized Controlled Trial(Sage Publications Inc, 2019) Yardimci, Tugba; Mert, HaticeIn spite of its effectiveness, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients face psychological problems such as shock-related anxiety due to device shocks. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a web-based intervention program for ICD patients would reduce shock-related anxiety and improve quality of life compared with usual care. This was a randomized controlled trial study including a total of 76 patients. Data were collected using Turkish versions of the Florida Shock Anxiety Scale and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) at 0 (baseline), 3, and 6 months. Following intervention, there was a significant decrease in shock anxiety levels of patients and a statistically significant increase in social functioning, role-physical, mental health, vitality, and bodily pain subdimensions of SF-36. While no statistically significant difference was found between groups in terms of summary scores of SF-36, our results suggest that web-based interventions can be useful for ICD patients.
