(ISTANBUL UNIV-CERRAHAPASA, 2019-01-01) Uslu, Yasemin; Unver, Vesile; Kocatepe, Vildan; Karabacak, Ukke
Chemotherapy is one of the treatment methods increasingly used in cancer. In this article, we aimed to share our simulation experiences within the scope of the elective course of Cancer Nursing in the Nursing Internship (4th year) program in the process of teaching safe chemotherapy administration methods. Simulation-based experience should be designed to attain specified educational goals and expected results as best as possible. Scenario implementation is based on the criteria of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning standards. A biologically safe drug preparation cabin in the drug preparation room of a simulation center was used, and a medium-fidelity mannequin-based simulator evaluating the vital signs was utilized as the simulator during the simulation implementation. In the patient history prepared within the scope of the scenario, the students were expected to achieve goals. An analysis was performed by a trainer who followed attentively the implementation during the scenario. In the analysis stage, sessions including 8-10 students were held using the Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation. A checklist was used to evaluate the skill steps of the students objectively. It is thought that this simulation scenario maintained in accordance with the standards of best practice of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning would guide the readers. The simulation is considered to be an effective method for safe medications, and it is recommended to plan different scenarios according to the levels of student.

(ISTANBUL UNIV-CERRAHAPASA, 2017-01-01) Kocatepe, Vildan; Ugur, Esra; Karabacak, Ukke
Aim: The study was conducted in order to determine the relation between the trait anger and anger expression styles and the care behaviour of the nurses working in intensive care and palliative care units. Method: 64 nurses working in 2nd and 3nd level intensive care and palliative care units of a research and training hospital was formed the sample of the definitive study. ``Trait Anger - Anger Expression Style Scales{''}, ``Caring Behaviors Inventory-24{''} and ``Personal Identification For{''} were used as data collection tools. The analysis of the data was made by using the SPSS 15.0 package software with number, percentage, average, standard deviation, correlation analyses, Kruskal Walli analyses, Mann Whitney U test, t test. Results: The nurses' continuous anger scores were found 20.32 +/- 4.98

(KARE PUBL, 2017-01-01) Ulus, Bahire; Sahin, Gizem; Karabacak, Ukke; Aslan, Fatma Eti
Objectives: This study was conducted in order to analyze the knowledge and opinions of mothers of daughters in Turkey regarding the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at 8 public family health centers at primary health care institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Health located in Ataehir, in Istanbul province. A total of 252 mothers of daughters participated. A sociodemographic characteristics form and an HPV vaccine evaluation questionnaire were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed using percentage, frequency distribution, a chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Results: Most of the participating mothers were between the ages of 28 and 47 years (68.7\%), had a high school graduate education or less (82.5\%), were not employed (67.9\%), and had a low family income (57.6\%). The majority (95.6\%) had no experience with cervical cancer in their family, 60.7\% had never heard of HPV infection, 72.2\% did not know that HPV infection is related to cervical cancer, 54.8\% had never heard of the HPV vaccine, 89.7\% had not been advised to have their daughters vaccinated, and 98.8\% had not yet had their daughters vaccinated. Among the factors influencing the mothers' information about HPV infection were age (p=0.021), education level (p<0.001), work status (p<0.001), mothers' marriage age (p<0.001) and family income level (p=0.009). It was determined that a greater education level positively influenced the mothers' intention to get the HPV vaccine for their daughter (p=0.044). Conclusion: This study revealed that the mothers had very limited knowledge of the HPV vaccine and that health professionals do not sufficiently inform parents on this subject. It was also found that the high cost of the vaccine and other influences had a negative impact on intention to pursue obtaining the vaccine.

BACKGROUND This research was conducted to analyze the impact of visiting patients in the intensive care unit on the vital signs of the patients. METHODS This descriptive study was conducted at the emergency surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital in Istanbul. The sample consisted of 43 patients aged 18 and above, who stayed at the unit for more than 24 hours. Data collection included the demographic features of the patients as well as the information and evaluation form including the vital signs of patients before, during and after visits. Data were measured before, during and after visits. RESULTS 39.5\% (n=17) of the patients were female and 60.5\% (n=26) were male. Values before and after visits, respectively, were as follows: Mean fever 36.7 +/- 0.81 and 36.8 +/- 94
