    Determining The Needs Of The Families That Have a Patient In The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit And Analyzing Characteristics Of These Families
    (Drunpp-Sarajevo, 2012) Altay, Birsen; Gonener, Demet; Zengin, Nurse Seher; Ozkaptan, Bilge Bal
    Introduction: In line with the view that accepts the patient and the family as a whole; good care of the families shall be taken throughout the recovery period. Meeting the needs of the family members besides the needs of the pediatric patient will improve the quality of the care in the nursing services. Objective: The study is conducted with the objective of determining the needs of the families that have patients in the pediatric intensive care unit. Material - Method: The universe of this cross-sectional study was composed of the families of patients that were in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Samsun Ondokuz Mayis University Research and Application Hospital on July 01, 2009-November 01, 2009. 200 patient relatives, who will represent 80% of the number of patients that stayed in hospital for the period of three months, were taken into the scope of the study. In data collection, family member description form and Scale for Determining Family Members' Needs were used. In the evaluation of the data, the data were analyzed in SPSS 10.0 package program and t test and variance analysis were conducted with descriptive statistics. Result: When the first 3 important needs that the families who have patients in the intense care unit perceive and score averages were analyzed, being sure that the best care is given to their patients (3.99) takes the first place, receiving honest answers to their questions (3.96) takes the second place and receiving information about the state of the patient at least once a day (3.95) takes the third place. Insufficient notification of family members highlights the points about information need and these needs indicate the anxiety of patients. It was seen that gender, age, degree of relationship and the time spent in the intensive care unit don't affect the need score average of the family members. Moreover, it was determined that the need score averages of the family members are significantly different according to the educational backgrounds and intensive care units (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that seven out of the ten needs perceived as important by family members are information related needs and the remaining three are trust related needs. Intensive care nurses shall know the needs of the families and shall be able to meet them according to the order of priority. Such an approach will support both the patient and family in dealing with the disease.

    Hepatoprotective Effects of Curcumin on Liver Injury in Streptozocin-induced Diabetic Rats
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2024) Ozkaptan, Bilge Bal; Sagir, Dilek; Aksoy, Fatma
    Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronically elevated blood sugar levels associated with disruption of the inflammatory and oxidative state and dyslipidemia. Curcumin is a highly pleiotropic molecule with hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of curcumin on the liver of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two adult male rats were used in the study. The rats were divided into four groups: Control (C), Diabetes (D), Curcumin (CUR), and Diabetes + Curcumin (D + CUR) (n = 8). The groups given curcumin were given 60 mg/kg curcumin by gavage once a day during the 14-day study period. At the end of the experiment, biochemical, stereological, histological, and immunohistochemical analyses were performed on blood and liver samples taken from rats sacrificed. Results: After curcumin treatment in diabetic rats, there was a significant decrease in blood glucose levels, hepatic markers, and levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (P < 0.01). Furthermore, a significant increase in enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase was observed after treatment (P < 0.01). It was determined that curcumin decreased the apoptotic index and the number of dual-nucleated hepatocytes in the liver, and provided support for liver regeneration (P < 0.01). Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that curcumin has the potential to protect against hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in liver cells, and also induces regeneration in damaged liver.

    (Wiley, 2016) Ozkaptan, Bilge Bal; Kapucu, Sevgisun
    AimThis study was carried out as an intervention study to determine the effect of nursing care provided at home with the self-care model on the self-efficacy of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in northern Turkey. MethodsThe study sample totaled 106 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease divided into two groups. The intervention group and the control group each included 53 patients. To collect data, the patient data sheet, Orem's self-care model-based data collection form, symptom evaluation form, Medical Research Council dyspnea scale, and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease self-efficacy scale (CSES) were used. The nursing care applied for the intervention group consisted of four visits, two during the first month and two for the next 2 months. An educational guidebook was distributed to the intervention group during the first visit, and at all visits, education, care, and supervision were provided according to the care plan. All data were analyzed with the number, percentage, (2)-test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and Mann-Whitney U-test. ResultsThe dyspnea level measured at the last visit for the control group was high compared with the intervention group (P<0.05). The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease self-efficacy scale scores for subscale dimensions at the last visit and the general score for the intervention group were high compared with the first visit scores (P<0.05). ConclusionAccording to the study results, home nursing care based on the Orem's self-care model is effective in improving self-efficacy of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    Purpose: This study aimed at examining the relationship between patient acceptance of illness and adherence to treatment with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in a state hospital in Sinop with 200 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The Patient Identification Form, Illness Acceptance Scale, and Adherence Scale to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treatment were applied to collect the study data. Results: In our study, the mean score of the patients' acceptance scale was 24.12 +/- 9.30 and 61.5% of the patients scored below this average. This indicates that patients' acceptance levels are low. When the scores of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Acceptance Scale were evaluated, their compliance with the treatment was found to be moderate (107.39 +/- 13.55). There was a significant and negative relationship between the patients' illness acceptance scale scores and treatment adherence scale scores (-0.78). Conclusion: Majority of patients had low level of admission and moderate compliance to treatment.

    Respiratory system assessment
    (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2023) Ozkaptan, Bilge Bal
    The structures of the respiratory system allow oxygen to enter the blood and carbon dioxide to be released from the blood into the atmosphere. The lungs, located in the chest, are the basic organs of the respiratory system and maintain acid-base balance by keeping oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood within normal limits [1]. Diseases of the respiratory system disrupt the acid-base balance and oxygen supply to cells, leading to critical illness. For this reason, respiratory system anatomy, respiratory physiology, symptoms of respiratory diseases, and correct diagnosis of respiratory diseases are of great importance. Subjective data, including patient history (personal and family history, risk factors for respiratory diseases, symptoms of respiratory diseases), and objective data from physical examination and diagnostic tests (laboratory tests, radiological examinations, and systemspecific examinations such as spirometry, pulse oximetry, bronchoscopy, thoracentesis, biopsy) are the most important methods for diagnosing respiratory diseases [2]. © 2023 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

    (Wiley-Hindawi, 2021) Ozen, Nurten; Sayilan, Aylin Aydin; Ozkaptan, Bilge Bal; Sousa, Clemente Neves; Unver, Vesile
    Aim Haemodialysis (HD) commonly leads to postdialysis fatigue (PDF) and, thus, worsens the quality of life and the clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to translate, linguistically validate and determine the psychometric properties of the Postdialysis Fatigue Scale for Turkish patients with HD. Study Design A methodological study. Methods The standard lingual translation and validation methods for the initial translation of the PDF Scale and then assessed the psychometric properties of reliability and validity of the translated scale. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Piper Fatigue Scale were used to assess concurrent and construct validity. In addition, postdialysis recovery time was used it as an indirect measurement method for PDF. Results A total of 93 patients participated in the study. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of PDF was 0.773. There was a statistically significant relationship between the test and retest scores (ICC: 0.973; P < .001). PDF Scale was acceptable with 11 items. There was a positive correlation with a statistically significant relationship was present between the PDF scores and Piper Fatigue Scale (r = .488; P < .001) and VAS score (r = .656; P < .001). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the PDF Scale and the postdialysis recovery time (r = .270; P = .009), Conclusion The study results have shown that the Turkish form of the PDF Scale is a valid and reliable tool in patients undergoing HD treatment. Postdialysis recovery time may be used as an indirect measurement method to evaluate PDF.

    (Galenos Publ House, 2023) Ozkaptan, Bilge Bal; Ozen, Nurten; Sayilan, Aylin Aydin; Terzioglu, Fusun
    BACKGROUND/AIMS: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has taken its toll on individuals' mental health and physical health worldwide. Nurses, who play a key role in patient care, experience greater fear and anxiety due to their high-risk exposure to COVID-19 infection. This also leads to anxiety among undergraduate nursing students. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) for Turkish nursing students.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted with 351 nursing students from two different universities in Turkiye between May and June 2020. Participant characteristic form and the Turkish version of FCV-19S were utilized to gather the data. Psychometric tests including language validity, content validity, and reliability analyses were performed.RESULTS: The item total test correlation of all items varies between 0.537 and 0.637. The Explanatory Factor Analysis made to detect the factor design of the scale found the threshold factor loading value as 0.40. The scale's 7 items and single sub-dimension were related to the scale structure to to the Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The scale Cronbach's alpha value was determined as 0.833. The test-retest results, performed to determine the time invariance, revealed a high level of correlation between the two measurements with the Pearson correlation coefficient (r=0.734; p<0.05).CONCLUSION: A valid and reliable measurement tool was provided to Turkiye to assess nursing students' fears of COVID-19. The Turkish version of the scale can be utilized as a substantial and reliable estimation device in detecting the fear of coronavirus in nursing students.
