    AIM: This study aimed to investigate whether the learning styles of nursing students affected their anxiety and learning levels during simulation education. METHOD: This was a cross-sectional and quasi-experimental study, which included a total of 60 nursing students. The students received simulation education about labor management and first care of newborns. The Learning Styles Inventory III, the Trait Anxiety Scale, and a pretest were used before the simulation education, and the Perceived Learning Scale and a posttest were used after the simulation education to collect data. RESULTS: According to data from the learning styles inventory, 81.6\% of the students had a diverging learning style, 11.7\% had an assimilating learning style, and 6.7\% had an accommodating learning style. The mean state anxiety score was 49.83 +/- 10.59 just before the simulation. The mean pretest score was 51.50 +/- 16.96 and the mean posttest score was 54.17 +/- 15.22. The perceived learning score was 35.45 +/- 5.12. There was a significant difference in anxiety levels in terms of learning styles (p<.005). CONCLUSION: Most of the students in this study had a diverging learning style. Their anxiety levels did not change depending on their learning styles. The pretest/posttest results and perceived learning levels showed that simulation helped to achieve learning in all types of learners.

    Psychiatric comorbidities in cases with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a case series
    (YERKURE TANITIM \& YAYINCILIK HIZMETLERI A S, 2019-01-01) Ozer, Urun; Tufan, Ali Evren
    Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a hereditary multisystem disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, characterized by proximal muscle weakness in early childhood, generally resulting in death before the age of 20 years. Cognitive and neurobehavioral changes are prevalent in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Furthermore, psychiatric disorders have been reported. Here we present 12 cases with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, aiming to address psychiatric comorbidities and to examine anxiety and depression levels as well as the quality of life in these cases. Twelve inpatients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy were followed, according to their ages, by an adult psychiatrist or a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Psychiatric examination and detailed psychiatric and medical history-taking were performed. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the KINDL Questionnaire were administered and family interviews conducted. In 5 cases, comorbid psychiatric diagnoses were present, including depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Anxiety levels according to the HADS were higher than threshold level in two cases. Alongside cognitive and neurobehavioral changes, psychiatric comorbidities such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder might be seen in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, as was the case with our patients. At the same time, due to the chronic illness process and disability involved, psychosocial support is needed both for the patient and the family. Therefore, it is important that psychiatry should be part of a holistic treatment approach and that psychiatric support should be provided right from the first years in these cases.
