This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of web-based education on psychomotor skills teaching and information levels in nursing students. The research is a randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample consisted of 90 students. In order to collect data, intravenous-Intramuscular injection skill checklists and drug administration knowledge tests created by the researchers were used. According to the post test; it was determined that the mean scores of intravenous catheterization and intramuscular injection skill scores of the students in the experimental group were statistically higher than the control group (p=0.000, effect size d=1.399, 1.347 respectively). In addition, it was determined that the information tests point average of the students in the experimental group (69.73±8.81) was higher than that of the control group (58.37±8.53), and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p=0.000, effect size d=1.310). As a result, it was determined that web-based education increased the psychomotor skills and information levels of nursing students. [Med-Science 2024; 13(3.000): 681-8]

Nursing Students' Self-Efficacy Levels in Clinical Performance and their Perceptions of the Nursing Process

The literature lacked research examining the ethical attitudes of nursing students in nursing care and their ability to manage patient expectations. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' ethical attitudes in providing care and their ability to manage patient expectations. This descriptive-correlational study was carried out in the nursing school a university located in eastern region of Turkey. The population of the study consisted of 1254 students studying at nursing school. The sample consisted of 400 students. The data were collected using the Participant Information Form, Ethical Attitude Scale for Nursing Care and Ability of the Managing Patient Expectations Scale. Descriptive statistics, MANOVA, Correlation and the Cronbach's Alpha reliability analysis were used to evaluate the data. Within the scope of the study, students' ethical attitudes in nursing care and their ability of the managing patient expectations were found to be at high levels. On the other hand, it was found that the ethical attitude in nursing care had a significant and positive effect on the ability to manage patient expectations. The results of the study indicate that a nurse's ethical attitude is a significant factor that predicts their ability to manage patient expectations. [Med-Science 2022; 11(2.000): 452-6]

This research was conducted to assess the fatigue and burnout levels of nurses and the factors affecting those levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive-correlational research was carried out with 270 nurses at a university hospital in the eastern region of Turkey. To collect data, ‘Information Form, ‘The Checklist Individual Strength' and ‘The Maslach Burnout Inventory' were used. It was found that the mean age of the nurses who participated in this study was 27.5±5.7 years, 73.3% were female, 82.6% were bachelor graduates, 63% were single, 35.2% worked in intensive care units. It was found that the nurses obtained a total score of 94.6±20.5 on the CIS and 48.4±8.3 points on the MBI. Nurses' fatigue levels were high and burnout levels were moderate. A positive correlation was found between fatigue and burnout (r: .288**, p=.000). The difference between gender, weekly working hours, duration of professional experience (not with fatigue) and working unit and fatigue and burnout was found to be statistically significant (p [Med-Science 2022; 11(1.000): 310-20]

Purpose: This descriptive study investigated the effects of chronic illness adaptation on the healthy lifestyle behaviours of patients in internal services. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted with 104 inpatients at the Bingöl State Hospital. No sampling method was used in the study. A descriptive information form was utilised to record the patients’ sociodemographic characteristics. The Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale (ACIS) and the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale-II (HLBS-II) were used to collect the data on their adaptation and behaviour levels. Results: The patients’ total mean ACIS score was 84.99±12.45, meaning that their adaptation to chronic illness was above average. Moreover, since their total mean HLBS-II score was 130.27±24.50, their adaptation to healthy lifestyle behaviours was moderate. The patients’ adaptation to chronic illness positively affected their healthy lifestyle behaviours (B=1.045), and this result was statistically significant. Conclusion: Chronic illness adaptation positively influenced healthy lifestyle behaviours.

This research was carried out to determine the evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies of nursing students studying in a university and the effective factors. This study is descriptive and cross-sectional of nursing students studying at Inonu University. In the research, a sample selection was not made, as the research aimed to reach the whole university. In the study, two data collection tools were used. A personal information form was developed by the researcher to determine the socio-demographic and academic achievement status of the students, as was a student evidence-based practice questionnaire (S-EBPQ). The data were collected from 15 September to 1 October 2018 by face-to-face interview technique. The mean score of the students in the S-EBPQ was found to be 83.75±10.02; the mean score obtained from the behavior subscale was found to be 48.87±7.54; the mean score obtained from the skill subscale was 19.70±3.67, and the mean score obtained from the knowledge subscale was 18.63±3.29. As a result of this study evaluating the EBP competencies of nursing students, the students knowledge, skills, and attitudes subscale, as well as their total average score, were found to be above average.
