Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic process, all educational institutions were closed and traditional education was shaped according to the distance education process, and courses were conducted with distance education. Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between nursing students’ attitudes towards e-learning and perceived learning during the pandemic process. Methods: The sample of this descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 108 students studying in the second, third and fourth grades of an university’s nursing department in the 2020-2021 academic year. Data were collected using “The Descriptive Characteristics Form”, “The Attitude Scale Towards E-Learning” and “The Perceived Learning Scale”. The data of the study were evaluated by number, percentage, mean, Independent Sample T Test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analysis. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the research was 21.64 (± 1.74) and 60.2% of were women. The students’ Attitude Scale Towards E-Learning mean score was 55.96 (± 15.99), and the Perceived Learning Scale mean score was 35.90 (± 11.63). It has been stated that there was a statisticallysignificant difference between the place where the students live and the meanscores of the E-Learning Sub-dimension, grade level and Cognitive sub-dimension. There was a statistically significant and highly positive linear relationship between Perceived Learning Scale mean scores and E-Learning Attitude Scale mean scores (r = .743, p < .001). Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between the attitudes towards e-learning and perceived learning of nursing students. In distance education environments, students should be able to share their views and thoughts, to interact with the instructors and their peers to improve the perception of learning. It may be recommended that nurse educators configure the lessons in the e-learning process by supporting them with online collaborative learning approaches., Giriş: COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde yüz yüze eğitime ara verilerek geleneksel eğitim uzaktan eğitim sürecine göre şekillendirilmiş ve dersler uzaktan eğitim ile yürütülmüştür.

To summarize the evidence available on Nurse Manager Intentional Rounding (NMIR) describing the main characteristics and methodological quality of studies available, the features of rounding and the outcomes as measured to date.A systematic review.Electronic databases, including MEDLINE-EBSCHOST, PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, Clinicalkey, ScienceDirect, OVID, Sage Journals and Web of Science, were searched up to June 2021.The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guideline was used to summarize methods and report findings. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools were used to evaluate the methodology quality of the studies included.Seven studies were included with pre-post-test (n = 3), longitudinal, two-group post-tests, quasi-experimental, and retrospective study designs (n = 1, respectively). In five studies, the nurse managers were trained to conduct the rounding, which was shaped according to three main features: a structured (n = 4), a semi-structured (n = 1) and an unstructured rounding (n = 2) delivered from high (twice a day 7/7) to low intensity (once a day, 5/7). Two main outcomes have been measured to date, the patient satisfaction and some aspects related to the care quality. Five studies reported that the satisfaction scores of patients who received rounding were significantly higher than that perceived by patients not receiving rounding. About the other aspects of the quality of care, two studies documented significant improvements as a consequence of the NMIR (e.g. information accessibility, discharge instructions, coordination of care after discharge).Studies available report in general a low methodological quality, mainly due to their pragmatic nature as quality improvement projects. Therefore, transforming this field of research by establishing a methodological rigour and a theoretical foundation in both interventions and outcomes and by designing experimental approaches, might expand the evidence available on the effects of nurse managers intentional rounding.

This study aims to map the extent of the research activity in the field of financial competencies and nursing and identify main patterns, advances, gaps, and evidence produced to date.Financial competencies are important indicators of professionalism and may influence the quality of care in nursing; moreover, these competencies are the basis of health care sustainability. Despite their relevance, studies available on financial competencies in the nursing field have not been mapped to date.A scoping review was guided according to (a) the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Review and (b) the Patterns, Advances, Gaps and Evidence for practice and Research recommendations framework.A total of 21 studies were included. Main research patterns have been developing/evaluating the effectiveness of education programmes and investigating the nurse's role in the context of financial management, challenges and needs perceived by them, and tool validation to assess these competencies. The most frequently used concept across studies was 'financial management competencies' (n = 19).The sparse production of studies across countries suggests that there is a need to invest in this research field.Nurses with managerial roles should invest in their financial competencies by requiring formal training both at the academic and at the continuing education levels. They should also promote educational initiatives for clinical nurses, to increase their capacity to contribute, understand, and manage the emerging financial issues.

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. The patients with MS have some difficulties in physical, social, and psychological functions. This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the adaptation levels of patients with MS to the disease and their self-care agency levels. METHODS: This study used a descriptive design and was carried out in a university hospital's neurology clinic and outpatient clinic between July 2019 and March 2020. The sample size was determined as 258 using the known universe sampling method. Data were collected using the "Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale," the "Self-Care Agency Scale," and a "Patient Identification Form." Spearmen correlation analysis was used to evaluate the data. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients participating in the study was 41.36 (0.74) years, 74% of them had MS for more than 3 years, 58% had their last attack more than a year ago, and 27% had balance problems. The adaptation levels of patients to the disease (76.79 [0.57]) and their self-care agency (88.42 [1.34]) were slightly higher than the moderate level. A moderate-level, significant, and positive correlation was found between the adaptation level of the patients to the chronic illness and their self-care agency levels (r = 0.310, P = .000). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that there was a moderate-level, significant, and positive correlation between the patients' level of adaptation to MS disease and the level of their self-care agency. We recommend the provision of supportive professional training to patients with MS on their disease.

To determine the relationship between attitude towards nursing diagnosis, critical thinking motivation, and problem-solving skills of nursing students during distance learning.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.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 (p0.001) and problem-solving skills score (p0.001). 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, p0.001). 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 (p0.001).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.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.

Serebrovasküler olay, beyinde bir bölgenin yeterince oksijenlenememesine bağlı beyin hasarı ile sonuçlanan nörolojik bir hastalıktır. Bireylerin yaşam aktivitelerinde bağımsızlıklarını etkileyen bu hastalıklar, dünyada ve ülkemizde morbidite ve mortalite nedenleri arasında ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır. Yaşamı tehdit eden serebrovasküler hastalıklarda erken tanılama, akut bakım, hasta eğitimi, hasta ve yakınlarının desteklenmesi hastalığın birey üzerindeki etkilerini azaltmada ya da kontrol etmede önemli bir yere sahiptir. Hastaların hastalık sürecini kontrol edebilmesi ve bağımsızlıklarına yeniden kavuşabilmesi için hemşirelik bakımına olan gereksinimi artıran bu tip karmaşık hastalıkların bakım sürecinde, hemşirelik model / kuramlarından destek alınması, hemşirelere klinik karar verme süreçlerinde rehberlik ederek bütüncül bakım yaklaşımını desteklemektedir. Bununla birlikte, serebrovasküler hastalık geçiren bireylere verilen nitelikli bakım hastalığın tekrarını ve oluşabilecek komplikasyonları önlemek açısında da önemlidir. Bu bağlamda, bu olgu sunumunda serebrovasküler olay geçiren ve yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan bir hastanın Johnson Davranışsal Sistem Modeli ile yapılandırılan hemşirelik bakım planı ele alınmıştır., Cerebrovascular event is a neurological disease that results in brain damage due to inadequate oxygenation of an area in the brain. These diseases, which affect the independence of individuals in their life activities, are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world and in our country. Early diagnosis, acute care, patient education, support of patients and their relatives in life-threatening cerebrovascular diseases have an important role in reducing or controlling the effects of the disease on the individual. Taking support from nursing models / theories in the care process of such complex diseases that increase the need for nursing care so that patients can control the disease process and regain their independence, supports the holistic care approach by guiding nurses in their clinical decision-making processes. However, qualified care given to individuals with cerebrovascular disease is also important in terms of preventing recurrence and possible complications. In this context, in this case report, a nursing care plan structured with the Johnson Behavioral System Model of a patient who had a cerebrovascular event and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit was discussed.

YouTube has become an important social media platform for teaching nursing skills. However, the content, reliability and quality levels of the videos on this platform are not adequately known.This study aims to evaluate the content, reliability and quality of YouTube videos on ventrogluteal injection application.Descriptive.Online.26 videos about ventrogluteal injection.Videos were searched using the keyword "ventrogluteal injection". The content of the 26 videos meeting the inclusion criteria were evaluated using the "Ventrogluteal Intramuscular Injection Skill Form", the reliability with the "DISCERN Questionnaire", and the quality levels using the "Global Quality Scale". The videos were categorized by their theme, type and upload source, and analysed statistically.Of the 26 videos meeting the inclusion criteria, 21 (80.8%) were classified as useful information, 5 (19.2%) as misleading information by theme, 22 (84.6%) as educational, 4 (15.4%) as hormone therapy by type, 5 (19.2%) as official institutions, 13 (50%) as individual by source of uploads. The content, reliability, quality score of useful videos were higher than misleading videos. There was a significant difference (p 0.05) between reliability score and the source of video uploads. Pairwise comparisons indicated that there was no statistically significant difference (p 0.05) between the source of uploads of video and characteristics.The use of the examined YouTube videos in the training of injection into the ventrogluteal site appears to have various risks in terms of ethics and patient safety. It may be suggested that the injection videos should be prepared by competent institutions/individuals, using best practice guides to increase the content, reliability and quality levels. It should particularly be borne in mind that videos on hormone therapy can be a public health threat.
