Publication Metadata only Validity and Reliability of the Child Feeding Questionnaire in School-Aged Children(AVES PRESS LTD, 2017) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Erdim, Leyla; Ergun, Ayse; Kuguoglu, SemaObjective: The aim of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ), which was revised by Birch et al. in 2001. Methods: The study sample included parents of 495 students who were studying in the third, fourth, and fifth grades of three public elementary schools located in Fatih district of Istanbul. Data were collected using CFQ, which was developed for measuring families' beliefs, approaches, and practice regarding child nutrition. The questionnaire includes seven sub-dimensions and 31 items. For reliability analysis, the internal consistency coefficients of the CFQ sub-dimensions, test-retest coefficient, and the item-total correlation coefficient were calculated. Content and construct validity were also tested. Results: The internal consistency of sub-dimensions was between 0.59 and 0.81, while the test-retest reliability was between 0.41 and 0.64 and item-total correlation coefficients were between 0.39 and 0.70. It was determined that expert opinions regarding the items were consistent. Construct validity of the 30-item CFQ, which included seven sub-dimensions, was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Fit indices obtained from the initial CFA were not satisfactory. After modifying the error variance between items 8-9, 21-22, and 23-24, CFA was repeated, and satisfactory fit indices were found. Factor loadings of all items were between 0.31 and 0.84. Conclusion: The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, item analysis, content validity, and DFA results indicated that CFQ is valid and reliable and can be used for measuring parents' perceptions and worries regarding their children's obesity predisposition and nutrition practices.Publication Metadata only Achieving consensus on the undergraduate curriculum of public health nursing in Turkey(WILEY, 2019) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Kadioglu, Hasibe; Albayrak, Sevil; Ergun, Ayse; Yurt, Seher; Gur, Kamer; Mert, Kader; Erol, Saime; Esin, Melek NihalObjectiveThe aim of this study was to construct a consensus on the undergraduate learning objectives and topics for public health nursing (PHN) in Turkey. DesignA three-round e-mail-based Delphi study was conducted between May and July 2015 with a national sample. SampleNinety-one academics from 54 universities were invited as experts to participate by e-mail. Fifty-nine academics from 43 universities participated in the study. MeasurementsData were analyzed by computing the median, quartiles one and three, and the interquartile range for each learning outcome and topic. Consensus was considered as less than the interquartile range of 1.2. ResultsExperts who participated in the study added 70 learning outcomes, eight main topics, and 278 sub-topics during the first round. Round I generated 170 learning outcomes, 28 main topics, and 385 sub-topics. At the end of Round II, consensus was reached on 126 learning outcomes, 22 main topics and 168 sub-topics. At the end of Round III, consensus was achieved for 126 learning outcomes, 22 main topics, and 169 sub-topics. ConclusionThe learning outcomes and topics that were decided upon through a consensus process will contribute to the standardization and development of PHN education.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 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 Open Access Validity and Reliability of Sun Protection Behavior Scale among Turkish Adolescent Population(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2015-09) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Aygun, Ozcan; Ergun, AysePurpose: The aim of this research was to adapt the Sun Protection Behavior Scale (SPBS) to Turkish and to perform validity and reliability analyses. Methods: The scale was administered to a total of 900 adolescents, the retest to 91 adolescents. The construct validity of the scale was evaluated using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The EFA and CFA were applied to sample groups of 449 and 451 people, respectively. Results: The Cronbach alpha coefficients for the Turkish form of the SPBS (alpha = .74) and its sunscreen (alpha = .88) and hat use (alpha = .70) subscales were found to be >=.70 while the sun avoidance subscale was calculated to be .67. The item-total score correlation between the scale and its subscales was >=.26 and the test-retest correlations were found to be >=.51. The CFA results verified the 8-item, 3-factor Turkish version of the SPBS. The confirmatory factor loadings for the scale were .45-.80 for sun avoidance, .72-.93 for sunscreen use, and .66-.83 for hat use. In particular, SPBS and sunscreen use (p < .001) exhibited significantly high mean scores among girls and economically better backgrounds (p = .007, p < .001, respectively). In addition, SPBS (p = .004) and hat use (p < .001) revealed that the mean scores were significantly high in younger adolescents. Conclusions: The SPBS was found to be valid and reliable and its psychometric characteristics acceptable. The scale can be used to measure the behavior of Turkish adolescent populations with respect to sun protection. Copyright (C) 2015, Korean Society of Nursing Science. Published by Elsevier.

Another purpose of this study was to look for relationships between hopelessness and social comparison in adolescents with visual impairment. The research population was comprised of 130 students at a secondary school for the visually impaired in Istanbul, Turkey. Our study demonstrated a weak relationship between social comparison and hopelessness (r=0.46, P < 0.000). The mean hopelessness score for the adolescents with visual impairment was 4.59 +/- 3.12 (girls: 4.23 +/- 3.10; boys: 4.83 +/- 3.11) and social comparison score was 87.50 +/- 11.19 (girls: 88.67 +/- 11.62; boys: 86.60 +/- 10.85). Hopelessness and social comparison were not affected by being blind from birth compared to later or from being a full-time boarding student compared to being a day student. The hopeless (Beck Hopelessness Scale score 9) adolescents' social comparison scores were found lower than hopeful ones' scores (P < 000). Factors affecting hopelessness and social comparison were feelings about their father, teacher and school.Publication Metadata only The effect of an aggressive behavior prevention program on kindergarten students(WILEY, 2019) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Akcan, Arzu; Ergun, AyseObjectives This quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group was conducted to determine the effects of the Aggressive Behavior Prevention Program (ABPP) on kindergarten students. The program was based on Social Cognitive Theory. Design and Sample The study was carried out with 90 children (intervention group = 45, control group = 45) who were registered in the kindergarten of a primary school. The ABPP was implemented with children and their families for 12 weeks. Data were collected with a subscale of Aggressiveness of the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, the subscales of overt and relational aggression of the Preschool Social Behavior Scale-Teacher Form, and the Victimisation Scale. Results The ABPP significantly decreased levels of aggression among kindergarten students (p = 0.019). No significant difference was found between the two groups for peer victimization. Conclusions This is the first study in Turkey implemented by a nurse based in school and it is important because it offers an example for nurses' practice and research. Findings suggest that the ABPP is effective in reducing the aggression of children.Publication Metadata only The eating attitudes of the university students, self-efficacy and affecting factors(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2015) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Kadioglu, Merve; Ergun, AyseObjective: This research was performed to figure out eating attitudes of students, self-efficacy and factors that influence it. Method: This descriptive research was conducted with 525 university students. The data were collected with an identifier form, eating attitude test (EAT-40) and self-efficacy scale. In order to evaluate data, descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The mean score of the EAT-40 was 17.91 +/- 11.10. There was a statistically significant difference (z=-2.39, p=0.01) between the mean EAT-40 score of female students (18.67 +/- 11.30) and male students (16.79 +/- 10.73). The rate of students with EAT-40 score over 30 were found as 7.1% in the 18-19 age group, 10.9% in the 20-21 age group and 17.6%in the 22-24 age group (x(2) = 7.732; p<0.05). The eating disorder risk of the over weight and obese students was two times more than the students with normal weight, while the eating disorder risk of the weak students was 2.9 times lower than the students with normal weight. There was no difference between the mean self-efficacy score of the ones whose EAT40 score was over 30 and under 30. Conclusions: The students being overweight and obese, being not happy about their weights, being on a diet and stating that their nutrition would be affected in case of stress were found at risk in terms of the eating disorder.Publication Open Access Validity and Reliability of the Sleep and Lifestyle Questionnaire(GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2019-09-01) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Bay, Tuba; Ergun, AyseObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Sleep and Lifestyle Questionnaire for adolescents. Materials and Methods: The Sleep and Lifestyle Questionnaire consists of 12 questions developed to assess sleep, television, and computer habits of adolescents. The questionnaire was applied to a total of 1.476 students, and 112 students were retested four weeks later. The content validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by opinions from 10 experts, construct validity was evaluated by chi-square analysis. The test-retest was performed for the reliability of the questions in the questionnaire and kappa for the categorical variable, Spearman's correlation analysis for ordinal data, and the percentage of agreement for continuous variables were calculated. Results: Content validity index of Sleep and Lifestyle Questionnaire was found as 0.99. The chi-square analysis of the construct validity demonstrated that the students whose sleep time was less than the median has a statistically significant higher rate of falling asleep, difficulty in awakening, and being sleepy at school.
