    Introduction Even in the absence of a pandemic, pediatric oncology patients have decreased immunological levels. This condition requires families to monitor their children's risk of infection on a frequent basis. The possibility of being exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a hospital or community environment has created significant concern among cancer families.Objectives This study sought to ascertain the quality of life of parents who sought treatment for their children at a pediatric oncology clinic during the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as the factors that influenced it.Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study included 62 parents with children ages 0 to 19 who receive treatment for their children at the pediatric oncology clinic of an application and research center in Turkey's Western Black Sea area. The Participant Information Form and The Scale of Quality of Life-Family Version (QOL-FV) were used to collect data. The researchers used the face-to-face interview approach to obtain data. To investigate the differences in scale levels based on the descriptive characteristics of the parents, one-way analysis of variance, t -test, and post hoc (Tukey, least significant difference) analyses were used.Results The total mean score of the parents' QOL-FV was found to be 148.097 +/- 25.843 (87-258). In the study, it was determined that financial difficulties, difficulties in accessing the hospital during the treatment process, and changes in daily activity/behavior had negative effects on parents' quality of life.Conclusion Most of the parents who participated in our study stated that their quality of life got worse with the pandemic. It was determined that the COVID-19 pandemic had effects on the quality of life of parents of pediatric oncology patients in various ways.

    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Sahin, Ozlem Ozturk; Topan, Aysel; Akozlu, Zeynep; Kolukisa, Tugce
    This study was conducted to evaluate the BMI of the children with intellectual disability and the factors affecting their BMI. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out between March 2016 and April 2016 in Turkey and consisted of 135 children. Children's anthropometric measurements were and their BMI values were calculated. Categorization of children by BMI percentile according to AAP reference values was performed. There was a significant difference between the BMI categories of the children (p < 0.05) and the education level of children's father (x( 2 ) = 8.960; p = 0.028), the degree of intellectual disability (x( 2 ) = 16.113; p = 0.008), the presence of other disabilities (x( 2 ) = 22.013; p = 0.000), type of disability (x( 2 ) = 21.359; p = 0.001), the nutrient intake (x( 2 ) = 38.935; p = 0.000) and the presence of nutritional problems (x( 2 ) = 7.687; p = 0.042). Father's education level, children's degree of disability, child's having presence of other disabilities, child's being dependent in the view of nutrient intake, and child's having nutritional problems were determined as factors affecting BMI.

    Internet Addiction and Stressors Causing Internet Addiction in Primary School Children during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Descriptive and Cross-Sectional Study from Turkey
    (Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2021) Akozlu, Zeynep; Kolukisa, Tugce; Sahin, Ozlem Ozturk; Topan, Aysel
    In this study, we aimed to examine the status of internet addiction in children and the stress factors causing it during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study was a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study sample included 154 parents of 7- to 10-year-old students. Participant information form and the Family-Child Internet Addiction Scale were used as data collection tools. The data of the study were collected with a questionnaire (via Google Forms) between July 15 and December 15, 2020. Of the children participating in the study, 90.3% (n=139) showed no symptoms and 9.7% (n=15) showed limited symptoms in terms of internet addiction. The total mean score that the children obtained from the scale was found to be 24.6 +/- 16.9. It was observed that the frequency of a child playing games with parents, the parents watching news about COVID-19 with the child, and the child being frequently warned about the COVID-19 precautions increased the children's internet addiction scores (p<0.05). This study demonstrated that if the pandemic process was prolonged, internet addiction in children could be further triggered.

    Pediatric nursing students' self-efficacy regarding medication administration and clinical comfort and worry: A pre-posttest comparative study of nurse mentoring versus peer mentoring
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Sahin, Ozlem Ozturk; Akozlu, Zeynep; Tasdelen, Yeliz
    Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of mentoring practice by graduate nursing students and clinical nurses on students' self-efficacy in pediatric medication administration, clinical comfort and worry levels of students taking pediatric nursing courses. Background: Children are a highly sensitive group against medication administration errors. Improving the selfefficacy of student nurses who will work with this group toward medication administration is essential. Mentoring programs can increase students' skills and self-efficacy by reducing their stress levels during clinical practice.Design: The research is a two-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental research design.Settings: The study was conducted in the pediatric units of a training and research hospital located in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey between October 1, 2022 and December 30, 2022, as part of the clinical practice of the Pediatric Nursing course in the fall semester of 2022-2023.Participants: The study sample consisted of 143 students (peer mentoring group=73, nurse mentoring group=70) who were 3rd-year students taking the pediatric nursing course.Methods: Participant information form, Medication Administration Self-Efficacy Scale in Children for Nursing Students (MASSCNS) and Pediatric Nursing Students Clinical Comfort and Worry Tool (PNSCCWT) were administered to the students before the clinical practice. Then, the groups received mentoring practice in the clinical practice area for 14 weeks. At the end of the practice, MASSCNS and PNSCCWT were administered to the students again. Results: The groups were homogeneously distributed when compared according to descriptive characteristics (p > 0.05). The self-efficacy scores of the students in both groups after clinical practice were significantly different from those before clinical practice (tnurse=-4.724, pnurse=0.000 <0.05; tpeer=-3.742, ppeer=0.001 <0.05).Conclusions: This study's results indicate that nurse mentoring and peer mentoring effectively increase nursing students' self-efficacy during pediatric clinical practice. While nurse mentors decreased students' worry, peer mentors increased students' clinical comfort levels.
