    ObjectiveThe 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.

    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, Ayse
    Aim 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.
