Publication Open Access Reliability and validity of the turkish version of work readiness scale for graduate nurses among senior nursing students(2022-12-01) ERGÜN, AYŞE; BEYHAN A., ERGÜN A.Objective: This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the work readiness scale for graduate nurses among senior-class Turkish nursing students. Methods: This is a study of methodological design. A method of translation—back translation, pilot testing, and exploring content validity through a review of 10 raters—was used to create the Turkish version of the work readiness scale. The work readiness scale for graduate nurses was applied to 1008 senior nursing students enrolled in 15 universities in Turkey. Demo version of SPSS 28 and Lisrel 9.2 for Windows was used for statistical analysis. Reliability was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha, and the scale’s factor construct was explored with confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The content validity index of the scale was found to be 0.97. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the general fit coefficients related to a 4-factor model were acceptable. The convergent and discriminant validity results obtained from factor loadings were largely supported . The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.93. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the work readiness scale for graduate nurses was found to be valid and reliable and can be used in the Turkish population to assess work readiness.Publication Open Access Bergen insomnia scale for adults: The psychometric features of the Turkish version(2023-03-01) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Kula T. B., Yalcin I., ERGÜN A.Objective: Insomnia is an important health problem affecting physical, spiritual and social well-being of individuals negatively and it should be early diagnosed as well. The purpose is to appraise the psychometric features of the Turkish version of the Bergen Insomnia Scale (BIS) for adults.Methods: A total of 495 adults were included in the methodological study in Turkey. Turkish form of BIS was designed within the scope of study conducted in adolescent sample. Construct validity was appraised with exploratory, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent and discriminant validity. Internal-consistency and test-retest analysis were used for reliability.Results: According to results of explanatory, confirmatory factor analysis; it was identified that BIS showed a two-factor structure as daytime symptoms (a=.85) and nocturnal symptoms (a=.80). Item-total correlations were found as >=.59 and test-retest correlation as .83.Conclusions: The Turkish version of the Bergen Insomnia Scale for adults was assessed as valid and reliable.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 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 Effect of a nurse-led hypertension management program on quality of life, medication adherence and hypertension management in older adults: A randomized controlled trial(WILEY, 2020) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Kolcu, Merve; Ergun, AyseAim This study evaluated the effects of a nurse-led hypertension management program on quality of life, medication adherence and hypertension management in older adults. Methods A total of 74 hypertensive older adults residing in two different nursing homes were randomized to the intervention group (n= 37) or control group (n= 37). The intervention group participated in a training program consisting of 20 weeks of health education and motivational meetings. Data were collected using a hypertension management knowledge and behavior questionnaire, quality of life scale, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, and measurements of blood pressure and anthropometric and biochemical parameters. Data were analyzed using the chi(2)-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-WhitneyU-test. Results Post-test systolic (118.64 +/- 10.04 mmHg) and diastolic (77.83 +/- 5.34 mmHg) blood pressures, and total cholesterol levels (178.43 +/- 25.59 mg/dL) were significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group (130.54 +/- 15.08 mmHg, 82.70 +/- 7.69 mmHg, 200.7 +/- 34.57 mg/dL, respectively). Post-test hypertension knowledge score (20.75 +/- 1.01), medication adherence rate (100.0%), and quality of life scale physical component (58.42 +/- 13.93) and mental component (64.24 +/- 12.85) scores were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (12.21 +/- 2.48; 64.9%; 44.36 +/- 16.73; 53.93 +/- 15.71, respectively). In addition, mean post-test body mass index (27.19 +/- 4.62 kg/m(2)), weight (74.81 +/- 15.33 kg), waist circumference (93.29 +/- 15.20 cm), hip circumference (107.67 +/- 14.05 cm) and total cholesterol (178.43 +/- 25.59 mg/dL) values were lower than pretest (28.13 +/- 4.96 kg/m(2); 77.37 +/- 16.56 kg; 97.83 +/- 16.23 cm; 112.89 +/- 14.37 cm; 194.78 +/- 38.64 mg/dL, respectively) in the intervention group. Conclusions The nurse-led hypertension management program implemented in this study provides an example of an effective program to guide nurses who work with older adults.Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; center dot center dot: center dot center dot-center dot center dot.Publication Metadata only Ergen Sağlığı(Çukurova Nobel Tıp Kitabevi Tic. Ltd. Şti., 2022-01-01) ERGÜN, AYŞE; BAY T., ERGÜN A.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.
