Publication Metadata only The effectiveness of a nail-biting prevention program among primary school students(WILEY, 2018) GÜR, KAMER; Guer, Kamer; Erol, Saime; Incir, NursultanPurpose: This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of a program called Do Not Bite Your Nails, Cut Your Nails, which is based on a health promotion model to change the nail-biting habit among primary school students. Design and methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted using the pre- and post-test and interrupted time series design. The study sample included 299 students. Nurse observation form and nail follow-up chart were used to evaluate behavioral outcomes. This program was conducted under the guidance of school nurses and lasted 6 weeks. The data were analyzed using McNemar and Cochran Q tests. Results: The number of those who selected yes for I cut my nails this weekend and I didn't bite my nails today increased. However, the number of the students that selected yes for I pulled out my nails, I pulled out and ate, I pulled out my nail skin, My cuticle bled today, and My nails hurt today decreased significantly and statistically compared with pretest, first and second observation, and post-test (P < 0.001). The rate of the students with minimum one abnormal finger was 83.9% according to observations, and 6% following the intervention (P < 0.001). New insights were provided into the program to diminish nail-biting habit. Practice implications: The program significantly reduced the nail-biting rate among primary school students. The nurse that implement this program will be able to do a comprehensive evaluation of students' nail-biting habits, perform solution-focused interventions, and prevent advanced complications that might develop in connection to nail-biting. Thus, the effectiveness of nursing implementations will improve in the prevention of nail-biting habit, early diagnosis, and changing students' habits. Do Not Bite Your Nails, Cut Your Nails program can be applied again in different schools.Publication Open Access The Frequency of and Contributing Factors to the Psychological Abuse of Older People in Nursing Homes in Turkey(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2020-05-02) GÜR, KAMER; Erol, Saime; Gur, Kamer; Hellac, Feyza; Canbay, TugbaObjective: This study investigated the frequency of the psychological abuse of older people in nursing homes and contributing factors. Methods: The population for this methodological and descriptive study was 161 elderly individuals living in two nursing homes in Istanbul. The data were collected using Barthel's Index, the Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) and the Elders' Psychological Abuse Scale (EPAS). The scale's reliability was tested using the Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20) and test-retest analysis. Its validity was tested using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and concurrent validity. The frequency of abuse is presented using numbers, percentages, and means. The relationship between the independent variables and abuse was evaluated using the t-test and Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis. Results: The participants' mean age was 73.5 years (42.2% were older than 80 years); 44.7% were female. The mean scores were 5.57 +/- 4.12 on the EPAS and 89.13 +/- 17.13 on Barthel's Index. The KR-20 reliability coefficient for the scale was 0.80. The test-retest reliability was 0.97; p=0.000, and the content validity index was 90%. Of the participants, 14.3% were exposed to psychological abuse. Individuals with high dependency and low levels of income, education and mental capacity were exposed to psychological abuse more frequently (p <0.05). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the originally English EPAS is reliable and valid.Publication Open Access Digital Game Addiction and Lifestyle Behaviors in Turkish Adolescents(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2021-05-26) EROL, SAİME; Aksoy, Zahide; Erol, SaimeObjective: Digital game addiction is a concern that threatens public health around the world, especially in adolescents. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between digital game addiction and lifestyle behaviors in adolescents. Methods: The research was carried out in from three high schools offering different types of education in Maltepe district between March and April 2017. Data were collected by using the Introductory Information Form, Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents and Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale. Data were evaluated in computer environment. Descriptive data were shown with numbers, percentages and means. The relationship between game addiction and independent variables was evaluated by chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson Correlation Analysis and Logistic Regression Analysis. Results: 22.4% of adolescents were determined to be addicted to digital games. The mean scores of health responsibility, nutrition, interpersonal relationships and stress management of adolescents who had game addiction were significantly lower than the adolescents without game addiction. Digital game addiction rates were significantly higher in boys, vocational high school students, ninth grade students, and in those who described that their family had low income, that they had very poor relations with their families/friends, that they had very poor living conditions and that they were generally unhappy. Conclusions: It was determined that game addiction negatively affected adolescents' lifestyle behaviors, and there was a negative, low to moderately significant correlation between interpersonal relationships and stress management and game addiction.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.

B., Aktaş B., ÇAPIK C., EROL S., et al.Social participation is important in terms of active aging and quality of life during old age. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the social participation of older adults in rural and urban areas in Turkey. Related factors were similarly identified. The sample comprised 1,224 people over the age of 60, with a mean of 69.78 ± 7.48 years. Among the participants, 61.4% live in urban areas. The data were collected in family health centers through face-to-face interview and the Interview Form, Social Participation Assessment Form, and Social Participation Dimension of the Turkish Version of the Aging Module of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) Scale. The scores obtained from the social participation dimension of the scale among the elderly in urban areas were higher than those obtained among the elderly in rural areas (p =.002). In addition, older adults in the urban areas who talked on the phone several times a month (p =.025), went to concerts, theater/cinema, museum/exhibition, various visual/musical shows (p =.046), and engaged in gardening (p =.032) obtained higher scores in the social participation dimension than the other participants. Health care professionals should take an advocacy role in building relationships with policy makers and create suitable socialization opportunities for older adults in urban and rural areas.
