Article The Relationship Between Critical Thinking Skills and Caregiving Roles of Nurses(2023) Karaca, Anita; Kaya, Gizem; Kaya, LeylaBackground: Critical thinking is a skill highly needed by nurses to solve problems effectively and make the best decisions in clinical environments. Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between critical thinking skills and the caregiving roles of nurses. Methods: This descriptive study included 220 nurses working in a training and research hos- pital. The data were collected between February and March 2021 using an online question- naire containing the “Nurse Information Form,” “Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire,” and “Attitude Scale for Nurses in Caregiving Roles (ASNCR).” The data were analyzed using percentages, means, standard deviation, Shapiro–Wilk, and Spearman’s cor- relation tests. Results: The nurses’ mean age was 30.35 ± 7.25 years and they were mostly female (98.2%) and had bachelor’s degree (69.1%), single (51.4%), and worked as nurses for 7.71 ± 7.54 mean years. The lowest mean score received by nurses from the Nursing Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice Questionnaire was (Mean = 19.54, SD = 4.02) in the technical dimension, and their lowest mean score was from the ASNCR was from the attitude towards nurses’ roles in treatment process dimension (Mean = 4.26, SD = 0.76). A moderate, positive, and statisti- cally significant (P < 0.001) correlation was found between the total scores and dimension scores of both scales. Conclusions: This study found that caregiving roles and critical thinking levels of nurses were above the mean score. It is important to increase the awareness of nurses about criti- cal thinking and decision-making skills in the professional education process. Nurse manag- ers may take an active role in nurturing critical thinking skills for effective outcomes.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Evaluation of Coping Mechanism of Mothers of Children With Chronic Diseases During Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic(Aves, 2024) Erkut, Zeynep; Kose, Selmin; Savaser, Sevim; Kaya, Gizem; Ogut, Nehir UluAIM: The aim of this study was to determine the problems, perceived stress, and coping with the stress of mothers of children with chronic diseases during the pandemic. METHODS: The study was conducted with cross-sectional design. The data were gathered from the mothers of children with chronic diseases who were followed up at the endocrine outpatient clinic of a hospital in Istanbul between February 1, 2021, and May 31, 2021. The data were collected by conducting face-to-face interviews with mothers of 117 children through information form, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Coping with Stress Scale (CSS). RESULTS: It was determined that 35.9% of the mothers stated that they had problems during the pandemic since their children suffered from chronic diseases. The mean scores of the mothers were 26.88 +/- 6.69 points for the PSS and 87.35 +/- 11.04 points for the CSS and there was a negative and weak correlation between their scale scores (r = -.190; p < .05). CONCLUSION: It was found that families faced many different problems during the pandemic, such as the treatment and control of their children. In case of extraordinary situations such as pandemics, nurses should provide planned guidance and counseling services to children with chronic diseases and their families in order to manage the negative situations they experience.
