Öğe HIV INFECTION AND THE TURKISH PEOPLE: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY ON THE PERCEPTIONS OF SAFRANBOLU INHABITANTS(Carbone Editore, 2013) Andsoy, Isil Isik; Gungor, Tugba; Sahin, Aysegul Oksay; Kar, Gulcan; Ergil, Perize; Inanmaz, NurcanObjective: Knowledge and attitudes about HIV/AIDS were examined in a Muslim population living in the Safranbolu District of Turkey. Materials and methods: The survey was conducted over 431 participants in December 2011. A questionnaire, consisting of 47 questions, was used to measure the level of participants' knowledge and attitudes about HIV. Results: The findings indicated that the participants have sufficient knowledge of HIV and present positive attitudes toward persons living with HIV (PLWH). Nevertheless, 84% of participants stated that they would not sit in the same armchair with a PLWH, 60.3% that they would not kiss a PLWH. Mass media was the main source of information. More than half of the participants also stated their desire to learn more about HIV. Conclusions: Participants' levels of knowledge about HIV did not match their behaviors and attitudes about HIV. Due to this, education strategies to enhance knowledge levels and to develop positive attitudes toward PLWH should be employed.Öğe Nursing students' perceptions of nursing diagnoses, critical thinking motivations, and problem-solving skills during distance learning: A multicentral study(Wiley, 2022) Bayram, Aysun; Ozsaban, Aysel; Durgun, Hanife; Aksoy, Fatma; Turan, Nuray; Dalcali, Berna Kokturk; Sahin, Aysegul OksayPurpose To determine the relationship between attitude towards nursing diagnosis, critical thinking motivation, and problem-solving skills of nursing students during distance learning. Method The descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 450 first-year nursing students from four universities. The Positions on Nursing Diagnosis Scale, Critical Thinking Motivational Scale, and Problem Solving Inventory were used for data collection in June-July 2021. Findings The students' mean score of nursing diagnosis perception was 114.90 +/- 18.47, the score for expectancy main subdimension of critical thinking motivation was 4.17 +/- 1.16 and the score for value main subdimension was 4.81 +/- 1.12, and score for problem-solving skills was 90.65 +/- 19.03. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between nursing diagnosis perception and subdimension of critical thinking motivation scores (p < 0.001) and problem-solving skills score (p < 0.001). The linear regression model established to examine the effect of other scales on nursing diagnosis perception was found to be statistically significant (F = 17.516, p < 0.001). As the expectancy score increases by one unit, the perception of nursing diagnosis score increases 3.452 times (p = 0.001), the cost score increases by one unit, the perception of nursing diagnosis score increases by 3.894 (p = 0.001), and the problemsolving skills score increases by one unit, the perception of nursing diagnosis score decreases by 0.246 (p < 0.001). Conclusions To conclude that nursing diagnosis perception, critical thinking motivation, and problem-solving skills of nursing students were high and have a relationship with each other during distance education. As nursing diagnosis perception scores of students increase, their critical thinking motivation and problem-solving skills also increase. Implications for Nursing Practice The high skills of critical thinking and problem solving have an important place effectively to identify the nursing diagnosis more quickly and easily in the nursing care process.Öğe An undiscussed subject: Nurse's role in infection control of tattoo and body piercing practices(Yerkure Tanitim & Yayincilik Hizmetleri A S, 2014) Andsoy, Isil Isik; Sahin, Aysegul OksayAs a body art, tattooing and body piercing have existed throughout the centuries since ancient times, have been practiced in almost all cultures, have grown and is still growing in popularity in Western societies. Since body piercing and tattooing practices are invasive applications they need to be regulated and standardized for infection control. These standards should include sanitation, sterilization, management of single-use items, competency requirements for personnel, infection control, client record keeping and retention, preparation, care and education. Nurses have continually impetus power to improve patient education, provide advanced patient safety, apply scientific principles, and improve health promotion in evolving, multicultural societies. This article reveals the role of the nurses in infection control of tattoo and body piercing practices, which is an undiscussed subject in our country.Öğe What Turkish Nurses Know and Do about Skin Cancer and Sun Protective Behavior(Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2013) Andsoy, Isil Isik; Gul, Asiye; Sahin, Aysegul Oksay; Karabacak, HanifeBackground: Skin cancer is a global health problem that can be prevented by protective behavior promoted by nurses. In Turkey, only few studies have examined current knowledge of nurses related to skin cancer and to reveal their attitudes towards sun exposure and current protective behavior. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed from March 11 to May 30, 2013 with a study sample of 310 nurses working in two state hospitals located in Karabuk and Safranbolu. Results: Mean age of the nurses was 30.3 +/- 6.89 years and 96.1% of them had graduated with a Bachelor degree. The participants were predominantly female (n=284). Knowledge level about skin cancer was significantly higher for females compared to males. Conclusions: Nurses do not have sufficient knowledge about skin cancer and are not adequately protecting themselves from ultraviolet light, the primary risk factor for skin cancer. While they demonstrated a responsible attitude towards avoiding sunburn and the need for adequate sun protection, they do not fully appreciate the extent to which the sun can cause skin cancer and that they lack full understanding about the need to protect the skin from burning and to avoid long term sun exposure in Turkey.
