Article The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index Short Form in Turkish: A Psychometric Study(BMC, 2026) Arici, Furkan Cihat; Harmancı Seren, Arzu Kader; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Ayan, GüzinBackgroundThe work environment is a concept encompassing factors that increase or decrease a nurse's ability to practice the nursing profession competently and provide high-quality care. This study aims to adapt the short form of the Nursing Work Index-Nursing Work Environment Assessment Scale, which is used in many countries to evaluate the nursing work environment, to Turkish.MethodsThe study sample consisted of 711 nurses. For this study, data were collected from the researchers' personal social media accounts (WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Instagram) between October and December of 2024. The Turkish version of the short form of the Practice Environment Scale from the Nursing Work Environment Index was used to collect the data. After creating the Turkish version of the instrument through translation and back-translation and collecting data, the researchers conducted content validity analyses, construct validity tests, and internal consistency analyses to assess the instrument's psychometric properties.ResultsThe items' content validity ratios were 0.93, and correlation coefficients varied between 0.605 and 0.523. The one structure accounted for 56.122% of the total variance. PES-5 scale findings: chi & sup2;/df 3.76, CFI 0.973, TLI 0.946, SRMR 0.031, RMSEA 0.090, CR 0.62. The standardized factor loadings for the scale items ranged from 0.610 to 0.743. The scale was compatible with its five items and one-factor structure The items' standardized factor loadings ranged from 0.370 to 0.575. The Cronbach's alpha consistency value was 0.804.ConclusionA short form of the practice environment scale of the Nursing Work Index is a valid and reliable tool in Turkish.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice: A Qualitative Study of Nurses' Perspectives on Opportunities, Challenges, and Ethical Implications(BMC, 2025) Bodur, Gonul; Cakir, Hanife; Turan, Suzan; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Goktas, PolatBackgroundThe study aims to explore nurses' views on the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing, focusing on their understanding, practical applications, ethical considerations, and perceived opportunities and threats.MethodsThis qualitative study used semi\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}structured interviews to gain comprehensive insights from clinical nurses, adhering to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research for methodological rigor.

The interviews explored nurses' perceptions of AI, including its basic concepts, applications in nursing practice, ethical and social implications, and potential benefits and drawbacks.ResultsThe analysis identified four overarching themes: (1) Nurses' Conceptualizations of Artificial Intelligence, (2) Opportunities of AI in Nursing Practice, (3) Threats of AI in Nursing Practice, and (4) Ethical and Psychological Concerns in AI-Based Nursing Practice. The findings revealed that nurses had a foundational understanding of AI and its definitions. They acknowledged both the positive and negative impacts of AI technologies on their practice. Nurses expressed that AI could reduce workload, enhance patient care, and improve efficiency. However, they also articulated significant threats, including concerns over professional redundancy, emotional disconnection in caregiving, de-skilling, and the risk of dehumanizing the healthcare environment. Additionally, ethical and psychological concerns emerged, such as ambiguity in accountability, threats to data security and patient safety, unsuitability in psychiatric care contexts, staff surveillance anxiety, and risks of misuse or systemic bias.ConclusionThe study concluded that while nurses possess a basic understanding of AI, the effective and ethical integration of AI technologies in nursing requires targeted training, institutional preparedness, and robust interdisciplinary collaboration. To ensure AI complements rather than compromises nursing values, it is imperative to equip nurses with skills in digital literacy, ethical reasoning, and critical engagement with AI tools. The findings highlight the necessity of structured education programs and policy development that address both the technological and humanistic dimensions of AI use in healthcare. Future research should actively incorporate patient and public voices to ensure that AI-driven transformations in care remain aligned with the principles of patient-centeredness and human dignity.Article Psychometric Evaluation of the Person-Centred Climate Questionnaire - Staff Version(BMC, 2025) Arici, Furkan Cihat; Harmanci Seren, Arzu Kader; Edvardsson, DavidBackgroundValid and reliable instruments are needed to assess person-centredness that serve as quality care indicators. Person-Centred Climate Questionnaire - staff version is an interculturally used tool to evaluate person-centredness in clinical settings. This study aimed to examine the psychometrics of the tool in the Turkish language.MethodsThis was a methodological study involving a sample of 140 nurses. One of the researchers collected data using the Turkish version of the questionnaire-staff version in a private hospital in Istanbul. After performing the language validity steps, the researchers analysed the content validity ratios of the items and the questionnaire's content validity index, and they performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the construct. The internal consistency of the subdimensions and the questionnaire was determined utilising a Cronbach's Alpha test.ResultsThe content validity ratios of the items ranged from 0.84 to 1, and the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.50 to 0.69. The three-factor structure accounted for 70.40% of the total variance. The items' standardised factor loads were between 0.501 and 1.140. The Cronbach's alpha consistency value was 0.90.ConclusionThe staff version of the questionnaire is an adequately valid and reliable instrument in the Turkish language.Article Citation - Scopus: 1A Sentiment Analysis of Turkish Tweets Shared in Nursing Week During the Pandemic(Association of Executive Nurses, 2022) Doğan, M.B.; Oban, V.; Dikeç, G.Aim: This study aimed to conduct an artificial intelligence-based sentiment analysis of Turkish tweets about nursing during the nursing week during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The descriptive and cross-sectional research was conducted with 319 nursing students. Data were collected with the Introductory Information Form and Hidden Curriculum Evaluation Scale in Nursing Education (HCES-N). While the mean score of the HCES-N total score of the nursing students attending the university in the West of Türkiye was 163.31 ± 21.69. The HCES-N total mean score of the nursing students attending in the East of Türkiye was calculated as 145.50 ± 25.81. While the HCES-N total score, school atmosphere, and professional achievement scores of the nursing students attending the university in the West of Türkiye were statistically higher than the nursing students attending the university in the east, the student-teacher-school interaction score was statistically lower. It was determined that the perceptions of the students participating in the study towards the hidden curriculum were moderate, while the perceptions of the students studying in the West of Türkiye were better. In line with these results, it is important to improve the physical conditions of schools in improving the hidden curriculum. © 2024, Inonu University.

AimThe authors aimed to give brief information to the international nursing community about the situation related to earthquakes in the aspects of nurses. ConclusionThese earthquakes caused traumatic processes in the affected regions. Many people, including nurses and other healthcare professionals, died or were injured. The results demonstrated that the required preparedness had not been applied. Nurses went to these areas voluntarily or on assignment and cared for individuals with injured. The universities in the country passed to distance education because of the shortage of safe places for victims. This situation also negatively influenced nursing education and clinical practice by interrupting in-person education one more time after the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications for nursing and nursing policySince the outcomes show a need for well-organized health and nursing care, policymakers may consider getting nurses' contributions to the disaster preparedness and management policy-making processes.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2The Effect of a Video-Based Covid-19 Paediatric Patient Education on State Anxiety in Children With Suspected Covid-19 Admitted To Hospital(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Sanci, Yagmur; Celik, Serap; Yildiz, SuzanBackground: Anxiety causes the long-term psychological impacts on children during the pandemic.Objective: The aim of this study is to reduce anxiety in paediatric patients and increase their adherence to treatment through a video-based COVID-19 paediatric patient education.Methods: This quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest single group was carried out in a research hospital's COVID-19 Paediatric Emergency Area in Turkey between May and August 2020.
