Item The Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination: Turkish Mothers'Views(KARE PUBL, 2017-01-01) Ulus, Bahire; Sahin, Gizem; Karabacak, Ukke; Aslan, Fatma EtiObjectives: 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.Item The donor site pain assessment of the patients who were reconstructed split-thickness graft(KARE PUBL, 2015-01-01) Delice, Emine Yuksel; Ulus, BahireObjectives: In this study we examined the donor site pain intensity of the patients who were reconstructed by split thickness skin graft (STSG) due to tissue defect. Methods: This descriptive study was performed in a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic of a State Hospital in Istanbul. Sampling selection wasn't made, all (31) cases were studied with STSG in 2013. As data collection forms, we used Patient Information Form and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). In the analysis of the data percentage, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney-U tests were used. Results: 38.71\% of the patients were female and 61.29\% were male. It was determined that grafting application was mostly made in the lower extremity and 61\% of the patients were able to perform individual functions independently. It was observed that pain intensity increased as the donor area expanded. It was also determined that semi-dependent patients' pain intensity was higher than independent patients'. In 64.52\% of the patients graft donor area was wider than 10cm(2). The postoperative pain intensity of the patients who were reconstructed by STSG in the lower extremity was higher than patients who were reconstructed by STSG in the upper extremity area. Conclusion: It was observed that the donor area pain intensity of patients was the most severe on the first day after surgery and the least severe on the sixth day after surgery. In conclusion, the pain evaluation of the donor area has to be assessed by the nurse on the first day after surgery.
