Publication Metadata only The Family Management of Childhood Chronic Conditions: Measurement in a Turkish Sample(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Ergun, Ayse; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Erol, Saime; Gur, Kamer; Kolac, Nurcan; Kadioglu, HasibePurpose: The principal aim of this study was to adapt the FaMM into the Turkish language and test its validity and reliability. Design and methods: Data were collected from a total of 395 parents of children with chronic disease. The FaMM was translated using the translation and back-translation method. The reliability analysis of the FaMM was performed using Cronbach alpha coefficients, item-total correlations and test-retest correlations. Construct validity for the scale was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Results: The overall content validity index was 95%, signifying that the FaMM has good content validity. The CFA of the Turkish version of the FaMM did not confirm the original factorial structure. The model of three subscales for the Turkish FaMM was validated using EFA. The values of >= 0.70 for the Cronbach alpha coefficient, >0.25 for the item-total correlations and >0.40 for the test-retest application correlations for 2 weeks were found to be acceptable levels for the instruments and its subscales. Conclusions: The FaMM was found to be valid, reliable and appropriate for Turkish culture and psychometric characteristics were satisfactory. Practice implications: The FaMM can be used in evaluating the management of illness in families with children with chronic disease. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.

This quasi-experimental study was of pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 50 students of a primary school formed the intervention group, while 53 students from the same school formed the control group. Data were collected with a demographic form, a nail-biting follow-up form, and photographs of the fingernails. It was found that 68.9% of students were biting seven or more of their nails; 46.6% had damaged nail beds. In the intervention group, the rate of the children who were not biting their nails (baseline = 0%, 4th week = 56.0%, 8th week = 64.0%) increased significantly compared to the control group (baseline = 0%, 4th week = 15.1%, 8th week = 18.9%). Outcomes indicate the efficacy of the healthy nails program in reducing the nail-biting problem in schoolchildren.Publication Metadata only Adolesan fiziksel aktivite anketinin Türkçe geçerlik ve güvenirliği(2021-07-21) ERGÜN, AYŞE; ŞİŞMAN, FATMA NEVİN; ERDİM L., ERGÜN A., ŞİŞMAN F. N.Publication Metadata only The relationship between insomnia and trait anger and anger expression among adolescents(WILEY, 2021) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Sisman, Fatma N.; Basakci, Dilan; Ergun, AyseProblem: Sleeplessness and inadequate sleep may cause an adolescent to experience reduced self-control and behavioral problems that include anger and an inclination toward crime. This study aimed to examine the relationship between insomnia and trait anger and anger expression among adolescents. Methods: The study was conducted with 749 students from 27 high schools who were selected by using the stratified cluster sampling method. The data were collected with an Individual Characteristics Form, the Trait Anger/Anger Expression Inventory, and the Insomnia Severity Index. Findings: The insomnia scores of 14.0% of the participants were over the clinical insomnia threshold of 15 points. A positive relationship was found between insomnia and trait anger, anger-in, anger-out scores but a negative relationship with anger control scores. It was observed that the determinants of the severity of insomnia were trait anger and anger-in, dozing off in class, feeling anger after a sleepless night, sleeping <6 h a night during the week and over the weekend. Conclusion: It was found that 14.0% of the participants experienced insomnia and there was a two-way correlation between insomnia and anger among adolescents.Publication Metadata only The effect of psychological state and social support on nail-biting in adolescents: An exploratory study(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Tok, Ozlem; Ergun, AyseNail-biting is one of the most common behavioral problems in children. This study aimed to examine factors affecting nail-biting among adolescents and the effects of psychological state and social support on nail-biting. This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May of 2014 in seven schools in Istanbul (N=724). Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Brief Symptom Inventory, and Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale. This study found that 48.2% of adolescents in the 11- to 17-years-old age group had a habit of nail-biting. Anxiety, depression, negative self image, somatization, hostility, and three global index scores of adolescents who bit their nails were significantly higher than in those who did not. Social support scores of those who bit their nails were significantly lower than in those who did not in the mother' and classmates' subscales and total scores. Psychological state and social support were factors affecting nail-biting among adolescents.Publication Metadata only Effect of the Nurse-Led I Am the Hero of my Body program on the sexual abuse knowledge of children: A quasi-experimental study(KARE PUBL, 2021) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Akgul, Esma; Darak, Sevda; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Ergun, AysePublication Metadata only Sağlığın değerlendirilmesi(Vize Yayıncılık, 2016-01-01) ERGÜN, AYŞE; EROL, SAİME; GÜR, KAMER; ŞİŞMAN, FATMA NEVİN; ERGÜN A., EROL S., GÜR K., ŞİŞMAN F. N.Publication Open Access Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the behavior assessment for children (BAC) scale(SPRINGER, 2021-11) SEZER BALCI, AYŞE; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Ergun, Ayse; Sezer Balci, AyseBehavioral problems are seen in one out of four school-age children. There are difficulties in evaluating children's behavior in Turkish culture and therefore a valid and reliable measuring tool is needed for assessing behavioral problems in this age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Behavior Assessment for Children (BAC). The study was conducted using the cross-sectional data collection method to examine the content validity, factor structure, measurement invariance, reliability of BAC based on data from 495 parents and 14 teachers. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used for testing content validity. Reliability analysis was carried out with Cronbach's alpha, MacDonald's omega test, item total correlations, Spearman Brown's and Guttman's split-half reliability coefficients, percent agreement and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Construct validity was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The measurement invariance was examined by multiple-group CFA. The CVI of the BAC was found to be .92. Three models were tested with CFA, and a 17-item, three-factor (attention, emotion, self-control) structure of the BAC was finally supported; this dimensional structure proved to be invariant across gender. Factor loadings varied between .56 and .83. Cronbach's alpha was .93; ICC was .60. Percent agreement varied between 41.6%-63.1%. It was determined that the BAC scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to assess the behavioral problems of Turkish children. Its results can moreover contribute to the cross-cultural study of behavior problems and add to worldwide discussions.Publication Metadata only Sağlığın geliştirilmesine yönelik randomize kontrollü çalışmalar sistematik inceleme(2012-01-13) SEZER BALCI, AYŞE; ŞİŞMAN, FATMA NEVİN; ERGÜN, AYŞE; SEZER BALCI A., ŞİŞMAN F.
